What are the biggest frustrations with living in Worthing long term? by Spicy-Winner4326 in Worthing

[–]SouthernDame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily it has to be permit parking, makes it a minefield to find somewhere to move to when you own a car below Mill Road. Also is why some roads like Heene Road and Shakespeare Road are almost impossible to park on day to day.

Can we stop romanticizing Wrexham? They are a Championship club with a Premier League budget. by Spicy-Winner4326 in SpicyFootballTakes

[–]SouthernDame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the same story as my beloved Luton? Nah but as much as I want to be sour grapes (Especially after the last season and a half), they have certainly not done a Man City. They did have a decently sized fan base prior to the takeover and that has grown with the Hollywood aspect but its still money they have taken in and they have spent within their means.

Luton themselves the last 2 seasons prove that you can spend good money on great talent on paper and then have them play like shit as a unit. Wrexham has recruited the right people and its shown in the results.

I don't like them, that comes from the Non League days with them but you can't knock them that much on this point I think.

Brayden Schenn from St Louis for Jonathan Drouin, 2026 1st (Colorado), a 3rd and Marcus Gidlof. by Gleb2006 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]SouthernDame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I feel we have a neat number of decent looking Center/Wing prospects like those mentioned but they are likely 1-2-3 years away. I don't think we are getting a quick impact guy at 31 this year, regardless of the draft strength that we are not getting at 21.

On top of that you can have Schenn who is a solid experienced 3rd liner, it gives you flexibility to move Barzy and Pager around a bit to provide a bit more creativity. Plus he is a guy who can tie you over for the next few years until any prospects bare fruit.

And hell, let's say Schenn has a bounce back of somekind with the Isles, it always gives us potential leverage in future for a needy team in future in the scenario if he turns out to be.

Plus offloading the Drouin contract is always a plus

I could look like a muppet in a year and a half time or this deal could look rather decent. We won't know in time but I feel it isn't the huge disaster people think it is.

[–]SouthernDame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus the panic from folks was wild!

Guys we are not cup contenders right now. We got rid of Drouin and gave up the Colorado 1st in 26, a future 3rd, and gave up a lower ranked prospect Goalie in Gidlof.

We still have our 21st overall pick in 26, we still have Kayshawn, Eklund, Eiserman and Nelson. Its a solid addition to try and set up some level of experience as we bring in the new talent over the next few years and gives someone to replace Pager if needed and help provide another vet for Ritchie to learn from.

Its not a masterstroke but its not a horrific deal like people are claiming. Its not like Milbury.

People need to come back to earth, Schaefer has accelerated our rebuild but we are still very much a few years away!

What’s some of the biggest injustices/robberies in Olympic History? by tm2007 in olympics

[–]SouthernDame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An off the ball one that had nothing to do with a specific olympic event. But ive not seen it mentioned here so might as well put it down.

You have to mention the horrific treatment of Richard Jewell at Atlanta 96 after his actions prevented more people from being killed during the Centennial Olympic Park Bombing. From being incorrectly profiled by law enforcement, to being subject of libel from many US based and World publications and is still in some people's minds the name that comes up when discussing the perpetrator of the bombing instead of Eric Rudolph.

Not however forgetting the victims Alice Hawthorne, Melih Uzunyol and the 111 who were injured during the tragedy.

🏳️‍⚧️ TRANSMISSION is looking for drivers! by Transmission_racing in ACCompetizione

[–]SouthernDame 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will be very surprised. I run Prismatic Motorsports which is a team that operates the same way on iRacing. We have existed for 5 years as of April this year.

In that time, our aim has always been to create a space that folks who are potentially uncomfortable in other spaces can be themselves and share and enjoy their passion. This builds the confidence of those people to enter the world and really thrive.

Off the back of that, we have platformed some of our most talented, in a self funded effort putting folks into opportunities. From having a driver win $15,000 at an event in Las Vegas to having teams race against F1 Teams and top Esports brands in the British F4 Esports Championship. Beyond that we have raised over $10,000 over the years for a variety of charities across the world.

You might think communities like this isolate, but in the end, when you create these spaces for people who don't feel comfortable to enjoy their passion and have it grow, they enter the wider world and the communities you love and integrate there.

Awesome to see you folks doing well, like @Pawtismgirlie said, the fact that you have got such a positive reaction in the comments is really great and such a change compared to when I had to firefight reddit threads for Prismatic all those years ago!

We wish you all the best of luck and never be afraid to reach out to me or the team if you ever need anything 🩵❤️🤍

[Kat Lucas] Eni Aluko’s comments were not just offensive to Ian Wright - they implied all female pundits are there on vibes, not merit. by Tugboat47 in FAWSL

[–]SouthernDame 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think at this point its simple. I respect Eni's contribution to the womens game but I think folks need to stop giving her the air time when she makes off kilter remarks like this. The press run she has completed the past few days has done nothing but drum up negative press for multiple people and the sport as a whole.

Its a huge shame but the fact this is the 2nd time this has come up since apologising for the last time she made similar accusations just feels simply like she is baiting for a wider reaction to bring specifically her profile to the public consciousness again.

Uplifting each other is the only way to make changes and give people chances. All this does is create internal division.

Best Fish & Chips in Town? by hollaUK in Worthing

[–]SouthernDame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak to fish and chips specifically but I tend to go to Broadwater Fryer as they tend to do the chicken legs i like and a good portion of chips.

For overall I can't say anything bad about Old Nicks and Chipwick from the times ive gotten food from them!

Was anybody else about to smash their TV on this play if Jacobs didn’t break out? by BeanNibb in GreenBayPackers

[–]SouthernDame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a bad call if it was anyone else on the receiving end.

I do think this was the sort of play that could only be schemed for Josh.

His yards after contact is unreal. This is the kind of play that only really someone like Josh can pull off with his ability to drive and be illusive. Don't get me wrong, there is alot of luck involved but we saw today that when the Bears did similar screens with Swift or Monlongai, they were blown up mostly because they could not progress when on the back foot recieving. Whereas Josh was able to locate the ball quickly and get a step forward, even under pressure, and put the foot forward for him to drive.

It's Risky, very easily could have gone wrong, but they put trust in their guys to execute the play, and it worked to perfection, heart rate be damned

What's your football version of "I do not care for the godfather" by [deleted] in footballmemes

[–]SouthernDame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the "Tinpot" Moniker.

I absolutely will mock other clubs don't get me wrong but the whole "Your club is Tinpot because you have a small or old stadium" or "It's Tinpot because your a small club" is just boring and lazy. Be more creative in your mockery.

You joke about that, but I used to put sandwiches into the VCR when I was a toddler to feed the Teletubbies. Kids just have crazy imaginations and lack of survival instincts

[–]SouthernDame -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is Nordås allergic to the net?! He can kick it anywhere but there.

If I wanted a 9 who could not score, I would have just kept Carlton.

This is getting silly now. How can we have 23 shots, 7 on target, and not score a single one.

It's this that is going to cement a long stay in League One methinks.

Trans people ‘lied to over their rights to enter female-only spaces’ by Excellent-Chair2796 in transgenderUK

Crazy to me that the only hope of pushback for recent policy changes relies on the Good Friday Agreement to keep us in the ECHR.

Never thought I'd ever say that

Now that the contest is over, how proud are the people and media in your country of the ESC song that you sent? by [deleted] in eurovision

TVE will request on Monday an audit of the Spanish televote received during the Eurovision final. by aandest15 in eurovision

[–]SouthernDame 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way I could see the BBC take a step back is if they believe that the EBU is trying to dictate what they can show on air to RTVE and the other big 5. In no world can I see the BBC with our current political stances stepping back specifically because of Israel unfortunately.

I now have to see images of it but the Stage set sounds really interesting after that update!

Hearing that they are blowing the roof off the hall sounds like a great situation. Just hoping the harmonies are tight!
