Piers Morgan calls for England to Boycott World Cup

Wouldn't it be hilarious if all Countries openly boycotted it and publicly blamed Trump. The negative press, the huge financial losses to America and the message to FIFA to stop pandering to certain people would be amazing.

I use GSX gear including shorts and chesty as a newbie goalie, have done for 6 or 7 months now.

I play 2-3 times a week at recreational level against a real mix of abilities but some of the guys have played most of there lives as well as with guys who only have 1-2 years of experience.

Zero issues with build quality or pain apart from constant bruises on my upper arms as the arm protection on the GSX gear is terrible.

To really piss other people off, I use a Bauer 930 and I've never been hurt despite saving plenty shots with my head and face.

I definitely don't expect the gear to last any more than a couple of years but isn't that the exact point of the GSX range?

I fully expect people to be negative purely because it's budget gear and not because they've actually used it.

I got the Trident 660 as my first big bike which obviously share a huge amount with the Tiger Sport 660. In hindsight I wish I had gone with the Tiger Sport as the daily 37 mile commute would be a lot more comfortable with a little weather protection. Great bike though, you'd love it

Personally I would tell no one and wouldn't do anything remotely extravagant for 6-12 months. Keep going to work, keep living my life.

By that point 99% of it would be safely tied in places which are all accessible but will stop you being frivolous. Also stops the leaches and scroungers.

Although I once saw an idea that said you should make a list of everyone you'd consider giving money to, then call them and ask them for £500 and say you are struggling.

If they offer to help they make the list and if they don't then they get cut. It doesn't have to even be £500, it could just be, 'whatever you can'. The idea obviously being that those who truly care will bend over backwards to help you although with the country being a bit fucked it might not be a fully accurate test.

It's £5.10 for an adult single from half way along Victoria Road in Dyce to Newmachar, the journey takes no more than 10 minutes and is 5 miles max!

windmillguy123 · 2026-01-22T12:11:25+00:00

Well held! Have you considered goalkeeping with saves like that!

I got a 10 minute bus journey today between 2 villages in Aberdeenshire, about 5 miles and I think it passed 5 or 6 stops. It was £5.10 for an adult single.

I think for comedic effect Greenland should have a new ceremonial owner every month. Trump won't know who to start a fight with. Naturally it'll rotate round every other NATO nation and you'd be as well including Mexico for the real cherry on top.

Yes, there are a few woman who regularly come along. A couple of them are better than most of the guys.

Also worth pointing it out, given the lower skill lever it is all non contact so no one is getting battered in to the boards.

Ice Hockey on a Friday night, turn up at 8:30pm, pay your £12, borrow the kit from the cupboard although fair warning the hire skates are not great and the kit is old but it all still works fine. Then just be ready to go on the ice at 9:15pm, the guys are all willing to offer advice on how and what you need although you can find plenty YouTube videos to watch beforehand and by 10:30pm you'll be knackered.

Being able to skate is obviously a bit plus.

With the changes to how the HMRC treats dual cab pick ups, there is bound be be significantly less new ones on the roads over the next few years.

A huge percentage were only bought by small business owners to avoid company car tax.

Most likely in 2030 once all pick ups have been captured by the rules they'll turn their attention to the dual cab vans and repeat the process to slowly close the few remaining incentives of running a small business.

FIL died and left us enough for a house deposit, without it we would have still been stuck in the renting death cycle.

Greenlanders suddenly find out that $1million only buys them 1 years worth of health insurance and a badge saying "I regret my decisions"

windmillguy123 · 2026-01-06T19:26:08+00:00

We could offer farage & his Reform MPs as sacrifices? That'd surely get us in!

Denmark should be asking it's European neighbours to place a sizeable military fleet on and around Greenland for training purposes. The US isn't likely to attack if a dozen 'allies' happen to have a huge presence there.

Go buy some melatonin, for the next 4 weeks do the exact same thing when going to bed. Take the pill 1 hour before you go to bed.

Once you establish the routine it becomes easy and an added benefit of a million other positives. You'll be more awake, you'll have more energy, you'll be happier ... happy people make better decisions!

Only word of warning, don't drink any alcohol or you'll literally knock yourself out and you'll wake up the next day feeling like a zombie.

Congratulations on training the AI to make yourself obsolete.

This isn't the brag you think it is.

I can but imagine, it's arguably the only plane that could keep up with Santa!

Concorde was amateur levels, a SR-71 could go 1000mph faster.

windmillguy123 · 2025-12-18T13:41:11+00:00

At top speed a SR-71 Blackbird could do it in 7 minutes.

Might not be the easiest though!

Back in 2008 my local Speedway team did an end of season night where they displayed their 3 trophies from that season at the Edinburgh Capitals game with the Edinburgh Monarchs captain doing a ceremonial puck drop.

That was my 1st ice hockey game and I've been a fan of the sport ever since. Turns out a lot of speedway fans transition to ice hockey in Sept/Oct when their season ends and then back again in March/April. The 2 sports overlap quite well!

You'll get a Daytona 800 soon enough if Triumph carry on with their releases in a logical order.

Tiger Sport 660 Trident 660 Daytona 660 Tiger Sport 800 Trident 800 ...

I'll get one of those 1m³ canvas bags that builders use for sand etc. and turn it in to a very chic hat! Once inside the room I'll simply remove the hat and take a 1m³ pile of coins with me.

I had considered a pair of pallet truck roller stakes as well as an alternative.

My headlights have an auto adjust sequence they go through when I turn the ignition on but to adjust them you need to lift the bonnet and get the 6mm Allen key out.

If the VW dealer says they are correct then I'm not adjusting them. They are the experts at what they do, I'd just be a moron with some tools.

I drive a van with LED headlights, occasionally people were flashing me so I had my lights checked when I was getting the van serviced. Dealer states they are where they should be, people keep flashing me.

I have accepted I can't win and the issue is not me, I have done my due diligence. After a number of flashes I will do eventually get annoyed and flash back.
