Part of my masters in health and safety was looking at farmers, it’s the most hazardous industry in the country. That’s statistically true. Now think of all the things you have seen at work, I’m talking to the rope swingers etc here. The reason farming is the most dangerous industry in the uk is that they think they know better and do stupid shit. They thought they knew better regarding brexit, they thought they know better regarding H&S legislation, well now they might know better than the uk government but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I can’t recommend deleting Twitter enough, it’s a cesspit that is designed to keep you doom scrolling. You get fed enough things that you’re interested in to keep you hooked, but it also feeds you lots of this shit designed to anger or annoy you. You can argue algorithm all you want, echo chamber all you want, it’s full of musk/russian controlled bots destabilising the west and common sense. It’s appealed to the lowest comment denominator and won. It’s lowered the terms of debate and without overblowing it, it’s a cancer on society. Deleted it years ago, got involved in local issues with social enterprises that help people. Look after my friends and loved ones. The rest of the world will burn. There is not much else we can we do.

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

One this pops into my head semi regularly about that Sunderland show. When they are giving Chris Coleman shit outside the stadium and a fan calls him a cunt, his response is completely mental. ”Cunt am I? I’ve got 6 six kids” Wtf has that got to do with anything? -

His mates or whoever filmed him are scum like. What gets said when you're on the bags never gets brought, up never mind filmed and posted online. He was right about Klopp too -

Against all the strong competition, Keown is the thickest cunt involved in football

That Todibo who people were wanting us to spend loads on in the summer is fucking dog eggs, played against better semi pro players

Alma’s not normal is a decent, very by the numbers 30 minute episode laugh. Sophie is a nice lass too

The one that gets me is “there will be no/smaller pay rises due to this budget” what fucking pay rises? Everyone in the country has had 12 odd years of real terms pay cuts, if they have managed to wangle a pay rise from their employer

Eddies play shit n win or play well n lose mags vs Cole Palmer
strawb replied to Andrew's topic in Newcastle Forum
This is probably the 40 year old in me. But having watched how we are trying to play this season, it’s not much different from the season we finished 4th. The difference is the players aren’t performing, Isak missing chances he wouldn’t have missed, Gordon being off the boil, Bruno has been shite all season, Joelinton not winning any duels the whole season. The players to a man, in my mind, have been shite. It’s easy to blame the manager in situations like this, but I bet my mortgage that Howe and the coaching staff haven’t change much in what they are doing day to day. So when do the players take responsibility? Im also open to the possibility that the players have been unsettled in numerous ways, and don’t buy that players are robots who can play well despite the noise. But there has to be a sense of person responsibility for all players, if you are playing worse than previously for no obvious reason that surely that’s on you personally? The manager will probably end up carrying the can for it, but there’s some lads in our team who aren’t pulling their weight and they need to look at themselves. -
He was at the Luton match the other day man
