Now been tagged to work in Alderney in the days I was due to be in nyc for the World Cup. I’ll obvs try and get out of it but that’s surely the biggest fall from grace anyone has ever had if I end up in Alderney rather than New York on said days

Great point. Gallagher scored millions Infront of the Kop

Dry for 99 days is incredible, no way I’d have the willpower to do that, congrats. Clock has reset and go again

At a restaurant yeh you can give a few bucks as tip then scuttle off. But at a bar or club if you don’t tip appropriately you aren’t getting served again, which makes it de facto mandatory. Always been best to tip hard at first then relax in my experience.

Prices is one thing but the added tax then mandatory tip is ludicrous. I swear when I worked in the US (albeit nearly 10 years ago) 10-15% was normal. Now it seems minimum 20% otherwise you're getting shot

I'm going 22 June or around then for a few days during the world cup, have you booked things yet? Are prices stable? Impossible to say on reccos or advice, it's one of the most fun cities in the world with unlimited options. You can do whatever you desire at any hour of the day.

Wow that was intense. I've got into a few scrapes travelling but nothing like this. Feel sorry for the many thousands of people at BKK airport without cash, credit cards, phone signal, sufficient English, a decent passport which allows more transit options and the travel experience to get out of a hole like this. They will likely be stuck for days/weeks with zero assistance, European flights are sold out and hotel availability is nearly zero. Seeing so much media attention on those stuck in the Middle East, but they have food and accomo assistance. In the transit hubs it's like the hunger games. I got back via the last available seat through Guangzhou.

Good few days in Koh Samui, proper sunshine and good food, drink, tropical scenery etc. Not so great that a war starts as we’re at the airport to go home. Made it to Bangkok and stranded here now as the middle east is shut for the foreseeable and all flights into Europe are sold out for days. Qatar airways said nothing yet but I presume 100,000s are contacting them. Try my luck via China or Singapore but it’s looking really tough.

Would be a lot of fun watching the initial enthusiasm gradually dissipate into middle aged disillusionment. But there are plenty who have shown strong leadership and got successful non-league clubs going, loads of people who would prob be very willing to share lessons learned and how to professionalise operations like this, Jersey Bulls being one example.

Yet another happy clapper I see

The Jimmy Kimmel takedown of it was hilarious

Very succinct summary tbf, but gullible dumb happy clappers = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. These happy clappers are genuinely getting behind a multi-billionaire tax dodger because 'he says it how he sees it mate.'

LinkedIn is full of more sh1t and posturing than Twitter and TikTok, not being facetious, it really is so bad. There's value in the contrarian bet right now it seems, esp if putting through a corporate structure. Yes small landlords/overleveraged/unorganised will suffer as they should any market shakeout, that's efficient

Yes. In 10 years time when we are winning the champions league I want to be part of the latest generation to say 'I was there in League 1 you know.'

I went to John Robertson at the Y theatre last Friday. It was totally weird, good experience

Why would you leave, we all hate our own team more than we hate yours?!?! Stick around and read the happy clapper meltdown when you beat us next season, you know you want to!

Get on the bus, have a few beers and a laugh, swear at football players for 90 mins then come home. Much worse ways to waste an afternoon and more than £75. Park life.

Yes. They should. Baby boomers will go down as the generation who were handed it all and trashed it in a haze of laziness, malaise, obesity, preventable diseases and being so easily offended. My generation will go down as the ones who actually killed the planet.

As we move beyond the environmental, social and governance (ESG) hype bubble it is time for business to recognise that, irrespective of short-term market sentiment, an economic transition is inevitable. We cannot do business on a dead planet, and we can be certain that business as usual will not continue. Although the window for action is narrowing, businesses still have the opportunity to protect their long term viability and success by working to reshape the markets on which they depend. I totally understand and empathise with Trump and Farage, they have a short term window to make serious money from their happy clapper followers. However I do not understand the happy clappers who believe the words that come out of their mouths, it's them that'll be counting the cost. TBH they deserve it and I look forward to the day the industry milks them dry, but that's not in keeping with the human tone of this thread

Is it this one? Address: 4 Thurcaston Rd, Belgrave, Leicester LE4 5PE, United Kingdom Google is unclear

The king of curry strikes again, will spot this up next time I am back in Leicester

Yep just genuinely never ceases to amaze me how all those who vociferously hate snowflakes are indeed snowflakes. Like imagine being scared to go into town

Went to herb before a show at the Y theatre on Friday night. Very good, hadn’t been there for years, forgot how good it is. Fairly priced too

A variety of lagers in the new street station spoons pre match yday after I accidentally sent a pic of us (including table number) to another mate. Also had a fried egg, small pot of cheese, apple and a banana

Christ you sum up the snowflake wokiness that has unfortunately destroyed our country. In my day men had a backbone, now they’re spineless woke left wing lunatics. We need to end this madness before it ends us
