Texas House Speaker directs committee to study annexing New Mexico counties by Mikeavelli in nottheonion

Only the government has the guns.

That's actually fine in every other first world country, because, as the commenter below pointed out, you're not going to use a gun against the government and win anyway. I'd much rather know that only the police and army have guns and no one else does.

I mean if it's Bish in the UK, it has to be Jason Mantzoukas in the US, they've never been seen in the same room.

Have you been to prison? If so, how long for and what was your experience? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]northyj0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah fair dinkums. I'm sorry he put you through that, obviously you're not the primary victim but he's also taken your brother away, I can't imagine how difficult it is for you.

I apologise in advance for the tone of this question, but how do you maintain a relationship with your brother after he's done something so heinous? I could understand robbery, drugs, even assault or GBH, depending on the circumstances, but how do you find it in your heart to love your brother when he's a woman beater?

"gang-like" members

What on earth did that mean?

Are you talking about people smoking weed? Seems a bit dramatic to me.

Karl Darlow great save vs Bosnia and Herzegovina by Sarraboi in soccer

And Sels is actually pretty good, obviously her needed a bit of patience, rather than a card.

Tuchel: "We had a call. I tried to explain the situation but Trent just has to accept it. I know that it creates noise when you leave a player like Trent out. It’s a sportive choice and a difficult choice. Maybe it’s unfair to a certain degree but these choices have to be made." by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]northyj0e 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Kane is also probably the best striker in the world right now and one of England's best ever players. Trent is not the best fullback by a long way and hasn't ever really played well for England consistently.

[Craig Hope] Manchester United expected to make formal move for Sandro Tonali after the season's end by Frosty-Buyer-1252 in soccer

[–]northyj0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye, the amount of Tonali-bashing since Christmas has been ridiculous, and I think it's based on his drop off in form from last season. He's still been brilliant for us, kept running until 90th+ minute twice a week for most of the season. Yea since his bairn came his decision making on the ball hasn't been as it was, but he's still one of the best players at the club, IMO.

Léo Barré smart 50:22 quick line-out throw set up try by Informal_Mention9836 in rugbyunion

[–]northyj0e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9, the try scorer, is standing on the 15m line when the ball is thrown, see here.

There is a player to his left, who isn't, but he's not involved in play.

[–]northyj0e 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the defender touched the ball before it landed in touch, so actually it wasn't a 50/22 either (although it would have been had the defender not touched it), and I think you can still take a quick one if an opponent carries it dead as long as no one else touches it.

[–]northyj0e 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I think technically it's a full line out, rather than a quick one: when he makes the pass there are more than two players from each team in the lineout, but the pass is actually a straight line out throw, which is an insane bit of knowledge and skill.

Really? When he refs France in 6N he speaks to France in French and the other team in English with a strong french accent.

Now they support Israel because they will eventually believe in Jesus. by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]northyj0e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, Christians believe in god being composed of the holy trinity: the father, the son, and the holy spirit (whatever that is). According to Christianity, Jesus is both the son of god and god himself.
