  1. “Increased Bumps” explains the Twitter twattery on some night for little tone.
  2. Didn’t he Rob somewhere while wearing his name tag and uniform? Not the brightest.
  3. Then he’d throw his discarded food wrappers over his limp body.
  4. I might be misremembering, happens a lot when you get to my age, but I’m sure that when they announced she was having surgery or a procedure, they said she would step away from royal duties until Easter at the earliest. But there’s no fun in that.
  5. Exactly. Abbott has been the victim of appalling abuse from Labour employees and staffers, as well as members of the PLP. It’s been nearly a year since she had the whip removed, she apologised the same day yet the investigation is still ongoing? Even though since there have been white blokes having the whip removed for the same charge but restored? It’s factional and it’s horrible. If Starmer really cared about the abuse Abbott receives, he’d deal with the people within his party who dish it out to her. To use her situation to fundraise when you won’t even help her with the abuse is galling.
  6. Coincidentally/tin foilly, there’s been a few puff pieces on the the Marchioness of Chomondeley in the papers in the last week. She is William’s pegger and has a 13 year old son that’s rumoured to be his. If he acknowledges it’s his kid, there’s a claim that he is William’s heir. I doubt the above but I wouldn’t be surprised if Kate has had enough of his cheating and won’t play ball, so they’re doing a soft launch of the woman who will be his new wife.

    To be honest, I haven’t played in years and years so I can’t comment on the current feeling. Maybe @TheBurningRed can help? (EDIT - Ha, as I was typing he replied!) When I played it was more team based, with men and women’s divisions in county and super league. Individual tournaments were open to all. There was always a stigma/piss taking if you lost to a woman though and I’m sure that persists at local level. Sure we discussed it earlier in the thread but darts is about opportunity more than anything, and because it’s a male centric game with male centric culture, those opportunities aren’t always there for women. That’s why, like chess, the women’s game is to try and entice women into it. Regarding the women playing in top tournaments, it’s not really an issue as it’s all merit based. Saying that though, Sharrock got a bit of favour as she was part of girls getting into the game, like Littler is with youngsters. It would only be an issue if someone born male took part in a woman’s tournament to be honest.

    The consensus is that it’s the finest sport known to humanity.

    Men and women’s chess was separated because of systemic misogyny and abuse toward women, and in an attempt to attract women back to the sport/game. I’d warrant the same goes for eSports given some of the conversations I’ve seen about the abuse female gamers get.
  10. A mate who I used to work with has posted on his Facebook that he bought this of his own free will and with his own money. He’s got a daughter, for fucks sake.
  11. When they gave me a mobility scooter at the baseball to get to the stadium, that was the signage they used for the accelerator. I really wanted to take the thing home with me, it was well skill.
  12. “Wilfully Oblivious” is essentially a don’t ask don’t tell. It isn’t trying to say he’s completely innocent and all the wrongdoing went on without him having any knowledge of it. It’s more a “Don’t tell me about any of that stuff, please”. Like if you knew a mate or work colleague was having an affair but didn’t want to know details or have it talked about around you, so it’s all just rumours and innuendo should it ever be asked what you knew about it. That’s how I read it anyway, and it doesn’t make it right or anything like that.
