adios

Happy to see Rafa's moved things around to accommodate Colback.

So does that not mean that Newcastle are due at least £70m in broadcasting fees next year? ETA: Oh, looks like it's now close to £100m? 78% btw, wtf were they thinking?

That's fucking rank. I hope the real thing is a little more subtle.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in here yet, but I thought The Night Manager was superb after a somewhat slow episode near the start (second?). Top quality acting and an engrossing plot.

Anyone seen Macron's had his email hacked? Can't be good and has to be the Russians at this point. Where the fuck are Anonymous/Wikileaks. Bunch of feckin' script kiddies on our side.

Yeah, new blood innovates, old blood stagnates. At the very least Banks should be in public hands, not sure what other industries should join them. They do fuck all for the economy, it's stuff like blockchain creating the future of finance, and they have fuck all to do with it except reacting to it with fear. Guys like Musk are changing power consumption, so we want an environment for them to flourish, but traditional utilities providers are just leeches that give nothing back. And, unsurprisingly, I agree with @@Renton on the need for (massive) wealth redistribution. It's not like Gates would have innovated any less if he was only to be worth $40 billion.

What's the alternative? I'm with @@Renton on mixed economy. The problem isn't Capitalism, it's Corporatism/Cronyism. Extending your analogy, it's a problem of balance. We need symbiosis.

I think we'll see a few we don't particularly want to see next season as backup, given the huge overhaul that's needed won't be done in one window. Gouffran's not even on that list for me. Don't mind him as backup.

30 games in the Championship. Can't see him being kept on as anything other than backup, at least I fucking hope not.

I'll defo check him out then, cheers.

I like his curmudgeonly ways so I might check it out. Did just watch half an hour of his standup though, and it didn't really seem to be about anything. What are his more controversial views?

Choooon. Fond memories of when I didn't even know what that song was about.

This is one time I'm glad to have nfi what you're talking about. Take it to the kiddies' thread, please.

Multiple times.

Megan Fox, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Anniston are apparently all trannies (as are probably 90% of the world's hottest women). I didn't make it far enough into the video to find out who that is, but ditto. All aboard the tranny train!

I assume we're all familiar with the Transgender Agenda? (A winner on the name alone)

Reading some of Wolfy's posts and that forum in general, there seems to be a contradictory thread running through their thought processes. That they won't believe anything that can't be shown to them in person while choosing to believe the flimsiest explanations for those that can. Wolfy's ability to disbelieve space trig unlike verifiable Earth trigonometry on one hand and yet believing in the power of positive thought to cure serious illness because someone once lasted 2 hours beyond a prognosis on the other.

Was he a legitimate flat earther? I like to think that particular conspiracy was created by trolls, populated by trolls and only supplemented by the seriously mentally ill. Or it's created by Them to discredit the real conspiracies.

I think I was, aye. Can you link to that forum, please? I can't wait to hear the opposing theory.

For those of you with a concentration span of less than 5 minutes. Think about it.

Fucking hell.

Typical globoids.

We'll probably always wonder how Labour with a strong pro-EU stance and a competent leader would have done.

It's about simple solutions to complex problems, people are scared and angry. The UK doesn't have a viable anti-establishment party, does it? UKIP were toast once the Tories went for a hard Brexit. I do agree with you that Corbyn has made it worse, but Labour were pretty fucked anyway.
