    It really is bizarre that the subject of Jewish fears or discrimination can't be discussed in its own right without people trying to shoehorn the mistreatment of others into that discussion

    Highlighting antisemitism isn't denying the struggles of other people

    Criticising the IDF isn't "antisemitism", just as condemning Hamas isn't "Islamophobia". You don't have to pick a side.

    Surely a fact goes beyond any theory. No matter how you garnish it up it is still a guess.

    I can rattle off thousands of facts and no one would argue. Well, maybe you or Prof Cheese would. But all theory's are fancy guesses. And theories have come unstuck.

    Look, given the probabilities the big brains may well be correct. But we won't know for sure until Mork comes knocking.

    You're the only one who keeps using the word "fact".

    Does anybody know if I'll have a problem getting my daughter a child's ticket for next Tuesday when on open sale? I'm a STH but want to sit in a different seat with her for the playoff match. She's not and I only signed her up as  a member yesterday. The message sent out says members need to have an account registered from 20th April. 

    The 20th April deadline is only for those buying tickets when they go on General Sale. You'll be reet.

    Season ticket holders can also purchase seats for friends and family, providing the booker has all other individual Client Reference Numbers for the rest of the party that are already in their Network and they have permissions to manage tickets on their behalf.

    I see this type of post is doing the rounds again on social media. Basically it shows a house for rent (£750pm) in Tyldsley. 
     

    Why is it they always add only one persons wage? 
     

    Stolen from LinkedIn 

    For anyone that doesn’t believe money is important let’s crunch some numbers…

    This is the CHEAPEST 2 bed house on rightmove within 10 miles of Manchester.

    So let’s do this for a new family:

    - Rent £750
    - Council tax £115
    - Gas/electric £200
    - Water £30
    - Food £500
    - Internet £20
    - Phone bills £30 (Airtime only, not including the phone itself)
    - Car £150
    - Car insurance £100 (for 2 drivers being extremely generous)
    - Car maintenance £50 (£600 per year)
    - Fuel £50 absolute minimum

    Ok so just to survive in a house which isn’t great located in an area which also isn’t great costs £1,995 per month.

    Now you have the cost of baby clothes, toilet roll, washing up liquid, shampoo, nappies, haircuts and all the other general stuff on top of that which I would also consider as survival items in a first world country.

    Let’s say all of this if you’re lucky comes to £300.

    Now you’re on £2,295 and you haven’t even done as much as treated yourself to a KFC.

    In order to earn £2,295 per month you’re salary has to be 35-40k.

    So you’re living a low quality of life, just getting by and earning 35-40k per year.

    Now let’s add a holiday.

    You want to go away for 1 week? Oh that’s at least £100 per month in savings.

    Now let’s add unexpected expenses.

    Your car gets broken into, that window is going to cost at least £200 to replace but you’re living pay cheque to pay cheque, where’s the money coming from?

    Not insurance because you have to pay excess.

    It’s coming from rainy day savings which should be at least £200 per month.

    Now we’re up to £2,595.

    But what’s that I hear, you want some new clothes for yourself, £50 per month extra.

    Oh and ermm yeah I can’t go without my coffee, £2 per day, £60 per month.

    Also I almost forgot to mention, I have these things called hobbies, I like to play video games, watch Netflix, go to the pub every now and then you know, just live a normal life.

    Oh right so that’s another £200 per month then.

    New total £2,910 for one holiday and a low quality lifestyle to feed 2 adults and a baby.

    Now you’re earning around £45k per year and still don’t really have any savings other than rainy day savings which will be used as that’s just life, shit goes wrong.

    But I forgot to mention the 2nd car or work commute expenses, we’ll say you take the bus at £100 per month.

    Oh and the dog, well he needs feeding, another £50.

    Ah but vet bills, lucky us we have rainy day savings.

    The expenditure just keeps on rising.

    So if you don’t think money is important then be my guest, start a family, watch what happens🙂

    Oh and by the way, once you hit a 50k salary you need to earn an extra 25k per year in order to get an extra 1k per month as Rishi needs some funds for Ukraine🥴

    I don't understand science. I'll admit it. Maybe you can enlightened me. How is it a fact and not a fancy guess? 

    It wouldn't be a "fact", and nobody has claimed that (apart from you). But the evidence would have to overwhelmingly suggest it's more likely than not, until other evidence is brought to light that either reinforces it, or sheds doubt. That's how science works.

    So it's fact. You're on form today.

    It's a hypotheses. That is a fancy scientific word for guessing.

    You don't understand the science, which is perfectly understandable. It takes a lot of reading and learning to get your head around it.

    So basically they are making a scientific guess on the evidence provided. My perception of finding life is actually seeing it. Guessing doesn't count for me.

    It's not "guessing", it's the exact opposite. Your perception is daft.

    Feel free to read previous posts.

    They're all to be taken with a pinch of salt.

    However, that doesn't get away from the fact that you and others seem to like to criticise anything that paints the nation in a good light.

    There is an informative book, albeit not an easy read, titled "The war on the west". Now it is extremely heavily based on facts together with studied observations. 

    It is a good insight into the creeping anti Western attitudes that now pervade throughout society.

    Perhaps have a read seeing as you insist on facts etc. 

     

    HAHAHAHA. You'll be recommending "10 Years to Save the West" next. 😂

    People really need to lighten up. It was  just a Saturday morning random bit of interesting info. 

    Anyway.

    It's not "info" though is it? It's just something someone posted on twitter, with no data to back it up.

    My Canadian family came over when I was a kid and we took them to Morecambe back when Happy Mount Park was in its pomp, my mum's cousin called it morry-cam-bee and that's what it's been known as ever since.

    My mum and dad always called it that when we were kids to make it sound like they were taking us somewhere more exotic. Frontier Land was ace when I was 12 years old, but the rest of it was a fucking dump. We used to stay on a caravan park right next to the Nuclear Power Station in Heysham. 😁

    I trust him over Biden and our way of just pouring Billions down the drain for something that will never happen.

    Get Trump in, make Russia agree too keeping what they have and we can all just crack on.
