Surprised we got this late in the year without talking about Geese
Getting Killed is incredible. I saw them at End of the Road in like 2021, 2? They walked out and we were like "oh my god, they're children". Astonishing for their age. World is at their feet
I dunno man, just because something upsetting has happened, doesn't give you license to pick up a rock and clart someone. I personally don't believe we get to pick and choose when the social contract and the law applies to us
I've had this conversation before so I know few agree with me here, but if he played for one of our opponents, we would not be so generous in our assessment imho
It's good to see him take some accountability, but I know it's not a popular opinion, but I think we'd pillory another team if we went down when they continued to play a player sentenced to jail for cracking someone's head open. The whole thing just has never sat right with me, and as fantastic a player as he has been for us, it makes me think less of him.
Linkedin is currently awash with people saying "move to Dubai for 0% income tax".
Putting aside I couldn't really wake up every day in a country where I say "where's my passportless slave with my coffee?"
I can't really imagine the mindset of wanting everything and contributing nothing?
Like, even the great industrial capitalists of the 18th & 19th century built houses for their workers.
We've had low productivity in the UK since 2008. And the answer is that the services that gave people peace of mind have been eroded and their pay has absolutely stagnated whilst their boss has gotten exponentially richer. People are stressed and stretched.
All whilst our politics has been 14 years of the Tory party publicly settling scores instead of trying to help people, followed by a Labour party whose sole aim in life is to be the metaphorical Regional Manager.
It's home, and it's great but the rich and powerful have pushed ordinary people to breaking point where they flock to Reform and Greens because the establishment parties answer only to the bond markets
When I was a kid I thought the we were fighting Iraq cos they cheated at a golf tournament, and that the soldier couldn't see each other because of the stormy conditions
Obviously grew up with two Irish parents, but being from Cork and Galway, I'd never been to Dublin till I was an adult with my now wife who's from there.
Her mum lived in Dun Leary at the time, but I found it weird it was never on any of the road signs. So I asked my missus if it was anywhere near this Dún Laoghaire place?
Have never lived down the Plastic Paddy allegations
There was a great story in Popbitch about Peter Kay. Apparently he's infamously tight
"he told an arena he was playing that he wanted a pound for every car parked in their car park. The management replied that it was an unusual request and not something they'd ever done before; to which he trotted out his well-worn line that punters wouldn't be parking there if he wasn't on, so he deserves a share, etc.
Eventually they concede and the demand is folded into the contract. Come settlement time, the comedian is poring over the details with a fine-tooth comb and sees a figure of £8 a night listed under 'Additional Revenue'. Further investigation reveals this is the car parking money he angled for.
£8? For an entire arena? Are they having a laugh? No, they tell him. He asked for a pound for every car that parked in their car park, and the arena has eight spaces in the loading bay. The big car park he'd had his eye on? That was owned and operated by NCP, outside the venue's control..."
