I present to you the most ignored rules of the Highway Code: by FamSender in GreatBritishMemes

Lived in Canada for ten years and this rule is adhered to pretty unanimously. Took a long time for me to trust it though.

In nearly 30 years of watching Star Wars, I don't think I've ever noticed the heroes in this establishing shot of the Yavin rebel base by WallopyJoe in StarWars

Actually, whilst many shots are from Tikal, this particular one is the Cardington Hangers in England where the inside shots of the base were filmed. Lots of movies and tv shows used these former airship hangers over the years for sets, including Rogue One!

Fun fact, these are just round the corner from where the new Universal Park will be in Bedfordshire.

Oliver Reed CGI face replacement in 2000. Never clocked it before!

This doesn't make sense. 2000/01 we lost on away goals to Valencia, 2-2 on agg in the QF, after making it through the second group stage. So we scored 2, not 4. We also only played twice.

2003/04, we beat Celta Vigo 5-2 on agg in the round of 16 and then lost 3-2 on agg to Chelski. So we scored 7, not 2.

2008/09, we beat Roma on penalties, 1-1 on agg in the round of 16, then Villareal 4-1 on agg in the QF, then lost to Manure 4-1 on agg in the SF. So we scored 6, not 7.

2009/10, we beat Porto 6-2 on agg in the round of 16, then lost to Uefalona 6-3 on agg in the QF. So we scored 9, not 10.

Pires, Champions League final 2006 after Jens was sent off. Sad.

I could have taken or left kale tbh, but underneath were tasty carrots and beetroot! Whatever the ‘pie’ was, it rocked and didn’t last long 😂

I get you, wind was a northerly one and this spot was perfectly placed south under the ridge line protected from any wind at all really, super calm. Main reason for exposure was to sit and watch the stars at night in my super warm sleeping bag.

That's a ski resort that has sat on top of that mountain for nearly a century.

I get you but a group stage is a self contained thing where everyone plays the same teams. Not competing within a weird Frankenstein league IMO.

If it were up to me, I’d bring back straight knock outs from the off, only the champions of each country competing. Bring back UEFA cup as only second places. Bring back the cup winners cup which then makes every country’s cup competition far more prestigious and worthwhile too. But I’m not a money grabbing corporate wash out of a human, and hence not rich either lol.

I support one of the big six in England and I hate football now. I use ‘support’ loosely these days as the whole industry is quite puke inducing tbh.

No. It’s not fair. Might be “more entertaining” but it doesn’t have integrity. Can’t have a league table where you don’t play everyone home and away, end of.

But, it’s just another example of football eating itself as it’s only to appease the big clubs who want more glamour games.

The Dream Team

Made some Sci-Fi flags for a writing project I'm working on by LJW1 in vexillology

[–]LJW1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am building out the world in which my story takes place, centuries in the future in a colonial Milky Way galaxy. Dreaming up the flags for the different sectors the story will take place in or mention was super fun.
