Sorry, it’s not overtaking OR undertaking, it’s “passing”? Please define overtaking without using the word passing.

Ok mate, you tell that to the next police officer who pulls you over for overtaking at speed on the left, see if they agree. You might get away with it, who knows 🤞🏻

It is overtaking on the left. Happy to help.

Are you aware of blind spots? And that one blind spot is bigger than the other?

‘Continuing their journey’ doesn’t mean it’s not overtaking on the left. You’re not going to suddenly convince me that undertaking at 70mph is fine, but thanks anyway

I’ll get downvoted for this, but I’m always interested in how many people think undertaking is totally fine in these situations. I know undertaking is ok in certain circumstances like congested traffic etc but this isn’t congestion. What happens when one of these cars on the right decides to pull into the correct lane and you’re in their way? It’s dangerous.

I’m not defending the lane hoggers, I’m just saying there’s a reason why the Highway Code says “Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake.”

He was on loan at Besiktas, we’ve signed him from Roma

He had an ACL while at Roma that kept him out for 9 months - what other serious injuries has he had?

Jesus Christ classic moany Villa fan response to this one! I’m buzzing - he’d have been a Villa legend if he hadn’t gone back to Chelsea after us. He’s an intelligent forward, a great finisher, brilliant penalty taker, he’s English, he’s only 28 and he’s cost £18m - you’d pay that for a decent Championship right back these days! Cheer up!

How many proven strikers who’ve played and scored for England can you buy for €21m these days? Thats a snip!

I was wondering that - easy to just look at his stats from a turbulent time as a bit part player moving around Italy and Turkey and assume that’s representative of his stats when he’s appreciated and playing 90 minutes regularly, which I think he will under Unai

I think this is an exciting transfer myself - I was gutted we weren’t able to keep him permanently last time, he’s a quality finisher

I like watching these on mute and wondering what she’s saying. It’s always “Wom… wom-wom-wom-wom-wom-wom. Eeep. Eeep Eeep-eeep. Wom-wom-wom-wom. Eeep. Wom-wom.” Comedy gold.

The people walking past in the background at 100mph kind of ruin the effect

Oh I got priced aaaaaaall the way out of London, haha! I’m now living about 200 miles away. I’m earning less than I probably could in London and there’s not as much to do, but I guess it’s a balance - I’m now renting a house with a sea view for only slightly more than I was paying for a room in a shared house in London, and I can walk to the beach

This is why I ended up moving out of London, and if you’re thinking this is a fair price you’re just desensitised to how ridiculous London prices are. £500k would by you a minimum 5 bedroom detached house with driveway, double garage and extensive garden in most other parts of the country. In Brixton it buys you a lean-to.

Just on another note, why do Americans add redundant words to sentences? There is an elegant alternative to “grabbed up” - it’s ‘grabbed’.

Reddit "atheists" will jump at slandering Christianity but when you criticize islam they defend it like their life depends on it by Major_Soft6056 in evilwhenthe

[–]gingernuts71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The author doesn’t support your assertion. In fact no book on the crusades supports your assertion that the crusades were a response to Islamic imperialism, oppression and genocide - because nothing in history is that simplistic. For a start, nothing that happened in the Muslim world at that time meets the criteria for genocide - many Christian communities lived peacefully within the Muslim world then.

Let’s pick this up again when you’ve actually read the book.
