Finally!!! Just finished my last shift of the year.... not back now until 6th Jan

I love how he still keeps the six pack safe

We did the quad last season plus back to back titles

Don't forget to tag Nudge in on this mate, she loves a bit of Tom Cruise...

The infighting from Labour and their followers is really weird after this result. People seem to want to put it down to one issue. Not surprising I guess because you always want to think everything was fine if it wasn't just for that one little thing. You can say that Corbyn was the biggest problem without ignoring the Brexit issues. You can say that the biased media was an issue for Labour without "blaming the defeat on the media". You can say that Brexit was a reason that people abandoned Labour without it meaning you're ignoring the Corbyn issue. The Corbyn leadership and Brexit stance issues heavily overlap. The middling stance on Brexit was an example of what people see as his lack of leadership even if you might argue his hands were ties. These things aren't as simple as "it was this thing". Not when you lose that many seats.

Went to a works Christmas party about 1969, it was snowing like fuck and I can't remember coming home, the wife said I staggered in the door about 23.00 hrs with my eye split open and the wrong coat on taken from the works party and to this day I can't remember how I got the split eye, I either fell over or got into a fight.

I don't think I have ever been that wrecked thank fuck... having said that if I had been I am probably not going to remember it

Celebration time then?

Apparently this was the artists second choice, but images of Phil Jones were deemed too offensive.

I can imagine you living next door to me, they would call you the 'Noisy Neighbour' and me the quiet one.

Who?

No Community Shield no quad simple

Agreed

The greatest manager ever lived (Pep) says it's an important bit of silverware ..who are you mortals to disagree?

After dominating for 2 years, the players are having a year off so enjoy it while you can

"A young woman, traumatized by a tragic event in her past, seeks out vengeance against men who cross her path." Definitely intriguing. I really like Carey Mulligan, so I'll definitely put it on "the list".

I was there almost a year ago on a business trip, and tbh it didn’t feel like a third world country. In some respects, it was better than the US in terms of every day shite - like well paved roads in all 3 cities I was in. Meanwhile the richest nation in the world has crumbling roads all over the country. Granted, I was in 3 massive cities - I know there’s villages and remote areas that are more like 80s & 90s China. The people I met were all quite friendly too - the ones I actually interacted with, not all the random people staring at the white guy walking around amongst them. But control of thought is very real there. If you live in China, if you’ve got an opinion on politics you keep that shit to yourself and publicly you don’t have an opinion on politics. You don’t criticise the country. And you don’t trust anybody, because the culture there is you report shit you see that looks wrong - so you keep and eye on everyone else and don’t let anyone see you fuck anything up. The party is called the Communist Party, but they’ve embraced capitalism and they’ve been rewarded with it with shitloads of money and a growing middle class that’s really changed lives for ordinary people for the better and made people happier. And at the same time, they’re still heavily oppressed and directly prohibited from free thought. But it means you should ignore the ideology listed, China is more a hyper authoritarian quasi-fascist state than anything. It’s an issue to the west when they’ve got a huge market of consumers that want to buy into our media content. But they also demand their censorship apply to the west. I think it is sad but telling that these media entities worth billions, see the prospect of more money as worth more than our values. And as Chinese censorship floods into our media, the result is our thinking will become less free as well.

Klopp’s been trying to get knocked out of the League Cup for the last 2 rounds though. We’ve pretty clearly picked that as our lowest priority tournament - I can understand why, even though I think the CWC is stupid. The league cup doesn’t really offer prize money to most clubs in the top flight, the CWC pays out millions. Also we’ve never won the CWC, we’ve won the League Cup. This season, Klopp just don’t Carabao that competition at all.
