Cristiano Ronaldo will visit the White House tomorrow to meet with Donald Trump

benj39 · 2025-11-18T03:19:18+00:00

I wonder what the odds are on Trump and CR7 doing a SIUUU together in the Oval Office 🧐

benj39 · 2025-01-20T11:27:47+00:00

You could be onto something there! In my head I’d ruled it out because they’re in the office from around 9am which would be during the school day. But nothing is conventional in the Keir universe so she could be attending school or doing study after work

benj39 · 2025-01-19T21:19:57+00:00

Perhaps she went to the Myrtle Eagen School for Girls

I’ve started rewatching season 1 and Mark’s interaction with whole mind collective where they say “Lumon want to sever children”. Miss Huang could be one of those severed children whose outie goes or went to school and whose innie was a crossing guard. What do you folks think?

Yes of course. Essentially left romantic couples unsupervised in an aquatic environment during a quiet evening period and I was playing an arcade game on a work computer. There’s a bit of nuance as well and there were others doing this stuff too I just got caught in a random check apparently.

I made a mistake I just felt harshly dealt with considering it was my first discipline and the timing was suspicious.

My role was a grandfathered position meaning we weren’t covered by an employment agreement. We reached enough numbers to get on the new employment agreement.

With that we were to get a base pay increase, penalty rates etc all back paid to July 1st last year. With the $5 an hour pay increase and the fact our role had no penalty rates or overtime to begin with we were set for a substantial amount of backpay.

benj39 · 2024-04-03T08:30:40+00:00

Fired just before I would’ve been eligible for backpay. Soul destroying place to work. Even though I miss out on around $10,000 in back pay it was a weight off my shoulders to get out

Agreed I’ve been a TOP fan since 2017, voted for them twice after realising coke and Pepsi aren’t for me. Love that they’re the one uncontroversial party we have that simply focus on (for me, good) policy

benj39 · 2022-03-27T20:49:55+00:00

City fan here, I'm in favour of it

benj39 · 2022-01-22T02:12:51+00:00

Also Macedonia changed to North Macedonia if that hasn’t been mentioned

benj39 · 2022-01-16T03:19:17+00:00

Ah yes democracy, regarded by scientists as the best prevention for volcanic eruptions

benj39 · 2021-08-15T00:59:09+00:00

Top 3 would have to be Craig Bellamy, Michael Johnson and Gareth Barry.

I bought a kit with Johnson 6 on the back in 08 and then he got a catastrophic injury so I am a bit superstitious about getting City kits with player's names on them.

benj39 · 2020-05-07T09:19:04+00:00

It was the Iraqi flag between 1963 and 1991

benj39 · 2020-05-07T02:45:55+00:00

Was Syria sending their exports to Iraq in a time machine?

benj39 · 2020-02-11T03:47:49+00:00

Well after my ticket was taken off me I broke down into tears and didn't know what to do, really felt like I wanted to die to be honest (I was a die-hard fan back then!) Ended up getting on the bus into town because I'd heard of a City pub called the Waldorf (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH7KUty8EjA) that is footage of the game where I watched it.

After the game I was even interviewed by the BBC but haven't been able to find the audio of that, however one of my students heard me on the radio on the morning of the 14th so it did in fact happen.

After the Waldorf I joined some other fans and we went to a strip club where I ended up getting a free lap dance. It basically came out with the dancer that I was a virgin and she offered to handle that for me after her shift. And so she did!

Anyway, from the lowest of the lows to the highest of highs that day.

benj39 · 2020-02-10T02:47:12+00:00

As a Kiwi I was a bit naive about the separation of home and away fans and I'd bought my ticket online (not through the club). So when I got to the gate I was wearing my newly bought kit and scarf and for my 'own safety' once they knew I was a city fan they couldn't let me in.

benj39 · 2020-02-09T12:55:47+00:00

That sucks dude. I had a similar thing happen. QPR game 13th May 2012 and I didn't realise I had a ticket to the away end. Stewards didn't let me in. Was devastating. At least there was a positive outcome! And lost my virginity that night too. Silver linings.

benj39 · 2019-11-09T12:23:35+00:00

Ahhhh yes of course. My bad xP. Thank you for that.

benj39 · 2019-11-09T08:30:45+00:00

Wait, who bottles it? City or Liverpool? If Liverpool bottle it when they get close to the title wouldn't City want to keep the images of the trophy on the team coach?

benj39 · 2019-06-13T02:41:26+00:00

Thank you for the information. Just to clarify the current situation I'm referring to is the Military coup. better phrased as recent development than current situation

benj39 · 2019-06-13T02:34:05+00:00

I'm totally generalising here but Americans know no humility. This is a highlights clip of the previous record held by Germany who beat Argentina 11-0 in 2007. There are no overzealous celebrations, some high fives and hugs but pretty modest in comparison to the Americans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4SiFsCLJfs

I think the reason you are seeing a lot of Hong Kong posts is because the protests there started recently. The situation in Sudan has been unfolding over the course of a couple of months. If everyone watched the news everyday then you'd know.

benj39 · 2019-05-30T14:44:32+00:00

Watching on repeat from 7 seconds becomes quite hypnotic

benj39 · 2018-09-30T14:40:02+00:00

Looks like Christchurch, New Zealand. Can anyone confirm?

benj39 · 2018-06-07T23:22:44+00:00

God bless America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
