My sister gifted me a copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray for my birthday last Tuesday. It’s my second read of the novel, having done so a few years before - it’s only short. Must say it’s as criminally marvellous as it was before.

I like the fact the news makes it out like people my sort of age think his views are sacred and that’s why people are bad today. Literally everyone I know think he’s an arse and he’s a memed figure 😂

I value @east-stand-nic’s contributions. Most interesting and provides a polarised opinion, which is why I also enjoy SOG and co. from other sides. Nic does sound like a few I hear from on the Ugly Inside, I wonder if you have an account Nic (?). I’m not a member on here so can’t PM you to ask.

Men and women have different chemical and hormonal responses, of course they react differently to one another. Also, there’s one key to men objectifying women in the modern age and it’s so easy to access: P-O-R-N. Cut that and we cut 99% of objectification problems. It makes people weird, increasingly sexually minded (this is normal, but porn undoubtedly makes people think about sex all the time), and it normalises abuse behind the terms of “fetishes.” On adultery and the like, this is a societal problem caused by a break of the family unit, coming from R. Jenkins onwards.

What if they purchased the ticket with the expectation of 23 victories. Any less, you claim a full refund.

The problem doesn't start with the likes of Andrew Tate / toxic influencers, but it does come from the before stage: a percieved hatred of young men which leads them to watching this content. The Tates and their ilk come from what is called the red pill - essentially the get to the gym and get your game up type for people who are depressed to start with. Therefore, replacing Tate with a liberal lovey and continuing to spread the word that men do bad things, whilst helpful for awareness, is going to continue the cycle until you reach the actually roots. This siege mentality can then lead to a blaming of feminism or other forms based on women. Young men feel as though they're being told daily that they are evil. Toxic masculinity rolemodels are models of a man to the extreme (hence why it may fool some). If, instead of being taught that masculinity in any form is bad and that men are evil, schools taught that masculinity is at least acceptable, they could do the teaching earlier to a moderate degree - not the toxicly masculine reactionary. I'll add to this that parents should be doing this, but, trust me, the anti-male bollox in the schools pushing people to this far outweights one of two conversations with ones parents.

SR are the best thing to happen to this club. They have opened my eyes as to how the worst things of my life are actually the best. We are blessed with life itself.

Unless they're singing i'm forever blowing bubbles at them for some reason. Remember that. 😂

There must be an element of being around and playing with established good players also. There’s surely no coincidence that many sons of professional footballers are fairly decent (even semi pro level is above the average) - I note Paul Skate Merson’s son scored a good technical goal the other week. There’s long hours of repetition, but if you’re playing with those who are already skilled (and therefore highly paced), this is bound to accelerate your ability.

Farage can’t be outshone. He is an egotist after all. Clearly a hit job to show Lowe who’s boss — though I think Farage and Zia Yusuf may find the members would rather back who they see as the more impressive (in Reform terms) MP.

O’Brien’s haircut looks at tad fascistic

Excellent collection of Jeans there by the pitch invaders

Other than Ramsdale, I don't consider any of these players to be good.

Rory Stewart having a hissy-fit over the idea Rishi Sunak is British (a civic political creation) but not english (an ethnicity). If any other race were airbrushed out in this way his liberal friends would be having a hissy fit.
