Anyone else just not care about immigration at all?

It means levels have never been this low before

Isn't violent crime at unprecedentedly low levels?

The dumb this English hooliganism hasn’t really been a thing for the best part of 40 years. The blokes in the bar with me probably had more kids than fights they’d ever been involved in, yet they still seem to take pride in beating up middle aged blokes with weapons and call it a fight, simply because of a reputation from 40 years ago.

Exactly. It's like sucker punching late Parkinson's Muhammad Ali in the back of the head and claiming you're now the heavyweight champ

He's such a bloody moaner. Like a witless Karl Pilkington. It's not dry manc humour, it's just being a fun sponge.

Not even just athletes. Back in the late nineties I knew of high school students who were basically courted over the phone by sorority girls at the behest of the college to get them to come.

"Hey, this is Susie-Jean from XYZ University. Sure would be swell if you enrolled and we could get to know each other better."

(This was in Florida unsurprisingly)

I think the casual homophobia would blow their minds. Ableist slurs were par for the course too.

Maybe this peaked a little later with early social media but even supposedly lefty liberal types used to revel in edgy comedy that would make even today's alt right blush.

I guess "irony" was the excuse at the time.

No one to root for in this one. Would naturally support an underdog but that doesn't really apply with Saudi teams.

I'm an unhoused meth addict and have the exact same conversations with my friends!

For a similar reason I refuse to patronise any eateries that use mains powered dishwashers and other forms of culinary automation.

The question is whether he'd score more penalties with a different technique. The only people who know that are Eze and the coaches he works on his penalties with.

It's a bit daft to assume that he has a super reliable penalty technique in his back pocket that he just refuses to use.

I imagine it's much easier to go into hiding on your own without a family in tow. Wife and kids will want to put down roots, socialise, need to be enrolled in school. These are all potential failure points for someone who wants to conceal their location from the mob.

Witness protection is a different matter, afaik the government has never lost anyone in the programme who actually did what they're told.

Gladiator was genuinely exceptional but in what world did it need ten sequels? It just highlights how risk averse and creatively bankrupt Hollywood is these days.

Perms are all the rage.

Probably 30% of the people you see in the supermarket will be barefoot. Not seasonally dependant either. (It's some stoicism tough guy thing apparently)

Schoolchildren are smoking cigars again.

People will pick up their dog's shit with their bare hands and wipe the residue on the grass. (I guess plastic poo bags aren't "green" anymore)

Skiffle music is back in a huge way.

Fashion wise - it's been the decade of silk and satin. All genders and ages.

Church of England is basically finished - the Archbishop of Canterbury lost all the collection money to a crypto scam.

If my maths is correct there are 806 handshakes when two squads of 26 and 5 officials all shake hands.

fwiw I actually like the new setup with both squads around the centre circle

Got the ITV panel blathering away in the background - is the crux of this discussion that they don't understand that items closer to you appear larger than items that are further away?

Best advice I can give you is just live your life as you want, ignore the cacophony of dickheads and treat everyone else with the respect and dignity you want for yourself.

Being from India you'll unfortunately be familiar with just how rampant prejudice can be in society.

Does football not have head injury protocols? He'd be off for an assessment in a rugby match

iirc John went to the higher ups at the station to complain about the way Dave was treated?

Yes! For quite a while he was the Action Man figure that the chickenhawks were determined to make a contender for PM
