The Premier League is going to be poorer without him, even though he's been a bit prickly this last year or two. Huge loss to Anfield, they need to be wise with their next appointment to build on what he did for them.

Yeah I put 4. Fight me 😜

No. Everybody hurts.

REM don't deserve this thread.

Anodyne, dull, instantly forgettable. Remove their entire catalogue from the annals of music and nothing changes.

Can I +1 this twice.
Monotone. Boring.

They kickstarted an entire generation of Alternative Rock. It could be argued they were the biggest band in the world for most of a decade in the radio chart era, had the biggest record contract (at the time), could sell out any stadium (and frequently did), wrote some absolute bangers. Nirvana burned bright and burned out. Pixies, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, maybe all more enjoyable listens with bigger block buster albums - but none of them (maybe PJ with their longevity) were as big as REM in their prime - in the Alternative space. It took Oasis to over take them (this is my opinion).

Never. Ever. Ulster says No.

Load of balls? Only for simpletons?

This wife's hairdresser told her to treat a wart on the young fellas hand by cutting a potato into quarters, rubbing the potato on the wart, driving to a crossroads and then throwing each quarter up each road at the crossroads. 

I think we'll just get it burned off at the surgery!

Had this cure put on me for warts when I was 11 or 12 I think. Had to put them in a brown paper bag and throw them over my sholder into a field somewhere where I was most likely not destined to retravel again.

EDIT: It wasn't just anyone could do it, had to go to a lady for the cure.

Heap of shite, ended up having them frozen/burned off by the GP

Whiskey drinkers are always arseholes. Waistcoats with jeans and stupid beards. Wear those converse or vans trainers even though they're over 40. 
Sorry, but you all know this to be true.

Bordeaux reds are the best. Californian reds can be lovely as well. Love a nice Chablis. Also like the odd Australian Syrah.

Any reds from California are generally shite, but this is all subjective

Possibly worst take of the year

One of the best things I've seen - thanks for sharing

Fair enough. Self Awareness is important.

Another New years eve  comes and goes , and   I blatantly  refuse  to utter  those three words yet again

never liked the  new year.  Always thought it was  a hyped up load of bollix

Judging by  reports,  more people are  thinking the same

What grinds my gears is people saying "Happy New Year" still in the middle of January. I'm dreading the next few weeks. Might just avoid eye contact in the office, or not go in at all the more of that.

Why? What's the bother? It's just a type of greeting - recognizing a new calendar year

Not going to put it up here, but if you've ever had the misfortune to hear Bob Dylan's rendition of Hark the Herald Angels...

Mariah gets a lot of flack these days in the memes, but her Christmas tune is still a banger. Shane always made a good run this time of year and this year even more so with his unfortunate passing.

Let's see your favourites - even the obscure ones:

Baby it's cold outside - well they've tried to cancel it but it's still gonna be one of my favorites - particularly this version with Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews

IMO 2000 miles by The Pretenders is a criminally underrated Christmas banger

Happy Christmas GAABOARD.

Every A&E should have security and if you lay a finger on staff you get lifted by the peelers without treatment.

Absolutely. Yet there was social uproar earlier this year when the peelers were discussing carrying Tazers, they were deemed to be too dangerous to be deployed by the cops FFS!

Somewhere between the heavily armed US police approach, where you may get shot in the wrong - and this softly softly cater to the dregs of society approach in the UK lies the key. However the social fabrics in each society prevent them from moving away from the status quo to something that more adequately addresses the challenges faced by those in public service (health care, retail etc...). Listened to a man from Limerick today discussing the rampant shoplifting and abuse of small business owners, its brutal what's happening there, and even in Dublin with those scumbags after the stabbing attack.

If someone intent on destroying your livlihood came face to face with a shotgun, they may think twice.

I know he's a ballix and all but wouldn't this price hike be the kind of thing the biggest little c**t in the country would like to get his teeth into?

If Jon Rahm goes to LIV the whole thing is fucked!!!

What a mess...

Wasnt that long ago Rahm said he had enough money blah blah, they are all full of shit but if he does go there will probably be a domino effect.

Would say Cantlay is busting his balls to go. PGA Tour will be fairly worthless if they lose a few of the top ones

I think all they are going to do is ruin the PGA tour. LIV is still a shite spectacle and as posted by another I wouldn't cross the road to watch it. Time may correct me but I don't see how LIV becomes something mainstream and will always be a side show. Losing DJ, Bryson, Brooks - didn't really damage the PGA tour all that much, and I didn't really miss seeing those lads in action. Brooks maybe, he's always good for a bit of drama.

Rahm is a potential nail in the coffin.
