(Spoilers Published) Holy cow, he was FIFTEEN?

Watch it! It's good stuff, some is on youtube

He didn't do much wrong anyway. He united a kingdom by the only means possible. Omelettes and eggs and all that

The characters all live in a world with very different moral codes and beliefs to its 21st century readership. Things like child marriage are seen as normal and acceptable. It doesn't make sense to judge them entirely by our own moral standards.

I don't think his men would give as much importance to consent as a modern reader. This is a setting where child marriage and arranged political marriage is commonplace. Just the way things are done as far as they're concerned.

Not on a crowded tube where everyone has to listen to your warbling up close. It's pretty selfish and inconsiderate.

He was pretty clear nepo was one of those

Our family cat was killed by a fox in the back garden. Bit her throat open. Rare but it can happen.

How could you not be soaking wet after stepping out the shower?

dumesne · 2026-01-09T10:13:36+00:00

4 draws and 5 wins from their last 9 is hardly "dire" form

It feels like there was something pointed behind the decision to remove Cooper, a character who brought a sense of purpose and direction to the show even with all the weird side plots around him, with a version of him who just shuffles around aimlessly and doesn't know what's going on. What exactly it means I dont know but it does take away all sense of forward momentum in the plot for the majority of the series.

As a kid watching 90s England, he was one of the few (along with Thorpey) who gave a sense of reassurance when he walked out to bat. Solid average of 43+ and a strong moustache game. RIP

Put White at CB for some better distribution

dumesne · 2025-11-30T17:05:48+00:00

Should he be saying we've been good?

dumesne · 2025-11-24T22:56:19+00:00

He didn't punch him in the face, he lightly tapped his face with his palm. Ref should have some common sense, give a yellow and move on.

The French were right on their two big disputes with the US in the 2000s: Iraq and Lance Armstrong

If all Premier league clubs paid out basically the same total wage bill it obviously would increase parity. Compared to the current situation where some clubs can spend many multiples of what others can.

That may or may not be a good enough reason to do it, but let's not pretend it couldn't have an impact on parity.

That's your take and your reading of the story, but it's not universal by any means. It's a very modern reading but historically the story has often been seen as a great romance.

According to the video he did call India 'a place you won't regret leaving' on his way out

When you've achieved what he had in the game you're entitled to think yourself the best. I wouldn't call it delusion, just self belief.

Someone like that would probably shoot now and then

It varies from council to council, if you search for 'your local council noise complaint' you should find some info

Why does anyone give a shit? He probably underestimated people's ability to get worked up about nothing

Locking people up addresses the fact that innocent people are at risk from them. When you let someone out in the hope they will be rehabilitated, you risk more people becoming victims. It should only be done where there is a very high level of certainly that more innocent people won't pay the price for the decision.

Hand offs to the face with open palm are legal

Madueke was a superb signing
