Remarkable. Watched the cup game and Atletico just walked through them, could've been 7 or 8.

Never? I don't think that top 2 has ever happened. Unless this is half way through 62/63

I was exaggerating for semi comic effect but no I am not a fan. You're right of course that it doesn't really matter if it's Brits in Spain or e.g. Lithuanians in the UK. What I would say is that Brit retirees in Spain often have less of an excuse as they have the money, property and free time to assimilate more whereas economic migrants in the UK often have fewer options and need to stick together. And as you say, some (I stress some) Brits in Spain really are the worst of the worst. I feel bad for the normal ones being associated with them. To be honest I was pretty live and let live about it until I lost my own FoM which many of those ex-pats voted for unfortunately.

Labour win, we rejoin, the EU put 29 year transitional controls on young Brits freedom of movement to stop them all moving to Poland for work

This is not what I was expecting Ian Marshall to say

Shame to see European culture being diluted by mass immigration of people with violent tendencies and weird food who don't speak the language https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/inside-wetherspoons-first-pub-spain-36691887

True. And British people welcomed them and loved them. Pubs used to encourage them to come in and have a pint. "More blacks, more Irish, more dogs" they used to put in the window.

Faulty Towers has been totally ruined for me now

Used to be the Swan and Rushes. That was great in its heyday. Then when that changed hands, or whatever happened to it, started going to the Peel but the rather aggressive door policy started to put me off and my elderly Dad didn't really like the lack of space. Now usually go to the Globe for some food and a pint which is not the greatest pub but is relatively laid back and civilised.

Yeah I'm being careful what I write having been permanently scarred by 2015 and 2017

Bad miss from Darnold

This is not quite Seattle vs New England 2015

This sounds like something that would keep me awake in the basement flat of an airbnb I stupidly booked to save some money

Walker has a very interesting running style

Maye looking a bit sore already

American blue collar work ethic grindset culture as exemplified by gridiron 'football' hype videos really is so dull. You work hard, well done.

No I wanted to make my hair voluminous but left the tongs plugged in

hot Italian curler

This thread exists as a fascinating example of how British online discourse, particularly regarding immigration, has changed over the last twenty years. You could write a PhD on it.

'YLP Thread Meta' sounds like an aggressively hopped juicy American pale with a surreal cartoon on the pump clip

didn't we do this two weeks ago?
