In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Doesnt the more multicultural a city becomes make it seem more foreign though? Logically? Especially to elders.
20 years old Cleese would mock 80 years old Cleese. What a bitter old man he's become.
Multicultural cities are unbelievably boring though. Nobody goes to visit Kyoto or something to get Saeeds kebab or Janet’s Full English cafe. It just makes it shite. I never understand where this rampant idea of multiculturalism being amazing comes from.
Boomers have been poisoned by Facebook
Dunno man. If I was a resident in Kyoto I might quite like Saeed's kebab occasionally. There's a French restaurant near me that's pretty good, a spanking Thai one too. Seems like my area would be a bit poorer if it just had Chris's chippy and The Kings Arms. That would be unbelievably boring.
Complete bollox. I was brought up in a city that was monocultural until much more recently than most and is a far more interesting place to live in now I can eat food from a dozen different cultures instead of choosing between our one and only Indian restaurant and half a dozen shit Chinese takeaways. Can’t even get my head around the idea that multicultural cities are “unbelievably boring”. That’s one of the weirdest claims I’ve ever read on here.
Why are you looking at it from a tourist perspective? Its shite when you have to live there.
World class shitpost or just a shit post.
A city being multicultural doesn't mean the basic culture of the country it exists in is lost, so this doesn't really make any sense.
Yeah I don't get why tourism suddenly became the main focal point. Why can't Kyoto locals enjoy a good kebab every now and then?!
Possibly the worst take of all time.
The best Kebab i've ate is at Tokyo, them Japanese does thing well, whatever that is.
Where do you live!
Having an array of options, foodwise, makes life so much better. It’s not just food as well.
you want to go to Kyoto and eat kyoto food in places staffed by kyoto people and travel round in taxis driven by good old kyoto people. with their kyoto born and bred bretheren keeping the streets clean. and be reassured that if you fall ill, the hospital in town, stuffed full of kyoto-ic nurses and doctors will look after you. obviously you dont mind the non-kyoto folks coming in help out, but as long they dont live in kyoto its ok.
Scotland and he only likes to eat deep-fried Mars bars?
Typical Sesame Street playing politics and jumping on the woke bandwagon announcing this new muppet to represent Asian-Americans instead of their usual muppet creations like the ones that are African-American, gay, same sex couples, autistic, single parents, Latin-American, deaf, blind, step families and that narcissistic cnut Elmo.
Unless they're pissed off that in the 80s they had a Muppet called Donald Grump, but I doubt it even though the resemblance is uncanny...
The Drosophila crew are pretty insane with their gene names. My favorites that are forever stuck in my brain:
1. Cheap Date - Mutation generating low alcohol tolerance
2. Ken and Barbie - Mutation resulting in no external genitalia
i went from chemistry to yeast genetics, so its all boring abbreviations, then in grad school reading my first fly paper i was so confused!

same with the bacteria world. Just a lot of boring abbreviations. I’m convinced it’s because the drosophila researchers went slowly insane from having to manually sort through a vial of thousands of flies looking for new phenotypes after random mutagenesis.
Yeah maybe. Unless you move to another multicultural city and have the exact same opinion on a different day. Boring
Of course it does.

Strange.
They did have people of different colour.
He's right, nowadays we simply can't find any bands where all members are straight men. Impossible.
So if I understand him right(I'm not reading the Sun): in order to make it big now your band has to be diverse?
Well firstly: I don't think rock music is very popular with the mainstream anymore, so even with a diverse band you'd have the odds against you. Are there even any universally loved rock bands that have been formed in the last 5 years? Or even any pop groups for that matter?
Secondly: the rock and metal genre is still dominated by cis-gendered white men, is it not? Or perhaps that's his point? That rock and metal has become less popular because it's not diverse enough?

In case anyone was thinking of getting rid of their Brian May tattoo.
What did he say specifically?
The guitarist said:
Discussing whether he thinks female performers will miss out again thanks to the gender-neutral move, May said:
Asked what he would like to see in the future, the musician replied:
He was criticised for A, but it probably needs to be taken in the context of B.
