Cull the humans not the poor walrus.
I was referring to the people that ignored pleas to leave the animal alone. Unfortunately the government have a duty to protect human life, even stupid human life
I do feel that people need protecting from their own stupidity a lot of the time, but there are limits. Intentionally interfering with a wild animal is certainly beyond that limit.

They definitely need protecting from others’ stupidity.

There’s stupidity from lack of knowledge and stupidity from recklessness. Can generally forgive the former, though maybe blame whoever’s Education Secretary this week

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
'Today the biggest threat facing walruses is the loss of stable sea ice due to climate change. As a result of less sea ice, walrus are changing their behavior. Walruses feed on the ocean floor in the relatively shallow waters of the continental shelf, where the sea ice itself sustains a rich food web.' So they're nearer shore/humans/ruthless industrial fisheries.

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
Needing to pay for lots of subscriptions to watch the footie.
Why can't I just buy a Liverpool season ticket?
Anyway.... I clicked a link to get a free Amazon Prime Trial and watched the midweek Liverpool game only to today spot an £8.99 charge on my account Complained and they said I couldn't have it free as I'd had one before. Would be fair enough but they hadn't told me I was being charged so I kept complaining. They then sent me a link for a cancellation and refund... for £4.50 because I'd also used it for an 'expedited delivery' (ordered yesterday - expected Monday, very expedited...). Kept on complaining and finally got a full refund. Bar stewards bit I still watched for free. /

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
Ipswich and Derby are playing tonight, with both wearing their 3rd kits when there is no clash with their 1st kits
The only thing I can think of is that Derby decided to turn up with only their 3rd kit, which is a plum kinda colour. This was deemed to be too close to our blue shirts?
They should have been told to go and find white tops from Primark etc and deal with any sponsorship refunds later!

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
A governing political party can apparently sack their Prime Minister for being a serial liar, appoint a replacement who trashes the economy in six weeks, then bring back the first one as a returning hero. I can’t quite remember which banana republic this story is referring to, but seemingly it might happen.

Why were Spurs wearing some godawful multi coloured training top v Man U the other night. Does red clash with white?
If I get time we will move onto black boots, shirt numbers over 11 and nicknames and first names on shirts.

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
Yep to black boots. Coloured ones would only be allowed for players who had actually won something like a WC, CL and Prem.
Should I confess to wearing 14 back in the early 80s, while being a starting CF?

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
The laws of the game should say boots must be black or (at a stretch) the same colour as the socks, unless the player has at least two Ballons d’Or to their name.

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
All wear black boots.
I'd ban the Balon d'or and anyone with an ego that makes them brag about having one.
Djimi Traore gets one silver stripe on his boot.

Re: Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread
An American* woman is suing an instant food company because their pasta and cheese takes longer than the advertised "ready in 3.5 minutes" to prepare.
Apparently that is just the time it has to sit in boiling water in the plastic pot. She has been deceived because she also has to open the lid and sauce pouch and then (life is tough) she has to stir it too.
She is suing them for $5m dollars. Her time must be really valuable. Maybe she should get her valet to cook it fresh?
* where else?

It’s worked pretty well on that level. You want to be outside in the summer, or watching cricket. Football’s a winter game, I’m a convert to winter World Cups now. Let’s have some matches in Green Bay and Detroit in December next time!
