  1. Do they still use them for kids rides on the beach? Suppose he could carry bricks in the mountains of Morocco or wherever those adverts are set.
  2. Dogma is a fantastic film. Maybe helps if you're a cynical ex-catholic.
  3. Did the so call red wall voters care about Blairs unfettered immigration? I'd say probably not much when that can be overridden by a general feeling of trust which is where Corbyn failed.
  4. I did mutter a "get in" when I saw those cunts are bottom of League 2 - there's nowt like a good football grudge.
  5. Understandable - though why would the IRA want to kill him if he wasn't involved in criminality? Doesn't excuse it of course.
  6. Do they still advocate armed struggle that side of the border? Just wondering why they're still pariahs for the other two.
  7. The polling I saw showed a parallel with the UK in that young people are mainly voting SF and older voters are sticking with the two old/main parties. I'd always got the impression that the two old parties are like a lot of countries where there are two very centrist parties who very rarely try anything radical - maybe young support for SF shows that the next generation do want change.
  8. Missing the Stone Island badge on the sleeve.
  9. Cruise ships are giant sewers of disease at the best of times.

    Pension

    When I got my first job in banking in 2003, I missed out on a final salary scheme which they'd closed 6 month beforehand. If I'd got on that I'd still be there now even if I was sweeping the floors.

    Pension

    Watch out for the shit where they want to buy an annuity - catch there is they calculate it over 35 years by assuming people live to 100 which of course they don't. Pensions are less of a scam than they used to be when life expectancy was 67 but I still think they're a con to some extent.
  12. If this turns out to be true do we take the high ground on them being evil cunts, indulge in whataboutery regarding Sheff U, Villa (Chinese being shit on human rights) and even Man City whose owners are in the same realm or do we shrug our shoulders and say fuck it? Truthfully I'm leaning towards fuck it.

    Yes Gemmill...

    Is Jordan the best then? I'd heard of Bryant but have no real sense of who he was or the context.
  14. Who reckons all the leaks that scupper the deals have the same source? Only one side is common to all of them.
  15. I had a season ticket for 26 years. I gave it up because he's a cunt.
  16. I definitely saw it after I got home but can't find it - I had a good look when he signed. That's where he committed two capital crimes in five words: "Who do want to win Steve?" "United, I mean Man United"
  17. I'm at the stage where I don't know which is worse - it's either completely bent or they actually thought he was worth 40m.
  18. Whether you think NL were a force for good or not (I actually think generally they were), there can be no argument that they incorporated facets of Thatcherism. I think the discussion should be more about the point of stating it - if its to gain kudos with the young zealots in the membership by framing it negatively then I thinks its just playing for votes and dubious, if it's to take the position that a government has to play the establishment game in this country to do anything then its fairly practical (but sad).
  19. Because any of our centre halves are better goalscorers than he is?
  20. Thatcherism to me is defined by low taxes targetted at the rich, deregulation, Union suppression, no investment in business, infrastructure and industry, property based wealth, privatisation and very low public spending. Apart from the last one we have had 40 years of it.
  21. I don't think anyone's claiming otherwise tbh. I think blaming him for brexit is a bit strong though.
