Was just going by the signs and paraphernalia around the pub and the clientele, didn't know about the events but I can imagine. As a pub I love it though.

Albanians are not known for their modesty when it comes to their country which I'm sure you figured out. I haven't spent much time on the coast but yeah looks amazing and probably 20 years ago you could find some incredible unspoilt parts. I think it's quite hip these days.

Slovenia is beautiful but it's not truly the Balkans. For me the Balkans is more or less everything within the red line, plus Istanbul which I somehow missed when drawing the line: If I had to choose my favourite parts I'd go: - Sarajevo and Bosnia in general. - Prizren and Tetovo and the mountains between. - Ohrid and Prespa. - Southern Albania especially Gjirokaster and the area round there - Anywhere in northern Greece but especially Epirus - Rodopi part of Greece - Pirin mountains in Bulgaria - Rodopi mountains in Bulgaria - North west of Bulgaria but we're getting very esoteric there, very little transport and indeed any kind of infrastructure but totally unspoilt mountain ranges and obscure medieval monasteries. - Edirne and Istanbul
-
Sarajevo is the one. Popular with tourists of course but very beautiful and interesting culturally.

Connections Puzzle #989 🟩🟨🟪🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 fell right into the first trap -
It disturbs me that it needed to have been done.
-
to be honest idgas and if they'd bleeped it then fine. I just don't think it's a problem keeping it in considering he has tourettes and saying that it should've been edited 'for his own safety' is a bit disturbing imo. We're not going to agree - you think certain words are always offensive no matter the context, I don't.
-
I feel a bit like I'm going insane here but yes obviously it does.
-
He has ****ing Tourettes
-
I may be being obtuse but not deliberately. I don't think it should have been edited because I don't think there's anything wrong with it. The notion that people's words need to be edited for their own safety is unfortunately the logical conclusion to this idea that simply uttering a word irrespective of the intention is fundamentally wrong and in need of punishment.
-
yes, we must hide disabled people away so they are not targeted with abuse by low IQ bigots
-
The word is available to listen to in thousands clips including from films that won awards last night. Editing stuff out to protect the person who said it (who is disabled) from getting abuse is pretty ****ed up. Americans have decreed that uttering that particular word is the worst thing you can do to the extent that a literal disabled guy who works as a caretaker is being called out by millionaire film stars and millions of people online are suggesting he should have been either edited out or even stopped from attending. There doesn't always need to be a scapegoat. Sometimes an unfortunate incident happens and we can all move on without blaming anyone. Or at least we used to be able to...

Wish I hadn't thrown away my oppression matrix, would've come in handy
-
It caused no damage and the BBC needs to do precisely **** all.
-
The BAFTAs stuff is just peak American woke. We've spent over a decade hearing that neurodiversity is real and everywhere and just taking a university exam is an anxiety-inducing and oppressive tool of the system and then suddenly it's all "being disabled doesn't excuse racism y'all". Just shows the absurdity and utter narcissism of these people.
-
They don't care, everything is superseded by their neuroses over race.

He's a smart guy he'd have known how difficult it was going to be. I'm sure he's telling the cremonese squad about Leicester 14/15.

Thinking of going to England this year anyone been? Big fan of the films of Guy Ritchie, is there anything else going for it I should be aware of?
