Rightyo, now that the outage stuff is sorted it is time to do some proper maintenance and upgrades on this place. I'm timing this to coincide with the usual annual bits n pieces like site renewal and security certificates but a full board software upgrade hasn't happened since 2017 or so so this is a biggie. Since I am unsure how long this work will take I am not going to put a full timeline on it, it might be a day might be the whole week. Most regular users are now on our backup Discord, which will be TT for the time we're down doing this work. If you aren't yet please DM myself or one of the other mods/admins and we will provide the link for you. Any questions chuck them in here or DM me. Cheers!

It's our 25th wedding anniversary today, we walked past a fairly new restaurant in town a good while ago now which we've never been in before and Mrs HMHM said it smelled lovely so I thought I'd treat her and tonight I'm taking her past it again for another whiff of it.

We wouldn’t be bidding unless we’d already got word that the player is interested. Up to him now to dig his heels in and go on strike. Sorry, I’ve just realised who he plays for.

The HMHMs, pictured this evening:

Congratulations. Coincidence, it's actually my 30th anniversary today. Fucking hell I'm old etc. Anyway, I'm actually taking my wife out tonight to a restaurant, unlike you unromantic pig. Good thing about being the 30th is I'm saving money by giving her a pearl necklace later. Think Mrs Rents might be more than a bit disappointed....

Can't get the Eastenders theme out of my head because of the second picture.

the discord business.... just downloaded it and registered etc, every topic I click on it says I don't have permission to view its history?? how the fuck am I supposed to argue with any cunt?

"Classier" gets me every time - they genuinely believe it as well.

Yes but that's history washing and goes against the "people's club" narrative.

Didn't the Moores Pools money just bankroll them?

That sounds suspiciously like something someone on ready to go might have made up. Of course it would have had to include the other driver being from Bilbao and telling the mackem who wrote it that Sunderland are their very reason for being and that they hate all Geordies FTM. Oh and the genocide etc.

When you join, you need to be assigned a role before everything is visible. It's an anti-quiff mechanism

Rayvin's running a ballot, give it a go, you may get in.

So, how are we all celebrating Dan Hannan Freedom Day? 🥳 https://www.reaction.life/p/britain-looks-like-brexit

"I don't get it ... they promised they'd stop pressing the button!" Bit like the time the BBC asked Rage Against The Machine not to swear during a live performance of 'Killing In The Name Of'

Just seen the thread title now.

They don’t want their strikers bombing forward for sure.

Off to the Wylam Brewery now to see some lads called Start to End play Prefab Sprout’s 1985 MASTERPIECE Steve McQueen in full and might round off the two day effort with Father John Misty at the Sage tomorrow if I buckle to temptation through the day tomorrow

Of course I'm taking her out to a restaurant you knacker. Happy anniversary to you and Mrs Rents. 30 years of you and stained glass dreams, where did the time go? She deserves a medal the size of a frying pan.

But they generate their own money just like they did in the 2nd division all of a sudden in the early 60s to poach the up and coming Shankly and let him build the club to generate their own money. If only PSR had been a thing starting from the beginning of the 20th century, eh?

No, but there's a gifs role if you're interested, RR?

Trump trying the patented: "I swear to fucking Christ if you two little cunts don't knock it off I'll turn the car around and you won't get to go to Disneyland." If it doesn't work with children then it's never going to work with two maniacs.

"Yewneyk"

NO

What day are you planning to start it, Andrew? (Also, will we have announced a new signing/new stadium plan/new training ground/new CEO/new DOF by the time we're back up and running?)

I have considered myself as an educated person in the past, but seeing fascist narratives becoming mainstream opinion I simply don’t give a fuck outside of my work confronting the erosion of the rule of law. People can seriously fuck off tbh.

I don't know why Forest would even consider strengthening a direct rival unless they can take us to the cleaners, or are desperate for the money. Under either scenario you'd think there would be better value options out there if they don't welcome our interest. I just hope we don't waste huge amounts of time chasing a club who doesn't really want to sell, like Guehi last season.

AUCKLAND CITY FC HAVE GOT A DRAW AGAINST BOCA JUNIORS!

Just back from a weekend in Glasgow. The less said the better 😬

I haven't got cystitis.

still the greatest form of the game

Again, I had to check that was a direct quote. The language and postering in politics is pretty much unbelievable these days, especially in the US.

I think the perfect timing to do the work would be from 00:00 July 1st until September 1st at 19:00 BST.

ls the role of argumentative sod still available?

Don’t worry, you’ll find a way

“unique and classier” The poor, poor bastards

Then he sees geordie shore and joins Chelsea instead.

He's probably seen those pics of Trippier partying and thinks it will be wall to wall clunge

I was speaking relatively. Other than Ukraine and the Middle East, Pakistan and India were flying hundreds of planes at each other about a month ago and who knows how long till China decides to test out it's capabilities on Taiwan. For the most part we've seen proxy wars, insurgencies and terrorism in the last few decades. The US and allies bombing countries that had little ability to defend themselves. We've now got far right nut jobs in charge across the world and whatever semblance of moral, stable US leadership/hegemony is evaporating fast. The thinking clear across so many recent incidents and escalations now is if you want something and think you can get if off the smaller/weaker guy, do it. To hell with international law, UN charters etc.

That Scalvini lad hasn't played at all in 24/25 due to injury.

Some of us have been saying that's likely the case for a couple of weeks in the hope some would stop pissing their knickers.

Uh oh, Wykiki is riled again.... "So I decided to treat t'missus, Brenda, to a fancy night away. You know, break the routine. So I booked us into this swanky hotel, cost me a princely £360 for one night! Three hundred and sixty quid! I nearly had a heart attack just typing in me card details. Brenda, mind, she was buzzing, all excited about the 'luxury experience,' as she called it. I was just hoping they had decent tea bags, not them flimsy ones that tear as soon as you look at 'em. T'room was grand, I'll give 'em that. Plush carpets, a bed you could get lost in, and even tiny bottles of shampoo that smelled like a French perfume shop. We had a decent enough evening, even if I felt a bit out of place even in me best trousers. Come morning, we head down for breakfast. Now, I'm a full English man, me. Bacon, sausages, black pudding, the lot. You can keep your English tapas muck Fish. Brenda, though, she gets all high and mighty. "Oh, I'll just have a latte, darling," she says, all prim and proper to the waitress. I just grunted, thinking, 'it's just a coffee, Brenda, not a royal decree.' We finished up, and I was just about to head off to find me car when the waitress comes over with a little slip of paper. "Your invoice, sir," she says, all smiles. I took it, thinking it was just a confirmation of the room, you know. Then I saw it. Right there, staring me in the face, plain as day: "Latte: £4.50." Four pounds fifty pence! For a bleeding cup of milky coffee! I tell you what, me blood pressure shot up faster than Wiggins on steroids. My feathers were properly spiraling, I can tell you. I felt like I'd been mugged in broad daylight, but with a silver spoon and a polite smile. I paid it, of course, because Brenda was giving me the 'don't make a scene' look. But as soon as we were in the car, I let rip. "Four pounds fifty! For a latte! I could buy a whole sack of t'Yorkshire Tea for that! It's an absolute disgrace, Brenda, a robbery in plain sight!" Four pounds fifty though. I'll never get over it. Never. CUNTS.

For one?
