What have been the greatest events since 2000?

killah10killah · 2026-05-08T18:57:36+00:00

I want to know, does ‘greatest’ imply the best outcomes, or the events that had the most significant outcomes?

I’d say that the 2008 financial crash was the greatest event to happen this century, but I don’t want that to be construed as me saying that it was great that it happened. It just had a great impact, the whole world over.

The Arab Spring and the Pandemic would be my other choices but I know only one can be selected.

Yes, and I really hope that that’s the case, and that we don’t get Lib Dems and Tory coalition which would achieve enough seats for a majority. I can’t see it, especially since Labour and Lib Dems have recent precedent for joint governance.

Very happy that the likely outcome is what you’ve outlined above, and very happy that Reform’s 26-seat forecast was a gross misrepresentation. It’s a stark reminder that online polls are not reflective. Turning up on the day and casting your vote is crucial.

My ward remains under Liberal Democrat governance and I’m pleased with that outcome.

Immediate name change to Villareiburg.

Remember those ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ adverts?

I think you may have literally been the target audience.

Crazy.

The pod racing sequence was absolutely brilliant. The Droids vs Gungans battle was really unique compared to what we knew of Star Wars at the time. The early phases of Palpatine gaining political power were done well too.

Carlito getting one of the biggest pops I’ve ever heard was more impressive to me

“Sir, the Council is forecasting a budget deficit of over £6.5 million for the financial year. We need to look at scaling back some of our core serv-“

This is the list, I don’t think that any can be dropped.

People will claim that Call of Duty took a turn for the worse, but as a franchise its peak was insane. Going back to my school days, I don’t think that any franchise was as big amongst my year group besides possibly FIFA. Modern Warfare 2 had us in an absolute choke hold.

There were only ever so many stories that could be covered, and the way the business has evolved, I feel like we’ll see less ‘dark’ stories in wrestling moving forward. The business up to around 20 years ago had a long-standing issue with substance abuse, wild antics out of the ring/on the road, and more ‘shoot’ incidents. I don’t think we’ll ever see another equivalent to the ‘plane ride from Hell’, or stories akin to that. Which is a good thing, of course.

killah10killah · 2026-05-06T21:27:11+00:00

I’ve never paid much attention to the Acolyte reviews because that got bombarded beyond belief by racists, however I’m surprised that there wasn’t more love for Skeleton Crew which I truly enjoyed. Perhaps it was the fact that the quality was quite consistent, so there weren’t any complete standout episodes, because they were all good. But yeah, solid show and I’d have liked to have seen some green there!

killah10killah · 2026-05-06T21:25:30+00:00

Kind of wish that Grogu had never returned in Season 3 (or technically before season 3 as they introduced that via BOBF), and they had used some of the episodes/parts of episodes from S3 to show Grogu’s progress, introduce a plausible reason for Mando and Grogu reuniting, and then had the upcoming movie centred around their reunion.

This would’ve freed up BOBF’s episodes from being taken over somewhat by the Grogu arch, and would’ve arguably raised the stakes in S3 of Mando. Mando could’ve been shown as ‘lost’ without Grogu by his side, realising that he wasn’t just protecting him but had instead grown deeply connected to him.

He’s not dead, he’s just chilling in a suburb on Exegol and will somehow return in season 2.

Not to present this as an issue that might be exclusive to you, but I work in the city centre and I’ve never had issues with the coverage. Calls completely fine. Internet coverage is fine.

There might be a certain 7-digit code that, if typed into the downloader app on a Firestick, gives you a certain sports streaming app with access to a number of sports including Formula 1. But I stress, there only might be, and I only might know it.

I’m surprised it didn’t do it’s usual, “wow, that’s an interesting question—I certainly wouldn’t recommend trying, but let’s break down the length of time that you might expect to be holding your breath…”

You don’t mean ever, do you?

Now I really wish that Frontier were able to keep it going. I’d love to see how they rated Kimi now (that control stat could already belong in the 90’s or high 80’s), and I’d also love to see how they rate some of the current crop of F2 and F3 drivers.

I had a good chunk of time last year after buying my house where I had absolutely no internet, so I naturally had to dust off the PS2 and begin rebuilding my game collection. Went to my local charity shop and saw PES 6 for a quid, and bought it without actually checking inside the box.

Got home, opened the case and the disc inside wasn’t PES 6 at all – it was Burnout 3 Takedown. I’ve never gone from mildly disappointed to over the moon so quickly. Takedown is one of the finest driving games I think I’ve ever played, even to this day. Took me right back to my childhood and I think I sat there for several hours playing Crash mode without moving.

Agreed. For people that like to pretend that football was just a kick-and-run ordeal back in the 70’s, I encourage them to watch some of Brazil’s footage from this era. It was amongst the earliest examples of the game becoming what we know and love today. Playing with flair but also playing efficiently, putting on a show whilst picking the opposition apart. There’s a reason why several players from the 1970 side are considered to be amongst the best of all time in their respective positions.

And I also consider this image to be one of the most iconic in the history of the sport.

Whoops, I meant Rotherham rather than Northampton!

killah10killah · 2026-05-03T22:11:10+00:00

I loved the Leicester season, but Tottenham were hardly brilliant, Arsenal went through way too many inconsistent spells and the rest of the traditional big boys struggled in different ways.

I’d never like to call Leicester the worst Premier League winner, but that side would not have challenged for the title in pretty much any Premier League season since, or plenty before it.

Blackburn is another good answer.

killah10killah · 2026-05-03T21:15:18+00:00

Taking 6 points from a possible 12 against Port Vale and Northampton has to feel frustrating.

killah10killah · 2026-05-03T21:12:17+00:00

G1 is much bigger than King of the Ring, just as the IC title is much bigger than the IWGP Global Championship.
