  1. Imagine singing "You're not English" to the tune of Cwm Rhondda? Thick clearings in the woods.
  2. You sound extremely bitter. To me, the office is soulless, full of presenteeism types. Granted, some people need workmates for friendship, especially in places like London. As far as high streets go...why should I go to my office and support their high street, and not my local high street?
  3. Whenever I visit Warsaw and take my niece to one of her evening dance classes there is always someone with a loud speaker playing a recorded protest outside TVP headquarters. Even my niece saw TVP news as a joke 2 years ago when she was 14.
  4. Most of the old German areas, SIlesia, Pomerania etc.
  5. Palestine was being looked at by Polish Zionists back in the 30s as a possible place to settle. On 1st September 1939 a ship in Gdansk (Danzig) harbour, laden with arms to fight the British in Palestine, was halted for use by the Polish Army against the invading Germans. Source: Rising 44 by Norman Davis. A very good book about the Warsaw Rising, not the ghetto uprising.
  6. I saw that too brilliant. The son was Robert Shaw's not Scheider's.
  7. And if I remember correctly, fans of Neath Rugby Club used to be nicknamed Turks by other South Wales clubs because of a WW1 POW camp. Once again, it may be urban myth.
  8. One of the oldest Somalian communities in the UK is in Cardiff, from the years working as stokers on the steamships. Whether or not it is an enclave, I cannot tell. There is a Portuguese enclave in Stockwell/Brixton. A tight cluster of cafes etc. It is a very old community 200+ years old I think.
  9. I downloaded the DLC for free on PS3 from Playstation Store last week. Some of it is bloody hard!!
  10. On reddit one of the set designers said that it was an abandoned mall in Calgary. They seemed to have great fun half bringing it back to life and apparently there was a lot of skateboarding involved. It was only a one-storey mall, so the ceiling was painted blue so they could CGI upper levels.
  11. I thought it was great fun. My niece loved all the digging at incels. I suppose it's a show more aimed at teenagers than old gits!
  12. And you can hide behind an avatar of a fictional freedom fighter from a writer that would abhor all the nonsense you are posting.
  13. I couldn't stop laughing when he was telling off Dahmer in his late 20s. Reminded me so much of him in the film Stepbrothers.
  14. I think the only thing that will get rid of the monarchy is the Tory party. Just as they are the party of "the Union", they purport to be the party of the monarchy. They are the most likely to break up the Union, or at least see a united Ireland. And they are the most likely to break the monarchy or at least reduce it if they can find a way to take the land, money and assets for themselves and "interested parties", rather than return them to the people, or do good for the people.
  15. Let him take their blood money and be damned!
  16. It makes a big difference it you pull the width in against a team with good wingers. Or vice versa if your own team has good wingers. I’m sure clubs used to adapt their pitches to the opposition.
  17. Yep. Us football fans are universally a bunch of sad sacks!!
  18. I don’t believe the club bother with smokescreens. But if the press publish nonsense, I’m sure they shrug and leave them to it.
  19. Have you watched the crime series Gommorah? The Italians have some very literal nicknames.
  20. I've never heard of him, to be honest! When I saw the name I thought we'd signed another youth player...
  21. I don't get it? All I see is two pictures of naked women wrestling....
