The reality is I could probably visit every area and find very little trouble if I didn't act like an idiot. This is true. Aye the biggest issue for most loudmouth Trump supporters is that their posts are being censored on social media 12 minutes ago, Gaz said: I see Ladbrokes have stopped taking bets. What are the other bookies saying about it? Biden's hovering between 1/50 and 1/33 at Sky Bet. Then again, The Undertaker was 1/33 at Wrestlemania 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sox fans racially abusing their own players, horrible accents (bit like East coast accents being shite here) and just overall a quite uncomfortable city to visit.

I was in an italian restaurant in Orlando (in kinda upmarket mall which is popular with tourists call Millenia) and the waiter was quite taken with the fact we were Scottish, asking us loads of questions but eventually it became a bit insulting ‘do you guys get buffet restaurants?’ ‘Do you guys have wifi?’ I dead pan replied ‘whats wifi’ cue the fucker pulling his iphone out and explaining wifi for what seemed like ages (which to be fair made me suffer far more). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in a bar and was chatting to a few costumers, one of them asked how I got there, I sarcastically replied I drove... what followed was several questions of how and my mate winding them up about a trans Atlantic under water tunnel connecting Ireland to New York..

Shitehole of a city. They think we’re all irish. We went for breakfast one day at a place that was described as a ‘scottish restaurant’, it was fucking awful, they served fried mashed potato and called it tottie scone and their ‘lorne sausage’ was made from pork. Fenway was good to go and watch a baseball game, but the fans were scum, the bars in the area around it are shite too. Quincy Market and tour at Harvard were quite good but not enough to make me ever want to visit again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 3 hours ago, Monkey Tennis said: Only the first of those applies in this case I'm afraid. The point is a serious one though. Even in states that hugely favour Trump, there will be people, millions of them in fact, who utterly reject what he's about. Some will belong to groups absolutely marginalised and threatened by his behaviour; some will be activists, devoted to causes which oppose his; while all will be absolutely horrified by his current antics. It's a dangerous game to dismiss people based on where they're from. Just ask a Mexican rapist. Obviously you're right and I've been going on about how Biden got 35%-40% in the most Republican states. But in 2015 we spent a week in the Norfolk Broads and I'm not having another holiday in Breixtland any time soon. 2 hours ago, welshbairn said: Bit of info here, could be if the military vote goes Trump it could be balanced out by overseas voters going Biden. Squeeky bum time, now being offered 1.64 on my 1.83 bet, but it keeps going up and down. Have you cashed in yet? https://www.militarytimes.com/pay-benefits/2020/11/06/today-is-the-deadline-for-georgia-military-ballots-will-they-make-a-difference-in-the-election/ No, getting offered the same as you. I keep watching the Georgia results and the cash-out, and it's still alright. Biden's lead is 7,248 just now and that's beyond the range of realistically getting overturned in a recount. If it falls again though I'll be mashing refresh. 2 hours ago, LongTimeLurker said: A sizable portion of the population is driven by visceral level emotion, does not think rationally and laps this sort of stuff up. The left has its own versions of this type of drivel (a Swedish teenager immediately comes to mind), so it isn't just a right wing phenomenon.

Thick people. People who believe in QAnon. Fortunately not too many of them are judges. His big issue is that his lawyers will be up against administrators who are as likely to be Republican as Democrat. His lawyers will also need to explain why all these fake votes still supported Republicans for Senate and the House. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
