The NCAP Soccerball Thread

Hey, I haven't told you about the shrinkflation. The cheese ploughman's I used to get is now a rather plainer cheese and onion. And it's more expensive too. £4 meal deal now.

What no pickle??
For shame.. 😟

Always forty years...

Arriving right along with those 'Brexit benefits'..

Just you wait and see 🙄

There have been very brief glimmers but the process costs us more than we can extract from it.

Along the lines of fracking then..??

** To get away from people wearing stripey hats perhaps. ??

The stripey hat is Wales' greatest gift to international football.

Possibly its most successful.

I thought they'd recently broken even - same out as in.

Have you been listening to John Redwood again?

Oh, you mean fusion. Briefly, I think, but I’m not confident of the energy accounting regarding ignition.

That's lovely that is.
I'm a big fan of stripes myself .

When it's not flowers or plaid..
Although I think I've been known to wear all three at once 😇

Lol....like there's a humane way to execute anyone !

Whilst the US has almost patented the astonishingly sick ways, I imagine there are still worse countries.

The guy got lucky. There have been some really really gruesome stuff going on,in injection and electrocution.

Your sandwich shortage was funnier.

The 'favourite water' shortage was the best one in my opinion.

I enjoyed France annihilating Australia this evening.

Croatia, Germany, Spain and Canada for tomorrow please.

You know your argument was flawed, which is why you swapped out Mri for helium……bit again, its not the doctors or nurses supporting russia or qatar, its the government or nhs for purchasing from them. The doctors/nurses have no choice.

Oh OK. So the doctors and nurses have no choice, but professional footballers who have been selected to play for their country in an opportunity that may only come once in their lifetime - they do have a choice?

And even the people on the business trips which were being decried. One doesn't need to visit a country to be involved with or employed by an organisation which trades with that country. Demanding that business trips be cancelled by employees of other organisations is performative nonsense if you don't acknowledge the influence and effect your own organisation has. We live and work in a complicated globalised economy.

Having said that, I do think that professional sport occupies a specific niche when it comes to role modelling and representation which adds a further layer of complication.

Good news for the Saudis:-

Personally I think they missed out whether Public beheadings will also be suspended for the bank holiday.
