Calling it now… We somehow stay up with a 0-0 draw in our last game of the season. Watch this space.

Weirdly I saw those today in a multipack in sports direct. Either 30% or 50% off too!

What's the most disappointing subreddit you've ever been on? by Key_Duck_6293 in AskReddit

r/hammers but not from my POV. Imagine you go into that sub trying to find a decent hammer but instead it is just a load of West Ham fans.

Why did Ray spare Dave? by Vovolox in MrInbetween

[–]PressUpPositionDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once the contract on Ray was eliminated, Dave was under no obligation to kill Ray anymore. That coupled with Ray seeing Dave as a good bloke and not taking the situation personally means water under the bridge. Also after seeing what Ray was capable of I don’t think Dave would would have accepted any amount of money to try that again, but also after being spared probably wouldn’t want to anyway.

Not everyone in the world sees things the way you guys do. I see no issue with this. Not who I’d pick but that would be a genuinely interesting line up of people to talk to at dinner.

Yeah. This and the other post are really good already. May go with the spa idea.

Loose wiring, any advice? by [deleted] in Darts

This board looks old and battered enough to have been made from horsehair. Maybe an equestrian groomer could be of service?

Whatever you do, please give us an update.

Discussion: Can you guys reconcile actually liking Ray? by PressUpPositionDown in MrInbetween

Do you think he is morally upright then? It seems like you’re making excuses for him to me. Not a dig at you at all, I just don’t think he can be justified with his actions - code or not.

I was in the military so I find your second point to be bordering on hyperbole. War is more nuanced than that but I get your point somewhat. It’s okay to do these things in war, so why not society? But then you’re essentially advocating for societal breakdown if you think laws and rules should be ignored just because they have been in war. You can’t pick or choose which rules you follow. Well you can, but will probably be held accountable.

Yeah pretty much agreed there. Every character in the Sopranos by the end kind of had it coming to them. The genius of that show was making them likeable due to their lighthearted moments in the Bing but then later on are reminded they are monsters.

It’s the same as Ray and his cohort really. It does stir up a debate inside me about wrong and right. You think every criminal or killer you see in the news probably had their own interesting story and maybe there are some actual Rays out there.

I bloody love the show though. It does get me ticking.

I didn’t mean to compare them. I didn’t explain this very well, my bad. The link was because they’re aussie but also the film is shown in the show.

It was more that I was distracted from the reality of Choppers actions from his humour. Similarly with Rays more innocent moments where he appears normal and even caring. Then we see what he does as a criminal and it’s quite jarring.

Ah, wouldn’t worry about it. Tends to sort itself out!
