There's always room for racism.

Turning comments off until next week.

No drama or anything, everything is absolutely fine - it's actually something positive. Will explain next week.

Went abroad, no issues getting out of the country or coming back in, hopefully I've managed to reactivate comments.

I'll try again.

... And again.

Any joy?

First impressions of Football Manager 26 based on the early access Beta:

A big heap of shite. It's a total and utter mess.

I mean, really. After failing to release a game last year, this is what they deliver?!

This might make some of you laugh.

While I was away last week I had an interaction with an English woman who used to live in a mostly Kurdish area of some country or other (most likely Turkey or Iraq).

The conversation went something like this:

HER: Where are you from?
ME: Stafford.
HER: Oh, I used to live in North Kurdistan and I thought you were Kurdish!

I'm sat in a box in my boxers listening to 'Living in a Box' from the album Living in a Box by Living In A Box, and eating Burger King.

Proof.

The only thing I like about London is actual Londoners with London accents.

"London accents" excludes middle/upper middle-class types who may well be native Londoners but sound insufferable, and any accent polluted by non-White influence.

I'm talking about like Big John Sitton type accents, and the variants thereof from different parts of the city. Brilliant.

I spent just shy of 24 hours in London, got back this afternoon. I've never liked the place.

I mean, Lily Allen wrote a song called 'LDN' about London and how much she loves the place, specifically all the crime, violence, degeneracy, and fraud.

Lily Allen loves London, and if I had it spare I'd pay a hundred grand to kick Lily Allen in both shins as hard as I could. Enough said.

The place would be infinitely more tolerable and less alienating if it was 100% White but I still probably wouldn't like it that much even then. Much of it would still be a repulsive rat race.

I don't much like cities in general, and the whole thing of having a load of exciting and important things on your doorstep as is the case in global cities like London has almost no compensatory value to me. If I want to see it or do it that badly, I'll go temporarily - and to be honest, there aren't that many things that would make me bother. Very little is worth enduring the noise, chaos, multiracial alienation and mess, the squalor, or the general air of self-importance these places have to an outsider even temporarily, let alone permanently.

I've actually always hated that about people who go on about how they're from London and New York etc. and how great it is, and by implication, how important that makes them. I like places with homogeneity and order where people generally only live because it's always been their home.

Yeah! Facts, standards, and the consequences of your own feckless, self-sabotaging decisions are so inconvenient and "boring" aren't they girls?

On a less angry note, I sang to an Irish greyhound in Hindi for his eighth birthday earlier today. He looked like he enjoyed it as well.

"Trad" girl who goes through a new "serious" relationship every 6-12 months.

Eventually that gets you to the point where you've had more pricks than Phil Taylor's practice board used to get.

Always the men at fault, naturally. Never her, and never the choices she makes in the first place.

Truly the Jews of relationships.

⬆️ Women with multi-vehicle pile-up relationship histories in the most unflinchingly introspective moment of their lives.

Even from relatively limited experience, I agree with this.
