Gordon has been liftin tonight.

Bowen is a brilliant player mind. Pissing away his career playing for West Ham.

Need a bit more composure on the ball, we don’t have to always play at 100 mph.

The books they are based on are class too. Written by a geordie (Mick Herron) too. The TV series is one of the best adaptations I’ve seen.

If it makes you feel better, I fucking hate the fact that we are a Monarchy but I choose to live, work and pay my taxes in England. I don’t see any contradiction there as I respect the fact that probably the majority of people in this country disagree with me and are in favour of keeping The Royal Family.

My own personal opinion but James McClean’s reasons for not wearing the poppy are all entirely reasonable. I don’t understand why anyone gets upset at him not wearing one, it’s personal choice, nobody should be forced to wear one. Sounds like he thought Sunderland were a bunch of cunts too so he’s alright by me.

Livramento has been poor defensively this season.

It’s everywhere in Italy. It was in the fridge alongside the smoothies in a cafe I went to in Rome. Maybe they consider it a health tonic.

I believe they personalise the adds based on your search history.

Dear lord, just when I think you’ve finally plumbed the depths of depravity you prove me wrong.

Likewise. Having worked in financial services my entire career (I use the term career very loosely), while it may take up of half of my time, it certainly isn’t half my life. I have next to no emotional attachment to work aside from the visceral hatred of some of the arseholes I have to work with.

Fucking Tonali, his pass completion percentage today has been woeful.

Agreed, Big Joe is dominating them. In fact our midfield three are miles on top. Just a shame we haven’t committed Young yet.

Congratulations to anyone who makes it to the end of this. I tapped out after 15 seconds. Who watches this utter utter shite?

Other people may have been to Madeira and enjoyed it. I doubt it though. In fairness, I got off to a bad start as my wife had booked us a surprise holiday for my birthday. She only told me the rough time of the flight and the airport. After some research, I had it in my head that we were going to Côte d’Azur as there was a flight to Nice at that time. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the check-in desk to find out that we were flying to Funchal and that all the other passengers looked like extras from Jason and the Argonauts. I have been to the Côte d’Azur since and can confirm that it is a significant step up from Madeira.

We went a few years ago. The landscape is stunning but it is a fucking boring Island. The average tourist there is about 90 years old too. It’s also not that warm and it rains a lot. The main city (Funchal) felt a bit run down. That said, there is a Cristiano Ronaldo museum which is as snidey as the man himself. We ended up just getting mortal on Poncha as there wasn’t much else to do.

I’m convinced that messageboard is just some sort of Care in the Community scheme. I reckon there are only three people on there posting from multiple accounts. There surely can’t be that many oddballs (and by oddballs, I mean fuckwits) kicking around the Sunderland area.

To pay for all the clobber you bought in the shop? All the while giving it the whole “this is technically legal tender chat”. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Couldn’t agree more. The trick is not to get too invested in work. You’re contractually obliged to do your job and the company are contractually obliged to pay you for doing your job, that’s it. I’ve been working for my current company for 13 years and I won’t give it a second thought the day after I leave. They can get to fuck as soon as they are no longer paying me. Mind you, my job is as pointless as they come.

Agreed. French passport holder since 2020. Willing to bet there aren’y many froggies with ‘Lieu de naissance: Consett’ in their passport.

Having been to Uni, I can quite confidently say the the cleaners are comfortably more intelligent than the majority of the students.

Dear lord! I know the posh sounding bloke in the 3rd video. He’s an arsehole. His name is Barnaby and he is very much as you would expect any bloke called Barnaby to be. I did like the Korean bloke’s dance when they equalised though.

Haven’t seen a single Dominos, proper shithole.

In Rome at the moment. Pretty much every cafe and bar sells bottles of Tennents Super, very odd. I think it is considered a craft beer here rather than it’s true purpose of keeping tramps warm.

For the sake of this forum, please go back, we all miss hearing about your workplace tales of woe!
