  1. Not sure if this is the appropriate thread but BBC just did a story that Francis Ngannou’s 18 month old son has died. Fucking hell. EDIT.
  2. Missed a trick by not naming the thread “Here are the best video games - YOULL NEVER GUESS WHATS AT NUMBER ONE!!” for that professional, modern feel.
  3. Alas, it appears to be fake but top marks for making out he did it. That in itself is top shithousing.
  4. Who said that? Were they talking about me? I bet it was in paid wasn’t it? WASNT IT!!!
  5. This is probably the most high profile example. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/christine-gauthier-paralympian-euthanasia-canada-b2238319.html Personally I’m not sure if it was anything more than clumsy administration but many disabled voices in Canada are saying how because care is being cut for them and takes so long to get, MAID is the quicker and less painful option. There’s the issue of competence as well, one guy was sectioned and six weeks later he was signed off to die. His family argued that he wasn’t of sound mind to make that decision and the only ailment listed on the reasons for euthanasia was “Hearing loss” I’m probably too paranoid about it but I would not trust the tories to take a humane approach to the issue but more one based on economic viability.
  6. Well, look at Canada. Don’t want to be all “Slippery slope” but when it started there, the same kind of provisions that are being debated in parliament today were there at the start. 2 doctors signing it off and the person in question has to be confirmed as having about 6 months left to live etc, but now disabled people are having it suggested to them if they feel like they’re a burden. Same for people with depression. I’m all for body autonomy but stuff like that does feel like a way to get rid of undesirables.
  7. Yay! Let’s make life even harder for the disabled!! I suppose there’s some comfort in knowing this will more than likely not happen as they won’t be in office, but the way the tories always find new ways to be cruel to the disabled is vile. And of course, PIP isn’t an out of work benefit, it’s there to give disabled people a bit of economic freedom to live life regardless of your employment status. Tin hat time, but I find the further demonising of “People who aren’t economically adding to the country” and the increasing conversation around assisted dying all a bit eugenics sounding.
  8. Oh haven’t you heard? They are going to throw the game so Arsenal don’t win the league, or something.
  9. Exactly the niche content you won’t find anywhere else.
  10. This is the content that makes UKFF the place to be. Marvellous fayre
  11. White Sox win three on the bounce. Fucking hell!! Also, THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY!
  12. That reminds me of when TV Burp covered Celebrity Coach Trip and Harry Hill was saying how he liked how people made it clear it was never personal when it came to nominating who should leave. Cut to Cheryl Baker saying “I vote David and David, it is personal, you’re a vile man” or words to that effect. Will have to check that documentary out as it sounds brilliant!
  13. “Centrist posh boy melt” is more apposite in my opinion.
  14. They don’t, and it’s good they don’t to be honest. Otherwise the area set aside for disabled fans would be full of non disabled fans taking what very few spaces disabled fans have.
  15. I reckon he took over vocals of BC after Big Bri drank himself to death, or at least was in them for a while. There were two versions of Sweet warring with each other at one point. Right Netflix docuseries waiting to happen with them. Brian Connelys ex is now shacked up in Spain with one of his former band mates!
  16. I love those bands who either have placeholder names because of litigation or lost the case for ownership of the name so have something similar, or one member who was in the original band for a year or two so it’s “Their version of famous band”. Some great squabbles and petty hatred.
  17. In Academy one, it’s a balcony. This was for Academy 2 which if I remember from the last time I went there, was a bit at the side of the room with a few bar stools. The thing with the balcony in One is how they also use it for some “Guests” of the bands. Last time I went there a band member gave a shout out to his family who were up in the balcony. Without meaning to sound ungrateful, it’s a shame that the disabled have to give up what few provisions there are so that able bodied guests are catered for. The staff at Academy are brilliant though, want to make that clear.
  18. Tried to get accessible Frank Turner tickets but because it’s the Academy, you have to phone them up and of course, they’d gone instantly. Was even calling ten minutes before sale time. They said what to do in future is buy a ticket and then call them, and if the accessible ones are all gone, as in a free ticket for your carer, you can get a refund on the ticket you bought which is fair enough. Trouble is, the gig totally sold out in minutes and we were trying for them too! Ah well, maybe next time.
  19. Well, Is the best way to get going! Absolutely buzzing for my boy Benny, hitting his first homer of the season and then his second to walk off an extra innings win. He has rightly come under fire for being shit this season so hopefully this is the kick start both he and the White Sox need.
  20. Himself. He will be a Labour adviser after the election on health policy so it looks like Labour aren’t getting their advice from someone who stood down, or lost as a Tory MP
  21. Any idea what Bo Bichette looked like as a toddler?
  22. They aren’t very hot when it comes to their players and domestic violence either. A conviction doesn’t really have an effect of their career. Plus they’re racist as fuck. A match made in heaven.
