I was absolutely **** destroyed by them. You think oh thats the worst they have and then they persist. I could open with 'Pretty sure BTS are just computer generated auto-tuned generic nonce fodder' and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I have huge nostalgia for a lot of K-Pop 2010-12 when I was out there but can't bear anything I hear outside that. I've no idea why BTS were the ones that truly made it worldwide though. Pretty generic K-Pop boyband at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lad did that a couple of years ago and got an avalanche of hate from teenage girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I very rarely read the thread of whoever the current manager is, it always seems to be the worst thread on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 The New Zealand soccer team have been called the "All whites"for ever because they wear white shirts,white shorts and white sox. While watching the Olympics I noticed that they were wearing all black.I asked my sister in law ( who lives in New Zealand ) whats going on and she said that they had to change because "All whites"was prejudice. My question is "what about the New Zealand Rugby team" ?????? The All blacks.FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be a rule in international Football that you couldn't wear black shirts as that was reserved for referees (it was certainly the case until the 1990s in the UK anyway), New Zealand then opted to play in White. That rule no longer exists so they probably changed it because it standardizes their international kits across sports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Why Mancs try to claim the industrial revolution. Sure, the city was a big contributor but it was Brum that was dubbed 'The Workshop of the World'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birthplace of industry and the industrial revolution in the UK. This was drummed into us in the 70s and 80s more than any other historical fact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason they claim to be the second biggest city in the UK (like that’s something to truly aspire to). Just simple arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yeah the 2nd city stuff is bizarre, the way they rope in all the satellite towns and then want to use greater Manchester to elevate their population The city itself is smaller than Bristol Conversely though I don't know why for so long brum council was so utterly **** useless at promoting itself, theyve neglected their global position for so long that they've damaged the city, add to that brummies themselves don't give a shit about any of it whereas mancs are desperate for it On the global city index or whatever its called brum has to aim to be higher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Also a large number of Mancs will genuinely tell you that they believe Manchester to be the best city in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
