  4. There are elements of patriotism; pride in positive attributes of one’s own country, similarities within the national character, some sense of togetherness and familiarity with your countrymen, which aren’t entirely hateful, and have been referenced in the proud to be British thing on here. It’s the stuff which drives the following: "Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime." One of the problems over here is we mostly do patriotism really badly now, and as with anywhere it’s expressed as nationalism it’s instinctively a complete turn-off and general force for bad. I’m not a particularly tribal sort in general and tend to go with the Stanhope observation that there are only two global borders of dick and not a dick. Still nowt wrong with liking elements of Britishness though, and I enjoy benign shows of national pride in customs, songs, shared history, togetherness and the like whenever I’m abroad. Its a bit like Christmas, in that you can’t let the fucking idiots who do it terribly and take it to the nth degree stop you enjoying the positive bits on your own terms.

  5. I played left back in the Liverpool Old Boys League for 3 years in the early-80's and , despite being 58 , am still a better player than the chimp-tattooed imbecile & would actually pay subs for the privilege.

  14. Was sat in a seminar today on the Psychology of Brexit. Can’t bring myself to go over just how tedious some of it was, but when the woman running it reiterated the referendum result a young exceptionally socially awkward young lad sat next to me punched the air and made a kind of celebratory noise. Couldn’t help but laugh.

  15. I really dislike the way players who have been crap or uninterested get feted as soon as they string two decent games together. The latest tosser to get the press reach around is Barkley. Has spent a couple of years injured, running down his contract, trying to break LFC legs & being generally shit , all on massive wages. He suddenly has a couple of 7/10 games and he gets an England recall and a two-page article in the tabloids bragging that 'the penny has finally dropped'. You're 24 you molly-coddled arsehole.

  18. I have to admit I find patriotism, regardless of the country, to be weird. I know this is because of my rather unique background - born in Brasil, raised in Bolivia, then moved to America, then lived in England, and now in Russia - which means I'm not really "from" any of these places, but it's still a very strange thing to me when people have strong feelings about how great it is to come from wherever they come from. It always seems especially strange to me when the person in question takes credit for things they had nothing to do with, which is always especially pronounced among people who haven't led particularly noteworthy lives and so they glom onto the accomplishments of others they happen to share a passport with as their own. I suppose the closest I can come to understanding this is with sport, because I certainly will experience a similar feeling when Liverpool are successful, especially if I'm speaking with opposition fans. It's just about the only time in my life where I feel like I understand the tribalism that seems to be a really important factor in the lives of almost everyone around me.

  23. The way I view rememberence Sunday is simple. It’s a chance to pay respects to a shitload of people who gave their lives, minds, or parts of their bodies so that I could live in a democracy. I have no problem respecting a minute silence. I have massive problems with gobshites trying to force feed me poppies because ‘wivout one you isn’t showing the proper respect.’

  25. No. Although Herman Göring said it quite well at the Nuremberg Trials. “Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

  31. This is obviously no big deal and I shouldn’t give a fuck. I feel like I being told how to speak by Noel Coward and it’s pissing me off. One boss once told me I talked too fast and needed to slow down as he couldn’t understand me. I told him I talk fine but his brain was too slow. Wasn’t there long funny enough.

  33. I’ve got a hand-me-down PS4 from the boy and no PS Plus. I hardly ever play the thing but I’ve been waiting years for this game. It’ll be getting absolutely hammered for a few months on single player mode and then the PS4 will go back to being an ornament.

  39. This boy who works in my building also gets on the same train as me in the morning, about six weeks back he initiated an 'Alright, mate?' thing on the train platform, which after a few days ended up in a full blown conversation on the platform & then on the train into town. After a couple of days of this he obviously decided I was a cunt or something because he started standing further up the platform & ignoring me, which was fine with me because I can't be arsed speaking to anyone at that time of the day anyway. This morning he wanders up to me on the platform for the first time in days, 'Alright, mate, how's things?'. Fucking twat. I just said, 'Aye, no bad' & then went back to my phone. Can't wait 'til tomorrow now, I feel like I'm in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
