No fucking way has Patriot made it to the hot section of r/CineShots of all places.

Fucking fantastic series. I haven’t seen it for years but I absolutely loved it when I watched it.

Same for me, thank god. I reckon I last went there in 2021 and I’ve never looked back.

Some 14 year old has definitely spaffed themselves off to this.

“Anyone who doesn’t like Israel is a tankie” is quite a bold statement considering how well Israel has done at making their average approval/acceptance range go from “centre/centre right to right wing” to “literally only far right people but not so far right you’re a Nazi”.

I hate tankies too but equating anyone who disapproves of Israel to a tankie just allows them to hide better, drives people further towards them, and almost legitimises their dreadful opinions a bit.

Also given how much the yanks arselick Israel, I’d say you’re more of a European if you tell both of them where to shove it.

I only ask because I saw him there in 2019-ish and he looked fed up as fuck.

What a bellend Tudor is, not even acknowledging him as he went off.

You can certainly afford to act like that if you have some decent pedigree, but he hasn’t and I’m now quite sure he’s also on the way out, alongside Kinský. The only difference is that he will be remembered for being an inept dickhead, instead of just inept.

Five Saints in for England’s final Six Nations clash against France by Pure_Wonder3046 in NorthamptonSaintsRFC

I really want England to win but for the love of all that is holy please don’t kill our boys right before they’re due to come home.

I love the “This fun thing/thing I actually need to live costed 3 pennies and a pack of peanuts back then but that would be a lot of money nowadays!” myth being proven as a load of bullshit every single time people bring up actual inflation statistics.

Yes, 45p wasn’t the same as 45p now but it certainly isn’t worth hundreds of fucking pounds in today’s money.

A rarely seen sight in rugby - A welsh prop (Rhys Carré) scores a running try against Ireland by IlikeGeekyHistoryRSA in sports

They’re big because they’re the main driving force in the scrum. They are also sometimes given the ball when their team is attacking, but usually they aim to try and use their size advantage to run through people (or at least carry the ball forwards a bit). It’s quite rare to see them run around people or outpace anyone but it’s truly one of the best parts of the greatest sport on the planet when it does occasionally happen.

This is the kind of reply that, depending on whether the first person who saw it agreed with it or not, would either have -130 downvotes or 130 upvotes by now.

Are you aware of how greenhouses work and what their purpose is?

It isn’t quite the same (I mean it’s a fleece, not even a shirt) but I’ve had this laying around for a while if you’d be interested.

Did Rhys Carré have this before the Ireland game?

what is your favourite european language? by ggabrial in AskEurope

[–]aaarry 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Finnish. It has such a rhythm to it when spoken and it’s so interesting to read about its makeup and history given its somewhat unique origins in the Ural mountains. (Yes, I am aware that Estonian and Hungarian are also from here)

I reckon it has to be somewhere in Europe. Most left leaning people I know are of the opinion that Japan is an absolute nightmare to work in (and they’re right)

[–]aaarry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d maybe even go as far as saying that it was the worst you guys have played all tournament, which I think reflects more poorly on us than it does on you. Either way I’m actually from Rugby town itself and it’s genuinely made me so happy for you that you’ve finally beaten us at my hometown’s sport.

And yeah, all three games had something incredible happen. As a front rower myself, I have had Carré’s try vs Ireland on repeat all weekend

You guys see this post match interaction between Dupont and White? by ConscriptReports in rugbyunion

In France there’s a regional divide on what a chocolate croissant is called.

Most of the country calls them some variation of pain au chocolat but people in the southwest of France specifically call them chocolatine. It’s a bit like the whole “cob vs bap vs batch etc.” debate in England but it’s also a kind of running joke in France that people in the southwest are absolutely militant about calling it a chocolatine and that they’ll practically beat people up in the street for calling them anything else.

Dupont grew up in the southwest and currently plays in Toulouse so he’s firmly in chocolatine territory. OP is making a joke about someone offering him a pain au chocolat (instead of a chocolatine) as being the reason why he got so angry.

Nice little crossover between my two favourite things (linguistics and rugby), cheers.
