    Again, in this instance the bloke wasn’t judging, he just refused to lie based on his religious conviction which from what I can see amounted to saying “him or her” to a him or her…….I don’t think the bloke was speaking in tongues or dipping them in water ! Lol

    That’s very kind way of looking at it, and I totally get it……but, here’s the question: If you are forced to lie about something obvious, what else are you prepared to gloss over with a lie ?…….why should you be forced to lie in the first place ? Calling a him “him” isn’t violence or bullying……a self harmer isn’t decorating their body, you don’t say “what a lovely pattern”…..you say “I don’t think that’s right” and if asked why you say “Because they obviously have issues and need help because that’s hurting them” You don’t lie and say it’s all good, their choice……maybe you shoul

    I don’t think anyone is damning or condemning anyone, it’s not wrong to recognise someone has a phycological disorder and say “let’s get you some help”……to me the cruelty is reinforcing the delusion. You mention autism mate, my youngest son is autistic and guess what ?……he knows he is autistic and that means his brain functions a little bit differently and that it means he reacts differently to things in daily life…..he knows it, he understands it and he learns how to measure himself in social situations every day to make his life easier because we have talked about it with him. We

    You don’t have to judge a gender, nobody does…..there’s men and there’s women, period ! There is literally nothing to make a judgement about ! Lol
  5. 70,000 is not far off the size of the British army…….and in fact it’s “70,000 MORE…..” not just 70,000.

    Oasis

    Now, there’s a thread all on its own…….. Ill put in a shout…… ”Songs From The Big Chair” by Tears For Fears…….there’s an album that has stood the test of time imho
  7. Just when you thought it wasn’t possible for Utd to have another team spend so long in their half, in steps Moyes and says “hold my beer” lol
  8. I think that’s a very fair shout actually……I don’t think Ten Haag will last much longer, just watched that game on MOTD and Utd were an absolute shambles. I don’t think he will be judged too harshly even if he does get the sack because I think everyone knows he took over a dressing room with a load of absolute bluffers strapping on boots……but he has had two seasons is it ? to turn this around and weed out the dross and frankly, he hasn’t. There are too many players in that team nicking a living, I like the young lads like Garnacho and Mainoo and Hoijland, I even think the keeper is d
  9. All those things still count mate imho so you are as informed as anyone else.
  10. I think the answer is simple, when Liverpool played Real Madrid in the champions league final Sergio Ramos won them the game in the first 15 minutes by just hitting Sala…….Ronaldo Nazario was getting hit like that 20 times a game, every game and still was unplayable. Messi can’t do that, nor can Ronaldo……just couldn’t, end of story mate. Bu the way, no need to concede, it’s just an interesting conversation….there don’t have to be a “winner” lol
  11. Mate……just take a second to consider the defenders he was playing against
  12. Ronaldo did the business in Brazil, Holland, Spain (twice) Italy (twice), internationally 2 world cups (golden boot just to top it)……..I could copy and paste his personal honours but nobody would read it to the end, it’s too long. To me, he just can’t be compared to anyone else……I suppose the question is, if you are picking a team to win a champions league final and you have to choose, Ronaldo Nazario, Messi or Ronaldo…..who do you pick ? I don’t think any of the top managers ever would think twice, Ronaldo Nazario gets picked every time…..it’s almost not even a question imho
  13. Remember, not the modern Fanny’s game…..doing this every week against, at the time, the best defenders in the world and getting absolute chunks taken out of him all the time…….he is the fastest, most powerful running centre forward I ever witnessed with the ball at his feet ! For me, he is the best ever…..
  14. They won’t be anywhere near the proper Ronaldo, nobody’s ever will…..period ! Just look up his list of honours on wiki…….it’s like a book ! The Phenomenon was just that….a phenomenon!
  15. Badly……that’s where it’s going to end.
  16. Lost 3-1 to city but did it actually playing some football and having a go. A few mistakes and a cracking 3 goals from Haaland were the difference but we had chances ourselves did it all actually trying to play a bit of football. Breath of fresh air.

    Oasis

    Been chatting it over with my Mrs, we met at the time Oasis was big so that’s a sound track to a lot of memories. I was 23 when they released “Whats the story…..” My thoughts are, how does this 53 year old overweight bloke relate to that dashing blade of a 23 year old ?…….there’s too much risk it fucks up so many amazing memories. It was great, I had a fantastic time….I’ll leave that preserved, it has more value to me.
  18. I’m all over the minimalist approach there mate but the random scattering of kit is triggering me ! Lol
  19. Standard, they treat the bike rack at the train station in my old town like f***ing Halfords….except the bikes are free ! Lol
  20. From a trying something new perspective I think playing the likes of City etc is exactly what you want……from a trying not to get done in 10-0, maybe not so much mate !
  21. That’s called a trip to the shops most days in Ireland ! Lol
  22. For REALLY cold weather it’s a canvas hot tent…..but your bag is more important than your bivvy, with a good bag you will get away with a tarp to keep you dry. In British climate you won’t need a hot tent, it’s just a nice thing to have….a 5 season bag will cover every eventuality. Ive slept out in big storms with temps down to -6 and never been cold…..that’s a good bag, a waterproof cover and thin bivvy.
