  1. Hoping for Lingard - thinking he could be our next Rob Lee.
  2. Anyone watching this? (Boris's sorry not sorry) How does he get away with it, we know that he's lied to parliament. Starmer is going at it - but he's not saying "you lied, walk" - why not?
  3. If they let you have that as a single service, let us know in here please. Because that's amazing value.
  4. Depends on how far away from the TV you are tbh. Display Size, Resolution, and Ideal Viewing Distance | RGB Spectrum Not to say 4k doesn't look "better" than 1080p when you're too close, but you dont get the full benefit. Also, hardly anything broadcasts 4k without charging you extortionate fees for the priviledge (Amazon video DOESN'T charge at the moment) For the original question. Virgin Media quality is great Pricing is not great and they WILL fleece you year on year if you let them , increasing your prices. As per the screenshot above, everyone's parents I know have been fleeced into paying bills touching 100 quid a month , over the years. I'm currently getting TV, phone and internet, for just the price of internet - because I told them the bills were too high and that I wanted rid of the phone and TV - they just let me keep it for free.
  5. Lockdown party report delivered to Downing Street - BBC News I hope if I'm ever investigated , for a potentially illegal act - that the investigator gives me the report first too. Jesus , what kind of country do we live in. Utter fuckin madness. Where else would you give the report to the person its implicating?
  6. I'll entertain it, why not? I'm kind of new again and full of energy It's not black and white. I'm liberal (in the real sense of the word) but I probably hold some right wing views. I'd like national service, for all who don't go on to further education at 16, for example, and I'd like us to build more prisons and give people real sentences (Couple jailed after their baby died with more than 60 broken bones | ITV News London - 8 years for baby murder). On the other side I believe in rehabilitation and our commitment to the Geneva Refugee convention. Just labelling people as "left" and right is annoying and it reads like an attack (whichever side you feel you are on) and then people get defensive, and it escalates and gets silly. The whole "left" thing seems to me to be a manufactured thing that's happened in Britain in the past 15 years that I've mostly missed. It wasn't a thing in 2005 , I've tried searching google etc for it, date limited and its just very rare. the left at DuckDuckGo - limited to 2004 the left at DuckDuckGo today I think it all started straight after the con/lib coalition and I believe it's come from American political culture. A way to indoctrinate people that anything not in favour of GDP > everything , is communist. Just like a certain country over the pond and look at the fucking state of them - scared of their own shadows because everyone is full of pre-conceived ideas about the others and everyone is "something" (so division in society) - Black , White, Communist, Democrat, Republican, NRA , Anti Abortion, etc etc etc. Anyhoo, my personal opinion- It's not left vs right. It's everyone vs NeoLiberalism and we need to try and win pretty fucking quickly as they are sewing everything up to ensure they can rob us and the world of our resources indefinately. Most of the media, most publishers, most governments are all in the pocket of the few. We had the IMF literally take control of Greece a few years ago, acting as a government and setting it's healthcare policy. No one batted an eyelid as people ate from bins and death increased - cos they "deserved it" and were in debt , right? All this labelling, is just playing into the hands of the politicians - divide and conquer is a strategy. I'm bleating again.. cheers for the therapy
  7. Please, for the love of god, change that profile picture. I can't unsee it - wtf is it anyway?
  8. Fondu, you cretins - on a potato, piece of bread or mars bar. Not suitable for sexy shenanigans as it can get hotter than lava. Special love to burger companions, feta , Kasseri and Kefalotiri. There's a secret place in Jesmond that you can get this stuff "unpasturised" oooooo (well, it was secret, still I started telling everyone and their aunt)
  9. The arsenal lad fits Eddie's mould and he does like to buy "underachieving" players for which he sees potential to develop at a cheaper price. (or the promotional video on youtube makes that out) Regarding Lingard , apparently (msn news) Rashfords been gobby saying its about Man Utd not wanting to be embarrassed when Lingard comes to play for us and plays well.
  10. Yeah , I like Dave Johns (especially his stand up) - very depressing watch, but very very realistic..
  11. Take it how you want - but I know that Boris did have Covid . I was telling my wife at the time that it was wrong to wish he got it bad, but boy that was a hard stance to take, with so many people dying and suffering and him making the stupid PM speech in Greenwich on 3rd Feb then pretending he wasn't trying to get us all to be superheroes and just let is wash through us... Interestingly, everyone who treated him - bar 1 has since left the NHS - one of them very publicly, so I am told
  12. I've an inkling that it is corruption , right through the MET and Cabinet. If im wrong I want correcting - but if the MET do provide all the bobbies you see outside Number 10 and downing street - then they KNEW and it's self implicating on the MET as a whole. This is getting buried in plain sight. Our parliament is taking serious damage here imo. They are showing what "The ministerial code" "The rule of Law" and "transparency in Government" are worth. All absolutely unenforceable if the PM doesn't allow it?
  13. It is absolutely outrageous. I actually claimed (for 6 weeks) when I returned back to the UK, as I had all my stuff on a boat coming back - had to wait weeks for my money to come back too and wanted the Council Tax exemption, I was effectively living off a credit card and I needed cash for minimum payments. I had no computer or printer or anything, and, irony on irony - was applying for a Full Time leadership job with the DWP in IT . They wanted a paper copy of the CV at interview! So, I went to the job centre to be absolutely alarmed that they wouldn't print out my CV (computer says no) - from an email, as staff machines were locked down, or from my USB stick containing a word document. They don't provide access to a computer to print a CV anymore! They told me to come back with the file in PDF format on a USB stick - that they could put straight into their printer - it was the "only way". Some poor woman was crying in there , because she had no money, a job interview that she needed to travel by train for - and no right to help with transport costs. Meanwhile, my "advisor" was telling me that if I didn't get a job in IT (I'm highly qualified, worked in IT for 20 years + , globally) within 12 weeks that I essentially had to take "any job" within a 50 mile radius, or lose the UC. The fact they don't pay anything for 4 weeks is also a massive thing - so the scenario is that : People sign onto UC then in the 4 weeks they are waiting for cash - potentially with NO disposable income, they are supposed to find work - or gamble and take a loan for that 4 weeks money, and pay it back with the payment they are due. Fuckin mockery, creating an underclass they can blame for everything. As smug as this might sound (its not) - I'm in demand and I'd struggle to go from initial offer to signing a contract in 4 weeks. It usually takes around 6-8 weeks from initial interview to actually getting in, due to security checks etc. Final point on this - the Vivaldi music and the fact that every application is initially knocked back , for me is psychological warfare against the poorest members of our society. 4 bars of vivaldi , for 30 minutes is the only way to access the service when querying your refusal.
  14. Florida's orrider than Whitley Bay. No Mckewans best scotch in the USA. Used to sing that in Florida, no one laughed... not much changed.
  15. I'm questioning my sexuality tbh.
  16. Look its been a busy day... Fuck it, im off back to onlyfans.
  17. We know its bollocks though, right? The PIF is not a piggy bank, it is actually an investment fund. They will spend crazy money, dont get me wrong and it might be a vanity project for the fund - but that pie chart has to be on the TOTAL value of the fund - which there's not a bloody chance you could even spend on 1 football club.
  18. They just don't seem to fuckin learn do they. I mean is there a mole anymore? I doubt Ferd's leaking this stuff. I find it endearing to think they are as excited as us tho, and just getting carried away with things.
  19. Yeah , to be fair, I've been away a really long time. I remember people saying the Cayman government was corrupt , and once you'd seen it so transparently - you'd see it when you returned home. I was hoping that to be the case, but this stuff is just totally blatent. Dick nearly gets fired (rightfully last year) but the government defend her. The MET for example, manage security of Downing street in a way , right? I mean it's their police force there.. So they must have KNOWN what was going on. Then the MET say they wont investigate. Now it looks like Boris may go and the tories may look for a scapegoat - all of a sudden they want to investigate. All those PPE deals, "NHS" *Cough* test and trace all of it has exposed them . The current cabinet isn't clever enough for cloak and dagger (except for Gove, who's a durty bastard)
  20. This is so damaging to UK politics and depressing really. When Trump was being attacked - it was condemned , even in the Torygraph that the President of the USA is above the law. All this is showing is that the current system is all honor and there's no real rules or way of enforcing anything. It's clear and obvious Boris has lied, Starmer took him for that today . The Speaker himself is having to intervene constantly The Met office have started criminal charges. Scary really, I didn't think we had a system where MPs were so above the law -- and I thought I was quite aware of UK politics.
  21. I don't know what I think, I worry that he's replaced and the goldfish memory of the electorate forgets. What I like about this, is he's totally unable to hide all the corruption and favouritism to the elite, at the cost of the electorate, that the "Conservatives" do as their business as usual. It's almost like an unintentional transparency . Putting Gove in, who has no right to be involved in politics, may well steady the ship
  22. Things must be serious Reece Mogg is wearing a facemask in parliament.
  23. Hopefully, he goes soon - before he gets a chance to start a conflict with Russia to divert attention and save his career. Somehow, with less active soilders than the capacity of Wembley to defend us and Russia allegedly with 100,000 on the border of Ukraine - we might lose. This following MORE fucking tory cuts while GDP soars year on year with Quantitative Easing backing it . We dont need tanks, or infantry anymore apparently, we can just wage a cyber war instead... fuckin cummings and boris madness.
  24. It works though, that's the scary thing. Trump showed how easy it is to say one thing , whilst the facts are published publically, and get away with it. Like "the EU is going to let Turkey in" "Our vaccination project is the fastest in the world" "Everyone in ICU or dying of Covid is unvaccinated" "Wages are rising at the fastest rate in history" "Refugees have to stop at the first "safe country" they enter, else they are illegal" (totally NOT whats outlined in the Geneva convention ) "Unemployment is at its lowest rate ever" (zero hour contract market etc). and my personal favourite at the moment, after hitting Omnicron and having most of us vaccinated or previously infected - "Covid is as harmful as flu, we didnt need all these restrictions, they were disproportionate, we need to just live with it like we do flu" (despite the fact we have a sterilising vaccine for flu and its seasonal, not 3 or 4 times a year). Etc etc etc.
