  3. The use of shadow in that painting is absolutely amazing. I remember seeing it a while ago and thinking how real it looked.

Week 32 Results Man City Women 3-1 Man Utd Women Republic of Ireland 0-0 Belgium Stockport 5-0 MK Dons England 0-1 Brazil France 0-2 Germany Charlotte FC 2-0 Columbus Crew Costa Rica 3-1 Honduras Everton Women 0-0 Liverpool Women San Marino 0-0 St Kitts & Nevis Italy 2-0 Ecuador Round-up Mixture of internationals and domestic fixtures sprung up some interesting results. And with that said, lots of praise for @Rucksackfranzose for getting 18 points which propels him up into the chasing pack, and into 5th place. And not only that, he was also the only one to predict the goalless draw in the Women's Merseyside derby. Next best were myself and @Tommy with 13 points. The latter capitalising on Nawoo not predicting and closing the gap to 2 points. @Viva la FCB closed the gap on @CaaC (John) to just 3 points.

  6. At the bolded part: You're neither an Israeli nor living in Israel, so nobody asks you to do anything like this you mentioned.Know you're Jewish, yet while there are Jews like you, who aren't Israeli exist, there are also Muslim and Christian Israelis. Stop that equating the state of Israel with the Jewish community, it's outright wrong.

Congrats to the winner and in tow we have @Bluewolf in second and @CaaC (John) in third (who wasn't very far from a second spot himself). Thank you everyone for playing and can we get a round of applause for the returning champion of this game, I am thinking no one can really dethrone him as he cements himself in Sheep lore as the best Sheep of the bunch. Thank you to all who participated this season and if we ever do this again I have some thoughts on how to keep it moving a bit more regularly. Till the next time, thank you once again.

  8. Results - Australian Grand Prix A broad mixture of scores this week, starting off with a 0 for @Whiskey who didn't make any predictions. Qualifying was more or less business as usual, with @MUFC the only person to gamble on someone other than Max Verstappen for pole position. Leclerc sadly blew his last qualifying effort leaving him empty-handed, with everyone else bagging 5 points for the usual VER pole. Also resolved on Saturday was this week's bonus question. Not helped by Ricciardo's deleted lap-time seeing him knocked out in Q1, nobody predicted a gap between him and Piastri of anything like the 1.5 seconds that Piastri had out-stripped his compatriot by come the end of Q3, so 2 consolation points go to @OrangeKhrush who predicted the largest margin of anyone. Onto the race, and wouldn't you know that it took until just the second race after we started predicting "top three without Verstappen" that this ends up being the actual top three in the race. The change in this prediction achieved what we wanted anyway, with a variety of Perez, Norris, Ferrari and Mercedes picks yielding a nice mixture of scores. Nobody predicted Sainz in 1st place, but 2 points each go to @RandoEFC, @Tommy, @Coma and @DeadLinesman for putting him elsewhere in their top three. Everyone predicted a top three finish for Charles Leclerc, with @RandoEFC, @Stan, @Tommy, @nudge, @The Palace Fan and @DeadLinesman all bagging 5 points for putting him in P2, everyone else picking up 2 - the only points of the weekend in @MUFC's case. @Stan, @nudge and @OrangeKhrush all distinguished themselves by rounding off their podium predictions with Lando Norris in 3rd, collecting them another 5 points each. The presence of Perez in everyone's top three prevented anyone from bagging the 20 points for a perfect podium. Finally, this week's random driver was Oscar Piastri at his home race. Nobody was bold enough to predict a finish as high as 4th for him, but @RandoEFC was closest with 6th place here so picks up an extra 2 points. Here's what it does for the standings: Three races in, defending champion @RandoEFC sneaks to the top of the standings with a 1 point lead ahead of previous leader @Tommy. @MUFC's poor weekend and @Whiskey's no-show this weekend see them propping up the standings. In the Constructors', a mediocre week for Mercedes sees them drop from 1st to 4th. Red Bull raked in the highest points tally this week but it's McLaren who sneak into the top spot in a close battle between them, Red Bull and Aston Martin. I'm going away tomorrow so I'll be posting the predictions for next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix this afternoon.

  10. So our self proclaimed liberitarian shows their true colours. You're not a libertarian which would be unpleasant enough, you're indeed an authoritarian proto-fascist. Or is there a possibility to interprete that sentence in any other way than supporting oppression and withhold of liberty?

  17. The global community wants to tear apart Israel? Since when? The so called Western states showed a lot of solidarity towards Israel, not only the US but also Canada,Australia ;Japan , and the EU. You were deluded, if you thought otherwise. If these countries would indeed do what they can to pull Israel apart, or had done so in that countrie's history Israel wouldn't exist anymore.

  21. Has no experience as a manager, yet served as Freiburg's connection coach between youth and first team, whatever that job entails. Somebody, who played for Streich and was a long-time member of his coaching staff. Apparently Freiburg want to continue on their path. Wise decision, although Schuster will find it hard to follow in Streich's footsteps. Wish him all the best, would be great, if Freiburg carried on to be successful for a club with their history and financial means. Was tempted to say their size, but they've grown creditably in the last 10 years.

  22. Predictions - Japanese Grand Prix I'm posting these very early as I'm off on holiday tomorrow. I'll try my best to tag reminders next Friday ahead of qualifying which will be early Saturday morning for most of us! @RandoEFC @Stan @MUFC @Tommy @nudge @Whiskey @The Palace Fan @Coma @DeadLinesman @OrangeKhrush Pole Position - Which driver will post the fastest lap in Q3? [INSERT DRIVER] Podium - Which drivers will finish the Grand Prix in the top three positions AFTER MAX VERSTAPPEN IS REMOVED FROM THE RESULTS? 1. [INSERT DRIVER] 2. [INSERT DRIVER] 3. [INSERT DRIVER] Random Driver - Predict the finishing position of this week's random driver, Pierre Gasly. [INSERT POSITION] Bonus Question - We've done this one before - which driver's finishing position will outperform their current Drivers' Championship position by the most places? E.G. if Carlos Sainz finishes 2nd, he will have outperformed his current position in the Drivers' Championship (4th) by 2 places. If nobody picks the "biggest overperformer", then I'm going to give the full 5 points rather than 2 consolation points to whoever makes the best pick. [INSERT DRIVER]

  24. Sorry Cicero, next time I share something that's being reported by several news outlets simultaneously ill trawl through over two years of media articles on that football club just to check it's never been mentioned in passing, if you feel that's more of a priority than trying to evoke some form of discussion.

  26. Oh for sure. Iranian Kurds have been the amongst the most vocal and active in the human rights movement in Iran since Mahsa Amini's death (she was also a Kurd, weirdly). But yeah, the Kurds of Syria and Iraq (and probably many other parts of the Middle East) often find themselves ignored up until the West needs them for another misadventure in the Middle East... and then they are quickly betrayed and left to fend for themselves against groups that think they're subhuman and must be wiped off the planet. The strangest thing with me is the Kurdish groups that kill each other, even though they both want the same things but have different ideas of how to get it. So rather than work together and live with the difference of opinion, they do the work of those who hate the existence of Kurds and kill each other.

  29. Being anti-Jewish is okay and is freedom of speech. Being anti-Israel isn't okay and is antisemitic. That seems to be how conservative political coverage works in America. Along with how Republican politicians also think (or are bought to think).

  32. All I've managed to glean is that the big, strong, beer-breathed flag shaggers who are known for saying things like "we could do with a good war to toughen up this snowflake generation" as if they speak with some authority despite the last world war ending 20 years before they were born, have seen the pink and purple bits and been reminded of the rainbows that have them waking up at night in cold sweats. Remember though it's the "woke brigade" that are snowflakes, offended by everything and need to be toughened up.

  39. So Alex Albon destroyed his car in Practice, leaving the chassis un-raceable. They don't have a spare chassis so they've withdrawn Sargeant from the weekend to give Albon his car. Obviously no right-thinking team would do anything different but that's some kick in the teeth for Logan.
