Played them in the cup last year no?

They're practising drawing us away at Liverpool

Worst post in the history of foxestalk

wtf. That is atrocious.

Yeah all these posts are a bit weird considering their better stuff was released under a Conservative government and the New Labour years were possibly the absolute nadir in British popular culture. I think a lot of people just associate the 90s and Britpop with Blair.

It's becoming clearer every day she was forced out by the deep state with their shady anti-cancer agenda

Bulgaria represent

come on the Orient

Very annoying, like spilling your coffee

An obvious one but people who put their calls on loud speaker. Like I'm happy for you that your little one can say "tiger" now and your brother in law Erik is finalizing the renovation on his house in Chiswick but I don't necessarily need to know this as I'm travelling through Hertfordshire on an overcrowded train with no working toilets.

Thought that was Stolarczyk

The vibes are definitely off

44% according to wiki, so closer to 1 in 2 than 1 in 3.

My pet theory is that anxiety over social media and phone usage is higher in Anglo countries because we find it harder to accept there are fundamental flaws in our societies and economic models. So we tell ourselves that problems will go away if we simply control what information people have access to.

Perhaps. I think the vibes matter - the sense of life improving of getting worse. The vibes are quite bad in the UK right now compared to when we were young. I think social media helps spread that but it isn't the root cause.

I think also young people have more to be anxious about these days than when I was growing up.

You've articulated well something I've wondered about for a while. Not specifically about young people but society in general. My partner, who's not originally from Britain, has often remarked that she feels more anxious here than at home, partly in her mind because there's much more awareness and discussion of mental health here. I also vaguely remember a study from the University of Cambridge last year that suggested suppressing negative thoughts may actually be better for mental health than discussing them.

Instinctively I'd agree it's down to overuse of social media but it'd be interesting to see if there are similar trends in other countries where social media use will probably be at the same levels as in the UK.

His win rate was pretty good I think. Don't think he would've got us up but we often very good under him. Other than that his career speaks for itself and from mid 80s to 2000 he did fantastic things at club level. I think his character and reputation off the pitch made people forget that a little bit.

Been twice in the last six months. I love it. Great food, loads too see, great vibe. Big bustling city that still has a soul in a way London doesn't.

A fantastic career and a life well lived. He will be remembered fondly.
