Ads for work. Music, rugby, football and NFL for play. Used to be somewhere similar.
My one key takeaway from yesterdays absorbing, thrilling and quite frankly amazing Champions Cup Semi Final when it comes to the Lions is that injury permitting we WILL have a Scotsman called Fin at 10 and we WILL have an Englishman called Smith at 10.

Can’t help but thinking that the 100 humans vs 1 gorilla discourse is building up to the return of our lord and saviour Harambe on the 9th anniversary of his death towards the end of this month

I started blocking accounts on TikTok that I had no interest in - reform nutjobs, conspiracy theorists, maga helmets, people who say the word Easter is banned and can’t say you’re English (when did that come in??) etc.

Feels like I’m blocking people every other video. It’s unusable.

just find it so strange how the Daily Mail reacted to a Supreme Court ruling that takes significant rights away from a small group of people when they were so aghast at other Supreme Court rulings in the recent past…

Ps. Protect trans kids, trans rights and trans people. Always. Forever.

A few years ago, I went to a local hospital for a consultation with a surgeon about a medical issue.

I was waiting in reception for some time and after a while a nurse came down and called “Alan for Dr …”. I didn’t think she said a surname, no one else answered so I said “yeah that’s me I think”.

The operation is over! The patient lived, and is healing!

Somehow got myself onto “videos of my dog now they’re gone” TikTok and I absolutely hate it.

In the U.K., when the PM tanked the economy one newspaper stuck a lettuce on a livestream and asked which will last longer and she was gone before the lettuce.

How many times have you watched the ending of the Bulls Lakers game?

Me: Yes.

Saw a TikTok where someone was naming most populated European cities. Someone said London didn’t count as it “is part of islamic culture now… Islam does NOT belong to Europe”

I asked “what on Earth is wrong with you” and the comment was removed in SECONDS for violating guidelines.

Wild.

Calling it now.

That “ask meta AI” button in WhatsApp is going to be more annoying than Clippy ever was.

Absolutely all perfect. No notes.

I’m not a fan of the off field review in rugby when Luke Pearce gets to review a cheap shot from Nicotera with the elbow on the head of O’Mahony. If that’s not a straight red then I’m not sure what is anymore. Cowardly call.

If Wales get a bonus point tomorrow vs England and Italy get nothing vs Ireland, then Wales (probably) finish ahead of Italy on PD.

Feels like there should be “wooden spoon” minus points where your total points gets reset to 0 much like the grand slam bonus ensures you win the tournament outright.

What I’m assuming Ntamack is insinuating here is that he should’ve been banned for longer for a cheap shot, no attempt to wrap, upright hit on Thomas?
