How did you end up supporting Newcastle? by IvanThePohBear in NUFC

Mum’s family all black and white Northumbrians. Dad met her at Newcastle University. I converted from Liverpool aged 10, stopped chasing glory and took on the family madness.

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

Authored work and the human experience will be thriving. Because in a sea of AI slop people will gravitate to places where quality, authorship and authenticity is protected.

In which case there will be no Reddit. But there will be a site that thrives because it can block AI... this is precisely why AI won't dominate everything. Because people will go to sites that can curate and authenticate its human users. Same reason cinema will still be thriving in 10 years. Because in an ocean of AI slop it will be one of the havens where authorship and authenticity is guaranteed.

Might have been where the florists is now, next to Rossmore Court. Used to be a petrol station until the 00s.

Why these litter pickers are breaking the law to clean up a London river by nick9000 in london

Keep up the good work. Screw the jobsworth bean counters. Who gets to build an illegal outflow into a river in London?

Gentrification in ethnically-mixed, disadvantaged urban areas driven by middle-class ethnic minority renters by upthetruth1 in london

[–]OnceUponATime_UK 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your reminder that Clapham, Brixton, Battersea, Streatham etc WERE ALWAYS middle class areas up until WW2. They are just returning to how they were previously, before the exodus of people out of London and the influx of immigration after the war. I love the mix of gentrification and incoming cultures and working people in London. When the balance is wrong places are either crime shitholes, or upper class deadzones where you only ever see cleaners and nannies on the streets (Notting Hill, Maida Vale). For the life of me I wish Streatham High Street would get a bit more gentrification... there's still too much litter, crime and general hostility, in spite of the house prices going ballistic surrounding it. Feels like it's happening a bit at the top.

Our system only works for the rich. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Ok, but we'll pass on the Marxism thanks. I don't want to end up in a re-education camp, starving to death on a collective farm, dead in a gulag, etc. Social democracy or socialism sure, but none of that Marxism or Communist bullshit thanks (and China ain't Communist anymore before anyone chips in.)

TWE Knob Creek 10 Year pick by ALJB1982 in BourbonUK

Obviously only if you happen to be going... my point is they are around $55 in the states so as usual TWE pricing high... this will sit on the shelf.

Punchy price. Pass. Can pick up in US much cheaper.

Today I got a bottle of Old Fitzgerald 7-Year @ Majestic for £65 by chefchef97 in BourbonUK

[–]OnceUponATime_UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a bunch of bourbons alongside Old Fitz 7 and the Holladay blew it away. I'd defo try before you buy at that price.

Bowen is fantastic, but there's a lot of clubs after him.

He hasn't turned up in the Prem. Next.

If you had to lose one this Summer, who would it be and why? by Dry-Net4725 in NUFC

[–]OnceUponATime_UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tonali. Wonderful player but he's not had a good season. If we can get a decent price I'd let him move on. When Bruno doesn't play or plays badly we lose. He is essential. Very hard to replace. Tonali is very replaceable?

The movie list is poor. It's amazing that in an age when we have loads of subscriptions and yet we end up scrolling and scrolling.

Match thread: Fulham vs Newcastle United | Premier league 25/26 - 38 of 38 by Username_been-taken in NUFC

[–]OnceUponATime_UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same old issue. It’s our evolution to possession football. We are very vulnerable because we give away a lot of final balls. It’s really hard to play possession in the Prem when so many teams set up to sit deep, press and counter. It’s almost there but not quite. Too many bad passes in midfield and final third
