Whoever she is, she's stolen Lisa Loeb's glasses.

I can't see the word "great" in a Scouse context without hearing it in Dawn French's Sonia voice.

Unless you take out the commas around "where the Fodens live". Then it makes more sense, as long as you're happy with the idea of a neighbourhood writing a letter.

Ahh, "the neighbourhood of Cheshire". You can rely on AI reporting for all the nuances.

You do know these are all the same, right?

79 (SEVENTY-NINE) caps for Ireland.

Gerraway man, we've all seen your unboxing video on YouTube.

Remember the Murdoch press uproar when Obama warned the UK would be worse off in trade deals if it left the EU? Apparently prominent interference in our politics from over the Atlantic was unacceptable back then. I wonder what changed.

I mean, obviously I'm also delighted about their new rules that say hate speech is specifically OK if it's against queer people. This fucking decade, I swear.

I was going to say "depends, he might actually value his principles", then I remembered the Manchester loan.

I am a long-time admirer of Eddie Howe.

That definitely sounds like as much of a you problem as an Insta problem.

I still like Insta for sharing travel/hiking pics and seeing what friends are up to without having to engage in actual conversation (you know what I mean ), but then I hardly see anything on there I don't want to. Facebook is a different matter of course, but I'm like you with interest groups on there and I don't see how there's realistically an easier way for communities - in my case, my running club and a few music contests - to keep in touch in a way that's intuitive and easy for everyone. WhatsApp is hardly a realistic option for most use cases, as something with individual threads/posts is always going to be preferable (and WhatsApp is Meta too anyway), and I can hardly imagine us getting people to shift to old-school forums like this. Although I'd bloody love it if there was a pincer movement from "came of internet age in the late 90s" types like many of us + the younger generation you mention, to move (back) over to this kind of place with actual moderation etc. and actively make things lo-fi and more standalone again.

It's true mind. Once upon a time we'd have had a new thread for every single thought that popped into someone's mind, nowadays it's a badge of honour to dredge up and revive an old topic, ideally from pre-2010 if possible.

This cheeky little shit is my new favourite person. Guaranteed fewm from the Fans TV brigade.

I assure you I was not wearing the socks.

That cannot be how someone actually sounds.

I've surely mentioned it before on here, but one of my most distinct memories of the Keegan era is being out on Gosforth High Street getting lunch from Greggs or the chippy or wherever and a street sweeper accosting us out of the blue and delightedly telling us "He's dropped Hooper!". Can't even remember what match it would have been.
