  1. Player of the season for me so far. Its hard to compare him to other keepers in the league because his role is so different, but for me he is streets ahead of anyone else. He's basically an extra outfield player for our passing game, and his completion stats are crazy considering he also hits the most long balls of any of our players. Hopefully he stays fit because we lose a whole dimension to our play without him, and don't think we would get top two if he got injured. Irreplaceable.

    Cats

    People joking about shooting, torturing etc., it does actually happen, one of my cats was shot in the eye, probably kids, but maybe one of you fuckers upset that he needed a poo. My advice would be to be nice to them, coo at them, try and give them a cuddle. They'll soon stop coming near for fear of attention. Anything else is just a challenge to them.
  3. The vast majority do. Those that come, it's usually language, or family here. https://www.oasiscardiff.org/blog/why-do-refugees-leave-france-for-the-uk
  4. What's your source on this? I'd not heard about yachts, but agree with you in principle‐ ferries would make sense. It would smash the gangs overnight, and we could undercut them on the fee and make some of the money we need to process their claims. If we got asylum seekers to spend their life savings on the process rather than to criminal gangs, we could process them much faster. Since the majority are legitimate claims, they would go through a legitimate challenge. Then you would have a case for any remaining small boats only being for illegal immigrants, they'd be spending extra to bypass a cheaper and quicker route, to get around the process. Then you have a case for deportations.
  5. Same place, if you actually read the detail.
  6. Are you implying that they aren't? If you want to know if rwanda is safe, you can read our government's foreign office travel advice. Spoiler, it's not that safe, fun quotes include: "conflict can flare up with little notice. There have been incidents of violent clashes on the DRC-Rwanda border in recent years, and armed incursions into the southwest of Rwanda." "LGBT individuals can experience discrimination and abuse, including from local authorities." "On 18 June, two people were killed and six were injured when suspected militants opened fire on a public passenger bus on Nyamagabe-Rusizi road, in Nyungwe Forest, Nyamgabe District." "Levels of health and safety in Rwanda are lower than in the UK. There have been incidences of buildings and construction sites collapsing, causing deaths and serious injuries. Fire safety standards are also variable, with incidences of fire in residential and public places a continuing risk." "The security situation near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Burundi remains unstable, and there has previously been armed attacks in Rwanda’s Nyungwe Forest and Volcanoes National Parks and neighbouring areas" "Only limited medical facilities are available in Rwanda. In the event of serious accident or illness evacuation by air ambulance to Kenya or South Africa may be required."

  9. This is a great example of the importance of inclusive language. It's critical that trans men continue to get checked, and that they don't avoid it because of the way they might feel about it - making it clear that they will be treated respectfully is really important, and can save lives. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Great goal. Reminiscent of le tiss vs Newcastle, with the two touch control and vision. There's a better angle around 6mins 30 here that shows the positioning. She is some player.
  11. Don't know if I'd risk Manning though, we can't afford for him to get injured with bree already out.
  12. Ederson plays for the same side as Haaland, and kane plays in the bundesliga. Apart from that, good point.
  13. Bazunu save percentage 65.1% Ederson save percentage 64.7% https://youtube.com/shorts/BLrED-RYGRg?si=ThS9E0HINWECRIjH
  14. It's hard to know for sure as they keep selling out faster than they can supply. https://www.skysports.com/watch/news/13028554/mary-earps-replica-england-goalkeeper-shirt-sells-out-within-hours-again
  15. This is quite a coincidence. I sell sofas, and wanted to go congratulate the players last week, but russell said sofas had nothing to do with the football and didn't let me see them. I felt snubbed but it didn't make the papers.
  16. The people calling to quit are campaigners who spend their working days trying to educate and combat the epidemic of spiking that occurs on the daily. For the person heading the dept they need to influence to be joking about how a little bit of rohipnol not being illegal probably feels deeply inappropriate to them.

    Russia

    Farage? He's the winningest winner I know of, so probably him?
  18. Given that our play style is so dependent on passing, and the sheer number of passes we make per game, it has to be our best passer of the ball. Gavin bazunu.
  19. Waiting to order a Christmas present until December is so pre-brexit, you need to get with the times.
  20. And it turns out, the people who '"don't see colour", very much do see colour when it's an asian actor on doctor who. Who knew...
  21. So to be clear. Brown person complains that too many writers in film are white, because it doesn't match the reality of our society. Racist. White person complains that too many actors in tv ads are brown, because it doesn't match the reality of our society. Not racist, just spitting facts.
  22. All the usual suspects. How many times have you heard the likes of Morgan, vine etc complain about all the black and brown people in TV ads? I guarantee there are people on this forum who have complained that tv ads have too many non white faces in them, and there is no uproar, no cancelling, no complaints.
  23. To be fair, White people say this shit all the time, it doesn't even make the news.
  24. If he'd have said he was concerned to enter a room of senior writers and not see any brown/black people, noone would have thought it racist, given that the applicant pool for media graduate jobs is around 20 percent black or brown, it is weird to have under 10 percent in the room. Think he just didn't word it the right way round and offended some white dudes.
  25. Yes, you could, assuming you are working in the uk (or eu).
