Not a problem, its not much and im happy to help a little

Absolute wankers. Like the arseholes who starting taking momentos and leaving their names etched on ruins when Derwent Water dried up last summer revealing the submerged village. Why can't people leave things alone?

Jacob Rees-Mogg is everything I dislike about society rolled up into one scrawny little shit of a human

So kind of like Salihamidzic at Bayern

Just realised @Cicero is a parent after his post in the Sleep thread

Yea, I'd say so. A typical Finn, so usually quite reserved. He has become a bit of a Meme too, and people call him "Robottas" because of his behaviour Although it remains unclear whether he's a robot or not: https://streamable.com/ai496

Live broadcast of the Beresheet lunar landing will start in about 4 hours (9:45pm Israel time). Landing process will start at 10:05pm. Landing expected to happen at 10:25pm.

The damn cover messes with me, I'll have to read this on my kindle.

His job apparently is to parrot anything that Hoeneß or Rummenigge says during awkward press conferences

Nah he's not - he was apparently employed as some sort of staff but nobody knows exactly what he was doing apparently From NZZ: "Der frühere französische Nationalspieler hatte beim FCZ erst am 1. März begonnen. Was er in diesen paar Wochen genau getan hat, weiss man nicht recht. Er war vor allem eine Art Liebhaberobjekt des Präsidenten Ancillo Canepa, der schon immer eine Schwäche für grosse Namen hatte. Nebenbei soll Malouda ,38, beim Training mitgeholfen und ein paar Koordinationsprojekte verfolgt haben. Jedenfalls ist die kurze Liaison nun schon wieder vorbei. Maloudas Arbeit beim FCZ sei mit seinen anderen Projekten nicht kompatibel."

Still jealous at how close you lot are to Europe. Japan on Sunday. Not sure if I’ve mentioned it but I’ve not been before. Taking the gf.

is MUFC the hero TF365 doesn't deserve?

So you know him, I take it?... Nah don't think so. Really can't be arsed to have this "discussion" again, it's been going for years now. It's no secret Schumi was ruthless and always pushing the limits on track and was capable of dirty tricks in order to win at any price necessary; I don't think even his biggest fans ever denied that. 94 in Adelaide with Damon Hill and 97 in Jerez with Villeneuve as well as the qualifying incident in Monaco 06 are good examples of that. I won't dispute the 97 and 06 ones at all because they were indeed very blatant attempts to gain advantage unfairly, but both backfired completely and he didn't benefit from them one bit. Now let's take a look at the 1994 season. I love it how that video MUFC posted uses some certain facts to nicely confirm its claims yet conveniently leaves some other ones that do not fit into the narrative out. First of all, everyone who follows the sport for that long knows that all teams have always done their best to find a way around regulations and get an advantage, whether fairly or not; the general attitude was always along the lines of "it's not cheating if you don't get caught" and that's why we always had so many parts and systems deemed illegal and banned at some point. Now in that particular season such cheating was extremely rampant, and I don't doubt for one second that Benetton was one of the teams who did it but it's a bit weird that only they are being brought into the center of these allegations despite the fact that they were the only ones who actually got shafted with penalties and fines throughout the season while the others were not. What's even weirder is the fact that it's Schumacher who's being blamed for his team running allegedly illegal cars as if he was some sort of a mastermind behind that. Anyway, let's take a more detailed look at the specifics of these claims. Those fuel valves allegations - as it was found out later in that season, fuel filter tampering was done by all but 4 of the teams on the grid that year and Benetton's was only investigated because of Verstappen's car going into flames in the garage. Benetton was cleared off any cheating here. Launch/traction control - apparently was hidden somewhere in the software of the car but has never been proved to have actually been used (doesn't mean they didn't either). Meanwhile, Ferrari were caught running traction control at the Pacific GP and one of their drivers openly admitted it but they were let off the hook completely. McLaren were caught using an illegal fully automated gear shifting in Häkkinen's car but escaped without any punishment as well. Schumacher crashing into Hill in Adelaide was borderline for me but in fact Hill benefited heavily from Schumacher race bans earlier in the season - 3 of which were later deemed invalid as per the FIA's own rules - and that's the only reason he was anywhere near Schumi in Championship points in the first place. But nevermind, even if you take that one WDC from him because of the Hill incident and the allegations that Benetton had an illegal car, it's still 6 on his account that he won fair and square as the best driver all while helping build a proper team from a mess that was Ferrari and which then went on to dominate for almost a decade despite not winning a single one since the 70s. No controversies or British media narratives who always painted him as a ruthless German villain can take it away from him.

I was on vacation on Malta when that accident happened. I didn't see it live, but my dad called me and told me that something horrible has happened, but he wasn't sure what exactly because the information leaked through slowly. I remember next race they prepared his car for the race as if nothing happened and as if he'd climb in any second. And then they just had it sitting in the garage as a tribute.
