In a similar mode but not as serious, I watched Fall 2. The first Fall was about two women stuck on a tower. This one is about two other women stuck on a mountain in Thailand.
For me, it's just a film about stupidity. And at no point does the FX team sell the illusion that they are on a mountain.
One thing you can't say about our fanbase is that we're short of cocksuckers.
If you want to see a team that rarely loses, QPR aren't the team for you. We're ahead of expectations so if you want to boo something, boo your parents for raising you wrong.
A document that Man City produced to try to decrease potential payouts around sexual abuse by Barry Bennell.
"The sheer volume of victims / survivors affected by abuse by Bennell when at Man City (or clubs related to Man City) was so huge (potentially hundreds) that City feared, if they all went to court, they could face massive damage payouts (tens or 100s of £m).
So City set up their own compensation scheme for men whose careers were effectively ended in their teens via trauma of sexual abuse and rape by Bennell.
Many survivors took the compensation money City were offering, on the basis that City as a club took a "no fault" position and were not liable because Bennell never had a formal contract with the club. That compensation was generally in the thousands of pounds.
I was given, by several survivors, a copy of the compensation agreement that survivors were obliged to sign. This include a "tariff" of money they would receive, from £5,000 from one incident of "indecent touching" to £65,000 for years of multiple rape by Bennell.
Lots of victims / survivors who came into contact with Bennell during their association with MCFC accepted these payouts. 8 didn't, deciding instead to take City to the High Court, NOT for more cash but in an attempt to get City to accept some liability for BB's actions.
I was approached by a law firm acting for abuse victims to do some work on this case, which I did, pro bono. The victims lost the case on a technicality because Bennell was never contracted to City.
But City's lawyers called Bennell - jailed five times for sexual offences against boys in different countries - as a witness in their case. His sentences included for offences involving abuse of those 8 eight men. He testified against them, via video from prison.
Barry Bennell gaslighted victims of his abuse from prison, via video, at the behest of City's lawyers."
Tapping on cans of coke. Every time I get a can of fizzy drink, I tap it on top three times. I once heard f**king years ago that it stops it exploding if the can has been agitated.
I've also since heard, many times, that that is in fact complete bollocks.
And yet I still do it, pavlovian like.
Worse though. Every time I take a piss, I spit in the bog first. I don't spit anywhere else EVER (I advocate for public hangings for public spitters), but I've got this like spit-piss chain going. Like it helps my brain tell my body that it's pissing time.
That's fine. EXCEPT that during Covid I was in a Costa or something for some reason and I went for a piss and spat in my mask.
It was great that we stayed up and at the time my neighbour was this bloke Dan who was a) a Utd fan and b) a fking c*nt. So I was pretty happy with how the day went.
That said, I really didn't like being on the receiving end of history like that. It's like being the fighter who got famously KOed. Or being Barnsley to Trevor Sinclair's overhead kick.
The BBC football TV coverage used that winning goal as a soundbite for ages.
Also, who knows what the butterfly effect might have been if we'd won?
