Are people still unsure what the term means? Or are people still asking this as a rhetorical device? I thought that had died a death a few years ago now? Anyway, here's where I first saw the term and learned what it meant: https://twitter.com/WokeMuslima The account starts in November 2015 and self...

Musk fanboys are some of the weirdest folk around, but at least now he’s made them dead easy to spot on Twitter.

Went absolutely perfectly for what they were trying to achieve with this first launch.

Perfectly? Really?

Within acceptable bounds of performance, maybe, but I feel like “perfectly” might have involved the rocket not falling to pieces seconds after take-off.

Gambling debts with licenced bookies have been legally enforceable for nearly 20 years now. It's a shame bets made with gobshites on the internet like cutsy/4midable or whatever he's calling himself these days aren't. Oh ok. Looks like my “knowledge” is out of date then. Wasn’t it you that KBRFC we...

Greenmile

Technically / legally, they don’t have to pay out at all. They wouldn’t last long in the bookie business if they were seen not to pay out on winning bets, though.

Greenmile

I’m more concerned about the state of those apostrophes.

Greenmile

It’s a shame that Greenmile has to resort to insults just because he can’t force an admission of error from another poster. I imagine that my political views are much more aligned with him than with Rowls. In fact I vehemently disagree with Rowls on many of the political views that he’s expressed o...

Keep it coming. Guys like you do as much for Conservatism as Jeremy Corbyn did. I can afford to be polite. Yeah. I’m sure loads of people are saying to themselves “I was going to vote Labour after seeing how the Tories have wrecked the country, but then I saw Greenmile call Rowls a Tory pr1ck, and ...

There's a fairly obvious reason why I got the gender wrong for arbre and that's because it's never vocalised.

You never had the need to refer to “a tree” in French then? Ok.

Greenmile

(...or “carte blanc” as Rowls would probably say. Despite living in France he never really bothered to learn the language properly. Pesky immigrant not putting in the effort to integrate.)

Well yeah, go ahead. I'm not going to hit the report button. It only undermines your own argument when you resort to that kind of thing.

Ok. As long as you promise you’re not getting a sexual thrill out of it.

You should bear it in mind all of the time, for the sake of decency.

What about the one Ogrisivic(sp) saved in the last game? Just Googled it, and it looks like it was Hedman in goal for Coventry, so looks like we might both be wrong (unless your spelling is really bad :) ) Couldn’t find a video, but the description I found (on ClaretsMad, as it happens), suggests H...

I don’t remember that one, but happy to be proved wrong.

Greenmile

Except I specifically drew a distinction between a native English speaker and a foreign speaker not pronouncing /th/ properly! Your example above actually proves my point - the only reason they make a /ze/ sound is because they're attempting the (for them, difficult) /th/ sound. They could easily p...

Can any free kick that’s off target be deemed good?

Relative to the rest of his performance in that game / his Burnley career, it was ballon d’or stuff.

Greenmile

He was absolutely garbage - he’s even admitted to not remembering his time at Burnley. We were objectively worse with him in the side but his reputation made the manager pick him. Ian Wright actually scored and contributed for us - Gazza’s debut against Sheff United away was one of the worst perfor...

Yes, if I were an academic of a speech therapist, then 'lazy' wouldn't have been the best word. But I've never been interesting in being a therapist and made a very conscious decision to stick fingers up towards academia.

Good reply Greenmile but I have to assert that 'laziness' is a perfectly good word here. There are abbreviations in all languages and they're used to get around trickier sounds to achieve or longer words to say. What you're really objecting to is a pejorative inference that actually isn't there in ...

Greenmile

It’s lovely how often you name check me yTib. :) The “th” sound varies from word to word. The sound at the end of maTHs is different to the sound at the beginning of THe. However, they’re formed with very similar mouth shapes. We used to have two additional letters to our alphabet in Old English fo...

If football forums were anything to go off then the whole country will be laughing at Blackburn for giving us only 2k tickets,

Is your assumption that Burnley fans give two sh1ts based on something other than a football forum, then? Have you been handing out questionnaires at the Turf?

But I was right, because we sorted out the defence and the rest is history, so what's your point clown

Great news.

I’m looking forward to us finishing “almost top 6” this season just as soon as VK drops Maatsen and starts playing Charlie Taylor at left back.

Back to form I see Greenmile. It's a small illustration of the type of dishonesty that the likes of JKR have to put up with all the time. She writes about empathy for trans people (as I did) and then oddballs (touche Swizzler) like Greenmile and Swizzlestick come along and declare that what she rea...

Some of Labour/the left being hellbent on this **** and refusing to do simple stuff like explaining what a woman is, is what will cause the tories to win another election and further continue to royally f*** the country.

Ah ok that’s actually helpful, as I suspect this is where aggi was getting the wrong end of the stick.I have a great deal of empathy for anyone is either pre-op or post-op. When the GRA (I think I called it the GRR the other day grrr) was introduced this was exactly who it was aimed at. But I think...

Greenmile

No idea why you call it and "admission" but empathy is good let's agree for a change. Can we agree that empathy towards trans people is good? After all, that’s what I wrote but you seem to have “inadvertently” misrepresented it again. If we can agree, then maybe you could start demonstrating some. ...

Greenmile

...I have seen a similar survey and it just goes to show how much nicer women are than men! No surprise that women generally are more sympathetic to trans people. It's nearly always men who cause the problems around the world. This apppears to be an admission that sympathy (although I think you mea...

I do have a personal interest in the women and children in my life but it is more important to bear in mind that we are talking about more than half of the population.

The argument centres on hypocrisy. If you condemn Braverman's comments about 'invasion' for being cheap, juvenile and provocative then you must surely do the same for Lineker when he invokes Godwin's law.

I do love a “Rowls sh1ts himself in public” thread.

I wonder how long until he gets it locked / deleted.

Plenty of folk on here will never forgive England’s second most successful manager of all time for supporting his own players freedom of expression when they chose to take the knee to demonstrate that they believe black people’s lives should have as much value as white people’s.

There is a massive gap between the top 10 in the Prem and the Championship, however does anyone seriously think we can't compete with most or all of those in the lower half of the table.

As I've said before, if you want to believe that, then fine. But just as a mental exercise, ask yourself what happens if you take me on complete face value?

I don't follow your logic at all… Yes - that’s quite obvious from the rest of your post. I’ll try to dumb it down for you a bit.

To be fair I don’t remember you specifically endorsing cancel culture. But then again, I don’t remember you specifically condemning it either, until now that is. Why is that I wonder?
