  1. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    Not arguing that travel isn't a great opportunity for children at a young age. Commenting more on the difficulties of settling into a new country and the strains that can put on relationships even when you both get to pick the country, saw plenty of ex-pat marriages implode in HK and Singapore...
  2. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    How he reacts to this will be the big test of whether he has changed, I do worry that if he gets a transfer overseas to dodge the fan abuse and other English club's concerns about image and struggles to settle then ******* and the new baby could be in an even more vulnerable position isolated in...
  3. Music Great music you haven't listened to for ages

    Yeah, I drift in and out occasionally but rarely feel the urge to post, the political side is the same old arguments with an increased number of nutters and the more boring football and increasing number of idiots who believe they know it all is just too depressing to tackle. Generally too busy...
  4. Music Great music you haven't listened to for ages

    I don't know if the shit name doesn't play a part. I'm sure it seemed very quirky to Matt at the time but now our music is organised in digital files or on digital streaming services they just disappear into the plethora of bands with "The" names. I know it makes them very difficult to find on...
  5. Music Great music you haven't listened to for ages

    Dug out Soul Mining and Infected for the first time in ages after hearing This is the Day in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Always dumbfounded how overlooked The The are, maybe they were a bit too poppy for the indie and rock crowds but everything Matt Johnson has done is near perfect.
  6. Music Meatloaf has passed away

    Got to refute that Wibbs, had Bat Out of Hell but never had Rumours. I really can't abide later Fleetwood Mac, mainly due to Mick, loved some of the Peter Green stuff but hated the later drippy MOR crap.
  7. Music Meatloaf has passed away

    I'd say more like the Elton John to Steinman's Bernie Taupin, Meatloaf had a unique voice and singing talent that Steinman used to create great music.
  8. Music Meatloaf has passed away

    My first thought, what's all this Michael Lee Aday nonsense, in death his name is Robert Paulson. First 7" single I physically bought was Dead Ringer with him and Cher belting it our.
  9. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    I agree that swift political action would save many lives, Boris has demonstrated since the start of this that he is unable or unwilling to take swift action however. The latest debacle and stream of lies over not joining the EU joint procurement scheme for ventilators, PPE and tests is just one...
  10. SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

    Too right, he's doing feck all to help with Covid, just the usual bluff, bluster and lies while his mates plot a bold eugenically cleansed future. The NHS workers who are putting themselves directly in the line of fire to help people should always be first in the queue for the tests.
  11. The ugly face of racism in English football

    First time I've ever been glad he never made it at United and became a success for the scousers instead http://www.thefa.com/news/2019/mar/22/beardsley-charged-220319 32 week suspension from all football for multiple counts of racism against youth players Should be banned for life to be honest.
  12. Premier League wants Brexit exemption amid fears next N'Golo Kante would be denied work permit

    Brexit was always about economic anxiety just not the anxiety of the poor and working class who voted for it but the anxiety of the Rees-Moggs, Banks, Odeys Rothermeres, Barclays & Murdochs who stand to be crucified under anti tax avoidance legislation by the EU next January.
  13. How good was Ryan Giggs?

    Sharpey and Giggs together were magnificent especially when they switched wings or doubled up to crucify teams but Sharpe was more showy, egocentric and outspoken. It was great to watch and the little backheels, OTT celebrations and great goals probably did place Lee above Ryan for a season or...
  14. Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

    It was fairly obvious that in the General election a vote for either Lib Dem or Green to make a point over Brexit would also have been a wasted vote in that it would have allowed the tories to take the majority they sought to force their version of Brexit through. The Euros are different and...
  15. Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris | 15th April 2019

    A very bizarre view, even the atheist in me must disagree but the Engineer in me is too busy laughing his ass off to let him out. Buildings like Notre Dame challenged what we could do with the materials available to us and the desire to go taller and thinner that was epitomised in the...
