  5. British "Super" League

    in Other Football

    Posted

    Won't happen but part of me would like to see them go - even in a bad season Celtic have won 21/35 matches, would their fans be hap py to spend 4/5 season in the bottom half of the Superleague?

    4/5 seasons where they might miss out on European football - that would be a glorious irony!

  10. Back Into Hell - Maybe

    All them karaoke klassix - to many to name.

     A bit hit'n'miss but it's the hits we'll remember- Bat out of Hell producer Todd Rundgren still maintains the album was a joke" saying "I can’t believe the world took it seriously”.

    In the end though who could fail to love a producer who worked with both The Sisters of Mercy & Take That? 

    RIP Jim

    Aye, we shouldn't see these people as "saints" or over dramatize their criminal activity.

    A recent news item had a 13 year old black child shot with his hands in the air by a policeman.

    Shocking and looked like this was a massive over reaction.

    The "boy", seemingly, had a gun which he'd thrown away, so, again, no need to shoot him.

    Underneath this, this happened in the early hours of the morning, between 2:00 am and 3:00 am, you have to ask WTF was a 13 year old doing at that time and with a gun? 

    Did he deserve to be shot and die, certainly not, but if he hadn't been out and about with a gun he wouldn't have died.

    Tragic all round IMO. 

    (All of the above is from snippets I seen on the news, can't be arsed researching any more, it won't change the important issue here)

    Me and Greta say just stay at home...

    Gibraltar and Israel are among the most likely destinations to be placed on a green list of countries which it will be easiest to travel to, a former strategy chief at British Airways owner IAG says.

    Robert Boyle says told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that, judging by the UK government's criteria, it might be a "very short list".

    As well as Israel and Gibraltar, which have vaccinated most people, countries such as Australia and New Zealand may be placed on the UK's green list but are not likely to allow entry at the other end.

    Places like Iceland, Ireland and Malta have a good chance of being on the green list and maybe the US, he says.

    France has high levels of infection, while rates in places such as Spain and Greece are not so bad but still above the UK rate, so Boyle says he would not put them on a green list.

    But for those wanting to get away this summer he adds that airlines will "move heaven and earth" to put flights on to places travellers are allowed to go to.

    Maybe the USA, all the virus you can eat...

    The king of irony, who is known for a few things, one of them is people living off the state and not taking responsibility for their own life.

    Never mind, keep it up, you do make me laugh, at you. 😂

     Many artists in the past chose to live on benefits long term. One example is KT Tunstall admitting she had been on the dole for 9 years before finding musical success. This is what she said

    Quote

    "I chose to stay on the dole so I could be a musician. It took nine years but I never stopped believing. I knew I couldn’t take a job even as a waitress because I had to put all my time and energy into writing, making music, doing little gigs. Between the ages of 21 and 28, all I had was my dole cheque of £52 a week. I remember very clearly not having the money for a 26p stamp and another time I put on a balaclava while my boyfriend at the time pinched some broccoli from a farmer’s field. My mum still hasn’t forgiven me for that."

    Actually fuck it get the workshy bastards shot...:fire

    Pedant Alert:  21 → 28 is only 7 years

    n 2020 493 people became billionaires and 150 million people fell into extreme poverty. Billionaires gained $3.9 trillion while workers lost $3.7 trillion.

     @Bud the Baker you supported the rich eating the poor 

    No I didn't, I identified this as an issue that had to be addressed a year ago - before you had even adopted your current username Cap'n :rolleyes:.

    A year on and there is the hope that Biden's proposal that all G20 countries adopt a minimum rate of Corporation Tax might be the first step in reducing the inequality we see.

    I still say "Eat the Rich" because I know the real cause of poverty at home and in the world at large is down to them and not fur'ners as Boris and his ever richer chums tell us - a distraction happily repeated by lickspittle reactionaries like yourself.

    I look forward to your next hypocritical post on the topic - not.
