The Fish

Precisely. I see shit lie this quote-tweeted onto my twitter feed (and I'm guilty of doing the same), when that's precisely what the aim of their schtick is. Clicks. Interactions. Engagements. Like that weird spotty tory kid who, when it snowed in December, made some facetious comment about 'global warming'. He knows exactly what he's doing and will be rubbing one out as his notifications go bananas. There's seemingly no recourse. I mean Alex Jones tried to wave his stuff off as entertainment, but was rightly financially butt-fucked by the bereaved parents of the Sandy Hook victims. I had hoped that that might have given other professional trolls pause, but nope. Genuinely, I get most of my news from here. You all act like a bullshit-filter (except for transfer rumours, I'm looking at you @wykikitoon), so I fret for people like my parents who get their updates from the BBC or, increasingly, facebook.

We could always eat them?

You can export from Access. Choose External Data, then Excel.

Access is a database platform, it's not like excel. You got screen grabs?

I've used it a fair amount. What's up?

Get this facebook shit off this website! Jesus Christ, Craig. Jesus Fucking Christ.

To be fair, the news, the pandemic, the weird timing of the World Cup has made this year feel decades long.

I don't get why there'd need to be a 'special connection' to set up the supporters branch though? If 3 West Brom Fans were over in Peru and decided to set up a Baggies Branch there, they wouldn't need to fabricate a link between them and Allianza Lima, would they? It's just weird behaviour. The Friendship cup, the Feyenoord thing, Bilbao. Weird.

How biased was that commentary? Piping off Matthews the whole game.

Fucking Dinner with him? What, sitting through a 60 minute monologue about how great he is while trying to choke down a cold McDonalds. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm still staggered that there are people trying to get on board this NFT thing, when it's clearly a fucking trainwreck.

Apparently a bunch a labourers went across from shipyards in Portsmouth, Southampton and Sunderland. They created a football team over there. Someone was asked to bring some kits to Bilbao from England and they brought a couple dozen Southampton kits. Hence the red and white stripes. ... wait a second, Miners from the North East. No, that couldn't mean there's also the distinct possibility that Newcastle fans went over there at the same time as the Mackems and were just as integral in the formation of Athletic Bilbao, could it? So, anyway, there's maybe a third of a link?

Fucking Hell, that's mental.

Why do you think that?

Read a few reports about trouble with ticketing, fans not able to get into the grounds etc. And in terms of organising it, there have been quite a few deaths... Forget about the cost, the carbon footprint etc. Not sure what it's legacy will be either. It's not like Qatar have the population or grassroots interest to fill many if any of those brand new stadiums regularly.

The Winter timing is ridiculous, the way they 'won' the bid is rank. Personally, I don't think Qatar was ready to host an international tournament, let alone the World Cup. In terms of football I think it's been ... fine. I just haven't given a shit.

I was never that invested in this World Cup, just curious if anyone was/is? I don't just mean after England got knocked out, did anyone really care about it?

Hey, @Diego21 what's the scoop on this Fresneda lad?

No. What else you got?

Orrrrr provide a safe, legitimate process for asylum seekers and legal immigration so that there isn't the demand for the highly dangerous illegal routes? Just like arresting the people selling drugs on the streets, snatching up the pilots and dinghies isn't going to do shit. They're easily replaced and while it might temporarily disrupt the route, they'll just move.

Oh fuck you very much for that earworm.
