If you were 140 years old this would still be the case

What's Cape Town like?

Lucky them. Did a quick google and didn't realise he died this month.

Nice. Do they play at the big Cape Town stadium?

How much was it worth?

Can we talk about something else please, the football is too dull.

He's no Bale, that's for sure

What a fine metaphor for our current performances.

Good reference. More 90s football references please to alleviate this tedium.

Genuinely the cringiest man ever to exist.

I don't, it was just poetic licence.

Totally forgot we were playing. Clicked on the last page in the thread to be confronted "wtf was that from Faes". Ignorance really is bliss.

An interesting if slightly depressing read: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/how-gangs-smuggle-stolen-phones-algeria-z6cgq2gxs Saw my first live phone snatching today. Some poor French girl on Baker Street. Led to a quite enjoyable public rant from a Sicilian born Londoner who had clearly been pushed beyond his limit by some of our charming fellow citizens.

I found out this weekend that Forest have won the European cup twice.

Heartwarming. Romance is not dead

I think it's quite likely in the next few years that there is a Russian attack on UK infrastructure or terrorist attack on British soul aided and funded by Russia (or both). At the same time related to what Mac says I think it's also quite likely that rising inequality and declining living standards results in young Britons, especially young men, becoming increasingly nationalist and hostile to other groups (not just white Britons either). Fun times ahead!

A lot of British conservativism is just mistrust of foreigners, particularly Europeans, and the belief that Anglos should be running the world. They're not actually interested in conserving things.

Quite ironic that the main thing Boris got done was treble immigration

Like Brexit his supporters will just blame shady neoliberal elites and claim real Trumpism has never been tried.

8 years ago today. What a night.

Wishing you all the very best @mozartfox
