    But happy to be portrayed as a leather jacketed, baseball bat wielding, gang member out to assault people of colour?

     

    Presumably that bit is inarguable.

    This is brilliant, watching the tories rip themselves apart. Sunak is a snivelling cowardly shit with zero authority. May well end up as being the last ever tory PM as the party ultimately eats itself. I love the fact that he lectures us on democracy ṭoo when he is unelected,  his predecessor was unelected, and his foreign secretary is unelected. 

     

    I am genuinely looking forward to their wipe out. Although you still have to wonder if that inevitable 25% will still find a way to justify voting for them anyway.

  3. Seriously :lol: Going back to Alex' rule here. There is always one reactionary right wing nut job on this forum, at any given time.

     

    What I don't understand is how they coordinate it so well... it's like an almost perfect conveyor belt of batshit Q Anon styled misinformed nonsense and it always, always finds us. It either always is Quiff, or they have some sort of rotational system across multiple forums ffs.

  4. I continue to despair at Starmer. He is consistently inconsistent and IMO a complete waste of an opportunity. A boiled turnip could beat the Tories this time out and would probably be more effective.

  5. I think it was Alex who said that a longstanding TT rule was that there must always be one "against the grain" deviant. 

     

    Can't get my head around how persistent that rule is tbh. I reckon only around 75% of them are Quiff too.

  6. Tear along the dotted lines - Italian animation that perfectly captures the millennial mindset and the depressing era we live in, while still being funny. It's on Netflix, I strongly recommend it but watch it in English cos in Italian with subs the dialogue moves too fast to actually read.

    I've been thinking about this a bit as I'm now of the age where heros and those who have had influence upon my life, good and bad, are dying with more regularity than when you are younger.

    And of course that makes you question your own mortality?

    So, I suppose the question is, what's yout thoughts on what's next, once you make the Yes Gemmill thread?

    I was dragged up Catholic/Christian but I have no time for their beliefs, that there is a heaven with a white middle eastern Jewish chap, his dad and cohorts, welcoming the likes of Trump and the world's new believers.

    Terry Pratchet had this wonderful notion in his discworld books, that death himself collects you but after that you get whatever you believe in, so if you're a jihadist you get your 61 virgins (sorry but really who wants a virgin?), if you think it's hell then pack your sunscreen, nothing is nothing, etc etc - which is great but it's too easy and there are too many selfish people for death to agree to that.

    I'm more of there's fuck all, we just go back to the dirt of the earth that made us - which also kind of makes you think what's the fucking point, nihilists are never the life of the party.

    Some days I look at it and think, well all creatures have energy and energy cannot be destroyed, it just transfers to a different form of energy, so maybe our energy is just redistributed to other creatures born when we pass, yes it's a bit close to reincarnation but it could also explain why so many people all seem to think they were Cleopatra in a previous life.

    No one is looking to be converted to the Hillsong church you're a member of, so please remember that but I am interested in what others think?

     

    I think this depends on the extent to which one believes that there is a spiritual dimension to the universe. I am not religious, but I do believe this - there are enough signs of it to convince me. So I have thought to myself at times, what would the 'rules' for a spiritual component to reality look like - and I think I sort of settled on them being likely similar to the physical universe. So when we die, our physical body is broken down and transformed/recycled into other materials or lifeforms, they continue to be 'used' as part of physical reality. I think I believe that the same would therefore be true of our spiritual energy. It is broken down and returned to the 'whole', whatever that is. I do not believe we would retain consciousness or any real sense of ourselves as an individual, but I do think there would be a great peace in the restoration of our spirits with the wider sea of energies.

     

    I also feel that the decisions we take over the course of our lives influence the flavour of energy returned. If we are broken people with significant damage, we return energy that carries that damage, thus harming the overall whole. We therefore have a responsibility to work on ourselves and our pain so that what we return to the sea is as pure as possible.

     

    Sorry for being late to the thread on this, I do appreciate it's moved on a bit.

  8. Rough result but we all know why it happened. Absolutely no criticism of Trippier for me despite the goals, we all know why those errors happened too.

     

    Pickford celebrating is fine IMO, he will know these moments will be few and far between against us and most of the time he's being humiliated - watch out for the return leg at St James where he sprints down the tunnel in tears at full time.

     

    Aa for the rest of this month, it's gonna be rough. I think the position I've landed on is that even if we lost every single game until January, I'm going to struggle to blame the players or the team. They're working so hard and they've got my support either way. We know this is a very good team, we know the try, we know the system works.

    Again, you’re just guessing about me. 

     

    If you were more informed and invested in that conflict than he is saying then you'd be reeling stuff off about it and making some sort of actual case around the issue. You're not though, you're just getting annihilated all over the thread.

     

    So my money is on him having got you bang to rights.

  10. It is what it is, and we would have had to go out to try to beat Milan in the final game either way tbh. It's not like we could have gambled on PSG getting a draw in Dortmund.

     

    I'm still just really proud of the team as my main emotion following that. If we end up in the Europa League, fine. If we qualify despite this, great.

     

    In the end I still never thought I'd see days like this return, and as unfair as that penalty was, at least we're here in the first place. Getting screwed by VAR at the highest level of the game :D
