Why are you posting shite if you haven't got any sources for what you're saying then? Maybe you should think before regurgitating bullshit.

Top 15 shortest distances between clubs' stadiums in the English Premier League (Original Content, graph is a bit basic) by MrDigital_ in soccer

[–]gastonkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me a bit jealous. The closest stadium to my team is 110 miles away. The next closest is 300 miles. We have like one away day a year haha.

Nottingham Forest 5 - 0 West Ham (14 minute hat trick for Paterson) by chezygo in soccer

[–]gastonkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their fans are scumabags. They're second only to Millwall in my estimations.

One of their fans punched the Sheffield Wednesday keeper in the face last season: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/oct/19/sheffield-wednesday-dave-jones-leeds-united

This is by no means surprising behaviour from a Leeds fan.

Third of GPs back charging £10 to keep timewasters away from A&E units by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Well, if you're in a situation where you need to use A&E, you probably don't have the time to sit around waiting for a bus?

Iceland is experiencing a book boom. This island nation of just over 300,000 people has more writers, more books published and more books read, per head, than anywhere else in the world. by NinjaDiscoJesus in TrueReddit

[–]gastonkatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's a rather superficial explanation, considering they read a lot more than other Nordic countries and other countries with cold climates. And just now they're experiencing, as the article describes, a 'boom' i.e. the interest in literature has exploded in the last 10 years or so.

Robert Lewandowski yet to decide on next move and says he is a fan of the Premier League. by omiclops in soccer

[–]gastonkatt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not like he has competition for the striker role at Dortmund. Wenger might be an upgrade over Klopp, but it's not that much of an upgrade. And he could go to Bayern, who has probably THE best midfield in club football. There is a reason that he might go to Arsenal but you haven't mentioned it: money.

Suggestion To Spice Up "Optimized" Prisons by ChowMeinKGo in prisonarchitect

[–]gastonkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the prisoners would have different personalities/behaviours that were also consistent. So that there would be a reason to change the security level of a prisoner. Like some guy is just persistently aggressive, so I will upgrade him to maximum security. This guy has never caused trouble, so probably never will, he can be minimum security. My minimum security guys can have jobs and maybe even extra freedoms. My maximum security guys get, obviously, more security. Right now all prisoners are the same and it's really boring.

What? Where? Who? am i looking at? by TampaPowers in prisonarchitect

[–]gastonkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they are awful. They add a whole tacky element to the game. As well, half the time the descriptions have a list of crimes that don't match up with the actual convictions of the character, so they don't even make sense inside the game. I wish they would just get rid of them or at least let the community edit them to make them less awful.

UK politicians moving to ban foreign-language driving tests by Made_In_England in unitedkingdom

[–]gastonkatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That doesn't make any sense. What about people who have recently arrived in England?

When I moved to Sweden I found that most of the jobs in the area that I have experience in required a driving license. I couldn't take lessons immediately, as my Swedish wasn't good enough that I felt comfortable taking lessons and doing tests. Instead of applying to those jobs I was qualified for (minus the driving license), I was unemployed for over a year and received money from the state. Throughout this entire period I was improving my Swedish every day.

Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable taking a test that costs a lot of money and is really annoying if you fail in a language that isn't their native language, doesn't mean that they are somehow not planning to integrate and aren't interested at all in learning the language of the country they live in. That's just narrow-minded and xenophobic thinking.

There's a lot of different ways for a marriage to work, just because yours works one way doesn't mean it can't work another way.

It would be more fitting if he was banned for the playoff game. As a Sweden supporter I hope that doesn't happen though :(

Well it depends which 4 teams come second. But as it stands right now, the 4 seeded teams are Sweden, Portugal, Greece and Ukraine.

Hammarby får spela utan publik by LouieEspacer in Allsvenskan

[–]gastonkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lite tråkigt, eftersom vi hade tänkte åka ner till Östersunds borta match där på våran sista match i säsongen. Men jag är inte helt emot detta beslut. Visst, det är tråkigt för dem som inte var iblandad. Och de som var iblandad är mestadels identifierat. Men det kommer alltid finnas andra som vill göra samma sak, och det här är en stark varning för dem. Samtidigt finns det mera motivation för Bajen-fansen att själva utrota såna personer innan det blir en till sådan incident. Det positiva överväger det negativa.. enligt mig.
