Well that’s settled it, I’m getting a California Burrito from Roberto’s at lunch - cheers mate I agree with everything you said about immersing yourself to learn a language. Not sure I’ll be able to do that in San Diego with Mandarin... but using that app is probably a good shout.

How hard is it? Although you’re like really fucking smart and know a lot of languages already so how hard learning a new language is to you is pretty relative haha. Chinese rich people keep buying properties here and renting them out. They make all cash offers at asking price, no brained for the sellers really. It’s actually completely fucked up the housing market. But clearly they’re doing well.

It seems like they’re going to take over the world. Which is shit because I really don’t want to learn Mandarin and when I went to Beijing for work I wanted to kill myself.

He's not that far off tbh:

US support of Israel is going to push many Muslim nations into the open arms of Israel & this decision to send aid is going to send that message loud and clear to Muslim countries.

He's signed a new contract and... is probably going out on loan again for more development. Derby, Boro, Stoke, Leeds, WBA, and Villa all want him on loan.

Imagine playing for Tranmere and calling someone shit and then imagine that and not necessarily being wrong Poor Karius. Hope we sign a new keeper though.

Yep another howler against Tranmere. I've got no confidence going into the season with him as our starting keeper tbh.

Typical fucking Elon Musk, I hate that guy.

Are they coming out alright? Like health wise? No concerns of lung diseases/infections from being in a damp cave so long?

Honestly though, what an absolute shit show. Less than a year before we’re supposed to have our house in order re: Brexit and we have no clue what the deal will be AND there’s a leadership bid on the cards. The state of the UK’s leadership is an absolute shambles.

Boris Johnson has just resigned.

I had a few days off work (I'm back in the office today, gutted)… but in that time off I built myself a PC. Something I can play games on, and I haven't had a gaming PC in a long time. Now that I've got this fancy PC though all I want to do is... go back to Fallout New Vegas. So I loaded up steam and fucked off a bunch of newer graphically brilliant games and am starting a New Vegas playthrough. Any suggestions on mods for it? @Batard, New Vegas is your jam right? Any tips? It's been a long time since I've wandered the Mojave Wasteland.

Iran is so irreparably fucked & Russia is a big part of why it’s so fucked. Also Russia is poisoning people in England with chemical weapons, so they deserve some western interference. Also did you just compare my family to me wanting Putin dead? In an Iran context the closest they could be to Putin would be if they were Khameini and his family. I would be thrilled if Khameini died. I’m glad I’m not related to Putin or a Khameini. And if I was then there’d be members of my family that deserve a horrible death.

So are we okay with Russia’s nerve agent poisoning innocent people and not ex-spies. This place was weirdly okay with Russia poisoning that ex-spy and his daughter, but now 2 random people have been poisoned by the nerve agent. But what about just 2 random English people. When the West has real leadership in the English speaking countries again (well I guess Canada doesn’t look so fucking incompetent), assassinating Putin should be on the menu.

I hope you found the cannabis factory and smoked all of their bud.

It's made work drag on today. I'm not used to working a full day when I've got football to take up the first half of my day at work. Don't know why I'm complaining though, because I've done fuck all since getting back from LA and I'm leaving early as fuck today. I am truly an exemplar in professionalism.

I think the apathy keeps voter turnout low, when really we shouldn't be apathetic and demanding actual leadership from our politicians.

I honestly can't remember a time in my life, granted when I was a kid I barely gave a fuck about politics, where the political leadership in the UK just seems so devoid of leadership.

Yeah it's got a couple, but nothing major. Mostly hilarious physics bugs, which I actually love.

@LFCMike that's a beautiful dog mate

That's shite, I'm sorry to hear that

Such a shame Milad Mohammadi backed out at the last fucking second instead of doing that.
