    [Albion] The Tunnel Club

    I can imagine possibly at a stretch doing this as a one-off for a special occasion and a single game maybe if I had the money, but surely over time it'll get a bit...well...repetitive when the novelty wears off? There's only so many times you can lip read players shouting "come on boys" before...

    [Misc] Christians seem to be really good people

    They exist in the Apocrypha, a load of books mostly written about the same time as the New Testament but for various reasons not considered "true" enough to be included as official books for the Bible by the early church. They can be quite interesting to read though and consider why the church...

    [Albion] Tattoo

    Because aliens / Bezos / Gates / God / The Cosmos are monitoring me my Spotify just shuffled to this in an enormous playlist. Bizarre.

    [Albion] Tattoo

    Find an artist whose style you like and have a chat with them. They can collaborate with you on it so you get the benefit of their artistic talent, inspiration and experience rather than just them doing a straight rework of whatever you describe

    [Misc] Christians seem to be really good people

    I don't think we're clearly spiritual at all. You could also argue (as many do) that human consciousness and exceptionalism doesn't allow for us to not feel we have some control over the world (hence prayer, sacrifices etc) or at minimum we have an innate need to explain the unexplainable ("will...

    [Misc] Christians seem to be really good people

    This priest, after the CPS decided not to prosecute him because of ill health, was allowed to die in communal religious accommodation connected to a school. Not particularly historical, he died in 2000, and I know at least one of his survivors who is still suffering. The police described him as...

    [Misc] Christians seem to be really good people

    I wonder how many people brought up in Christian countries who are devoutly Christian accept they would probably be devoutly Muslim if they were raised a Muslim in an Islamic country, or a Hindu in a Hindu country, or whatever, and whether that makes them ask themselves any questions about what...

    [Football] A or B?

    Well...the first written evidence of the ceremony of eating bread and drinking wine in Jesus's name was nearly 30 years after his death. Some of those historians we both like so much say it wasn't a religious celebration though (just a commemoration) until 120 years after his death. Some of them...

    [Humour] Either/or

    Always piano, simply because no-one will ever think it's a good idea to take one to a campsite or any other environment where it's impossible to escape, and play Wonderwall

    [Football] A or B?

    Oh my. I've snipped out what you wrote just to save people's scrolling with massive quotes. I genuinely appreciate your reply though. Thank you for taking the time. SO. Jesus didn't found Christianity. He was the originator of the practices of Christianity, but he didn't found it as a religion...

    [Humour] Either/or

    Coffee. Drowning in the mixture from the inside of a Cadbury's Creme Egg or being eaten by a shark

    [Football] A or B?

    Without wishing to be a horrendous pedant I don't think many experts say Jesus founded Christianity, that's something his followers did. In a very Mourinho way "christ" means "the chosen one" and Jesus, according to all accounts, had a bit more humility than Jose. I don't dispute there's...

    [Music] Unusual Words that have managed to get into song lyrics.

    "Paracelsus" (OK, it's a name not a word, but still kind of unusual to drop into some lyrics. From Chester P - Fire in the Streets)

    Welcoming refugees. Well done Brits!

    I've not read any of your previous posts but I'm open minded which is why I'm interested in seeing evidence and data. If we're going on anecdotal stories then I met a head of an NHS trust in March and several very senior NHS people who told me their biggest challenge since the height of the...

    Welcoming refugees. Well done Brits!

    Thank you, so I've had a look and you're right it's a thing but the evidence is all that it's very rare, almost entirely in males aged under 29 so likely linked to prior susceptibility which is men, and occurs after 2nd dose, and has near 100% recovery rate without even any treatment. In the UK...

    [Politics] Johnson resigns from parliament

    Perhaps timely to raise again that Johnson was widely reported to have been denied access to official secrets when he was Foreign Secretary because he couldn't be trusted and was friends with too many questionable Russians whom he'd meet breaking protocol without officials present. Including one...

    [Football] Delle Alli: Where next?

    The parental parallels are striking aren't they? And no surprise if the challenges are similar as a consequence. Also I mentioned earlier in the thread his agent has come into question for his possibly not great influence over him - I didn't realise his agent is Harry Hickford, the footballer...

    [Politics] Johnson resigns from parliament

    Nadine Dorries, who has always seemed weirdly in awe of him, resigned today too. If good news comes in threes who is next?

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    35 minutes or so since you posted this and no one has queried why a player would leave a top 6 club playing in Europe for a mid table side. Standards are slipping.
