I'd be interested to know how productivity has been lost due to waiting for NUFC box office to answer. 1% of GDP?

Gloom's first post alluded to Iran backing of this whichlooks like it has been proved right. And Hezbollah are gettting involved on the Northern border. They are as thick as pigshit. They don't know that Yemen is a civil war, and that Saudi are the leaders of a large coalition against the Houthi rebels backed by Iran, and that we are de facto part of this coalition. They don't know the Houthi viscerally hate everything about the West. Since they like flags so much, maybe they should look at theirs: Translation: "God is the greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam". These are the people these morons are supporting by implication.

"All look the same to me mate". As has been said, the irony is these lot are absolute Tommy Robinson type knuckle draggers. They like to brag about football violence on the pure football board too.

Well, it started with them calling a perfectly reasonable tweet from James Reubens (a jewish businessman of course) hypocritical. It certainly wasn't in any normal definition of the word. And then somehow this has morphed into us whinging about hypocrisy? And regarding them notunderstanding anything about geopolitics, you have this brain donor who is repeatedly factually wrong in every hateful point he tries to make.

Sorry, I just have to keep flagging this thick cunt, because he is just about the thickest cunt on the internet. And he is a mod of the SMB.

Nice logic.

They're the only sentient beings that do.

They seem to like my crotch for some reason.

Well yeah, exactly. I've got the option to wfh, so fair enough. Just like to get out now and again.

You'd think. But if you bring it up, the end result will be people bringing dogs will stop coming in and yeah, I'd be ostracised probably. Maybe I'm a coward but I don't want the awkwardness. I dunno, my point was more about when this became a normal thing. I can see it being okay in some work places with segregated areas, but this is a modern open plan multi-storey office, we have dogs running up and down it, sniffing out your sarnies etc. It wouldn't be allowed anywhere else I've worked.

I'm not scared of dogs. I know people who are after being attacked by them though. Anyway, this has probably gone as expected, think I'll wfh from now, looking for a new job anyway.

I think this is a dimension to it, a true inter-city derby with geographical segregation adds to it, especially when one area is so inferior.

Not so much the piss, but the whole concept of dogs in the office when you have the ability to wfh? I don't get it. And there is just no concession for people with allergies of phobias. I find it absolutely bizarre but my line manager is one of the offeders, so not a lot I can do.

So, I know like in society in general we have a lot of dog lovers on the board, but how do we feel about bringing them into the office? Cos that's what happens here. Colleague's dog has just pissed all over the carpet near my desk and it hasn't even been cleared up, just left. It stinks and for the first time in months I'm needing my salbutamol inhaler. It shits too but they do sort of clean that up. I find it bizarre this is allowed and our office company actively encourages it. Surely you should just wfh if you have a dog? You wouldn't bring a kid in.

There was that lad Maja when they were in league 1 who couldn't wait to get off to France, didn't they have another striker Grabben or somethings that absolutely detested them, even when he played there, Loch Ness Drogba was off as soon as he could, then the was Darron Gibson who could only cope being there by becoming a raging alcoholic. Compare and contrast that with us, how many players have had a bad word about the city (Ashley maybe, a different matter). And the funniest thing is this just makes them hate all these players and the clubs they now represent, such as now they hate half the EPL and have invented friendships based on clubs they have never played against, like Feyenoord and Bilbao.

Favourite part of that song is "took a number three" btw.

Yeah, my colleague just did. Actually paiud money. Apparently they stripped of and a few grannies threw their bra and knickers on stage.

Feel exactly the same. What with this, Ukraine, and just the general decline of the UK and US (from a polltical perspective), it's depressing. Even before we consider the implications of climate change etc.

Work colleague has just introduced me to these. Fucking hell, I need to bleach my brain.

Brighton is also an attractive cosmopolitan city on the South Coast, playing in a modern arena, an hour or so from London. I can imagine up and coming players being attacted there. Sunderland is a shithole Brexit voting town who play in a toxic litter-strewn shed in front of the hills have eyes. An uphill task recruiting the higher you go. I can barely think of a single player they've had who's praised the place after they've left.

Reading the Mackems trying to point score about the Israeli Hamas conflict is quite the thing. A combination of their pig ignorance, lack of any empathy and astounding hypocrisy really makes me think they are complete cunts. I guess just like the Palestinians and Hamas, it's crucial not to judge them collectively. That thread always attracts their dregs. The itony being, these are often right wing nut jobs who crave to live under an authoritarian regime. Classy fans.

He does, and I understand the frustration, but @Rayvin, this is not the way to go. Hope you get a suspended mate.

Random thing. Was thinking of going to Arran next year for a break, came across this place of interest, a picnic table. I can't get the location embedded here for some reason, so here's a screenshot: The reviews are are brilliant, I will definitely visit and add to them.

Just seen this. I agree but the club was just as fucked if not moreso pre-Keegan. Yet just a few years later under Dalgish I saw us beat Barca in a 36,000 SJP stadium and had no bother getting tickets from memory. Our first forray in the CL and only our sixth Euro campaign in our history? I wasn't an ST holder then or a member of any club (I don't think, although I might be wrong on that), still got a ticket from the box office. In the late 90s I also reckon people had more disposable income than now, yet the demand is twice as high as then. This isn't just us like, West Ham get crowds of 62,000 on average. I can only put it down to the PL being a huge success and transforming the game to be inclusive of many other demographics.

You see, you people who go through the ballot get free added excitement. I'd charge you extra for it personally.
