Why do I get the feeling that if, in 5 years time we all concluded that this was a good thing after all, you'd argue that it wasn't?

He is, however, 100% right about scientific progress and endeavour being thwarted by religion and the moralistic codes we have established as a result of it. America in particular struggles in this respect.

Funny, but somewhat optimistic about the state of the human condition. I always felt that without religion, we'd be killing each other for other things anyway. And I think we've proven this over time (oil). That said, on the ground level, religion is the thing that motivates people to commit wrongdoings. Well, that and nationalism/racism. And money. And politics. I just think we're collectively fucking useless no matter which way you spin it.

Wait, his lung collapsed twice? How often in a single lifetime can one's lung collapse before someone takes you to one side and tells you that you probably aren't cut out for this footballing lark.

I lived in Leeds for 3 years while at uni and fuck all ever happened to me. Must be cos I'm nails... /Gemmill

Would a lone wolf go for you though?

Gloom is seriously uncomfortable about the bears it has to be said...

Next thing we'll hear about this is a report in the papers. "Newcastle born man mauled by black bear - attempt of escape on hoverboard proved futile but other family members were able to walk to safety at a leisurely pace"

Jonty...?

can't argue with that last bit in fairness.

If anyone has 10 mins going spare I strongly recommend the first ten or so pages of this thread. The ribbing CT gets for his metal detecting and digging up some random old handle is superb, but is topped off by the Fish's infamous frozen grapes moment, introduced seemingly out of nowhere. This forum has to have one of the best communities out there, like. Does CT even still do this metal detecting lark?

I think we've done the hoverboarding thing to death Although it's still your avatar pic which is noteworthy in and of itself. I'm not massively fussed on superhero films although I did enjoy the dark knight. They're all too formulaic for me these days. In the absence of Hollywood coming out with anything better though, what choice do we have? EDIT - not that I'm in a position to judge anyone given that I still enjoy the odd anime

Good post, thanks for that.

So half of the business I work for has been playing it, and I walk past multiple people on the way home, people out for a run, guys in suits, students, all sorts of people - all playing it. I'm not going to go so far as to say this is a 'good sign' for society, but it's widespread.

You're probably not wrong, but who isn't an absolute fucking moron from time to time?

That stuff with Smith today is fucking ridiculous. 'Aggressive language against women' ffs. Although I'm not surprised the Corbyn campaign jumped on it after the great brick throwing crisis of the other week...

I didn't want it to seem like the ONLY reason I was out walking was for pokemon.
