Why does the NHS hold music sound like the soundtrack of a dodgy 80s buddy cop movie?!

Thinking about the classic 'away goals dont count' gags around play off times, what would a match actually look like if you had 2 legs and your away goals didnt actually count for anything? What sort of formation would be played to stop a team from scoring? Something like 7-2-1?

You're looking for the Craig Levein thread. 1-10-0-0 as displayed by Scotland under his tutelage.

If you shop at Asda, have you noticed that when you put fresh produce on the self checkout scale  and touch "search", the very item you have placed there is the first thing on the list of items? For example, I bought parsnips and when I touched "search", they were the first product that came up.

Apparently, there's a camera in the scanner that recognises the items you scan to prevent people putting stuff on the scale and entering a cheaper thing. Carrots cost less than avocados for example.

Whilst there's a certain amount of crossover with the comments on stories on the Daily Mail website, for sheer stained-y-fronts-sat-staring-into-the-monitor-all-day-might-murder-my-MP vibes you can't beat the comments on the Leicester Mercury website.

 

From these I've learned the following:

 

Peter Soulsby is the devil and responsible for all ills.

 

Anything involving a financial transaction is a 'money making scheme'

 

There is no such thing as human kindness

 

And a load of thinly veiled racist stuff

We'd all be talking Spanish now, if Drake had not saved England
Hitler would have ruled the world, if not for little England
We love our country, we love our flag
We know who we are, we know the history we've had
And when good is needed to fight the bad, they'll always be an England.

Strewth. 22:50 and Newsnight give a 'strong language' warning before a report on Dominic Cummins appearance to a parliamentary committee.

I wasn't watching Cbeebies for crying out loud

Have we become a country of easily offended, mamby pamby bunch of soft soap?

Actually, the answer is yes.

"The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war." – Sydney J Harris

We have, used to be we were a beacon of international cooperation but now the merest mention of equality will summon a lengthy tirade

And perhaps factor in the inability or unwillingness of the average Englander to learn them in the first place.

There are more people in China learning English right now than actual English people living in England.

Why is everything so damn expensive nowadays? Whether it's rent/mortgages, clothes, car parts/work, leisure equipment, memberships to gyms, etc. 

 

No wonder people struggle to live off their wages nowadays and people rack up huge debts.

Because the governments have focused all their attention on making business profitable, ahead of making wages realistic

Because the Unions have been crushed by New Labour and the Tories so we the working class have no power.

That's why I've always argued that putting up the minimum wage is pointless as the cost of living also goes up. All it does is drive I industries like call centres and factory work to other countries where its cheaper for them to run whilst the people here who ARE lucky enough to have a job are no better off....

 

Surely if both the min wage AND cost of living were lower, more companies would be based from here and more people would have work...
