  1. Twitter won't do shit about racism. Racism whips up a frenzy of activity on twitter from racist idiots looking to join in on the "fun" of being cunts to people anonymously on the internet. Then there'll be a headline about the terrible shit that's being said on twitter and... the twitter board of directors probably high fives that they've gotten twitter to show up in the news again. All publicity is good publicity and all that. It's the same reason they don't do anything about bots and fake users, despite all the negative coverage about that.

  2. Well... The premise is pretty much the same in both but the movie focused on the world without children, its implications and hope (or lack thereof) for humanity whereas the book was more interested in the politics, abuse of power, path to dictatorship in such society. So still a decent dystopian novel, but the movie was by far more powerful and thought-provoking. Honestly I would have forgotten about the book already if I hadn't watched the movie.

  3. Then it will be between 394 and 413 meters... So yeah; 400 meters is still a safe bet it seems.

  5. @The Rebel CRS, my calculations also came out very close to 400 yards so that should be a good bet.

  6. Children of Men - 8/10 Finally got around to watching this for the first time. Great cast/collection of actors and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Takes a few to set up the back story and the bleakness and then shifts into gear fast with some edge of the seat suspense. Unique idea and well done by the end of it, highly recommend checking this one out if you havent yet.

  7. Kante is one of the best box to box midfielders in Europe, I’m not surprised he made a massive impact. I think most sides would look much better with him in the midfield. He’s an absolute beast. I also thought Pulisic and Pedro both looked very good. When Pedro is in form like that, I love watching him play because you can see him just reading the play so well. Although I don’t enjoy it as much when it’s against us and he’s causing problems for us. Where Chelsea’s problems lie, imo, are at the back. Mostly at CB, where Zouma (who looked quite good at Everton last season) just looks like a mistake waiting to happen. And Christensen is a kid, he’s a good kid but it’s a position where experience matters and sometimes he’ll show naivity. And they’ve also got problems at the striker situation, but they’ve also got a kid they’re developing. But if Giroud or Tammy were better finishers and their good chances were at least on target, there’s a good chance that’d have ended with a FT result in Chelsea’s favour. That might be a bit harsh because Giroud scored, but he also spurned good chances. And Tammy missed a sitter after winning that (non) penalty (also that was the moment where I lost all faith in VAR, although I think the summer should have taught me that - but that’s besides the point). But there was plenty to be encouraged with for Chelsea. Yeah, there are obvious issues - but there’s a lot of positives about the current squad and a long season to work out those issues. Looks like Chelsea have a bit of an easier run after starting with 2 matches against our top 6. I think they’ll pick up plenty of points

  9. Just got back from the hospital.... was clearing some of the garden weeds this morning round the side of the house and bent down to pull some out of the floor and something stung me and as I pulled my arm back straight on to the open Secateurs and sliced my arm open just above the wrist, the blood starting pissing out and had to hold it over the drain until the missus got a tea towel round it... Had to go and have stitches in, just missed some vital arteries.. the pain is unreal What a pleb...
