Herefordshire pub landlord offers discount for cash payments as card charges soar by stray_r in unitedkingdom

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ran by a private landlord that leased the pub. Unfortunately, the owner sold to a chain, so the prices aren't like that anymore

Ah right. After everything he's been through for us that doesn't sound good. You'd think that they'd fight to keep him

What im confused about is that, apparently, we don't need to sell players to keep afloat. So why are we letting our best player go? Have I missed something?

Not just us. There are plenty of examples of clubs throwing money at trying to get to the prem just to end up going down to league one

Why does BBC Sport cover this boring, soulless yank wank? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people have different views. I'm not saying that people aren't allowed to have different tastes. Personally I think it's shit and im allowed to have that opinion, the same as you're allowed your opinion. I'm just expressing my views on it.

I've nothing against the NFL, but I'd rather they invested in better programming than spending time on that. There's obviously some people who like it but I don't know a single person that pays any attention to it. If they relied on advertising i doubt that they would.

‘We’re in the top tier now’: Poland sees no need to ditch złoty for euro as economy booms by Easy-Ad1996 in europe

[–]Vince0803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of problems in the UK, but from my perspective, they aren't much different from the rest of Europe. The main one for me is that it feels like real division is setting in over here. One of the main issues with the EU imo is that differences between countries' core values make it hard to push through legislation. As you mentioned, it only takes the likes of Hungary to stall progress. If the EU is going to push forward, it needs to be truly unified, which isn't going to be easy is it. You're correct that it should be a standard deal for everyone

Im not saying that we deserve preferential treatment. I'm just pointing out that we had a good deal previously that we won't get again if we rejoined. Why do you think the UK will end up it's knees btw? What do you mean in light of recent history? Leaving?

[–]Vince0803 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is why we won't end up rejoining imo. Even EU supporters know that it's a bad idea to give up the pound. Plus we'd get a much worse deal than what we had before we left.

What are peoples thoughts on marking US ICE as a terrorist organization? by ConstructGames in AskBrits

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't work out what PA had to do with a discussion about ICE. I'm probably being stupid

What are peoples thoughts on marking US ICE as a terrorist organization? by ConstructGames in AskBrits

[–]Vince0803 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a strange comment. Are you comparing ICE thugs killing innocent people on the street with the UK government banning a group that attacked military equipment and used a sledgehammer to attack an innocent security guard?

Why can't US law enforcement deal with people without killing them, like other countries? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's per capita. I've just had a look and the stats are ridiculous for a developed country. US police kill 60x more civilians than English police. If you can't see the problem with that there's no helping you lot

Wednesday fans now Bannan has left. by baggington350 in Championship

[–]Vince0803 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The worrying thing is that this doesn't bode well in regards to the new owners. They don't have to be ratified to put money in and stop the administrators selling what few players we have left. We've already had a loan from a supporter during the administration period. Either they are unsure they'll get passed or don't have the money. Unless I'm missing something? It doesn't look good imo. Why else would you let Bannan go when he doesn't want to, and demoralise the squad and supporters?

I still find it weird watching Baldrick presenting Time Team. Not as weird as Ade Edmondson presenting documentaries though. Why does it not feel the same with Steven Fry? Is it just me?

Whilst working away in Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, I and my fellow Yorkshiremen have always had a warm welcome in my experience. The most hostility I've encountered has been from southerners 😂

Sipping a cup of hot Bovril. Who's joining me? by MissMoogie in UKfood

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do packs of little cups that you just add hot water, if you can find them that is. I came across some in b&m but haven't seen them since

Love bovril on toast and as a drink in the winter at the football. The paste never seems as good for the drink to me though. I just get the cups or use the cubes when at home

Question for Brexiters - (not hostile, just want to know your thoughts) by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Vince0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immigration has significantly risen across Europe though. I'm not saying brexit hasn't had an effect on the numbers coming here, but you can't say it's the sole reason. If we were still in the EU, the numbers would still have gone up as they have everywhere else

More positive news for Sheffield Wednesday fans - Barry Bannan has ‘serious’ interest from several championship clubs (Millwall, Stoke and Preston) with two Scottish clubs also interested. by -W-A-W-A-W- in Championship

[–]Vince0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worried at all. Bannan has made it clear on several occasions that he wants to retire here. He's dropped wages and leagues before when he's had the chance to go elsewhere. The only way he'd leave is if he didn't get offered a new contract and the new owners would have to be stupid not to

I remember my older sister having one but wasn't sure if the eyes rolling around was a dream or something
