Matchmakers game for you all this Christmas, you have to put the whole stick in your mouth and close your lips without it snapping.
-
Yes, if in doubt, shoot them.

I’m really not trying to come across sympathetic to the cop here, but that guy could swing round with a gun and blow his head off for all he knew. Adrenaline and heart racing. The setup in the US is completely wrong, but given the culture out there I expect the police officer may get into trouble for using so many bullets, but not for the act of shooting the suspect.
-
It shouldn’t, but it does in the US because of the prevalence of guns and he would have known that but still did it. I’m certainly not excusing the police officer but I dare say it is probably the taught action to take (maybe not quite so many shots though). Tasering would be a far more sensible option, but I suspect (could be wrong) that in this scenario where the police office can’t see if he’s getting a gun then shooting is the course of action they are told to take.

It’s crazy scenes. This is different to the George Floyd incident in that he acted in a way that risked getting killed. Of course the police didn’t need to shoot him several times, but when you climb into your car like which could potentially be to reach for a gun then you risk getting shot. Also, how did he survive it???

Summer Transfers 20/21 (Or what to loot during the apocalypse)
Genie replied to sne's topic in Other Football
Cos he could get say £200k a week paid up as a lump sum then another £200k per week somewhere else. -
and there’s a glaringly obvious solution which they won’t even entertain the idea of having a discussion about.
-
This is a parallel universe, by suggesting someone let’s you know what happened in the meeting it’s probably deeply offensive to the main man that you didn’t feel the need to go, and likely to result in you getting a bullet in your head.
-
Clearly they are told the boss gets offended if you don’t take notes. Every single one has pen to paper.
-
I definitely think it’s a fake discount. I have rightmove alerts setup from years ago when I was looking to move and I can see the real-time inflation. My in laws have their house on the market and said there’s no way we’re going to offer anything off the price because they’re saving on the stamp duty whereas before they were willing to negotiate. I mentioned the other week that the house builders building houses by me immediately put the £489k k houses up to £505k... taking the £15k stamp duty “saving” for themselves.

Me too, and I had a brilliant childhood too. We weren’t poor, I didn’t have free school dinners and my parents didn’t get any benefits as far as I am aware but I lived most of my childhood on a council estate and didn’t feel any kind of stigma. This is my old council estate, look at all that space. Fields for football, hide and seek etc. They don’t make them like this any more.

There was a discussion on here a couple of days ago about chocolate bars and stuff. If you’re not aware there is an online store (Yankee Bundles) that sells loads of chocolate bars by the box with free shipping. Things like: 24 x Twix Extra Large 75g Salted Caramel Chocolate Bars £12 delivered 30 x Manija Chocolate, Caramel, Peanut & Nougat 49g Bars £6 delivered 24 x Twix Extra Large 75g Chocolate Bars £10 delivered loads of other weird and wonderful stuff.

Would have been funny if he said “transfers are on my to do list when I get 5 minutes, nothing happened yet”.
-
Suarez to have his contract terminated by Barcelona, I reckon he could do a job. Cheeky bid?
-
True, but I bet few are paid as well as Micah!
-
It must be weird for a player to be paid millions a year knowing that he’s extremely unlikely to be called into action. Its like the best paid hobby in the world.

Even if he was looking to come back, I expect there would be more attractive options for him available.
-
Who has? City were fined €9m for lack of cooperation but all other charges and punishments were overturned.
-
I’ve been to Amsterdam and know exactly what you mean. Doesn’t help with hunger though.
-
Yeah, I recall one or both of them started on the bench which made it all the more bizarre. Probably trying to play down what a (dodgy deal) coup it was
-
Their debut was against us wasn’t it?
-
It’s a shame there was not an early goal or 2 so it really caught light. Was just bubbling under but was still far better than the Liverpool / Spurs snooze fest.
-
I was joining the dots on where I think the other poster was going. We know that part of the reason for rising house prices is the low interest rates. If there was a big adjustment then that alone might not signal good news for first time buyers as the interest rate could swing the other way (it could actually drive the prices down) making paying the mortgage more expensive that it was with the higher purchase price/ lower interest combination. If we knew what was going to happen we’d all be rich.

An example of the new normal we’re told we need to get used to in the short and medium terms. I agree, it has been as successful as it could have been.
