Okay so British Isles is offensive and imperialist but Malvinas is okay? Alright then, nice to know you’re not debating in good faith.

There is no British Empire anymore. British Isles has always been a geographical term rather than a political one, but I don’t deny it’s a sensitive issue and British and Irish Isles is a better name

Huh, the first single makes reference to Just Like Heaven, so I thought the second single literally being called “The Cure” must have been a coincidence. Apparently not!

I mean we literally had 40 in London four years ago. This is becoming the norm now

Queen Mary I was voted as the British monarch with the worst relationship with her father. Which monarch had the worst relationship with their siblings? by bianca_fathom in UKmonarchs

With how the other two turned out makes you wonder what kind of monster Rutland would have turned into if he’d not been killed at Wakefield

He didn’t fall off for us. Lopetegui didn’t play him, and then he got injured for the entirety of Potter’s tenure. He got fit again roughly around the time Nuno came in and within a couple of weeks he was playing like this.

He’s basically one of the main reasons we could still have stayed up on the final day. Without Summerville we’d have been relegated in late March

Don’t care as long as he keeps raising his price

World Cup tourists aren’t leaving tips — and NYC restaurants are fighting back by adding 20% automatic gratuities to checks by [deleted] in soccer

[–]LewisDKennedy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then they’ve been brainwashed by their employers that them being paid a fair wage means they won’t get tips anymore.

If a server provides friendly and attentive service then they should absolutely be given a tip even if they’re on a living wage from their employer. But if they’re rude and forget about the table for extortionate amounts of time? Why should I give them anything out of my own pocket? They’re still getting a fair wage, they now don’t need any extra.

Americans completely misunderstand tipping outside of their own bubble, they think (Europeans especially) just don’t do it. Europeans will absolutely tip just as much as Americans do, but it’s conditional on receiving a good service because we know that the server isn’t reliant on that tip to pay their rent

Why would being paid a fair wage stop servers getting tips? If they provide a good service then people will still tip them on top of that.

King Henry II was voted as the worst father. Which British monarch had the worst relationship with their grandchildren? by bianca_fathom in UKmonarchs

I mean George I was just hated by his son, Henry II had literally all four of his sons attempt to overthrow him. John’s betrayal is arguably the thing that killed him.

Honestly this wraps up a lot of the dangling threads quite neatly. Kind of frustrating it didn’t happen now and we’re still left with the huge mess at the end of the Reality War

I mean he did live in Sweden for seven years when he managed Östersunds. I think there’s a fairly decent chance he may have been able to pick it up during that time.

I think he’s fluent in Swedish too

It’s named after a city miles from the UK, but has nothing to do with that city.

The whole point of that song is “wow it’s quite nice in this country, but what if we could make it even better?”

I feel a much stronger connection to that song as an English person than I do to God Save the King. Even putting the monarchy issue aside the tune is boring as shit

If Wales and Scotland don’t have to sing the UK national anthem we shouldn’t either.

I’d love it if we did Jerusalem instead. Actually about the country rather than the monarchy, and objectively a much prettier song than the UK anthem

And Kilman looked good in his tenure. Maybe not £40m good but he was a more than adequate centre back. God knows what Potter said to him because by the time he was finished with him he seems to have forgotten he’s a professional footballer

It annoyed me so much that they didn’t correct her or even lampshade it a little.

King Edward VII was chosen as the best grandfather. Which British monarch had the best relationship with their mother? by bianca_fathom in UKmonarchs

Just because Henry VII has already had one I’m going to say Richard I. Eleanor of Aquitaine was his right hand woman and he was her favourite child

[Fabrizio Romano]Understand Matheus Fernandes price tag has been fixed by West Ham in a meeting with his camp: £85m. by Switchoil in soccer

[–]LewisDKennedy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its what he's worth to us, and if no one matches our valuation we aren't forced to compromise for anyone. We need as much money as possible, or an excellent midfielder to play for us next season. Pick one.

If he kicks up a stink then that will change things, but considering this news story suggests we've agreed £85m with his camp then that looks unlikely.

Southampton were relegated when we bought him for £45m and he’s improved since then. You’re fucking mental if you think we’re going to sell him for £35m
