The Fish

Which is fine if they're not saturated with US-centric imagery. From the news desks, to brand logos. Hell, watch a movie and there's the Universal Studios logo, USA proud of all others, top of the world, that's where the sun's rising and the rest of the world is in darkness. Also, those interviewed weren't Brendan Dassey hicks.

Couldn't believe they couldn't even pick out the USA. I mean, I'd struggle with half the european countries, but I'd definitely be able to pick out England on a fucking map.

Either that or because I was nice to Alexa, I'll be one of the meatpets owned by our new cybernetic overlords.

You own a roomba, so you can stick that right up your flux capacitor. Bloke at work has a "Smart Kettle" that won't boil dry and will heat the water to the specific temperature for the beverage you're after. Apparently he say's good morning to the Echo and it gives him the weather, the headlines, boils the kettle and then plays the radio for him.

Let me get this straight, the reason Brexit is a shit show is because Labour haven't meekly agreed with the government? Now, I don't follow politics half as much as the rest of you, but I see loads of stories and hear loads of complaints that Labour don't provide actual opposition. End of the day, Brexit is the result of a power struggle in the Conservative party and subsequent lies from the Leave side, right? Not sure how CT can blame Labour for this omnishambles. It's like, 25 years ago, blaming the lawyer for the Jurassic Park Dinosaur incident.

Once you get the right "skills" and accessories it's tip top. The Phillips Hue bulbs are the next thing for me, then one of the alexa compatible doorbell/camera things, then locks, entertainment stuff will wait until after Christmas, I reckon. Teach it routines and all that

The litmus test is surely how safe Jack is in the taxi rank when Gemmill's on the prowl

Morgan isn't remotely interested in journalism. He's purely concerned with getting attention. His response to criticism of his softball "interviews" with Bannon and Trump? "Well where were your interviews?" Trump isn't going to let someone actually hold him to task because he knows he'll be made to look ridiculous, and even if someone does land a few actual questions he'll not answer them or dismiss the interviewer as "Fake News". I've seen a load of right leaning folk on twitter retweeting Morgan and Trump and their ilk, as if it's all a bit of a laugh. This orange buffoon is one of the most powerful people on the planet, he's a bigot, a misogynist and a child. It's not a bit of a laugh, it's serious.

Cheers and merry birthday to you too my simian chum

We marked it by having a couple of mates round, eating mexican and having a couple of beers What a Thursday that was

Did that through Uni, and London. Now I'm 37 (thanks for the birthday thread you double scoop of paedojizz icecream) I can't be arsed to deal with the inevitable crushing sense of regret.

I'm not surprised.

That's why God gave men corybantic nose, ear and eyebrow hair.

Should definitely be a lesbian tailors called "Her suit".

Don't do that, I'll end having to put you all neatly back together again, in alphabetical order.

Used it before at Uni, gave me some simple things I can do to be well (eating properly, exercising, talking, etc.), how to manage when it feels like it's too much; talking, making lists, doing 2 minute jobs with a clear sense of completion (washing up, making the bed, etc.), also advice about how to spot triggers and symptoms. I found it useful, but it won't be for everyone. tbh, I've been on top of it for nigh on 20yrs, but I've packed a lot of stress into about 18 months. Moving (twice), two jobs, wedding, and so on. I've obviously not been managing myself properly and it's all been piling up on top of itself.

It was part of the solutioning we blue skyed in our face to face, something to action moving forward.

Wouldn't worry, he's the type to wear white socks and sandals.

Seen a lot of big life changes in the past 2yrs and haven't been looking after myself properly. Work noticed a few tells and my manager had a quick chat to see if everything was ok, which prompted me to reach out. So just had the results of my mental health assessment back. Moderate to severe depression, severe anxiety (which is what I was expecting), but now "symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder" which a new twist Don't get BUPA through work until December and so I'm on the waiting list with the NHS. So basically lads, if I start turning the website on and off exactly 12 times, don't fret it's all good

"Magnetic Sandals" playing tonight at the Cluny, £8 in, £5 concessions.

Thing is, we only faced poor opposition because the other big guns failed to get far enough to face us, despite facing the same shit we did. Also, England essentially threw that game against Belgium. There are many positives to take from this World Cup, not just the feel good factor. The core of that side will be better in 2 years time, plus Foden, Sancho, Sessegnon will likely be in the squad too. I think it’s churlish to paint it as a failure or to dismiss the first semi-final in nigh on 30 years.

Allardyce's England would have lost to Tunisia, drawn with Panama and Belgium. Rooney would have finished the tournament as our top goal scorer with 2 and the press would have slaughtered Fat Sam. I thought England played some decent stuff throughout the tournament and some of the squad enhanced their reputations. Reaching the Semi-Finals of the World Cup shouldn't be sniffed at, regardless of the teams faced en route. Other England squads wouldn't have beaten that Colombian side, wouldn't have strolled past Sweden, some wouldn't have got out the group and some wouldn't even have got to the World Cup in the first place. My wife never gave a shit about football until this tournament, but last night she was kicking every ball and was gutted when England were knocked out. So at least in my case, actually football did come home.

Happy that it looks like we're signing Kenedy, albeit on loan. Underwhelmed with Ki to be honest.

Think the disorder has as much to do with the heat and an overarching sense of disenfranchisement, as any pervasive "England disease". Little difference between this and the Notting Hill riots a few years ago, imo. Mostly kids waiting for an event to spark a reaction. Wasn't there widely reported instances of US sports fans tearing their cities apart after a win/loss? There's also this; https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2132163/why-do-us-sports-fans-riot-after-win-science-behind
