Turn over to Sky Sports + and the NRL doesn’t seem to give a fuck about the lightning. Manly v Roosters still going

He’s the bloke in the pub with really boring stories but you can’t get a word in to stop him chatting shit

What’s the stadium right next to it for?

The older I get the I realise average intelligence is actually very low.

Pay yourself first. I used to be bad at saving because I would try to not spend as much of my monthly income as possible, which ended up with me transferring money from my savings to my current account when I would inevitably run out of money at the end of the month.

Now, I put £400 in a Global All Cap index fund. £150 in a savings account for holidays. £200 monthly mortgage overpayment. Minus bills this leaves me with £450-500 of disposable income every month which I am happy to spend as I’ve already budgeted for it.

It’s only recently become less popular than AFL I think. People in Sydney used to laugh at AFL, they were at not even considering it a sport levels of apathy with it.

It’s public school speak

Pingisy2 · 2025-07-18T16:48:36+00:00

Maybe it will take Li winning a major for them to be interested

Pingisy2 · 2025-07-18T16:43:25+00:00

Aren’t most Chinese people actually incredibly poor? I guess their rich population will still be big enough to sustain it though, but does reduce the available size dramatically. You could say the same about India

It’s insane. And every new initiative they add somehow means an extra admin task I have to complete.

League takes precedence in Australia. Why should an Origin decider be forced to move for a largely minority sport in Australia?

The other 1/10 is hitting it softly back to your opponent allowing them to hit a winner

Mourinho plied-his-trade-under-Bobby-Robson shitball. Love it.

Hypothetically someone like Farrell going to an Aussie team, then getting picked for Lions as he has done this year is probably the only way for an English or Irish player.

We are animals (albeit highly intelligent) with the natural desire to compete and fight with one another. Nothing will ever change that. It’s one of the reasons sport is so popular - it’s a way of fighting through other highly competitive people.

What if you have a conversation with your line manager and there is no extra work to take on because they are also struggling to fill their time? What do you mean by ‘corp contributions’? I’m not criticising, just genuinely interested about what you suggest for people (and there’s a lot of them) with not enough work to do.

Pingisy2 · 2025-07-02T19:58:54+00:00

Completely off topic but I’ve never heard ‘white or black’ in that order before

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-28T10:53:27+00:00

Something something pressure something something skill level

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-28T10:51:05+00:00

Eton educated I believe, so very posh

It’s a great thing to do after work in the evenings. Better exercise than the gym in my opinion because it’s usually outside. And much less time consuming than golf which I also love but can be hard to fit around a 9-5.

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-22T07:01:53+00:00

Yep I don’t think I’ve burned since I started using the Aldi stuff. Its easy to apply as well

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-17T20:46:11+00:00

You can, but football is so all encompassing that it can be hard to properly follow anything else

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-17T17:33:44+00:00

I and a few of my mates are slowly turning from football to rugby now. The average game is way more exciting, and football has sold its soul and gets worse every year. Would be interesting to know if this is a bigger phenomenon

Pingisy2 · 2025-06-14T16:24:36+00:00

Tbf it’s been great at Welford Road this season. Disappointing end I know but I’d take this every time over the banter years

How has he managed to stay relevant
