I think this is the only thread where you need at least one year of post-secondary education to understand everything

That british humour is hard to catch.
Sometimes I'm like ":ohhh:, is this irony" ?

I don't understand 10% of the posts in here sometimes. If it was said in RL I'd probably give one of those fake chuckles and look away doing the :rudy: face

If I'm talking about Shameless, I'm sure I could place it :fry:


STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
:deadrose:






EDIT : If you say "frèh" it's the creole (west indian/haitian) way :D. The french "r" is important even if It's hard to pronounce for native english speakers.

I know very well, frèh. :yes:

:ld: I don't know. Maybe 1 year of post-secondary English literature or taking the piss would be more accurate.

Making me reminisce about a mate deciding to turn off suckanikka in the garden a couple of years ago.


In real life shyt: fukked the CELTA:guilty: so I'm trying to hit up Korea then maybe Oz for payola. Then try and do an EU masters. Kind of want to do law if that goes well. I really fukked up 2012 epically, but I'm hoping it's a wake-up call. Started smoking in Jan and have gotten srs about quitting the last fortnight, hoping it can be a spark for the rest of life if you'll pardon the pun:smugdraper:

reading the Pitch Invasion book, the articles on US Soccer's dark ages :mindblown: tons of leagues, indoor soccer golden age averaging 10,000? televised on espn and bonafide stars? and mls putting a stop to that nonsense

Pitch Invasion - A Soccer Culture Blog here's the article. it's all freely available on the internet but bought the book in support of one of my favorite sites throughout the years.

I think this sums up American soccer before 2000 quite nicely. :laugh:

Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger speaks to Sports Journalism students at LCC » London College of Communication

He was also keen to point out how the media and the immediacy of the internet have led to a cultural change.

“We have moved from a society of full support, to a media society and an opinion society. When I arrived here a defeat was not as dramatic as it is today. Why? Because we have moved from a rational society to a much more emotional society.”

“When you finish a game it is analysed in a minute and the opinions go through the whole of society in 10 minutes. The emotional side of any reaction today is massive,” Wenger described.

Wenger has to deal with his decisions coming under scrutiny in today’s world of endless blogs, news outlets and streams of analyses. The 63-year-old is of the view that because there are so many opinions swirling around, often the lines become blurred between professional and constructive analysis and that of throwaway comments from those less informed.

He said: “Our society has changed much deeper than we think it has. Sometimes for good because people are better informed, but as well sometimes for bad because people who really take action, people who have responsibilities are not respected as much as before. When you have an opinion you’re tempted to think you are right, because you do not have to prove you’re right. It’s just an opinion. Today everyone has an opinion and people who have real responsibilities are less respected.”

interesting tbf

I have a nice little bs 'woah is me' narrative drafted around a failing school and the fact that three of the breres i was closest to at different points growing up have all served jail time (or should have(technicalities)) + others i hung with haven't left tha city as some sort of consolation for my fukkeries, but truely since practically day one i've been an apathetic piece of shyt:beli: and any moments that go against the grain seem just like aberrations. honestly that thing in mckee where he talks about the essence of character being that everyone doers the minimum they think they have to has resonated with me quite a lot. i need to find a way to want more before it's too late tbf. And on that note, I chase the night. Ciao for now, #cuckloaders :salute:

edit: in Oz i'd want to be drivinga tractor on some hick farm or bikini waxing or mining or some shyt (ll) tbf
