The special rules are that there are no rules.

The thought of Brock Lesnar trotting out there has zero value for me and it is odd to me that there is even a buzz about it - feels like a bad state for the  UFC roster to be in

I'm not saying he's more than friends with that dog, but I'm also not not saying that.

Superb clip in the replies of an owner also wearing a muzzle. Love this country.

Looks just like the dog I saw a couple weekends ago fully locked down on the back legs of a golden retriever. The owner couldn't get "Rambo" under control and it had slipped its leash and so 4 people had to help pull the dog off.

Jesus Christ. I can honestly say I’d have zero interest in that whatsoever.

Same. Meaning it probably will be.

Have you been on the Proper 12 mate?

His latest one, he just goes out the house and heads North with a tenner is also worth a background watch. At this point its mostly about the scenery for me, and Tom is in fine form as he makes his way 70 miles from his gaff.

Maybe it's just his actual Geoguessr videos where he comes across as a bit of a twat, as I've quite enjoyed watching the last couple of mission ones.

Yeah that walkabout video was quite mild and pleasant viewing. I find his twat side seems to come out in these missions mostly in him being snide, like he rocks up with no plan for things and asks people to help him out in quite unreasonable ways, and even if they do makes a shitty comment after saying goodbye.

Was looking for a thread to drop this, but similarly this video on TUF by Napoleon Blownapart is excellent:

The bit about how much of a prick Dana is to Tito for daring to want more moeny really speaks to how long this kind of shit has been going on

They’re gonna have to start announcing the top fights for 300 soon

Cerrone comeback...book it Dana.

This covers two threads here, and I can't be bothered to dig up a photo, but Steph from amazing youtube channel "Chinese Cooking Demystified"...wouldn't mind having a sip on her fish ball soup if you know what I mean lads

Commentary as per usual was the drizzling shits - only comment that I thought was kind of interesting was DC bringing up Lennox Lewis which I could see.

What a total joke of a performance from Covington though. In previous fights, despite the shitty gimmick or whatever, at least when he got in the cage he actually fucking brought it and delivered a performance win or lose. This was just terrible though, so timid and the total opposite of him imposing his style of fight, totally afraid of Leon. He got better in the later rounds but seemed like Leon was just treating it like sparring rounds at that point too. Would've love to have seen Leon turn it up and starch the fucker, but oh well.

Post fight interview from Covington was so cringey - even the MAGA idiots turned on him and started booing.

Terrible song and not funny at all. Reeks of Peter Kay nostalgia shite.

Just went to order a Bargain Bucket from KFC there and it's over £20.

Back when I was a fat fuck in like 2000 I used to polish off a bargin bucket by myself...I reckon it was about 8 quid.

I made a hype thread for GTA 6 so long ago that it has been purged from this forum. 2025 feels a LONG way away. But I've played literally every GTA game...so your boy is all in.

No-one posted that one half of the Cock Destroyers, Sophie Anderson, passed away today...this forum has changed.

Their videos had become incredibly dull...but I will say the latest episode is some pure insanity that you can only get in an African country with them trying to transport their van across a body of water. This stuff is actually cool to see and I feel like they totally miss out on showing these kind of challenges normally - instead choosing to show the most banal bantz between the lads.

I have to believe that...nothing jumps out from his leg position, unless something happened on the landing, but does look more like he smacked his head if anything.

he’s jumping in last minute against a guy who’d have been a tough fight with a full camp

But to be fair also a very different fight style for Chimaev to switch to on short notice.

Wand with the epic write-up!

These are fucking awful

first meeting chaired by our new manager today, and he was just an absolute management wanker. All buzzwords and metaphors.

One of the issues I've had with this team since I joined it is the amount of superfluous meetings, and he's proposing that we do a short meeting every day to check in on "how we're feeling" and what our "challenges" are for the week. As an example of what those meetings could look like, he asked us to answer three questions about "how we're feeling" - the first was how we would describe how we're feeling about the week ahead if it were a weather report, the second was "what animal do you feel best represents you today?", and the last was one of those "which of these photos is you" memes.

So I'm sat there - wearing a T-shirt of a zoo I used to work for - and I haven't written anything for animal. I don't really think in metaphors, nothing came to mind. It comes to my turn to speak, and he's all, "just say the first thing that comes into your mind". Well, no, because the problem is that nothing comes into my mind at the suggestion of what animal I might feel like. I could try and explain to you that I dislike anthropomorphising non-human animals, or about the impossibility of ever knowing another animal's mind, so the fruitlessness of saying you "feel" like a particular animal, but what's the point? You just want me to say that I feel like a sloth because things are moving slowly, or somesuch. It's the payroll deadline today and we've got a shitload of work to do, why are we wasting our time with this bollocks?

 

He then sent us all a link to a "user manual" to fill in, about how we prefer to work, receive feedback, communicate, etc. I wonder how long his "don't worry, there's no wrong answers" approach will last if I fill it in to say, "I hate team meetings, I work best by being left alone to get on with my job, and I'm a very literal person who doesn't think or communicate in metaphors". 

Until the last paragraph I did think he seemed twatish, as long as that is true and with good intent then I think its a good thing asking people about their working styles. I ask my team similar things and find it helps me gauge what works for them and what doesn't so we can figure out how not to piss each other off.

That said...the "icebreaker" thing seems to be on the up and more so for fully remote companies. My current company has this tendency to do various things like this at the start of meetings, often with 10+ people, and so you'll easily go through 15 minutes of an hour long meeting with people talking about "Whats the worst haircut you've had?". I mean yeah, they can lighten the tone somewhat, but also a huge waste of time given that everyone has been working together for ages.

Christ, how pathetic of a fight to set up.

Thats not a very nice way to speak to people is it?

I detect aspects of "toxic masculinity" in how you have worded that response to me.

Im sure some of the fine patrons on this site will point that out to you... or else they would be hypocrites and that wouldnt be the case on the UKFF surely would it?

Awful stuff
