  1. I like the Norway one. Central badges can look really good or really shit. Celtic had one a couple of years ago and it was too low and ruined a good shirt. The Brazil one looks weird with the tick not central and again too low. The Norway one works well, especially with the blue middle.
  2. If they did a 6 to 7 I'd just get that. I've bought alot of that recently. it's huge on him but wearable. 5 to 6 will probably be fine if it's baggy edit @Arch Stanton or did you just want the lager brand on your shirt?
  3. I've told my 5 year old he can have a Scotland kit. Need advice, he's 5 and the sizes are 5/6 or 7/8. The latter will be too big but worried the former won't fit long. Anybody know how big Adidas kids kits are?

    Pride

    She really seems to have gone past the point where she can claim she is just supporting women's rights (I'm not saying some women's concerns about things about understanding the difference of growing up female in a male dominated society aren't reasonable), but it seems like a cover up excuse a lot of the time. I often wonder why a lot of celebrities seem to view themselves as the voice of reason. A confidence or arrogance from being successful and wealthy possibly. I can understand if they are making jokes about society, as with a comedian, but in general celebrities should just shut their cake hole especially if they know their views will be divisive.
  5. Not sure which one I'll get, probably the home but I like them both a lot. The last home kit was decent enough but bland, the away kit was pretty poor. These ones stand out, look different. I think the home reminds me of Euro 96 without directly copying it and giving a much more modern vibe to it. Some of the old gits are moaning on twitter but they wouldn't buy one anyway.
  6. Barrett probably could have been more, he may not have been the next big thing but he could have main evented some of the smaller PPVs and been credible. Him being a commentator is probably quite good for him, he is quite good on the mic and am sure he does well and doesn't have to take bumps. Bet he loves it.

    Some of them have been working for the council for a decade, they are essentially employees being paid out of a different budget and they don't have to declare them (they have to declare all staff on over 100k but they aren't "staff"). It's dodgy as fuck. It seems like people helping out their mates or possibly backhanders.

    Work

    We're a labour council, I'm surprised they are being allowed to bring them in. The view at local level is usually Conservatives like consultants, Labour see them as a waste and trust council officers. I found out how much a consultant is earning just from working on my service, 4 times my salary, and they do other projects so probably earn 6-8 times my salary. Honestly turns my stomach. A waste of public money.

    "Warning-Rant" So, as I think I mentioned before I work for a council. They do this regular thing where they want to introduce a better "culture". We get a meeting on it, what peoples feedback were, obviously they concentrated on positive and ignored the negative feedback (or quickly went through it) one of which was micro management. The following fucking day the same person giving the meeting puts in a policy that any emails sent to the councillor have to have her (she's the Director for Environment) and her boss in. I usually email them because they ask me a question. Feels like spying and watching every move we do. We are also doing a tender for a £1bn contract (over the course of about 15 years). 4 guys on my service have a total of 80 years experience, and our sister team who we are tendering with have about 40 in their management team. Then our head of service has about 30. The Director has instead brought consultants in, fucking expensive ones, to write the bid instead of us. The Head of Service has said fuck it, let them blow the money and let them take the fall. We've still got 3.5 years til the contract runs out and we expect them to see consultant failure within 6. But I think it shows such a lack of trust that we know what we are doing. We still have 5 people on the team who wrote the last one and it's classed as one of the council's most successful contracts, our contractors Head of Service is going to Belgium to give a presentation to branches of the company from all over Europe to show a successful contract. Surely these people can't be that bad at it.
  10. For me it's a whole host of guys in WCW. In 99 you had Hogan, Flair, Nash, Sting and Macho Man still headlining regularly. None of them seemed arsed. Bischoff protected his mates though. Raven, his gimmick was fantastic, he got huge crowd reactions. He could have been part of a real shake up in 99. Bret Hart, didn't main event until Mayhem 99. He could have at least made matches with the old guard watchable. Him in the nWo made no sense, he was a main eventer and shouldn't have been put as a nobody in a stable. DDP, yeah I know he briefly won the title in 99 and then went on a run in 2000 but Animal and Sid Vicious main evented in 2000 so it's not a big achievement really. They should have utilised Benoit earlier too. He might not have fucked off with the title. Although it was stupid to give the title to someone without a contract. I feel like the 4 above could have had great main events with each other. At the very least better than what 99 generally chuffed out. In 2000 I think they could have done more with Mike Awesome. He was huge, and the crowd were interested when he came in. Soon he was Lance Storm's lacky and wore flares.
  11. First mania watched 7, and it was awesome at the time although I didn't really care for the main event. Warrior Vs Macho Man had an awesome build and then pure drama in the ring. Roberts Vs Martel may not make sense now but given the build at the time it was great. The tag title match really got me hating the Nasty Boys, LOD squashing Power and Glory really had me behind them, Undertaker had me shit scared and there was some good undercard stuff such as Rockers Vs Haku/Barbarian and Perfect/Bossman (I really thought Bossman would win). Favourite Wrestlemania 7, see above. Without that I'm not sure I'd be into wrestling Ever been to a Wrestlemania Nope, no desire for it whatsoever. Best Wrestlemania match Warrior Vs Macho Man or Hart Vs Hart. I just feel those two really have you engaged the whole way through. Macho Man and Hart had a ton of crackers at Mania. Worst match Undertaker Vs King Kong Bundy, I mean what the fuck was that? It wasn't even a 2 minute squash it went about 7 or 8 minutes. Best Moments Macho Man and Elizabeth, what can I say Wrestlemania 7 was grat. Worst moment Hulk coming out at Mania 9 and taking the title. At age 8 I thought it was shit. He fights a guy who just fought, and he doesn't even win clean. Best Entrance 6, Rhythm and Blues pink Cadillac.
  12. I've watched a lot of wrestling back and it's I still now think many of them look old despite me being older (now) than many of them, not all of them. But there is definitely more receding hairlines and also the less out there and colourful clothing plays a part. Some of them just wore robes and big pants. I think you watch Rude, Michaels, Hart and Sting and they look young as they have a colourful image. Much of it must be down to lifestyle? Less roids, less cocaine, less alcohol, better healthcare and less dodgy painkillers. Even the ones taking PEDs now will probably learn to take them in a safer manner. I imagine many of them eat better food too. I'd also say it's a thing in general. I saw a picture of my dad the same age as me now. I look much much younger than he did.
  13. Apparently Hard to Kill did around 60k buys (Inc streaming) which is the biggest amount since 2006.
  14. I'd never heard the Alexa Bliss song before, a bit weird for a munch of middle aged men.
