  1. You are the world’s best fan. Well done, you may rub yourself smugly now.
  2. They were on the last series of Dragons Den. One of the dragons thought they could be the next Oasis. Lol.
  3. Surely it's not an absolute scale and is relative to expectations. She might think you look less obsolete than electronics of the same age because mankind hasn't changed as quickly. For example, i'd consider a cathedral from 1982 as a recent one but a pint of milk the same age as potentially likely to be past its best.
  4. These things come in threes. VAR to get something right?
  5. I disagree. It’s just showing consideration for other people. I’ll often cross a road or speed up so I’m not tailing a woman. That’s probably sexist or something but I’d rather be sexist than get pepper sprayed.
  6. I don’t want to have unrealistic expectations so I’d settle for third next year and the title by 26/27.
  7. On the plus side, we're now officially safe from automatic relegation.
  8. Exactly. The Iranian regime is a byword for religious tolerance.
  9. They reintroduced bins on station platforms down here about ten years ago but they have to be see through. That'll fox em.
  10. Shin Ultraman (2023) Retro B movie giant alien guy fights other giant aliens. Enjoyably silly. Probably about 1/50 of the budget of Hollywood Kaiju but much more fun than recent Godzillas. I did quite enjoy some of the other aliens, but it was all a bit Saturday morning tv plot wise. 4/10
  11. This thread has too many pages to check if this is here already. Also the George Formby cover of subterranean homesick blues that was discovered by Rok TV beats the droney original.
  12. I don't know all the facts here but this very much smells of smear. If the facts, as reported, are correct, she's made a gain on selling a house that she lived in at some point and moved out of over a period from 2010 to 2015 (min 48 months, max 72 months, depending on dates in each year). To get private residence relief the house needs to have been her only or main residence. That needs to be throughout the period of ownership, except for the last 18 months where it's deemed to apply, and you can also have a period of absence of up to three years where you can be deemed resident and can elect between properties for the relief to apply. If she got married and moved out on 31 Dec 2010, so long as she's made the election and not claimed relief on the husband's property, she could entirely legitimately claim relief in full on disposals up to 30 June 2015, without even having set foot in her own/old house. As far as i can see there's no allegation that she's also claimed for another property. Only that she had another residence. Not sure that moving the news agenda onto sensible tax mitigation arrangements is going to be an overall win for the Tories.
  13. I don't know much about this guy but he reminds me of a blogger called Seth from the internet's more long form days. In science terms, i don't know how seth treated the ladies. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2023/11/20/the-rise-and-fall-of-seth-roberts-and-the-shangri-la-diet/#:~:text=On his blog and elsewhere,stick of butter a day. A US Stick of butter is about half a pack (110g).
  14. Leave the World Behind (2023) Impromptu family holiday goes downhill due to increasingly bad shit happening. Despite having some big set piece CGI moments, it seemed quite televisual and low key. It felt like it was missing a sense of threat or danger (apart from immediate threat from approaching transport) and was telling rather than showing. Some good ideas and memorable bits. Some pointless crap that went nowhere. Too much time spent on fleshing out characters that were uninteresting. I really liked the ending. 5/10
  15. Afternoon tea is taken around three and is a pot of tea with light savoury snacks and cake. high tea around 4.30 to five, usually a lighter meal which can be combined with a later supper to substitute for the more urbane dinner, taken around 6.30 to 7.30. (“Dinner” is often used as a synonym for lunch. This used to be the preserve of the lower orders but standards have dropped and it’s entered common usage in polite society.) I feel like elevenses and brunch have been sadly underrepresented in this pointless debate.
  16. Dentists making £400k profit is probably worth £2.5m, meaning Sugar lowballed him by ~£1m. Gtf was the correct response. Half of £600k cash in the bank for £250k is a good deal for Sugar; covers his downside if the pies don’t make any money. I remember when people didn’t need to pay “Sir Alan” to win
  17. The main qualities i'd be looking for in a CB would be defensive abilities somewhat in advance of blancmange. I don't care ewhere they're from. Maybe British players do develop playing in a more suitable style for the Spl. Mcdonald has been better than Jensen when he's come in, but it's marginal. We've had four Scots starting regularly recently. Which i don't think is unusually low for the league. It was a lazy trollish swipe by Tam, but it got some bites, so fair play.
  18. It's true. Most of our players aren't elite. This really isn't a massive shock. They're also mostly not Scottish. Which is obviously a disgrace. Scottish jobs for Scottish people, rebuild hadrians wall and electrify it etc. We should only hire managers that eat rowies for breakfast and have won the champions league.
  19. “Lady with scarf fingers lanky man”
