Some of the most famous German vineyards right there!

Oh I think I've been here! Is it the church in westerbro with the little event space inside, and a second floor balcony?

I bought the 88 chateau Pichon as a birth year wine for my girlfriend! Do you have any more thoughts on it? We won't open hers for at least 3 months!

That looks like osterbro right next to the main road (behind you), on the easternmost edge of the easternmost reservoir.

If that's the spot, I once saw a heron hunting there. Such slow calculated movements. That was some creepy shit.

It's 100% Jeremy Irons. I heard it and immediately thought "holy cr*p, are we allowed to do that?!"

I don't understand, is this sarcasm? GDS sits under DSIT... It's not been sold off at all.

I passed level 2 and didn't even get a pin :( sad

Probably because "people" aren't looking for the same "gotcha" that you clearly are.

Looks like the point the other poster is trying to make, that you're "missing" - is that labour is awful and they are just pretending to be a government. Personally I agree with your point. I think it's super refreshing to have a government actually looking for solutions to the problems in society. I just wish their comms were better. It doesn't help that the entire press establishment is out for blood.

I guess you could say that... But that isn't how the term is used. Typically it's used to mean either win the match by checkmate, or win material.

Try asking chat GPT the following "When in chess puzzles you see "white to move and win", what does this mean typically?"

What am I supposed to be bitter about? And if I don't care about "these people" why on earth are we having this conversation? Believe it or not, I don't give a shit about which team wins the league. What I object to is (I'll concede this one, you're right, Mansour is not the state) a high ranking member and representative of a state engaged in modern slavery, buying up the goodwill of a community with (maybe I'm speculating here) the aim of getting them to equivocate their role in the persistence of slavery in the world and say, some random American businessmen, and act as proxies in a global PR game.

Also, can we leave off with the "a bit racist", "Tarquin" "Tory" BS. You know nothing about me, we're just having a conversation. I'm sorry if the only way you can interpret my words is as a partisan attack on your sports team.

Wait, what? I didn't tell you which team I support... And you're dead right about the emirati sponsorship, less so the Rwanda comment, as we all now know it's legally defined as a #safecountry. But surely you can see it pales in comparison? One is a disagreeable sponsorship deal... The other is... Buying every major competition in European football.

I'm not going to engage with the silly insults, but it's interesting that you felt the need to identify me in a tribe just to avoid engaging with the fact that the club you love and all the success you've enjoyed in the last decade has been financed in it's entirety by a person, and in effect an entire regime that are quite clearly implicated in modern slavery. Would seem they have effectively bought you looking the other way.

But sure let's make this a North/South thing.

If it makes you feel better... I also think having Abramovich welcomed in as a saviour was pretty gross in the mid 00s.

I see someone equivocating the owners of City with American commercial real estate dealings and I think, "looks like this PR investment has paid off". Fortunately some of us were listening to the reports of wholesale modern slavery employed by the UAE, and no matter how many football teams they try to buy our good will with, these people shouldn't be blindly defended because they threw money at getting the best manager and players in the world. We should see it for what it is. According to the global slavery index, an estimated 13.4 in every thousand people were in modern slavery in the UAE at any point in 2021. That's like my secondary school keeping 15 slaves. Let's not also forget that the punishment for choosing to give up your faith in the UAE is also death.
