If anything Corbyn's steadfast refusal not to get drawn into slandering the opposition and the pro-Tory media's continuous ongoing hatchet job centring on him and Diane Abbott suggest it's actually the right wing who have class and standard issues. Does anyone remember that time the Daily Mail ran a...

I have no problem with Corbyn getting in (I have a big problem if we end up half staying in the EU, but that’s a totally separate issue). If he is voted in, so be it. I won’t vote for him, but then, if the Tories balls up Brexit, I won’t be voting for them either. The problem I have with Corbyn, wh...

You might like to think it’s bull. A few years ago I became a shop steward at work. On our sexual harassment training one of the true test cases was used. A new contractor secretary after several weeks of the M.D. walking past her her and saying good morning put in a sexual harassment case against ...

I think what this really shows is how easy it is to generate a story from a handful of comments on the internet. What would have been said in the pub 20 years ago now has a worldwide audience and the media have discovered what an easy way it is to write a story that will get some advertising revenu...

Surprised at how many seem to rate Walcott, I've never thought he was a top 4 player and for me he typifies Arsenal's transformation into the lightweight, toothless also rans they've slowly become since he arrived there.

SammyBoy

Kinda funny how things change, only 12 months ago the political right would have laughed their cocks off at the suggestion Corbyn could one day be PM, but as demonstrated by the OP it's now clearly starting to become a worry. I also think the Tories would jump at the chance to have their own version...

Calories in vs calories out is basic thermodynamics and it's a law that is very real. I believe that you can eat carbs and lose weight as long your total intake of carbs isn't excessive, for example I wouldn't not have mashed potatoes with a meal just because it contains carbs. In general, have thre...

SammyBoy

If you want to lose weight just eat a balanced diet and ensure you have a small calorie deficit, combined with some moderate exercise a couple of times a week you should see progress. It sounds simple but I can't believe how many people continue to chase fad diets or listen to celebrity health gurus...

There would definitely be trouble if there were two teams as it'd just make it more convenient for the empty heads to kick off. I also second what Elwa says about the Merseyside derby, I've got a couple of Evertonian mates and there's real hatred for Liverpool. I'm not sure if it's slightly one way ...

Never been much of a gambler, I tried for a bit and never won a bet. Just the thought of donating a tenner to the bookies winds me up too much so I've never really bothered since.

Bitcoin isn't fully anonymous though, you can still track the transactions even if you can't see who they are between. Something like Monero is fully private. Can't Bitcoins go to certain wallets where they can be 'washed'? Thus removing all trace of the sender, I remember my mate saying he did thi...

That could have been said about Leicester before it went minority white. I lived in Leicester for 3 years and enjoyed every minute of it.

I'm beginning to get my head around this whole cryptocurrency malarky. I've been researching Ripple and reached the point I'm tempted to get in - befor I do does anybody experienced Ripple?

Has anybody invested in Air Token? If so I'd like to know your thoughts, I've had it recommended to me and I'm wondering whether it's a decent proposition.

For what its worth i dont think arfield has a lack of anything other than pace. I think this as well, technically he's pretty good, was quite useful at dropping into the hole and often times was the only one trying to thread balls through to Gray when we were mostly just lumping it up field during ...

Aptamil is about £4/5 more expensive though. Mental.

I don't have ketchup often, but used to think that I couldn't have any other ketchup than Heinz. I then discovered that Aldi's own brand is a spot on replica. I used to work in procurement for a UK supermarket and from my experience I'd say it probably is Heinz ketchup, just without the branding. O...

I think there is merit and value to the underlying technology of cryptocurrency, i.e. blockchain, faster payments, increased security, decentralisation etc and that it'd be foolish to write it off as worthless, given reputable organizations such as Santander, VISA and AmEx have backed Ripple (a diff...

I don't really know much about Crypto, I was just given a tip off that Ripple was projected to increase in value so I decided to lump £100 on it. From a layman perspective I think it'll struggle to hit the crazy numbers per coin that other cryptos have because there's so many more ripple coins out t...

Happy with my XRP I bought at 20 cents. Hope you guys listened I got £100 worth at $2.20 a coin the other day, gutted wasn't quite on the ball to get in at the start of December when it was really cheap.

Thank you for your replies, see I don't know Burnley (other than the excellent football club) that well, I'm moving over to the area from West Yorkshire, been a Burnley fan for 15+ years, travelling over the boarder just for games, so we don't do much other than park up in town center and walk up t...

I've been lodging in my mates new build on Dall Street (the same area as you're thinking of buying) for the past 15 months whilst saving for my own place.

That's surprising, I didn't see any locals as much as crack a smile when I went back in July.

What a bizarre article, I can't really say anything else about it other than that. Just weird. It is kind of funny though because I said in jest to my mate the other day that I'm surprised there hasn't been a column in the Guardian yet by a SJW noting the lack of black/non-British players in our team!

I never noticed how naff our version sounds in comparison as well, we should try and slow it down.

I know this topic has been well discussed on here but did anybody notice yesterday that when Spurs did their "We've got Alli" song, they kept it at a consistent slow tempo and it sounded good. Shortly afterwards the Burnley fans started our Defour version which ended up being sang at a speed more su...

I've never known anything other than the claret one and I have no desire to change, however, when my passport changes to blue I equally won't give a sh*t.

I packed in the sup for about three or four years. It was actually easier than I thought it would be. I was very similar to the OP - always had at least four cans a night.

It probably is alright when listened to in isolation, I just think it's not a patch on Dylan's version, and I still can't fathom why they omitted most of the lyrics.

I'm similar but different - I never really suffer from hangovers drinking weak lager / in fact I never really feel drunk from it.

I'll be doing dry January but I've considered knocking it on the head permanently a few times.

Drinking is horribly expensive nowadays, and I think most young people would struggle to afford once per week. Mid week drinking is a thing of the past as well, a lot of young people prefer to go to the gym and do other things which are lets face it, healthier and cheaper.
