People who stand right in front of you at football games wearing massive bobble hats sticking up way above their heads. Inconsiderate pricks.

The problem we have now with the rise of AI is that the Iranian regime could produce a totally convincing video to 'prove' that the Ayatollah is still alive.

Drone attack on a residential building in Bahrain, just a few km from where my brother lives... VID-20260228-WA0027.mp4

Just got home. Meh, not an inspiring performance. Lots of Martin-esque passing around with very little intensity. But we played well enough to beat a very poor side so job done. Larin had a few good moments but his touch is poor. Should have got that shot on target in the first half. Manning was fine, because he had very little defending to do on his side so was able to link up well with Leo, who had a fairly quiet game. Edozie was fairly bright when he came on but really should have done better with that chance or squared it. Poor. Archer... Jeez. I actually feel sorry for the guy in many ways. He's basically just doing a Downs impression now and it's painful to watch.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Barely got out of second gear and just cruising. They've got no threat up front but it would be very Saintsy to concede a comedy goal to let them back in it. Hopefully a few more goals in the second half. Seems every away game I go to, we fall apart after HT and all the action unfolds up the other end.

Bear in mind that we only have the word of the Iranian regime that this even happened. With no foreign journalists allowed in the country, it can't be independently verified.

Not much in the way of away fan friendly ones near the ground. Your best bet is to stay in the centre and then jump on a yellow route tram towards Middlewood which stops right near the stadium.

Juffair naval base in Bahrain VID-20260228-WA0016.mp4

My brother lives in Bahrain, and two days ago his wife died from cancer. Last night I booked flights for Monday for my nephew and me to go over for her funeral. My brother has messaged to say the government has issued shelter in place alerts as the US naval base there has now been hit in retaliation by Iran. He's been sent pictures of explosions at the base from friends who live near there. Needless to say, I won't now be travelling.

Of course it was. The negotiations were quite obviously just a sham, intended only to give them some semblance of moral justification. Very few people, not even most Iranians, would mourn the overthrow of the Ayatollahs. But we've been here before with Iraq, and we all know full well the motivations of Trump/Netenyahu are not as pure and altruistic as they want us to believe.

He must. But he won't.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Sheaf Saint replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
For once I am in complete agreement with you. In blocking Burnham he put his own interests before the party's (and the country's), and losing the seat to the Greens is squarely on his shoulders. -

Every single word of this could also be applied to antisemitism. -

But that's no different to how the Israeli government use accusations of antisemitism to shut down legitimate criticism of their treatment of Palestinians though. There will always be bad faith actors who will use similar tactics. To focus criticism of it in the context of Islamophobia without acknowledging that is disingenuous. -

While this is true - I have huge misgivings about all organised religions myself - you know full well that in the case of the word Islamophobia, it's not actually the religious framework of Islam that it refers to. -

No. It means an instinctive aversion to something, rather than a fear of it. When something waterproof is described as hydrophobic, it doesn't mean it's scared of water. -
Their current predicament is down to Chansiri, but their financial problems go back much longer than that. He bought the club in 2015 but they have been grossly mismanaged since the turn of the century when they were relegated from the PL with massive debts. Living in the city I know quite a few Wednesday fans, and I really sympathise with them. Barring a couple of promotions from L1 and getting into the Champ playoffs a few seasons ago, they've had such a rough time over decades now. As for Hillsborough, it's almost embarrassing how much of an eyesore it is for the city now. It's such a run-down, dilapidated shit hole and really should have been demolished and replaced a long time ago.

He once came and visited a company I worked for in Salisbury in his role as trade envoy. We were given a long list of rules such as "do not approach or speak to the prince unless invited" etc... He gave off an air of the entire exercise being beneath him, and would ask people questions then walk off before they even finished answering. I have absolutely no difficulty believing that he is, indeed, an absolute cunt.

What about if we partner him with Camer...... Oh, never mind.

1-2 now. Cov turned that round within 10 mins.

That is actually how it is pronounced in Japan though. https://www.howtopronounce.com/japanese/matsuki

I don't remember that. But then I left after the 3rd goal went in and went to meet some friends in the pub.
