This is kind of a humble brag, I don’t get paid lots but I do know how to use a toilet

The amount of highly paid corporate people who I share an office with who don’t know how to use a toilet properly is incredible

Update:

I have potentially found guarantors for these loans for people that have no support network... so...

Hit me up, Americans

How much of yours and Max’s current friendship is based on your schadenfreude?!

True, I did try coming off for a while but I’m afraid to say I did miss it. It’s nice in here though

The following part is fine, switching to for you is like a conspiracy theory bin fire

Just found out that Vittorio who handed Penny Mordaunt her arse on Friday night may have some questionable trans views, which I’m not going to lie is disappointing

Penny fucking Mordaunt on The Last Leg, that’s the worst booking since Graham Poll showed Josip Šimunić a third yellow card

To fill a gap in my CV I've said that I was a guitarist for The Fall for a brief period. No-one has disputed this or even asked questions about it.

Yeah I like them too but he doesn’t really seem to have any joy in him at all

I still think he was a massive dick over the way D’arcy Wretzky was treated

Attacking players I’d have thought Jackson Irvine, if only for an excuse to watch the video again where he met Casemiro 😀

I think it would be! My other guess would be Juan Mata (still playing 😀) and a quick look at his instagram shows he does a bit of his Common Goal stuff on there

Definitely though this is an ex player, Neville Southall (the greatest keeper ever IMO!) often passes his Twitter account to individuals to raise awareness on things like trans issues, drug dependency etc

‪Full time and it’s South Korea 3-0 Iran‬

‪Korea wasteful if anything, Iran very tenacious in defence in obviously very trying circumstances and can be proud of themselves ‬

Iran started the second half brighter with a couple of shots on target, but a penalty and header from a set piece mean it’s 3-0 to Korea

It’s halftime at it’s still Korea 1-0 Iran. And these stats basically tell the whole story. Some awful Korean shooting and some brave Iranian defending

Iran about to kick off against South Korea in the AFC Women’s Cup, give current circumstances this could be a special game indeed
