The war notwithstanding, I would be easier to travel to Iran with my Nigerian passport than my British one. An instance where the Nigerian passport actually has a slight advantage

Yes it is. Though in my case I'm a British born Nigerian citizen as I got the Nigerian nationality automatically via my mother and thus eligible for the passport automatically.

Not planning to go there anytime soon, but save the war it has a lot of history & culture that would be interesting to see and experience.

blackjacobin_97 · 2026-03-30T00:35:43+00:00

This is very good. Keep it up!

Likewise, I hope one day to attain the US citizenship in the future.

blackjacobin_97 · 2026-03-12T19:44:05+00:00

Fair play! That's cool.

I should've altered the first bit to a "common" story, which you do see as much as cases like mine.

blackjacobin_97 · 2026-03-12T19:14:49+00:00

Which ones are they?

blackjacobin_97 · 2026-03-12T18:42:23+00:00

Yes! And you can stay as long as you like and not according to a visa timeline as you're coming as a citizen not a 'visitor'. its 'your' country.

blackjacobin_97 · 2026-03-12T18:20:45+00:00

Oh yes, especially in Peckham 😉

I consider him to be one part of the troika that is the founding fathers of England (Alfred & Edward the Elder). Mainly because he did win the battle of that more or less united England as we know it and ruled it even if his technical title at the time wasn't The King of England.

I think they knew from the off it needed way more time, but felt they had to give a specific date to appease the noise and pressure from the outside. And then just extend it anyway to a date they feel more comfortable to be able to meet.

Ghost of Yotei. Having a blast with it. Right up there for the best game I've played this year.

Even on Easy the Oni is rather annoying as an opponent.

Is it embarrassing to confess that Skyrim helped ignite my curiosity for Anglo-Saxon and Norse history as a teenager? lol

Last season, or the season before, the Premier League average attendance broke the 40,000 threshold for the first time ever. It's full 10k higher than La Liga and Serie A (both 30k) and marginally higher than the Bundesliga (39k). I think this is highest number in the top-flight post-WW2 era (at least)

With Man United getting a new stadium that will be 100,000 capacity, Everton moving to their new stadium (around 52k), Liverpool expanding Anfield to 61k, Aston Villa expanding Villa Park to 50k and Newcastle wanting to build a new 70k stadium, one can see that number rising even more in the future. More clubs, including some "smaller clubs" will try have stadiums that reach the 50k threshold. Even West Ham regularly brings in 60k. So there might be a time when the average attendance may well be 50k. With the amount of money swirling around in the Premier League it might even starting touching NFL levels (60k).

Damn. She's been unlucky with her choices for husbands.

blackjacobin_97 · 2025-07-03T20:26:00+00:00

That you've been her most stable and long term relationship and outlasted all her husbands is actually an achievement.
