When I worked at Virgin, the absolute arsehole of a CEO (Jayne-Anne Gadhia) invited George "Austerity" Osborne to do a talk to the entire business. They had people walking the floors to make sure everyone attended. I stayed at my desk cos I'm nails. She would tell stories about Branson and think it was absolutely hilarious that he didn't know about basic features of everyone's lives* and not a sign of how out of touch the absolute prick was. He turned up once and regaled us all with the story of how he lied and blagged his way to buying a Caribbean Island to try and impress a girl. Cool story dickhead. *it's annoying me that I can't think of an exact example but they were about 100 times worse than someone rich not knowing the price of a pint of milk.

Classic horse person patter. I'm absolutely convinced that horses can shit in the street cos it's mostly the posh that ride horses. They've got us all running around picking up tiny little dog shits, whilst their horse can lift its tail and drop half a ton of dump in the middle of a footpath and they just keep on trotting along. And I know it's fertiliser, but it's not fucking fertilising concrete is it. They should be made to carry a refuse sack and a shovel.

The Aussies have sent a TOTAL BOGAN for this diving competition. Classic Aussie mullet and covered in tattoos. @LongTimeAdmirer

It's TOM DALEY time.

Toonpack asked for recommendations and you were NOWHERE.

This bloke's daily preview threads are a good guide to timings and where to look for possible GB medals.

If she does, it'll be a sign that she knows her career as a mainstream politician is over. If she hangs around, I'd guess it would be because she thinks there'll be another leadership competition before the next election. Which with this lot is a perfectly reasonable assumption.

The only time I've had that experience was when I worked for PwC and they had Matthew Pinsent as a speaker, talking about teamwork. He brought his Olympic medals and passed them around the room for everyone to have a look at / hold of. It was good tbf. I could see how a child having that experience might have something awoken in them. Didn't work for 20 something me.

It was a shame he didn't win like. Mad that they swam 3 seconds slower than when he was at his peak. Shows just how unbeatable he was at that time. I thought he handled himself well, swam straight over to the lad that beat him to congratulate him. The slow times might also be a function of the pool depth - it's only 2 metres vs 3 metres at recent Olympics. Apparently the waves bouncing back off the bottom make it a slow pool. Which makes it a mad decision to purpose build a slow pool for an Olympics.

This idiot can't get the nominations. That's the problem here.

What's she saying like?

Just discovered that the Dutch have a convicted child rapist competing for them in the beach volleyball.

Please. Expand on this analogy.

FYI: Harry and Benjamin are different words.

Benjamin Monk threatening to replace Pineapple Chunk as my go-to rhyming slang for spunk.

Shout out to AbsoluteKazakh btw, who joined on 1st August 2008, started this thread on 7th August 2008, and hasn't been seen since 17th August 2008. Police are appealing for witnesses. He lives on in this thread and in our hearts.

FAO any new parents on here.

Totally agree that you can't have coppers behaving like this, and you can't set a precedent of saying that it's fine because there are a load of knobs in the coppers that will start trying to test the boundaries of what's ok. We've got enough that are already doing things that are the wrong side of OK anyway. But I hope the two lads on the video that decided they'd kick fuck out of some coppers get the book thrown at them. And also fuck their ambulance chasing, race war stoking, domestic violence supporting, Andrew Tate admiring lawyer - the one that ran against Shabana Mahmood in Birmingham and thought he'd win cos he had a big tiktok following. Prick.

The kid should be away to prison. Punching female police offers. Prick.

Just seen the video there. I'm not certain anyone deserves to be booted in the face or have their head stamped on, but if anyone ever did, it was that kid. By the time it happened, he'd put two (I think) female coppers on the floor with punches to the face, and had ran over and laid into a male officer who had already been set upon by his mate. Little cunt.

Escalating the passive aggressive social media war with his lass.

The Guardian is reporting it. Not sure anywhere else is.
