@JoshBRFC, off-topic but you are a boxing man, that young lad in the pic was our eldest grandson when he was 10 years old, he is now 15 and in a junior boxing tournament in Motherwell, Scotland, he fought in the quarter-finals tonight and won and is in the final tomorrow, happy old man I am. He fought this guy last week who was taller than him and won, he has a great pair of hands and the future looks good and his trainer/coach said he has potential.

Many years ago in Germany still from the "old" forum. SchalkeUK was there, liverbird, Relling, that polish guy Kloppische, Panflute, that unique Canadian we once had (Tonio or something). MUFC was not around back then, thankfully.

You ever watched German hockey? My local team is quite good, and they were a real powerhouse in the 90's. Even Brendan Shanahan played for us when the NHL had a lockout. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Düsseldorfer_EG Fun fact. When I was 2 years old I was in hospital with a broken leg. And during that time said hockey team visited exactly that hospital, and me as well. I still have a hat and some autographs somewhere from that.

I dont know what the show is or who these guys are but I came accross this, oh man, nsfw but so good.

Ahh it's considered American, but it's founder and a lot of founding members are Canadian for some reason. I think people trying to bring this trucker protest to LA are in for a bad time. The Super Bowl being hosted there means there's already increased police presence, but I can see people getting very angry if the Super Bowl is delayed or if traffic in LA, which is already terrible, ends up being even worse on a day where traffic is very bad. LA road rage is scary, I'd hate to be responsible for blocking up traffic any more than anyone else because you'll make yourself a target for the many lunatics on the road there.

That stuff just makes me sick but its par for the course.. the trucker "protest" is blockading cities, highways, border crossings etc better then hospitals I suppose but its just mental they just shut this shit down. I dont think the Proud boys are Canadian but it wouldnt surprise me if there was a chapter or contingent here as well. We saw Banon propaganda panflips in my brothers fucking apartment building in Richmond which is a large city with a primarily asian population. Banon has worked his magic with a prominent chinese billionare for a little while if you want more background ill post a link..this was a little while back but you might recall reading something about this about a year ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/20/business/media/steve-bannon-china.html

Amazing pal, you should be very proud. Good luck I wish you both all the best for tomorrow . The sweet science is great for kids and is a fantastic way to teach them about respect.

We had protests like that at a children's hospitals here in San Diego as well. It was ridiculous and should have been criminal, denying kids access to healthcare or harassing them and their parents - especially as a lot of the kids at that hospital are receiving cancer treatment. That group, the Proud Boys, are Canadian no? They're pretty influential in the far right in the US as well. I'm not surprised about most of the money and organisation coming from the US - it seems to be the case now with a lot of right wing movements in the English speaking world. Look at all the places Steve Banon provided "consulting" to after leaving the Trump administration and it's not surprising it's a bunch of places with similar right wing figures.

So the long and the short of it is the money and movement comes primarily from the states. Trump endorsed it publically but hes also backed it monetarily. It goes back to a protest we had here I forgot the name.. two former nurses where the leaders and they staged a protest outside VGH .. our major hospital in downtown vancouver. They blocked ambulances.. cars... patients.. yelled and berated doctors and nurses going in and nothing was really done to quell it. They achieved their goal of making the news everywhere in the country and that was sort of the beginning or trial run so to speak. Someone again back then traced the organization the two nutjob nurses represented and shockingly again it all traced back to the states. Granted there is a contingent of idiots and rednecks here that join in and go along with it but it doesnt really represent anything other then spreading garbage and hate up here as well.

smh my answer isn't good enough

Just going through some of my old works do photos from the company I left before Christmas. Met some good people there who I’ll be definitely be staying in touch with including these in these pictures. Yes I like ripped jeans and no I haven’t fallen over. It was a messy day and night

TF365 meet up is a great reason to come home @Carnivore Chris is organising it

They were around for nearly a decade but they might have only won two games! 1,200 × 800

It's been... 10 years roughly, I think. It's kind of a long story, but I was going mental working at the family business after uni. For a bit I got another job that sort of put me on a different path and on that different path I was basically made aware another degree could open up a lot of doors for me and I was recommended some schools to apply to, including a couple of schools in the US. So I applied to some schools - and the best one I got into was in the US. I didn't really want to go, but after talking a lot with my parents/other family members I got a lot of encouragement to make the move. And then while I was getting my degree I ended up getting an internship where I'd end up getting a job offer by the company that would sponsor my first working visa in the US that was offering me a lot more money than I was getting the one job offer I had back home (if I was getting any UK offers at all, I got so many rejections it was really disheartening). So I took the option with more money, which was also nice for me because at the time I'd also started dating the woman who I'd eventually marry. Now I've ended up pretty settled here, even though when I first came over I thought I'd be back in the UK ASAP

Like @Spike, I'm not an American... but I live here, so I can maybe answer. Tbh, I don't think Biden is "as bad" or "worse" than Trump. With Trump there was just a tsunami of scandal, it felt like every week there was a new issue... and still today, the other parts of US government are still trying to deal with the behavior of Trump that often times broke many US laws. But I don't think Biden is a great president - but tbh, I never expected him to be that great of a president. I liked him more than Trump, but politically he's pretty much a bland middle of the road/business as usual type US president. And Kamala Harris is someone that I think has a better reputation with Democrats outside the state where she was elected as a Senator. But my biggest criticisms of Biden go beyond the big criticism that a lot of the more right-wing media like to hammer him for. They go after things like: inflation & the economic aftermath of COVID, which is his fault to an extent because he's President... but a big part of the issue there is he inherited a mess from a President that didn't really take steps to properly mobilise against the virus and even encouraged people not care about the pandemic. And then shit like petrol prices, where the President doesn't really have more power to do anything. My biggest criticism of Biden (and the Democratic party at large) is that he's kept a lot of Trump's foreign policy the same, while also responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan that is a direct result of the US invasion, occupation, and sudden withdrawal. And I don't think "well I'm the President, so I had to stick with my predecessors deal with the Taliban" really flies when the guy before him didn't stick with his predecessors deal with an also shitty but less shitty group of people in the region. And with his domestic agenda, he and his party have sat on their slight advantage and managed to barely get anything meaningful passed. Trump only really got one meaningful law through congress - his big tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy... but at least that was a cornerstone of his agenda. Biden campaigned on a lot of things but it doesn't look like he'll get any meaningful legislation passed on his watch... and it's looking like Republicans will take the House and Senate again, and then he'll definitely not get anything passed. But he's basically been the President I expected him to be. Moderate Democrats might as well be the moderate Republicans of 10 years ago, so it's not surprising that he doesn't seem too different to Trump.

Thats awesome! I do know a decent amount of players do finish their careers in europe. Give them one last chance to try something new as they wind down to retirement.

You had a forum meet up? Where was that? Did you get any feet pictures? Asking for a friend @MUFC. I would never have thought you weighed 100kg more than you currently do, you look well in all the pics I’ve seen.

Ever since I was a teenager I was a bit on the chubby side. Once in my mid 20's I weight almost 100kg. Then I started working out and lost a lot of weight, but was still a bit chubby-ish as you can see on the pictures of the forum meet-up we have somewhere around here. But when the first lockdown started and I started to gain weight again, I started working out seriously, and without breaking my workout routine. Now for the first time in my life I am quite athletic. Feels good and comes with so many benefits. Better mental health, more confidence etc. I could never do more than 20 push-ups as well. But if you stick with it your body improves and adapts so quickly.

Yeah he’s not the Glazer family

That’s good. I had a break over Christmas. Just starting again with the basics, I’ve never gone to the gym in my life but I’m considering it this year. To maintain a health and balanced lifestyle you don’t need a gym anyway, but I just want to try it out. I’ve always been naturally good with cardio and I’m back in the swing doing a few miles every few days. However I’ve started the more physical side now, only baby steps… and you’re right what you said in the other topic regarding push-ups. I started managing 20 the other day and I’ve never done them.. few days later into the 30s now. I know that’s nothing but when you’ve hardly ever done them in your life before.

Shut up you cunt. x

Shows you how bad my eye sight is even with glasses on, I thought it read Devil Van Devil

People with funny feet more than likely.

Bloody hell @Aladdin, you love changing your name, Devil Van Devil, Azeem, Khan of TF365 and now a guy with a magic lamp

Cressida Dick has resigned/been sacked by Sadiq Khan. My favourite tweet of the year so far I think.

Vettel literally bottled every single title fight he was a part of as long as you don't count the four that he won.

Our daughter just sent me this photo via text message, look at the size of the guy Connor beat (Connor on the left) I can remember Connor when he was 10 years old and we met our daughter in the local Cafe, Connor asked me what was a Glasgow kiss, I told him and he said "like this granddad..." ouch

GPS tracking of six wolfs in different packs in a national park. Highly territorial animals.

Fuck me sideways and call me @MUFC my god you’re hard work.

Nice to have some certainty for the forseeable future.
