  1. Selective data selection in this thread. Whod’ve thunk it?! Breaking new ground.
  2. Nice to see the see the argument moving on from “oh it will be an unmitigated disaster” to “oh it would be soooo much better if we were in the EU”.
  3. I may be behind the times but watched the pilot episode of Euphoria last night. Man there was a lot going on! Nudity, violence, anal sex, drugs, profanity, regular sex, teenagers communicating in a language I barely recognise as English...it made me feel completely past it (and a little nostalgic). I kind of enjoyed, kind of stressed me out. Does it calm down a bit?
  4. Fact of the day. If global average life expectancy were to continue to increase at the current rate, then the first person to live to be 200 is already alive today!
  5. Not convinced by this reckoning. Given that estimates of the size of the german army during the war tops 13 million, these figures would indicate that at least 5 million people were fighting for the Nazi’s but not party members. Does this make them Nazi’s or not?
  6. I hope that the irony of that comment in response to a video that, quite literally, only shows one side of the debate wasn’t lost on you.
  7. For someone who doesn’t discuss those things with his buddies, you sure like to share your opinions about them on the internet! Why does it bother you so much what other people talk about/listen to?
  8. Honourable mention to this, it still pops into my head at least once a month. Also, as a theme song, if you had never seen an episode of this show and just saw this opening, then you know exactly what the show is about. Perfect!
  9. Minor point that everybody on field and commentary seems to have missed but the Buttler dismissal is really bugging me! If the 3rd umpire deems that the ball hits his toe on his front foot, why is Hawkeye picking up the tracking when it hits his back leg?
  10. An extract from a recent conversation with my 11 year old daughter: Her: She bought one of those shiny things. Me: What shiny things? Her: You know the round shiny things that you put in the radio and they play music. I think CDs are dead!
  11. Spooky premonition…but a weird comment to make in a game where Steve Smith is playing!
  12. So true! It was truly awful. I have no idea what he was trying to achieve. Even if he had successfully ‘rolled’ Lukaku, all it would have achieved is putting Targett (who was under pressure from Pulisic) in the sh*t.
  13. My missus said she’d leave me if I didn’t stop randomly pointing out things in the house. I said “there’s the door”
  14. England still need to be batting going in to day 4 to have any chance of salvaging something from this test. Just not going to happen is it.
  15. I was genuinely surprised when I saw this, only because I remember being at a pub quiz about 20 years ago and a fight broke out with people arguing over Glasgow and Budapest (didn’t affect my team of thickos, we’d answered Paris!). Having looked into this today though, I think if Istanbul had been given as the answer, even I might have joined the fight! A funicular built in 1875 with 2 stops, isn’t a metro system it’s a tunnel! The clue must be that the Turkish called the line Tünel.
  16. In defence of the Telegraph (no doubt a popular stance on here!), they are not telling you what THE problem is, they are trying to explain what Boris’ problem is. They have identified, correctly, 3 areas that have lost traditional Tory votes. I’d venture that talking about ‘bloated entitlement’ has absolutely zero effect on how a typical Tory voter marks their ballot paper.
  17. How bad must Burns' throwing arm be for him to be an automatic at slip, even though he seems to put down at least one chance per innings?
  18. The skirt - I can roll with. The bag - meh, bit chavvy for my taste The centre parting - GTFO!!!!
  19. I’ve never been sold on the large parts of Moby Dick that describe, in great detail, different types of whale. As for things I wonder… were Ishmael and Queequeg banging or just good friends?
