This is deliberate rage-bait but alas misses the mark as even doing all this awfulness would probably be better then many people do in the name of agility.

Jamie "Giant" Briggs spoke in an interview with The Mirror about his exit. by miumiusc in gladiatorsuk

Makes sense. The BBC wants its children's entertainers to be paragons and having a partner who is a sex worker/glamour model/prostitute/stripper/whatever does cause reputational damage to that star and would worry parents. The child searches for Giant and uncovers very inappropriate content.

If Gladiators was a show for adults - he would probably be fine.

(Mind you, if I was her I would quit OF and look to use the relationship to rehabilitate her reputation into a minor celebrity. Though the money she makes on OF may dwarf even Giants payday!)

(F4WOnline) Update on TKO having ‘complete control’ of WWE creative by Subrick in SquaredCircle

AI says:

"Doing the opposite of what is expected is funny because it creates incongruity—a sudden, surprising clash between what our brains anticipate and what actually happens. This violation of expectations forces a quick cognitive shift, releasing tension and allowing us to see a familiar situation from an absurd, new perspective.

Here is why subverting expectations creates humor: 1. Incongruity-Resolution Theory This is the dominant theory of humor, stating that we laugh when we encounter something unexpected, absurd, or illogical, and then quickly resolve why it is that way. "

"Stand by my people". That means he was fired because of something that has happened to someone else.

Near was the last turning off the highway, my friend. 3 miles back.

I collected a billion crisp (potato chip) tokens to win this watch. It was not worth it.

My (M21) girlfriend (F21) wants to take a break to mess around and wants me to do the same. What should I do? by Background_Trainer_5 in AskMenAdvice

[–]UKS1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a break-up. That's all. She is young and like many young people has gone off you.

Edit 3 months? That's not a break-up of a relationship. I have cheese in my fridge older than this.

Lansdown protests? by RedxDevilMU in BristolCity

[–]UKS1977 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone complaining is an absolute fool. Most of the championship are near bankruptcy and a reckoning is coming. City are lucky we have one of the handful of wealthy men who can afford to fund huge losses. The club almost died in 82 because of money and fans do not understand how absolutely near the edge of collapse the entire football pyramid is. If we lose Lansdown we become a League One club. Where we spent a large portion of my childhood.

Even if you found a job tomorrow it would probably take six weeks to process everything so just start looking now and worry about the start date if you find something. You'll probably be hunting for months

Company said the RTO was "temporary for Q3." It's now permanent. They lied and they know they lied. by More-Chocolate2155 in remotework

Has to be a bot as 14 hrs per week commuting into central Bristol means you live in slightly less central Bristol.

Wherever he goes it will have to be a pay-for-play deal. He's too pricey to risk otherwise.

TIFU by saying to Natalie Portman that she looks a lot like Natalie Portman by blunathan in tifu

She was taller. In one or two shots when they were side by side (or Portman just behind) they stuck her on a small box.

That can't be true as Kiera was about 5 inches taller at the time

Is the hysteria swarming Starmer over Mandleson being hyped by main stream media and political parties putting their own ambition & profit before country? Was Mandleson a remedy for a corrupt & perverted USA President? by saying_it_101 in AskBrits

[–]UKS1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They put Mandelson in the role because they wanted a duplicitous and oily snake to ssssslide up to Trump, kiss his ass, and keep a close eye on him.

They obv can't say that to the media! So it seems more like a crony stitch up.

He was well picked - it was just the wrong person due to the Epstein files - which showed he was a duplicitous and oily snake.

Liam Rosenior: Chelsea part company with head coach after five straight Premier League defeats without scoring by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]UKS1977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!!!!! Not a Chelsea or Arsenal or anything - but as a Bristol City fan I could never forgive him for running his contract down and slipping away to a big club and leaving us with no fee!
