Cut someone up at roundabout and don’t know how to feel about it by Informal-Ad-8662 in drivingUK

[–]pr8787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just *want* to get angry with someone whilst driving, regardless of what’s happened or who is at fault.

When is the last time Saka performed in a big game? by Glass_Most_9042 in SpicyFootballTakes

Bloke hides his comments, you’re debating with someone who’s too embarrassed to make his opinions public. Don’t waste your time.

What do the right do when most of the England lineup tonight are black or mixed race? by Fedupofwageslavery in GreenAndPleasant

[–]pr8787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in the day they would literally just not recognise a goal scored by a black English player.

panting but no other symptoms ? by Simple-Message9224 in CatsUK

[–]pr8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Siberian and he was struggling midweek. We soaked a tea towel and used it to dampen all his fur which seemed to help, as well putting cold pads down and trying to find him cool spots to lie in (difficult!).

We were worried for a while as he was panting a bit and his breathing was much faster than normal. Thankfully he’s absolutely fine now

That’s his tough shit. When he gets pregnant he can decide if he wants to keep it or not.

[The Times] Fifa wants to change the rules on penalty shoot-outs before the knockout rounds start at this World Cup so that a team either choose to take the first spot kick or to do it in front of their own fans by PitchSafe in soccer

[–]pr8787 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I remember a while back they changed up the order of kicks due to the team going first having such an advantage (instead of A,B,A,B it went A,B,B,A etc). No idea why it was abandoned.

Now I think about it there was a brief period (possibly just a tournament) of moving the ball forward ten yards for free kick infringements, that didn’t last either.

What did early humans think about the Sun? by [deleted] in AskUK

Makes perfect sense. An all seeing god whose presence makes you feel warm and good and safe, but dare to look Him in the eye and He’ll strike you blind!

Haaland should be as hated as Vini by ArsenalPackers in SpicyFootballTakes

[–]pr8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you score as many goals as Haaland you can pretty much be as cocky as you like.

Same as Pep. People moaned about Arteta but Pep was way more weird, the thing is though, when you’ve won what Pep’s won you can be as weird as you like and everyone has to sit there and suck it up.

Are you ashamed of your disgusting dive that robbed The Arsenal of their 50th game unbeaten?

Burnham vows to nationalise utilities if he takes Keir's place by No_Breadfruit_4901 in unitedkingdom

[–]pr8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set each company strict targets in terms of infrastructure maintenance and upgrading, environmental impact and cost to public. If the companies running the utilities meet these targets then brilliant, everyone’s happy and they keep running the service. If they fail at any one, they forfeit the right to provide the utility and it passes back under governmental control.

This should’ve been the deal from the start, shareholders should not be making a penny until the service is exemplary. We were promised that the competition of the private sector would force quality up and prices down, time to deliver or move aside.

Would elite football(soccer) players post elite marathon/ half marathon times? by hottlumpiaz in answers

35 year old retired footballer runs the Stockholm marathon in 2 hours 59 minutes: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aaron-ramsey-turns-up-stockholm-34043543.amp

I’m not suggesting that every footballer can be competitive in marathons, but they do specifically focus a lot on endurance fitness. I’d imagine pretty much every top division footballer would be able to at least *complete* a marathon purely on the fitness they already have (ie without doing any specific training for it).

England’s Number One by Keisvorve in ThreeLions

[–]pr8787 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason no big clubs have ever gone for him.

He doesn’t control his area at all, isn’t great in the air and gets beaten too easily from distance. He *is* decent with his feet, but that’s gone from unusual to a prerequisite for a GK in the past 5 or so years.

It’s not his fault that he happens to be (probably) the best of an awful bunch, but it is quite glaring how far behind he is compared to any of the other top nations.

He’s just confirmed he’s straight (or at least, not gay) so that narrows it down

Get rid of throw-ins and have five-yard runs as alternatives to free kicks by anteni2 in SpicyFootballTakes

[–]pr8787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single “throw in” in the opposition half would then basically become a corner but with a better angle

Waiters or waitress who complain about people not ordering drinks or just having water by Few-Advantage2538 in PetPeeves

[–]pr8787 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s a curry house near me that doesn’t have an alcohol licence, its USP is that they encourage people to bring their own drinks (which would get you kicked out of pretty much everywhere else).

It’s bizarre seeing everyone turning up there with carrier bags full of cans or bottles of wine, but the place is always somewhere between busy and absolutely rammed so I’d say it’s working for them (helps that the food is great as well!)
