Turkish Posted October 12 Posted October 12 1 hour ago, egg said: I like films that are so crap they're actually good, of that makes sense. I can't take Danny Dyer seriously as a hard man though. He's just a scrawny bloke with an exaggerated accent, and walks like he's lugging rolls of carpet under his arms. He’s a bit of a joke but I think he plays up to it and doesn’t take himself seriously. Plenty of people will look down their nose at that sort of bloke but he’s had a pretty good career for basically playing himself on films for 25 years. The Business is a great film mind

He was kind, open, genuine and warm. Seems a very decent bloke, but he still doesn't convince me as a hard man.

He's like thousands of blokes from that area, god knows i've met enough. Talk in that accent, use a bit of rhyming slang, walk like they're carrying carpets and think everyone is scared of them because they support West Ham, Millwall or because they're from a "proper manor". Blokes from Portsmouth are a diet version of the above. Edited October 13 by Turkish 1
Turkish Posted October 13 Posted October 13 I would say one of the major issues this county faces is is the lack of personal responsibility for everything which seems to have taken over. It starts with schools and deluded parents who question the teachers when their kid gets in trouble at school. Whereas when i was a kid if i get in trouble at school i'd then also be in trouble when i got home now we constantly see parents going down to school to rant at the teachers. It's no surprises this is translating into soft, entitled adults who blame everyone else or conditions they have for their failings. We have a generation of people with no resilience who go to pieces when faced with even the most minor bit of adversity. Then you see the blaming of the government for not doing enough. The most recent example of this you can see is the Joe Wicks program about the protein bar he made that is full if shit that does more harm than good. The message is the government need to do more, blah, blah, blah. Yes i do agree the food industry needs more regulation, but given that and the pharma industry seem to be working hand in hand, that unlikely to happen. However people are responsible for what they stick in their gobs, no one else, but they seem to want to shift the blame of their own greed because they hadn't been given specific instructions to the letter as to what they should be doing. I would suggest that unless you are fucking stupid most people know what's healthy and what isn't but rather than take responsibility for themselves they shift the blame that there aren't warnings on food packages, it's insane. 7

That's correct but it actually starts at nursery where parents routinely take the word of a 2 year old over the adults looking after them. I don't know if it's a general distrust of authority but it's miles worse than it was even a decade ago. 3
Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted October 13 Posted October 13 A 'pumpkin patch ' has just opened down the road from me. From what I can tell a local landowner has simply dumped a load of pumpkins in a field and is charging people for the privilege of "picking" one. What the fuckidy fuck is that all about, and why is it a thing in the UK?! 1

In the last couple of days I've seen 2 cases of people going abroad without travel insurance and having bad accidents or illness. They can't afford to be flown home so set up a GoFundMe page and expect other people to pay for them. 1

Turkish Posted October 15 Posted October 15 1 hour ago, Weston Super Saint said: #obsessed Interesting, Chat GPT seems to concur Yes, based on recent posts, sadoldgit does mention Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) more frequently than other posters on the SaintsWeb forum. He often references Robinson in a critical context, sometimes humorously, and in discussions about political figures and events. Notable Mentions The Unicorns and Rainbows Thread: In this thread, sadoldgit humorously responds to a post by CB Fry, saying, “He might have to do so in a new language. It sounds like he might be planning to spend some time abroad. Still, more good news eh?” This was in reference to Tommy Robinson’s legal issues and potential imprisonment. The small things in life that bring you joy: Sadoldgit expresses amusement at Robinson’s arrest for illegal immigration, stating, “His arrest for illegal immigration brings me great joy.” The Reform Thread: He discusses a conversation with an acquaintance who supports Trump and plans to vote for Farage’s Reform UK party, indicating a connection between such political figures and support for Robinson. While other users occasionally mention Robinson, sadoldgit’s posts indicate a more frequent and detailed engagement with discussions involving him. 2

Defo “there are a fair number of times where he claims or implies that people he meets agree with him — he sometimes says things like “I hear plenty of people saying …” or refers to people who echo his views. For example, in discussions about politics (e.g. Brexit, Farage), he notes that there are people around who think he’s right, or that others are saying things he agrees with. 3

Yep. You could just cut the words "Jewish and Israeli" and it'd address the primary issue of the police not being up to the job of policing.

Maccabi fans have a history of attacking locals and leaving a trail of damage, so this ban will protect UK citizens from extremist ultras. They can still sing their traditional club songs about dead children, raping their rivals and drinking their blood, while they watch it on TV.

I still haven't seen anything definitive. Have they been banned because they are hooligans and they have potential to cause disorder (fair enough but then we've had fans with similar reputations in the past that haven't been banned) or is it because the police don't believe they can keep a load of Israelis safe going through Birmingham? Genuine question by the way. I've seen the usual antisemitic accounts celebrating because they believe they successfully got the away fans banned. Edited Friday at 08:35 by hypochondriac

It’s fucking bullshit the ratio of coppers to fans at football matches is ridiculously high- they have got more power and technology than ever. This banning of fans from travelling is sinister crap, whether it’s Ajax, Maccabi, whoever. If Notting Hill Carnival can be policed then a football match with about 1000 travelling fans should be an absolute fucking piece of cake. Restricting fans from being allowed to travel is pitiful. What a laughable situation, anyone supporting it is a strange type of wormy maggot that’s for sure. 1

I do think you are going to have to make wholesale changes to the ECHR or ultimately leave it if you're serious about removing these people. It's genuinely outrageous that someone can cite articles from it and then we are forced to support and unable to remove genuinely evil people. Every country in the world should have the right to remove people who aren't citizens and who have committed criminal acts. Personally I think it's mad that the general public have voted to reduce immigration for decades and have basically been ignored and then you wonder why you end up with parties like reform. Maybe the mainstream parties should have done something more substantial earlier.

Having looked into it I'm pretty sure that the decision is at least partly influenced by the potential disorder for pro Palestinian protests in a high Muslim area. So it doesn't appear to me to be solely on the hooligan element of the away fans.
