    Lionel Messi does not depend on media attention to make a living/ career, he plays football and scores goals for an employer that pays him to do that , your not gonna tell me that mildly successful celebrities like lycett are not always hungry for publicity are you? 
    yep I suppose you are ,

    Why not just stick your hands up and say that after all the rubbish you dished out to me over my opinion on lycett it actually turns out he is a bit of a hypocritical self serving txxt after all ??‍♂️

    The highlighted part could be the single most inaccurate statement ever made on this forum.

    Seems from past musings that Warne may like a couple from Middlesbrough.  Gibson would get a stiffy getting a deal on one of our players.  They need some players and he'd suit.

    Can see him ending up there in a swap plus some cash if I was guessing.

    Do you think we can get him to deliberately play terribly for them?

    Am I the only person who is utterly underwhelmed with the amazon prime advert, breathlessly extolling the virtues of their football offerings this Christmas? I mean, the best matches they can talk about are Brentford vs Spurts, Villa vs Liverpool and Weeds vs Man City. 

    I wouldn't leave a good pub and cross the road to go watch those matches if they were showing in another pub. Who would pay to watch those games? 

    Best league in the world my 'arris. 

    If you already have Prime, the football is a nice bonus.

    Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix.

     

    Documentary where a scientist, clearly pissed off at having his theories dismissed and being labelled a "pseudoscientist", goes around the world looking at Ancient Sculptures and Structures to prove that there were previous Advanced Races/Humans on Earth wayyyyyyyyy before accepted science states there was.

    It is very intriguing and whilst he is clearly refuting common and accepted beliefs, he's clearly stating it's questions and mysteries that need better study.

    Watched one of these. His 'all archaeologists hate me' attitude got tiresome very quickly. To the point where Her Indoors, trained in archaeology, actually did start to hate him.

    No one could afford to do a statistically meaningful survey about what all the people in the world think about anything. That doesn’t mean you can’t talk about people might think otherwise we’d be silent on most topics. My belief is based on a thought experiment.

    LGPT rights is a thing mainly confined to American, other English speaking countries and Western Europe. That population is small compared to the rest of the world. It is probably only about a third of the population of India alone.  In my thought experiment I just imagined a random person in somewhere like India, Nigeria or Indonesia watching the German protest and asking what it was all about. On hearing that the Germans are demanding that people should be able to change sex at will or marry someone of the same sex I would assume that these people would burst out laughing at the absurdity of it.

    In terms of the world population we in the West are a small fringe group with offbeat ideas.

    The Germans were demanding nothing of the sort, of course.

    Hmm. A leader of men is just a phrase and could be a leader of women, or of goats. A Leader is someone who can make sound -- and sometimes difficult -- decisions, creating and articulating a clear vision, establishing achievable goals and providing followers with the knowledge and tools necessary to achieve those goals., giving and gaining respect.

    Southgate does all of those things

    Completely serious. Southgate is just a functionary. He is not a leader. Like all those of his type he has no vision or independence of thought. He just goes along with the current trend. His players like him because he does what they tell him. It should be the other way around. Would you follow Southgate into battle? I wouldn't.

    Big Sam proved that he could handle world class players at Bolton. I've just finished reading his autobiography and as far as I can see his only fault was that he was too generous to lesser mortals.

    One of the (many) things that Southgate has demonstrated is that he is a leader. Nobody needs to follow him into battle. He's a football manager.

    The thing about Allardyce is just nonsense. A dinosaur whose only act as England manager was to use his position for personal financial gain. I am not sure an autobigraphy should be your main source of information about the skillset and morals of an individual.

    He had one of the best benches in the Cup, but didn’t use them when he should have. He had arguably the best midfielder in Maddison. Southgate’s record is not great.  Not the best choice and he just doesn’t come across as a leader of men.

    What is it that makes a 'leader of men'?

    Get Rid. Southgate is not a winner. You can tell is a weak man. When you compare him with people like Brian Clough, Dave Mckay and Alex Ferguson you can see he is not a leader. I'd bring back Big Sam.

    Speaking as someone on the spectrum, I find it hard to tell if someone is joking or serious.

    Can anyone please confirm that this cannot possibly be serious?

    You’re not wrong. All energy on earth, at the end of the day, comes from the sun, even fossil fuels. It’s all there. Things are moving around us all the time, currents, tides, wind, it’s all energy created by the sun (in partially the moon, but gravitational energy all comes from the sun too).

    it’s not infinite, nothing is, but it will be there for a long, long time. There is such a lot of energy all around us. We just need to get better at harnessing that.

    Although I could see this maybe being useful for instellar travel, engine systems that might require ridiculous amounts of energy to travel close to the speed of light.

    Or maybe if you could create the energy off world, and transport it back to earth in massive batteries or beam it back in some way (although I often think about my sim city, which would often loose a block or two when the microwave beaming back energy captured in the the orbiting solar farms missed its target). 

    We could do but that would require science, which means 'wokists' will be out to destroy it.
