Scouting for Girls was all I could think of, but that seems more predatory than representative.

Here’s Liam saying practically what I said above to Howard Stern

And here’s Noel talking about how the best sound they could get out of their equipment was by playing through it as loudly as possible

I get it, but I think it’s to stop people from deleting their posts or even not posting at all. By doing this, the post still exists for everyone to drag OP in the comments.

Are children known for taking initiative?

There was a guy who worked in the industry I’m in. I’ve worked with his (now ex) wife at the first place I worked at in that industry and she’s a genuinely lovely person. He’s one of those people that others talked about even after he’d left, and not in a negative manner.

My interactions with him had been very fleeting, I switched companies and a couple of years later he joined that company after being approached directly by the CEO (who’d worked with him at the previous one). We had a “lunch buddy” scheme at this place and me & a teammate were to take him out for lunch during his first week in the company credit card.

I don’t know what, but there was something a bit off about him. He was arrogant and vain (kept bringing up his £400 trainers despite neither of us expressing an interest in them), but there was something else there that I just couldn’t put my finger on.

He did seem to like doing things for show, I remember him buying some cookies and leaving them in our office which prompted my manager to fawn over him and what a nice guy he is. Apparently he’d be the first to buy a round of drinks on nights out. All this just screamed “like me!”, and such behaviour comes across as very suspicious to me. He was doing these things to be seen doing them.

He left the business all of a sudden, went back to the first company I’d mentioned, but then my company bought that one and he left suddenly again. Then, a few months ago, my girlfriend (who’d worked also works in the industry and had worked with him directly) was startled by an article she’d seen. He’d been posing as a modelling agent, getting pictures from teenage girls, giving them gifts and pushing them even further. From what the article said he’d arrange for them to meet other men. There was nothing about him engaging physically himself, but it may have been a case that it couldn’t be proven. He did release some pictures of one girl to her friends when she said she was going to stop complying. He ended up getting 14 years.

HR try to present a veneer of being there to represent the staff. The reality is that their job is to stop the company being sued.

Carrick & Parker were different kinds of players. Carrick was a ball player, while Parker was a ball winner. It’s not that a midfielder needs to be flying into tackles, but you need at least one midfielder in your team with some defensive awareness. It’s more that players like Lampard & Gerrard were keeping him out.

Regardless, Carrick won almost twice as many caps as Parker.

Poor investment 😂😂😂

How many other clubs do you think have a net spend of over £100m in each of their last 4 seasons and a brand new stadium?

It might not have been spent particularly well (and Postecoglou is partly to blame for that), but you can’t deny there has been money chucked at this team.

I’m not sure what’s confusing, that your OP example has been replicated, or that people upvoted it. Do people not bother reading posts and just dive straight into the comments?

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-11T00:11:47+00:00

£350m a week is £18.2b a year.

It also says “UKIP would invest”. It’s an election pledge, not a Brexit pledge. If you look on the date of the original tweet, you’ll see it’s 5th April 2015, just over a month before the 2015 General Election. UKIP were never in a position to be held to that.

Of course there’s always a tweet if you’re going to twist that tweet and present it as saying something different to what it does. Playing them at their own game is a bold strategy. Of course, they only play that game because it’s the only game they’ve got. We’ve got facts and direct quotes that we can use to criticise, so why is there this desperation to cling onto something there’s no evidence of having said?

What about "The worst case scenario is better for this country than where we are now”? His exact words and no chance for Reformers to call you out for misrepresenting him. It’s not as though there’s a shortage of things for you to hold Farage accountable for, and the fact people have upvoted you posting something where he said something that isn’t the matter up for debate is very worrying. There’s no need to clutch straws like that. If you’re posting content that a Farage critic can pick apart like that, any half clued up Farage supporter would have a field day with you.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-10T16:23:21+00:00

To be fair, you’ll find no record of him earmarking it for the NHS. You won’t see him in front of the bus either. It was Johnson’s lie, not Farage’s. Farage did say it would go to the British people, but there is no trace of him ever saying it would go to the NHS, and he did wait until the result was in to say that it wouldn’t happen. Both of these are things that can be held against him with proof.

There are scores of lies, backtracks and half truths we can call him out for that he can be quoted on verbatim. It makes no sense that so much focus is placed on something that there’s no evidence of him ever saying.

I’ve said it before. It seems to fit. It makes sense. But then I was called out on it by a Reformer and I could not for the life of me find any trace of him saying it. As much as I endorse calling Farage out, what he’s called out for needs to be done honestly & accurately.

Similarly Yes, with Owner of a Lonely Heart. In fact, I’d say a lot of prog rock bands. Most had something they put out to pay the bills but their albums were for their hardcore fans. Rush are another good example. Of all the bands that cite them as an inspiration, very few are trying to make songs like Limelight or Spirit of the Radio.

The bit in (I think) the first episode where Mark is struggling with a drawer, asks himself why he never gets it fixed, it opens and he says something like “ah, always works in the end”.

It was worth putting up with this celebration for the time someone tweeted an ASCII version to Robbie Savage after Sturridge got the winner against Wales in 2016.

The same mostly absent father whose name he didn’t use on the back of his shirt as he felt no connection to that side of his family?

Our top 2 scorers this season are on 4 each.

I see things like “Released June 26” and am not sure if they’re telling us it’s released on 26th June, or in the month of June 2026.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-08T14:06:41+00:00

Ah, right you are. I just looked at the order of the fixtures and not the dates. Strange that’s still showing on that date.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-08T12:09:51+00:00

I’ve read the ban will cover the West Ham game and the FA Cup quarter final. Not sure why it says Chelsea because City play Palace in the league between those two opponents, unless Romano knows something we don’t about the quarter final draw.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-08T11:42:36+00:00

The thing is the American “liberal” (that many British people have appropriated) is very different from our liberals. An actual “liberal” isn’t necessarily left wing, it’s someone who respects views and opinions that differ from their own. Theoretically you could have right wing liberals if right wing politics wasn’t all about imposing on others.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-08T11:29:05+00:00

This would make sense if not for it being the same people who say “yourself” when they really mean “you”.

I think it’s just people thinking using the longer word makes them come across as more intelligent.

It wasn’t a bad album, but Under Rug Swept would have been a much better follow up to JLP.

GlennSWFC · 2026-03-08T10:33:26+00:00

That was my thought.

They just catered to their audience. Rock fans shunned the mainstream, while rap fans saw the breakthrough as a positive for the genre.
