Quote from: gawa316 on July 23, 2024, 05:51:49 PMPaying for say a $6 pint in a dive bar, you throw the 'lady' a $10 bill and the bitch doesn't come back with any change!

Been swimming in dive bars for 22 years and never once had my change not set down back in front of me. Because that would be theft.

Love a wee American dive bar, been in a few. Kenosha has some great ones.

Quote from: thebuzz on July 23, 2024, 12:34:42 AMI don't mind tipping for a proper service but the expectation of a tip at the self service petrol station is the biggest joke of all.

Agree. Been in bars in NY and Chicago, and just left dollar on counter in front of me with every round, allowing wee pile to stack up. Bar staff appreciate that, give you good service, and most times in my experience they won't let you leave without them buying the last round.

Will be hearing more of Hells Bells if you watch Bundesliga. Newly promoted St Pauli come out on pitch to it in home games.

Quote from: gawa316 on July 15, 2024, 03:06:23 PMNot the only one but jeepers Foden had an awful tournament...fecker does it week in, week out for city but was no where to be seen for England

Rice was unbelievably poor and Bellingham wasn't much better other than his one moment of genius. Southgate is and always has been a rubbish coach but the players have been way below par too. I'm just enjoying the media ganging up on Southgate the same media that thought he was the messiah when he was doing the exact same thing maybe even worse in 2018

Rice got away with murder in the penalty box, dragging opponents down on at least two occasions without penalties being awarded. Added to that, shouldn't have been in final anyway. Was no foul on Kane for the penalty, and Saka handled it in box a second before. Ref was abysmal in that game.

Fair play to the noisy neighbours. They'll bring some atmosphere and colour to the final.

Quote from: mrdeeds on July 13, 2024, 07:33:33 PMNot to change subject why are Armagh not wearing orange?

According to BBC commentary at start, it's because they think they play better wearing black.

Quote from: marty34 on July 08, 2024, 10:09:12 AMThis is my final point on this issue. I see Eastwood and Hanna are giving out, complaining about the recent election and what people are saying about them standing/not standing in certain areas. 

Now the key thing is that Eastwood wanted to stand everywhere to add to their percentage vote - as he knows that he's failing badly as their leader. People will say well, that's his job, isn't it? But he's not a team player - other parties stood aside in certain areas to aid progressive candidates. They didn't, regardless of who they put up. That's the difference.

Now SDLP and Hanna got a free run in south Belfast and MD but they didn't recipocrate anywhere.  A few people on here are complaining saying, as above, why should they but they did it in north Belfast at the last WM election.  That's my point.  Why do it the last time but not this time? It suited them the last time - as I say, not a team player.   

Isn't it ironic that any questioning/debate on this is labelled sectarian and trolling etc. by the SDLP whereas in the weeks before the election, they were joining in on the unionist/Nolan pile on on Pat Cullen in FST? The SDLP are spoofing about nationalist parties working together while a few days ago they put up pictures of a candiate V an empty chair (i.e. not taking seats in London). Their candidate in Newry area alledgely talking about putting stickers on a donkey.  How ironic? Ah well, at least it wasn't a crocodile!


Anybody with any savvy can see what this is all about.  This is a deflection from the SDLP's, and by extension, Eastwood's poor leadership. This is what this is all about - deflection by Eastwood and Hanna. But they'll be grand on the green benches. 

 

Aye, and when they are finally fucked out on their ears no doubt they'll join Baroness Ritchie of West Britainshire on the red benches.

Quote from: Pub Bore on July 05, 2024, 09:19:37 AMOne interesting thing was the BBC starting a narrative that SF hadn't got the vote out in FST.  It was yer man Julian based on a couple of boxes open from around Dungannon.  Mark Carruthers and Deirdre "Aren't I gorgeous" Heenan latched on to it and started criticising SF for parachuting a "celebrity candidate" into FST and that SF's focus had been too much on the South.  Very strange.

Yeah, Fowler was literally bouncing with excitement making that announcement early doos and the studio thn latching on to it.

They interviewed he 5 mins later, and by her chat, tou'd thought she'd won it by a landslide.

It's all about demographics now.



Armstrong taking the BBC's word on the result and basically celebrating the win before all the boxes had been opened, Col Blimp insulting the blue rinse brigade in Bangor for having the audacity not to elect him and his Rolls-Royce, and Ian og finally getting his comeuppance... what a night. f**k the DUP!!!

How's about one last Covid party just for old times sake?

Two Tory scumbags really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
