Some Egyptian possibly trudged through the 80s, (480 ad) wearing this, probably an agricultural person as traces of cherry tomato was found in it as well as button mushrooms. Fascinating.

I know it's done the rounds many times but this still makes me laugh

36! Fucking hell who let this nipper into the adults section!?

like his entrance music was going to come on just before Biden raised his hand and George W Bush was going to start yelling "bah gawd thats DONALD TRUMPS MUSIC"

It’s hard to disagree with Gloom.

More than anything it was the BBC who failed us. The FT isn't read by the sorts of people who needed to be persuaded and the gutter press weren't going to do us any favours. Kuensberg has a lot to answer for as the BBC's lead political editor. Along with Marr. And whoever it was at the BBC who decided to leave Johnson pretty much unchallenged despite all his bullshit. Piers bloody Morgan is doing a better job of holding the government to account for their bullshit than the BBC are for crying out loud.

First deep fake of the Biden era! Just looked up and that was actually Barry from Eastenders singing at the 2014 World Indoor Bowls championship in Great Yarmouth, a much more significant occasion.

I note the new manager has a regulation mackem nickname ‘LJ’. Fucking LJ. Why do they do this?…. Either a shite nickname or a bizarre use of the first name: MON, Parky, Jack, Simon, Quinny, Reidy, Keano, Bally, even Wilko. Needy fucks.

I love how often FOOTBALL fans are supposed to get into whatever NON-FOOTBALL activity some knacker thought would be great when the FOOTBALL fans have just went to a FOOTBALL game in a FOOTBALL stadium to watch the FOOTBALL and don't give a fuck at best, give abuse at worst whatever shite said knacker has dreamt up for their 'entertainment'.

You generalised about the media when you rendered them blameless but that’s ok. And you've given one example to back that up, using a station where the likes of Farage and Hopkins got equal billing.

The phrase ‘hung like a Chinese mouse’ springs to mind

Rather that, than needing one to find my cock

Really? You must be the only one who thinks the media have done a good job communicating what Brexit means. The media are as complicit as the tories in the fall of this country. Half of them poisoning peoples minds and the other half either not bothering to understand the issues and/or providing a platform for the fascists on the basis of "fairness".

Yeah, we definitely need a crèche where the under 40s can talk about tamagotchis, Drake, twerking and whatnot.

That's the Cuban ex-pat influence. They believed the communist argument, which would have (apparently) led to a rapprochement with Cuba and all that would entail. Also, probably a lot of them (especially the undocumented ones) probably work for him.

All pundits, colour commentators and radio host etc aren’t really there to commentate on the game or the teams. They are just there to get interactions from pissed off fans. It gets fans backs up, in turn it makes them ring into radio stations or tweet at sky sports or motd or whatever. If they were there to commentate there would be one bloke telling people what’s happening, not a gaggle of cunts with shite opinions. Especially at half time when they roll out a whose who of has beens or never beens to tell us we know nowt about football. If they came out and said what was obvious to anyone with eyes, that we are shite and have gone backwards under Bruce. Everyone would agree, no controversy and no interactions.

They can show genuine passion about a club not doing as well as they have done in the past and try and get into the nitty gritty but that by some strange reason only applies to clubs they were at for years? How bizarre! Any other club? It's a virtual 'aye, whatevs'.

A Spinal Tap moment for Saxon

He's also 16th on the all time list for assists. Plus most of his time he wasn't playing for a team challenging for the title.

He was making a living within the EU but thought his life would be better out of it - just like knackers who work in car factories who fucking knew it was dependent on jit manufacturing. Just like the people of Lincolnshire who hated the Eastern European farm workers but wouldn't do the jobs when they left. There was a lot of shite propaganda but fuck me they still have to own it which is why this let's all forgive and forget bullshit leaves me cold.

It's the narrow world view of most brits that is exposed - we take the piss out of Americans without passports but far too many British people have no interest in anything beyond going to Spain for a fortnight - that's why bemoaning mainly young people being denied freedom of movement meant nowt to leave voters. Another thing that never entered their minds was simple things like buying things from abroad. I've bought some electronics from the US and from Hong Kong or China in the past and have accepted the ball ache of customs and vat by including it in the price but obviously it being a thing for EU countries is new. "If it doesn't affect me it doesn't matter" is the mantra.

How is Gemmill, did you say?

It also means he's oblivious to the whole point of the job he's doing on a call in. Or are the call ins supposed to just be for ex pro's to call?

Aye it's fucking pathetic. It's like an accountant asking someone pointing out a an error in arithmatic if they've ever added up professionally.

No. You can zoom the words now with your fingers you know. Takes ages like, especially when your fingers are arthritic.

Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, 50 First Dates. They were alright.

DK was there opening night for Jack and Jill

We were told there would be tariff free access. Most people wouldn't equate that to huge customs and VAT charges.

I like Clark, he's the kind of "get stuck in" type defender you need near the bottom, but I do get the feeling that he's the sort of player that if he stays in our first XI we'll always be limited to the bottom 6 clubs, a general mentality and ability combination. I say this as if there's a grand plan for us to push up the league, but still!

You've got to be questioning what they were watching in training to even put him on the bench. I was playing Under 10s football at the time and I reckon I'd have been a better shout.

So much good stuff...

More Bad News than Spinal Tap

You forgot their favourite cult hero of recent years - paedo

I think that was the match when Shearer was shouting to the bench something like “get him off! He’s shite” about two minutes after Fumaca came on as sub

Big Joe would still be working out which was the opposite direction!

Ciaran Clark has signed a new two year deal. I mean, cool I guess.

To me, that's Redknapp's way of saying, "No one used to be able to call us on our bullshit, now people have greater access to information and are proving that most of us pundits have been bullshitting this whole time." Or something like that...

A rogue one, as well.

Had a chat with my dad the other day, see how him and my mam are getting on, moan about NUFC etc and talking about vaccine etc and if they've had a letter yet as they're both in their 70's and also mentioned that my eldest had had one. Anyway, he said he'd much rather the likes of me had it, (people who have to go to work), than themselves, (need to get the economy going), and he was reading in the paper a German 'expert' slaughtering the German (or French!), response to the vaccine rollout and how good a job it was that Johnson had hot us out and we're doing much better than Europe as they have to all agree and if one dithers the rest can't do anything. We also completely invented the vaccine and ours is better than the others and we're lucky we're not in Europe as we'll hopefully get it quicker. I've barely seen them both so I wasn't going to start an argument so managed a quick 'not sure about that, dad' and changed the subject. Dad's not a racist gammon, he's ex-army but not your typical 'our boys' type but he was a labour voter but around twenty + years ago switched from the mirror to the daily mail and occasionally the sun. It's not a quick process it's more a long drip drip effect but it's sad to see it as he's a genuinely lovely, helpful bloke who really would go the extra mile to help out. He's no gammon, more a boxer from animal farm if anything. I fucking hate the newspapers we have in this country, they're insidious, sheer poison. They voted Brexit so the long term poison worked. Lament over.

'Homeless shelters can turn away queer teenagers'. Like FFS, that's just being evil for the sake of it.

I don't remember anything his playing career other than he always seemed to be injured. More famous for marrying a singer tbh.

Aye Warner seems to be on the decline and then the rest of their batsman have been very average. That might change to an extent if Puckovski and Green can deliver on their potential. Both are averaging over 50 in first class cricket and have made decent starts to their Test careers too. Green is taking wickets at 25 too. He's not took an international wicket yet but if he can transfer that then they'll have the all rounder they've been crying out for year for. Both teams look like they have some potentially very good young batsmen coming through.

On the topic of Fumaca, there's a funny article on thefalsenine, my favourite quote being: "Aside from a 4-1 FA Cup Fourth Round victory over Sheffield United - in which the Brazilian ran in the opposite direction of the ball for the sum total of four minutes" big Joe has his issues but at least it's not that bad.

And he had, what, 2 career threatening injuries? 260/441, if he hadn't missed 1/2 seasons in 97/98 and 00/01 he could have added another 20+ goals to that tally. Batistuta said this; "I know at first hand how fierce the gladiatorial battles are between a striker and defenders. So, to maintain your performance as a top class goalscorer over a long period of time takes phenomenal dedication, self belief and enormous willpower. If you then throw in a number of serious injuries...how many? Three? And for the man to still be producing at the highest level is really an amazing feat. After a match against Juventus I met Alex Del Piero who like myself could only speak in the most glowing of terms about Shearer. He'd terrorised the Juve defenders when the clubs met in Newcastle. They found him one of the most difficult opponents they had ever faced. The coach Marcello Lippi had been purring about Shearer's performance. So much so that his strikers Alex, David (Trezeguet) and Marcelo (Salas) were ordered to take home videos and study Shearer's display." — Gabriel Batistuta on his admiration of Shearer, February 2003.[55]

There's an age thing at work here, I think. Also, an inability to value the skill, ability and footballing intelligence it takes to be the League's top goal scorer. I've genuinely heard someone denigrate Shearer by saying "Well, he just scores goals". As if that's the easiest thing in football, instead of the hardest.

She’s got an army of sad sack arseholes defending and fawning her every move and every time she posts a picture, they all gather round to bash one out. Despite her appearances on the podcast showing that she actually looks like something out of Lord of the Rings
