Renton

Controversial but I quite like Boro. Used to work with a lot of them, all sound and none of the Newcastle Sunderland hatred.

Just tuned into the mackem match, wtf was that display even supposed to be? Howay Boro, do ir for @strawb.

That was my assumption like. Edit, aye, he is: The one I really can't stand on there is Biffo the Bear. Allegedly one of us but so far up the mackem's arseholes he's licking the cheyse off the back of their front teeth. Of course they all love him "Hey's alreyate fer a mag". Anyway, I see they are doing a flag display for the Boro match (derby match if they win). "This is Weardside". The amount of times they've had a go at us for using placca flags..... What I find funny is you know this is guaranteed to start them arguing about us and fighting amongst themselves. There's so many things they create to end up arguing amongst themselves, getting angry in the process. "Geordies think they invented flags!!!!". The only place I have ever heard that said is there. And then they actually feel the need to disprove this utter horseshit they have just made up themselves.

John Peel the Peeler.

Opposite for me. Watched one episode, but predictably didn't fit Mrs Rent's usual criteria that its some detective BS and/or has to have aired on terrestrial TV. I thought it was okay but can't be arsed to watch the rest on my own. Got to say though in general Netflix is pretty gash nowadays with very little I want to watch. It's probably my most expensive service too so will probably get rid of it, along with Disney plus which is terrible.

Let's just say "antipodean bastards"so RR doesn't feel left out. I quite enjoyed the American Office for the first few series at least. Doesn't touch the UK version which was genius imo. I can't even crack a smile watching the trailer for this antipodean shit though, which doesn't bode well. I mean as well, surely the point about Brent/Scott was they were middle aged white men who were completely out of touch, trying to be PC but it backfiring horribly? If you can't get the protagonist right to the level of gender, go fuck yourself with your didgeridoo.

The nearest equivalent I can think of is "Lost in translation". But that had a young nubile Scarlett Johansson in it and didn't last over 6 hours.

It's pretentious guff. You're pretending you liked it.

Yeah, I forced myself through the series. It doesn't get any better imo. Nothing happens.

I think YOU GUYS are right. I'm broadly optimistic about the American Election as I just can't see any independent looking at him and thinking "yeah, he's my choice". Also the federal reserve put down interest rates yesterday just in time for a feel good factor pay day.

Which ones? I am thinking of resubscribing. I know about the Boys and Rings of Power (yes, I liked the first series you Tolkein purist fuck nuts).

But what about the latest assassination attempt? Although tbf, that has dropped off the news agenda pretty quickly, at least internationally speaking.

You're probably right. There are 19 electoral votes in PA which is a swing total of 38. But I think Biden won by a margin of 74 in 2020. I do think it is more important for the Republicans than the Democrats but yes, will likely be crucial to both.

They've turned Brent into a woman. This is one act of wokalism that has gone to far. FUCK YOU OZZIE ARSEHOLES.

I think the republicans definitely need it but hope somehow the Democrats can win without it. Such a weird heterogeneous state with a major modern city in Philadelphia, rust belt city in Pittsburgh, surrounded by rural Hill Billies and 18th century Dutch christians. I don't trust it remotely.

Aye, or even ""it must never happen again, unless by us". This is what I find so disturbing, if there were one group of people who should be acutely aware of the consequences of, at best, ethnic cleansing, it is the Israeli settlers of the holocaust survivors. It gives me little hope for humanity that they participate in this, and, from what I can tell, most in Israel are supportive.

I am getting that Michell and Webb meme "are we the bad guys" feelin here. Hezbollah maybe terrorists, but the Israeli governement are too, and much more extreme and better at it. If the boot were on the other foot there would be outrage. Netanyahu needs to be tried and imprisoned for life under terrorism charges.

I actually do regard you, PL, and MF as a trio of newbies. Alex, Gemmill, and Gloomy (aka Dan) are the old guard.

Posted this before. It's. A Bagel shop, not a brothel unfortunately.

I got engaged to my wife in a Chinese restaurant in SoHo called "Luk Ho Fuk" which was probably approriate at the time. After 30 years its probably been renamed "Luk Ho No Fuk". Also reminds me of this hotel, Ho Le Fook. Neither beats the House of Holes for innuendo in Tynemouth though.

Ironically they were using pagers because they were afraid of Mossad hacking their mobiles.

Typical that they get to shaft young boys in contrast to us being piled on by the best of France, Italy and Germany. Would have been interesting to see how we would have done under this new bullshit format.

Fucking hell, Israel has managed to blow up half of Hezbollah by planting a batch of pagers laden with explosives in them, and somehow distributing them. Simultaneously detonated them. It's like a plot from Black mirror

The acceptance stage comes after denial Gems.
