Seen a guy in Glasgow airport in October in full Sunderland kit, including captains armband.

Honestly can’t imagine what these people are like to be around and what their group chat must look like.

i own a few NBA jerseys myself so i can’t judge too much, but for a while i enjoyed yelling at people wearing them:
“holy shit, it’s kobe bryant!” (white guy wearing a bryant jersey) and then, “wait a minute, YOU’RE not kobe bryant! you’re an imposter! you’re just wearing his clothes!”

Loads of great great people go the match.
We used to do afters at a great Japanese joint in the ID - Tsukushinbo (very much missed). It was a favourite of the Japanese players on the Mariners baseball team. Mike Hirakawa–the owner and sushi chef–would get really lit and come out of the kitchen wearing one of the all-star jerseys. He was short in stature and so the kit would come down nearly to his ankles and it was so ridiculous…

On tick lad.
Some proper tools, I shudder to think. Had the misfortune of going to England v Germany in 1999, the last game at the old Wembley… Lad next to me was head to toe in Burberry check. Had a downer on Inglund ever since.

I can’t imagine a drab 1-0 home defeat cheered up the England fans last night.
A glance at the fixtures on BBC sport last night and noticed that the Qatar match was cancelled (perhaps obviously), yet Iran won 5-0 at home. Make of that what you will

Our Australian PM held a national address last night where he basically stated “We’re not an active participant in this war. Things might get worse over the coming months, we’ll try to protect Australia, save fuel where you can, don’t panic buy. We’re working on getting more resources from overseas (both parties), go about your lives as normal.”
I understand Starmer made a similar address. A popular opinion here seems to be that this was a “softening” for the shit show that’s about to befall all of our lives. Is that the sentiment in the UK as well?
One wag summed up the Aus PM’s speech as follows
"Hey cunts.
This petrol sitch isn’t our fault. It’s the war 'n that, eh.
It’s a bit of a cunt for everyone.
Let’s all try not to be cunts eh? Wadaya reckon?"

At least he was being somewhere close to honesty. The oil shock of 1973 was seismic in its repercussions, repercussions that we are still living in the shadow of in 2026. This has the potential to be orders of magnitude worse. Yet, there is barely any acknowledgement of this from our politicians or press. Starmer’s address was a perfect microcosm of how far politics has separated from reality.

Not sure where to put this but last night played a gig and let’s just say the crowd was less than enthused to what I had to offer. Almost comically so. I cleared the dance floor a few times but the one that hurt was when I thought I’d win them over with Josephine into Strange Kind of Love. It didn’t.
Been a while since that happened and I thought I was playing pretty obvious stuff. (Well to people on here it would’ve been). What they wanted was ABBA, The Bee Gees, and “John summit energy EDM”. You win some, you lose some.

I know we’ve said this before but people who use LinkedIn as their social media.

It’s awful isn’t it? And seems to be getting worse and more Facebook-like every day. Unfortunately, I have to use it for managing our work account but the humblebrags and the pure cringe are now being joined by boomer political posts and personal shite too.
As a counterpoint I can highly recommend the LinkedIn Lunatics subreddit. Very funny in the comments.

I’ve found that for mainstream crowds stuff like 80s rnb - Mary Jane Girls, Dennis Edwards - gets these types of people going. And always fall back on the Mac - I’ve seen many a tipsy white lady lose their shit to this Marcia Griffiths Fleetwood Mac cover I discovered in this very forum!

Linked In is such an embarrassment. I’m constantly receiving requests to ‘connect’ with work colleagues I barely know. I wouldn’t p*ss on half of them if they were on fire, and the absolute nonsense they post only reaffirms that.
Someone should invent a ‘Linked In’ Bingo if they haven’t already. I’m sure “I’m absolutely thrilled…” is a top scorer. Bore off you bunch of brown nosers.
The grump has returned.

Sorry got a bit carried away there.
Another thing I’m struggling to get is the sheer volume of wilfully ignorant people claiming the Artemis mission (for instance) is fake?! Why would it be?
Are we seeing an increase in general stupidity or has it always been this way, and we’re just more easily exposed to it?

i have no data to back this up, but it just feels like contrarianism is on the rise. it doesn’t matter what it is, there’s always a loud, growing contingent of voices that just want to disagree with anything/everything.
