I do think he genuinely has a heart of gold, unfortunately he also has a brain of shite.

Yeah, the explosion was at 2am, so that's what time they were paid up till. And the only punishment they received was a £140 fine for the paperwork not being up to date, even though 260 odd miners died.

Guys like that feel insecure, you should have given him a compliment, like "nice tits".

Just watched the episode about the Gresford mining disaster. By far the best episode of either series, and done very well. Thought it was excellent. The mine owners stopped the wages of the dead miners at their time of death, rather than pay them the full shift. Shameful.

Yeah, definitely was. It did come across as a commercial decision rather than purely footballing, as the keeper still available to them had played something like 36 games and kept 13 clean sheets so far that season. Good exposure to both parties, but I did feel sorry for "Chomp".

Do you honestly believe that your analogy of an engineer wearing a baseball cap is the same as AS wearing that dress? Comparing apples to oranges my friend. One is sexual, one is not.

Of course I am, it's called having an opinion. Try it some time rather than piggybacking on "everybody" else's. Again no counter argument, just a rather patronising "your wrong", that sounds like something you read in a self help book.

Yes, we are at cross purposes. But I am going to stop now because this conversation is just going to descend.

You are inferring a lot here. So far you have likened me to Andrew Tate and being a concern for your daughter's safety. The fact I believe that her outfit was inappropriate does not make me a menace to society, and I would ask you to refrain from these overreactions.

Have no regrets, I have saved you a seat next to me. I'm in the Adolf Hitler suite, in the Andrew Tate building.

In all seriousness I don't see it, can you enlighten me, because I believe we might be at cross purposes.

You still haven't offered a counter argument, just spat your dummy out twice, and given an over inflated opinion.

Fair enough, but do you see the irony of claiming something a dumb and then writing "long ass time" . Also, don't apologise if you don't mean it, it comes across as insincere.

I guess your first paragraph is our differing opinion, fair enough. I agree with your second paragraph (although I don't think she is a slut), but women can sexually exploit men, because men let themselves be exploited. It's as old as time itself. And as you say it is a shame (for both sexes).

Lot to unpack there, thanks for the reply I do not rate her, yes but that is only a subjective opinion (and I thought that before I saw her nipples). I listen to women like Maggie Alphonso and Alison Mitchell, top notch commentators who do not need to behave like this (we may be of a different generation, so may have differing standards. I do not know your circumstances, but how would you react if your daughter, sister, wife or mother went out in that outfit, knowing it would be plastered all over the press the next day). My opinion is that it is ashame that women have to / decide to do this to gain attention and recognition. It would be preferable if they could be rated for their ability rather than their appearance (as the two examples above), but as you say it has happened forever, sex sells. I do believe there is a correlation between her lack of punditry ability and exposure. As an actress, Jennifer Lawrence has performed full frontal nudity, and also has a " leaked" picture collection, so I think it is comparing apples to oranges. Nudity is part of acting but not punditry. Basically I am saying let their skills speak for themselves, and leave sex appeal out of it. To me it's like Page 3 models, most men like looking at attractive topless models, but not within the context of serious news. There's a time and a place for each of them.

I have not commented on GL, I was talking about AS. Let's not play the "link me to your comments" game, as I am sure there are some attrocities you have not commented on, but I do not believe you condone them.

It's not sexism, because I would have the same attitude if it was a man.

How on earth do you equate the fact that I think it is inappropriate for a woman to use her sexuality to further her career with a man who has allegedly trafficked and sexually exploited women? Maybe you should think twice before throwing out the insults.

Alex Scott is not wanting to be seen as attractive but more outrageous and getting attention, as being attractive can be done in many ways without going braless and wearing a see through top. I don't get your euphamism of showing some ankle, she is showing her nipples, which is a completely different thing. One is an erogenous zone one isn't. I also think she is a poor pundit, many people do. I would also bet my last dollar, if she was a top notch pundit, she would not be seeking attention on this way.

No

In life, if you can get by using your brain, you know you do not have to exploit your body. Basically she is indicating that she knows that what she has to say is not up to scratch, so she will distract us with her body (classic magician's assistant deception). Some might think this is thinking like a caveman, but we basically are and she is exploiting it. Basic biology. I could not take her seriously before that dress, and still can't now.

That is a horrible situation. The hardest thing to do is go no contact with your family, but it'll change yours and your family's life. Your son doesn't need those kind of influences in his life and you need to protect your mental health. These kind of parents (narcissistic as an educated guess) will destroy anybody that will listen, as it seems they have done to your siblings. You need to rant about them to process the pain. I have spent 30 years ranting (and therapy) and have gone no contact with every member of my family included extended. It is so liberating. Your parents sound like mine, and they do not give a shit about anybody but themselves, it's hard to accept but it is the truth. Good luck.

Just watching the episode where they sign Ben Foster...and compare him to Michael Jordan and Tom Brady

I think people are more likely to turn up to vote against Trump. One political analyst described Trump as "someone who is very good at stopping people voting for his opponent, but even better at stopping people voting for him". It's a sad state when these are the two likeliest candidates in a country of that size.
