Let Kane bag 3 first! This is reminding me of a classic German side - demolishing inferior teams with a robot like ruthlessness. Lovely to see And the lack of rising to the bait. Management deserve credit for the way they've got this group's attitudes together and on point

Get in there

Just caught the end of that - looked a decent game. Belgium's gd might be to our advantage. And that Shaqiri, blessed with a hint of m0ng strength?

I just noticed the sunglasses underneath ha ha

Well you'd know And 'I'm become'? You can do better Let me know if you need any grammar tips though

Isn't that the fat one? Anyway, Serbia look a decent side.

Bit miffed by that result. Can see the Argies scabbing their way into the KOs now.

Thanks, it was mostly deliberate My point, however stifled by cutting humour, was that it's about choice and equality is it not? The gayers would be encouraged, no doubt and any criticism met with liberal scorn . . . there's an irony there somewhere

Shame I do wonder though how the same folk that criticise such ventures might feel if it were homosexuals prancing round the grid in mankinis?

Bolty gets some pelts on here but he's right, as are you, that you rarely, if ever, see attractive lasses pushing such ideologies . . . That's a tad harsh actually, my Mrs gets her knickers in a twist over such things - my suggestion she could have done page 3 never was well received ha ha As Jimmy says, business will simply go with whatever they perceive as the most profitable - there's no morality involved

Yeah it's hard to really say now until the groups are finished but things not going to plan all over should mean a few big names will drop before the semis. I thought Germany or Spain at the start and still feel they are the teams to beat. France haven't looked good but have easily got results. Brazil haven't impressed but would cause any teams problems. England looked very good at the start and feel the last minute win will give them a massive confidence boost. Wouldn't rule Portugal out either

Be interesting to see how Germany respond. If they were to struggle it really does open up. I'm getting a Croatia dark horse feeling . . .

Quite! So actually, middle aged, middle class fat white men are still profiting from the suppression of women's rights Well played feminism! I agree with #metoo about changing the narrative to a point so long as it's for the right reasons; but the influence and perceived pressure to make decisions like F1 did stem from 'modern' feminist movements. Equality of opportunity not equality of outcome - my buzzphrase for these mental PC times

Was thinking that a while back. Ronaldo will make an average team into a good one. Not sure you can say that about Messi. Bobby Charlton said Duncan Edwards was that kind of player. Perhaps not the most popular comment to post on here but to think what England may have missed out on . . . I'd rather watch Messi play though

Could see Tunisia bagging a point off belgium which would make our game interesting, assuming we beat Panama. Finishing second might yet be the better option though

Aye. These #MeToo and the like are actually reducing women's choices when influencing stuff like this and attempting to control thought and behaviour They're like the kind of man a feminist such as Germaine Greer would have hated Something that a lot of women don't acknowledge with these kind of things (i.e page 3 and such) is that woman should have the choice (you know, equality) and that hetero men will, no matter what PC shite abounds, always view women as sexual objects. They're biologically primed to for ffs! That's what chivalry and Gentlemanly conduct was all about . . .

Just saw this clip on the Beeb. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06b1thb?intc_type=singletheme&intc_location=bbcone&intc_campaign=hearher&intc_linkname=vidclip_gridgirls_contentcard7 Despite the unnecessary admission that , yes, I would, all of them, repeatedly; I 100% agree with Anne Robinson. I note that Germaine Greer made similar remarks. All about choice for me.

Has Evra come as a clown?

Aye I wouldn't want him to see me pissed up - not for a good few years anyway ha ha! (chance would be a fine thing!) I just think it's funny how we have these hang ups and social accept-abilities with some drugs and not others.

Now that was a decent bit of trash TV! Some right decent flap on show as well

Well played, Sir! That's a fact!

Only one letter doesn't appear in any US state name

Fair point but if you're outside its effects from passive inhalation are going to be negligible surely? I meant more the role model aspect. I'm trying to bin the fags off (rarely smoke more than three a day) and not once has my lad seen me smoke - wouldn't want him too either. That said I'm happy for him to see me sup ale and admire my whisky collection . . . (I even let him have a bit on his gums when teething - much to Mrs' horror! Be reet and did me no harm ha ha!) Odd really isn't it?

Underrated for me. Some ace tunes and such a varied repertoire. Days to Really Got Me to Waterloo Sunset to Ape Man . . . Victoria is one of my faves along with Sunny Afternoon

That's trampy as - you wouldn't would you!? Make it legal and you can have designated places for it - not hard, and sanctions/fines for abusing. Is it any worse than necking a load of tins in the front street though?
