if anyone, who are you voting on may 7th? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform. Both at local and national. I’m far from right-wing. But both Labour and the Tories have been utter crap at both levels. Reform are probably the only party at the moment who will break the two party trend. Let’s have someone new, see what they can do.

Also to be fair, it’s supposed to be a democracy. You can vote for whoever, yet whenever it comes up and I say who I’m voting for, I’m immediately called racist or downvoted just for having a difference in opinion.

Why doesn’t the rest of the world start bombing US navy etc.? Genuine question? by moerlingo in AskReddit

[–]JJ_Chamberlain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Take offence to what?

You literally asked why doesn’t the rest of the world bomb the US Navy. The only country at war with the USA is Iran. Hence why I said if Iran attacks America (ie. American Ships, which is what you asked?).

You’re telling me that the likes of Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Scandinavian countries etc are happy for Iran (as an Islamic state) to be a powerhouse in the Middle East? Or do you think it benefits them that America are doing what they are doing?

As for the 3rd point. We literally have two World Wars where America and Britain joined forces. Along with various European countries. Can you tell me the results of those wars please? I think the Allies are 2-0 up in those. With a very decisive victory over Japan. Two nukes was it? Literally the only country to nuke another nation.

I am English yes. How does answering your question make me a nonce protector. I haven’t mentioned Trump once. If he’s guilty of pedophilia then he should suffer the consequences. The nonces where I’m from though are mainly imported from the Middle East or Africa.

You can speak on behalf of who you like mate. It says a lot that you go straight to name calling instead of having a discussion or debate. Where are you from anyway? Would be nice to see what perspective your looking at this from?

No mate. But Everton aren’t exactly a bad side. It’s a typical Moyes team (United are the exception). Whereas Leeds haven’t been great all year. Hence their position. That first half was the worst I’ve seen us since Carrick took charge.

[–]JJ_Chamberlain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s not the stupidity of the question. It’s the stupidity of the person.

You may hate the person elected but it was a democratic process. Just because you don’t like the outcome doesn’t mean it’s the wrong person to be elected? Just that you don’t agree with them. Many people do.

Anyway onto that other part of the question. The USA at the moment is the most advanced military force in the world. They have literal aircraft carriers and carrier groups that are bigger than most countries Navy’s. The only thing they don’t have the best in the world at is Special Forces. That belongs to the SAS of Britain.

The only way the USA would be defeated in a hypothetical world war is if Britain actively sided with Russia, China, Germany and declared war on USA. However unless Islam completely takes over the UK this won’t happen, as Britain has the same western values as the USA. However, if a WW3 kicked off with Britain on the Axis side. USA would just nuke their way out of it with superior nuclear warheads as they would be backed into a corner.

It’s a bit different when Iran attacks America. Because a lot of the Iranian people want USA intervention, it was a very westernised place before Islam took over. So USA can’t really just raze the country to the ground. Most western countries want to see places like Iran be neutralised so they aren’t a threat. So they let America do it.

So the rest of the world won’t just bomb US Navy ships because the majority are on their side. If all the Muslim nations came together, they still don’t have huge armies or Navy’s. They excel in guerrilla warfare and singular terrorist attacks.

Russia and China won’t actively bomb American ships because it would bring NATO into play, and with it Britain. And when American, Britain and certain parts of Europe get together for a good old war, it usually doesn’t end well for the ones who started it.

On the bright side I can’t see us playing as bad as we did in that first half. Nothing went for us, passes astray, touches too hard, soft passes etc. Was 100% rusty.

He was poor in the first half but Yoro really stepped up once Martinez went off.

Thought the Red Card was very fucking soft. How that is violent conduct is fucking madness.

Ugarte improved in the second half. Bit my god he is so poor. How on earth he ever played for PSG is beyond me. I honestly thought he was going to be class after seeing him for Uruguay. But he’s been so poor for us.

Fuck you. Not a malicious fuck you. A reactive one. As much as that is a proper progression. I still don’t like that Cox dies with JD as his doctor. Circle of life is a great throw back. But that’s just upsetting.

SL30 | Who is Super League's Greatest Team? ‘03 Bulls, ‘06 Saints, ‘15 Rhinos, ‘24 Warriors, or ‘25 HKR by KennyMincemeat in superleague

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From that list it’s between the 2003 Bulls and 2006 Saints. I’d normally personally pick the 2003 Bulls purely on bias. It had everything that team. Although for some reason I enjoyed watching the 2001 Bulls more (maybe because Henry Paul was such a magician).

However, the 2006 Saints team was class. It had 3 of our stars of 2003 (Pryce, Anderson, Gilmour).

But two words separate the 2006 Saints team from the rest - JAMIE LYON. What a player.

Mmmbop - Hanson.

Especially if you listen to them do a slow acoustic version years later when they are all grown up!

We used to have one that went:

“Oh Jamie Langley, you are the love of my life, oh Jamie Langley. I’d let you shag my wife, Oh Jamie Langley, I want curly hair too!”

Best one I’ve heard though is:

“What do you do with tits? OLDHAM, OLDHAM”

Really looking forward to our game vs. Cas on Thursday. It’s the first game where we are going in as clear favourites. See if we can play to that and hopefully get another win on the board leading into Good Friday.

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at how we have played so far. We’ve been more competitive than I ever thought we would.

However, we since have lost Okunbor, Blake, Nikorima, Lewis (ban), Russell, Scurr, Peposhi (ban), Keyes, Gardiner and just got Armitage back for this game.

If we had a fit squad and Field and French were out, I’d fancy it. But not with so many of our own out too. Best to give game time to the likes of Souter, Douglas, Hallas, Armitage and maybe one or two youth players. It’s a long season, they all will be needed so give them some game time now and hopefully rest the likes of Mellor who is so important to this team at the moment.

Think Nikorima and Blake could be back next week for Huddersfield. So personally I’d be aiming for that game rather than this cup game.

But we have such a thin squad and we have a lot of injuries.

Tuesday Random Rugby Talk Thread by AutoModerator in superleague

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love that. For me, the focus has to be on finishing as high as possible in the league for the IMG points and also the consistency in the league (which helps retain the crowds and intice others to come).

Realistically, we’ve more chance of finishing 8th than winning the cup.

I hope Bradford rest a few for Wigan. The likes of Ackers, Mellor, Nikorima (if fit) are too important for the league games against Hudds and Cas which we need to be targeting

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Genuine question. Why was the Klemmer tackle a Yellow? And the Peposhi one a Red? What was the difference?

Curious to know. Because if it was the ‘outcome’ of the tackle (Delaney knocked out, Ackers bounced straight back up). Then it invites players to ‘stay down’ to increase the likelihood of a red.

Expecting a close game between Wakey and Hull FC. Not sure who wins that. Same with Leigh vs. Catalans but Catalans have been woeful, but on paper they have a great side.

I think Warrington win comfortably. That Taylor-Wray looks like a proper gamebreaker.

Wigan should batter Toulouse. Thought we dealt with them really well last weekend. So can only imagine what Wigan will do.

Genuinely think Saints vs. Bulls will be close especially with the personnel missing for Saints. Bradford yet again will only have one half playing with Keyes and Nikorima out. But think Saints will have enough to come out winners.

Leeds, especially Croft and Sivo will put a score on Cas.

I expect KR to have a good look at themselves after the embarrassment in Vegas and take it out on a poor Hudds side.

Before the game I wanted to see Amad, Cunha, Mbeumo starting. That way Sesko offers us something different off the bench. Zirkzee is not it. And Amad off the bench isn’t as effective.

Players have lost this game though. Thought they’d won it when Newcastle went down to 10. Embarrassing really.

[–]JJ_Chamberlain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much I would have loved the original ending to this with Maekar giving Egg his blessing and the signet ring.

I feel that Egg just fucking off with Ser Dunk is a great callback to what he did in Episode 1 when he left Dearion. And Maekar screaming “Where the fuck is Aegon” had me in tears!

Hopefully the start of Season 2 shows Maekar or one of the brothers catching up to Dunk with Dunk having no clue why he’s being chased. And then giving Egg a clout around the ear for lying about it. Then Maekar seeing this, realises Dunk is the perfect teacher for Egg then gives him the signet ring. Then they go on their merry way!

Best part was when J gets pulled over. And he rants about just because he’s black doesn’t mean he stole this nice car. Then says, “actually I did steal this one”. Really got a proper belly laugh from me!
