Isn’t that the new deadline. I want to know what the deadline after January 31 will be.

There’s a new deadline. I wonder when the next deadline will be.

Nike won the case. Not sure how I feel about it tbh - because I don't really buy kits. But the New Balance ones were really nice looking and fairly unique, imo. But the big criticism was that New Balance's distribution was crap so the shirts would always sell out and then it would take forever for them to be back in stock. Nike's unlikely to have stocking issues like New Balance. But the kits are probably going to look generic as fuck, because that's what Nike does - just recycles the same year's designs around for as many clubs and international sides as possible. They're also a pretty horrible company - though I'm pretty sure all of these kit manufacturers are as well. And we had Adidas as a kit maker before and they're just as bad as Nike.

Chicago does have very good beer and a lot of breweries. It's also actually the one place I've found where quite a few places had San Diego beers - and there are some really great stores just for buying bottles of beer from literally all over the world in Chicago. So yeah, Chicago might be THE beer Mecca - but I maintain that San Diego is probably the big beer capital west of Chicago. Virginia's supposed to have a few great local breweries as well. And as @Eco mentioned, Ohio's got quite a few big ones as well. Texas has some beer companies that are very popular in Texas... but imo they're shite beers - at least the ones I had. But I disagree on nothing wrong with Budweiser or Coors, other than... they're better than Miller (marginally). If I want a cheap lager, I'd much rather have a Stella or a Becks or one of the Mexican lagers than Budweiser/Coors - and if you buy your cheap beers in bulk (which you should) it's a marginal difference for a better cheap beer. But yeah PBR (I've not had the other one) shits on Budweiser and Coors imo. I don't drink lagers all that much though.

You’ve uh just quoted yourself there mate

Holy shit that’s fucked up

Apparently I can't give out any more rep thingies anymore today. So please imagine that I've just upvoted or given the heart rep thing to that post

Well if you do, let me know and we will get drunk as fuck

If I'm around let's get drunk as fuck mate

A lot of them don't. I used to feel the same way until I moved here and everyone was drinking craft beer at every bar and I figured "fuck it, I'll try one." A lot of these breweries I think are aware of that sort of perception of craft beer - so they usually have a few beers that are meant to taste a bit "normal." If you ever come to San Diego, you owe it to yourself to try some of the fucking beer here - it's ridiculous.

Oh and my favourite breweries off that list would have to be: AleSmith (if you like ales of any sort, check them out - my favourite is a Pale Ale, Alesmith .394; it's got something to do with San Diego legend Tony Gwynn but who cares about the backstory - it's good beer). Karl Strauss (probably SD's first "big" craft beer brewery - all of their shite is great imo. My favourite's an IPA called Aurora Hoppyallis, it's fucking great) Belching Beaver (hilarious name - their "normal" beers aren't my favourite, but they have this peanut butter stout and it's fucking fantastic - forget the specific name of it) Societe Mikkeller It might be harder to find those away from San Diego though - although maybe not Karl Strauss, I was able to find some of that the last time I was in San Francisco. But it might be harder to find that out of California. The easier to find San Diego beers would be: Stone - probably our biggest brewery; I think they opened a brewhouse in Germany as well. Balast Point - they got bought out by the people that own Modelo, I think. Their quality though, has gone waaaaaay south since they're no longer independent though. But if you like IPAs, Sculpin (and the variants of it) are worth trying. If I go to the store though, I'm either going to grab myself AleSmith or Karl Strauss 9/10 times though. But yeah, American beer is only shit if you assume that Americans only drink Budweiser, Coors, and Miller. But the craft beer scene in America is otherworldly - Americans like beer and they like things that taste good, so America's got some really great beer.

San Diego is a beer MECCA. For instance, you listed Goose Island as a fantastic beer - but here it's considered a "meh" beer because the city has so many breweries and is subsequently full of beer snobs. Just look at this fucking list: https://www.sandiego.org/articles/breweries/san-diego-breweries.aspx It's also the drink driving capital of California. I'm sure it's related

I think Vloggers in general are cringey as fuck. Blogs too, but at least those promote reading...

Mate in the future... don't vote on shite that's that important without researching. It's better to not vote than to make an uninformed vote. Granted, a shitload of people probably voted without being informed. But that's their own fucking fault and the country has to pay for it. But ultimately, the massive and complex impact of Brexit really meant this should have been a decision for our elected representatives (who are supposed to be more informed than the fucking public, but... lol I don't think that's true) rather than the public at large. So... massively irresponsible and stupid from Cameron really, but we all knew that. Lib Dems are the fucking worst. They serve the purpose of sucking away votes from people that rightly dislike tories, but then fall for the bullshit tories and the media push about Labour so they feel they can't vote Labour, so instead they'll vote for lib dems. Who really just serve the economic interests of the tories. And we saw the last time they formed a coalition, lib dems will fucking fold when their ideological positions challenge tory positions - just for a bit of power. Fuck em.

That sounds like Rodgers

The entire Doom soundtrack is stolen from 80s and 90s music. I wonder if it’s why I like metal

I started binging Slayer a few hours ago and now I can’t stop. Slayer’s first 5 albums saw me through a very stressful period of my life so they’ll always have a special place in my heart

Would be a good signing for any club playing attacking football. Would be a very good signing for Leicester.

Wtf did I just watch

I imagine most human trafficking is done by criminal gangs, but I don't really know anything about human trafficking... so it's just an assumption I'm making based on the fact it's illegal and seems organised - so it looks like organised crime.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-50150070 39 people found dead in a shipping container in a lorry in Essex. Wtf

I like that content doesn’t have to be in the stadium. Because if it was in the stadium it’s probably harder to fake having an actual atmosphere

Seen some other shite on social media of other things that happened on Old Trafford that are perhaps unsavoury but aren't really talked about. But it's not too surprising, there's a huge number of dickheads out there in the world. It's a big match between the two big clubs in the league - you're going to get some jumped up dickheads being... dickheads. And there's stuff that might be distasteful... but at this point if you're a Liverpool fan you've heard it all before from fans from all over the country. But regarding this racist fan that United were investigating... the investigation is over. He's been given a lifetime ban from Old Trafford for racially abusing TAA. Good on the club & the United fans who reported him for his abuse.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THE BEST NEWS STORY I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50137450 This sounds like a comedy film. One that I would watch and probably enjoy

Nah like a few minutes before Fab did his challenge. He lay there rolling his head until the ref blew the whistle and then he immediately popped back up and wanted to get on with the match - at least the ref made him get to the sidelines. But if he’s got a history of doing that, well I’m not surprised. He’s got that Rivaldo quality of making a meal of every touch, the little cunt
