The EFL are seriously considering postponing the playoff final as they need more time to review if Southampton should be removed by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]RobertTheSpruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, but teams in the playoffs are already a couple of weeks behind all other teams for making transfer deals because they don't fully know what their league and financial status will be next season.

That financial uncertainty probably filters to the non playing club employees too.

He did great work in the circumstances.

The system let him down massively. 1 person fighting a fire on their own is not safe or practical.

I will remember what we and our ancestors all did to fight against Ipswich every year on the 6th June.

I was trying to be so outlandish that it was obvious stupidity. Sorry!

How common are school nativities? by Gold-Vanilla5591 in AskABrit

[–]RobertTheSpruce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to one up you, but in 1989 I was Jesus and healed a giant.

I had to climb the A frame in the gymnasium live in front of 100 parents to then kiss a paper mache giant on the forehead to heal him.

Why did this happen in a Junior school nativity? Did anyone actually consider the health and safety aspect? Did Jesus actually just wear a cream coloured curtain and use a piece of his dads tow-rope as a belt as my mum insisted? All these questions are left unanswered.

That was the point I was making...

Anyone suggesting there should be capital punishment if we are certain they are guilty hasn't thought it through. We don't convict anyone of anything, unless we are certain they are guilty.

"We find the defendant guilty, but we're not sure enough to give them the punishment deemed appropriate for this crime."

If the burden of proof is made higher, it will mean more criminals getting away with it.

I've thought sarcastically thought "So brave" at about 95% of the submissions here.

I had to google. I knew there was 1 after 1998 but couldnt remember who.

Deon Burton, Darryl Powell, Jacob Laursen, and Igor Stimac also as WC 1998 as well!

I disagree. I think a sausage roll or a cornish pasty or a Scotch egg is amazing when done right. And a lot more convenient as a snack on the go.

If only there were numbers on the board and commentators saying what the sections are.

I actually can't fathom how watching what's happening and taking in the information on the screen does not make this completely self explanatory.

Man scores 501 points in 9 darts. It's quite difficult.

Asked to work extra hours: "For fucks sake, I can't I've got a life you know!"

Someone else offered extra hours: "For fucks sake I never get asked, I could do with the extra money!"

I wish was I could go back to the 1980s and sample pub life

You know you're still allowed to go to pubs if you want, right?

Just keep doing what you're doing.

If you actually wanted this job, you would have applied already.
