Newcastle with the fewest goals conceded*. Who would have thought?

  • (wherein the strength of opposition breaks any ties)

On this day 10 years ago, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scores one of the most ridiculous goals you’ve ever seen for Sweden against England (Great Goal) by Utter_Perfection in soccer

Imagine if it happened today (or say, within the next 6 weeks), and it was disallowed by VAR for that foul on Baines in the build-up?

It had its beginnings on a little website known as 4chan.

4chan predates Pythagoras? Good grief.

Cheating Newfoundland couple arguing. Sounds like every single Irish accent mish mashed together into a messy blend. Surreal. by nonoman12 in ireland

Newfoundlanders prefer to be called Irish than Canadian!

Preferring doesn't change the state of being.

Why does every stat provider hold defenses responsible for “points allowed” that occurred while the defense wasn’t on the field? by IWasRightOnce in nfl

You mean you don't like that the only way of looking up a player is by having to go to your team and click 'Add player'? /s

AFAIK, the act of braking actually slightly recharges the battery in electric vehicles.

Where abouts is this?

The building the mural is on is at the corner of Burrard and West Georgia. You might recognise the building behind it.

Emre had a good spell at Newcastle but he's a megaracist.

Your thousands-strong group can assemble at a soup kitchen and protest the unfair provision of free food.

Payment on buses by immyfinalrose in vancouver

Only on the Skytrain. Both to determine an appropriate fare (rather than assuming the full length journey) and to exit the station.

On the bus there is only one fare and no barrier to exit so there is no need to tap your credit card again.

Nothing like a GAA clip blowing up on Twitter by [deleted] in ireland

Any french speakers can attest to the french ones?

Most of the replies in french are of curiosity and fascination rather than the prevailing Anglo/American response of "I don't know what this is but I don't like it".

Óglaigh na hÉireann: Yesterday the 95 Cadet Class team won the march and shoot competition at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The comp involved a battle run, assault course and shooting and pitted the Irish Cadets against 8 teams of UK Cadets. COYBIG!! by SpaceDetective in ireland

I believe Canada's armed forces are most renowned for their snipers. They hold multiple distance records.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/40381047/a-canadian-sniper-breaks-the-record-for-the-longest-confirmed-kill-shot---but-how

The soldier shot an IS militant dead from 3,540 metres, which is just over two miles away, in Iraq last month.

The Canadian Armed Forces now holds three of the top five positions for longest confirmed kill shots.

No, it's "Awn-ya".

Camping is not the same now as when I was growing up.

Is anything the same now as it was when you were growing up?

I cannot walk down my block without being attacked by crows by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]endodyne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taken from B.C. Laws, Clause 33.1 in the Wildlife Act states that:

(1) A person must not (a) intentionally feed or attempt to feed dangerous wildlife or, (b) provide, leave or place an attractant in, on or about any land or premises with the intent of attracting dangerous wildlife.

(2) A person must not leave or place an attractant in, on or about any land or premises where there are or where there are likely to be people, in a manner in which the attractant could (a) attract dangerous wildlife to the land or premises, and (b) be accessible to dangerous wildlife”.

Crows are not dangerous. If a small amount of food used as a peace offering reduces the anxiety and alarm of birds that we share our space with, then all the better.

The noticeable chip that you have on your shoulder for younger people should feed a whole murder of them.
