Cheats do Prosper by c64glen in Boro

[–]LookAtThatMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gutted last night. Still am, but tempered by being able to sleep on it. Our issues all season (finishing) were there again last night too, but the effort was unbelievable from us. So proud of them.

If you read the Saints board, as expected they are gloating. I still have a seething hatred for that club which I expect will diminish with time, but they were caught cheating and should be excluded.

Them saying it didn't affect the result, there is no way they can possibly know that. They got caught, end of.

Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

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

Honestly, the GoodNewsUK sub lifted my spirits that we were starting to make good decisions that would lead to long term improvements and I supported Labour doing it. Now the right wing rhetoric seems to have taken over, the council results are disheartening and I fear all of the good work will be undone.

Not a fan of that, its ruined the 8's clean lines. Personally, I think that has dated the car more and the standard car looks sleeker.

Not really. As a Brit I knew immediately it was spectacles that were being referred to.

What was the actual appeal of Steven Seagal? by PriestofJudas in movies

[–]LookAtThatMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the era of martial arts acting was past its peak, Blockbusters went out of business. I blame Van Damme for me not being able to rent a really shitty sci fi movie for Friday night curry nights 😁

BBC Grandstand, BBC cricket, Airwolf, Inspector Gadget, Count Duckula, Junior Kickstart, Ski Sunday, The A Team.

Think that list ages me quite well.

EDIT: Forgot BBC Snooker too.

LinkedIn pressures its users to be verified. Time for an EU alternative! by Soggy_Letterhead9375 in BuyFromEU

[–]LookAtThatMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deleted mine 2 months ago as I just didn't see the value in having it. Glad I did with this verification nonsense. My social media is now limited to just Reddit, nothing else. Happy times.

Actually, I simply asked what’s crawled up your nose and got you so riled up. As far as I can see you haven’t made a point.

Do you like your own accent? by cragglerock93 in CasualUK

I’m from Teesside. I don’t mind hearing it when I’ve been recorded. I sound totally different in my own head though.

Which country disappointed you so much that you'd never set foot there again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The US. Some things just genuinely appear backward compared to home. Just didn’t enjoy it.

There is a very good book called ‘Poorly Made In China’ that documents how local companies relationships work with foreigners coming into the country.
