Thanks mate, I'm actually feeling a lot better compared to how I felt a few hours ago. Honestly, it just feels like a mild cold - if I had to compare it to anything. I think I'll be fine long-term.

Heard he makes a good Carbonara.

Right up @MUFC's street.

Look, I’d happily give him my bratwurst.

Oh hello and thanks for the concern. Life’s been hectic. Really hectic. Babies + work + operation etc etc. I thought I’d pop back in here though and be an early Xmas present for at least @Bluewolf and @CaaC (John).

Been a while since I’ve graced you all with my long headed presence. Merry Christmas cunts. This demon is all I need for Christmas, hope you all have a great one and are surrounded by those you love. Think that’s a bit of my daughters cake in my beard, but the memory of the photo is what counts.

Well-preserved dinosaur embryo fossil has been discovered in China. Very interesting Twitter thread about it:

too cheap!

Yes!! Love these. Full Version on YouTube.

Bet SirBalon would love them...

This is only true if you view COVID entirely through the eyes of the UK. I would say, rather than prioritising boosters for healthy young people here, we should be getting them out to large parts of the world with poor access to them and to people at far greater risk of being very ill. This prioritising of ourselves is party of the problem.

Fingers crossed pal

Vaccination clearly helps, and I’d recommend it to anyone. However, there’s become a hysteria that somehow unvaccinated people are a great danger, not only to themselves but everyone else. It’s a ludicrous state of affairs, especially given how large parts of the world remain unvaccinated through no fault of their own.

That sucks to hear. Hope all is ok.

They shouldn't, but our lot apparently follow the science and 'have a plan, unlike England' (the customary jab to wank themselves off to). When Drakeford was asked why individuals would be penalised for going to work at a time where money is tight, he completely dodged the question Boris style by saying that it was in place earlier in the pandemic (it wasn't) and mentioned about how employers would be fined if workplaces weren't safe and that it wasn't about penalising individuals (despite.....making.....the......fine.....legal?). Starting to question this as well now. Like most, I've had three jabs in the space of 8 months and yet we're being told that this isn't enough. Do we have another booster in 3 months and will continue to do so (only have to see the fear and panic induced by the UK Governments over Omicron to see that)? If we don't continue to have booster after booster after booster, are we immediately red flagged and people make it as difficult as possible? A lot of questions for the future. Any pics?

Another Lee Child - Jack Reacher book just arrived from Amazon towards my collection, read this a few years back but worth another read over Xmas.

Several sources reporting that in fact, yes, Omicron is as inherently mild as we first thought. You wouldn’t know it in the UK though. The fear machine is in full overdrive.

Legend John. Thanks to everyone who has donated. Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas.

I can see why Nudge is in love with him.

This is me while you have all the fun in F1.

It's Stan, I heard he puts football above F1 title deciding season finale

same difference. cars round a track and all that jazz

Especially you! I heard you were crying most nights when you saw @Toinho wasn't logging on...

Won a tenner on a scratch card so donated it in here as a Xmas present and we have cracked the £100 mark now

always found the way Kholi winds up aussies very ironic. He's literally the most Aussie non aussie playing cricket today. Sleeve tats, arrogant cunt, win at all costs attitude. But he winds up Aussies who don't even for a second recognize hes the very thing they cheer for. Like a more talented, less cunty, less cheaty warner.

Schumacher did wreck that thing a few times to be fair.

This resonates with the current COVID situation. Written by Alt-J in the midst of the pandemic and the effect of losing a loved one...

It is odd he didn't get punishment. I agree with what your assistant said this morning though - players make mistakes and get punished, managers make mistakes and get punished. Referees do it and almost escape punishment and are back reffing barely a few days later in some cases. The lack of culpability after a series of errors across the officials is what angers me the most. I can accept that people will make mistakes, but to not learn from them is where the issue lies. And that goes beyond Tierney or any other individual on the pitch - it's a heated environment which requires split-second decisions (VAR should rectify that but misuse of it needs to be worked on). It's the lack of guidance from above them i.e. Mike Riley at PGMOL. He's not fit to lead that team and there needs to be a change in how officiating is done in this league/country. While I agree Tierney made mistakes at the weekend, he's not the only one and there is a bigger picture here. He'll take the flak while his seniors hide away.

and even when i wasnt watching much i thought about lyon ‘this is the best we have?’ but hey guess he proved me wrong, he has 400 test wickets and i have 400 wanks a year ask me again if australia lose a test

he isn’t the greatest player of all time and that makes him mediocre? yeah he isn’t warne or muralithran but he is a work horse that can work thirty overs and leave the pace attack fresh, look at england working ben stokew into dust because they don’t have anyone that do a marathon. he dropped 400 wickets like he dropped his wife and kids for an instathot, ice cold. don’t really know what you want or what kind of standards you have but i have been happy with megamind’s career and performances for australia. the players seem to like him and he has meme status in the team, played over 100 tests, couple of ten wicket hauls and ever more fifers, yeah he doesn’t WOW but he is pretty reliable and having that reliable player for 100 tests is pretty great. fuck mate look at this england side they are relying on a fifty year old pace bowler, longevity is underrated seems like you expect excellence at a ridiculous degree which is fine I guess, you were bagging on warner a lot and despite his faults has been a magnificent player for australia for a long time

Just because we're legalizing weed?

I'd already lost much faith in the political system of the UK. And subsequently with Brexit and COVID... I'm feeling like my plans to move back home anytime in the next few years are pretty much dead. I don't really have regrets in moving away from home anymore. Granted, I've moved to the US and my already shaky faith in the US political system has been similarly been eroded to how I felt about the UK. Maybe I'll try Canada or Germany next.

U.S voted No, Israel abstained

@MUFC

Still one of the greatest things ever created. The comments section is a gold mine.

Is this really going on in Australia? I know the site it comes from is dodgy. Just wondering.

Just opened my Wrapped summary on Spotify and dammit if my kids didn't hijack my account. Top songs were Old Town Road and something about fucking Chug Jugs in Fortnite.

For All Mankind.

That kinda explains it tbh. WWII atrocities could have been avoided if only the stupid twat had a nice steak once a week...

Late Saturday night my partners waters broke. She blames me creating a party atmosphere after Odsonne Edouard's debut. Anyway the waters broke but my partner never went in to labour. They gave her Oxytocin Monday afternoon which led to abnormally painful contractions. She was in the very small number of people that Epidurals have zero effect on. After 13 hours of being witness to what I can only describe as a live exorcism she had just dilated 3 centimetres as the baby wouldn't put his head in the engaged position and he was now very distressed. The doctors called for an emergency C-Section and thankfully that's where our luck changed. The spinal worked on my partner and Noah entered the world at 0718 weighing 6.7lbs. Him and mother have been doing very well and they're hopeful they'll be released tomorrow.

Some say it’s child abuse. I disagree.

FUCK OFF NETFLIX.
