    The selfish 'I dont give a f--k' generation

    Young people (18 to 25) are, in terms of percentage of giving, the biggest supporters of and engagers with charitable causes. They're also leading the public charge on environmental change - an environment that has been almost irreparably damged by selfish older generations who've had the "I'll...

    Bladerunner 2049 v Bladerunner 1982

    Probably covered in the vid you linked but can't watch it yet; I think the answer is yes, and so is Soldier (1998 film), I believe.

    Bladerunner 2049 v Bladerunner 1982

    Huge fan of the original; probably my favourite film of all time. On first viewing of 2049 I didn't think much of it; visually great but not much else to it. On second viewing I enjoyed it a lot more. Agree that Leto was poor. Really hammed it up as he often does. Pointless character. The...

    Gillingham v Manchester City 1999

    Was at the game (stayed until the end) and was also at the Wigan Semi-Final at home (picture of me and my mate was in the MEN, taken during the pitch invasion) - we had driven up for the Wigan game from Bedford on a school night, got back about 3 am and so my mum let me have the morning off. I...

    Chelsea - Blue on Blue (again)..

    I think you've hit the nail on the head there. No one wants glory hunters taking up loyal fans' tickets, but the assumption that all blues with non-Manc accents fall into that category is just wrong. Growing up in Bedfordshire and having to support City (Dad didn't exactly give me a choice!)...

    Mark Hughes sacked

    I think he actually bought well for us (RSC being the exception); Bellamy, Zabba, Kompany, Barry, Lescott, De Jong - can't argue with any of those. Even Robinho was good for a period of time. His problem is that he's just a crap manager and coach, and that is exacberated by his apparent...

    They Shall Not Grow Old ~ Documentary

    No, and nor should they. Ordinary people dying for the greed, arrogance and stupidity of monarchs and politicians should be a thing of the past.

    Louis Theroux’s Altered States

    I think that's a bit harsh. He's not pathetic; he's just massively in love with her (god knows why, but he is). He's faced with an awful choice; indulge her polyamory or lose her for kid. Easy to say he should get rid of her just because that's what we would do if our partners tried it...

    Grenfell Tower block disaster

    Just seen the effigy video. I was quite taken aback by it and didn't expect to be that shocking - just expected to be some kind of very bad tatse, unfunny joke. If I didn't know any better I would have thought it was a Brass Eye-esque parody on how distasteful and disconnected people can be...

    When does Christmas start then?

    Other half is Canadian; so, apparently, it starts after Haloween in our house. I guess it kind of makes a bit more sense over there because that's generally when it starts snowing, but here it's still sunny and mild so it just feels wrong. Today I had to fight very hard to stop her putting the...

    Cityzens Card

    It's late every year but seems even later this season. We order three (mine, my dad's and my brothers) and none of us have ever got ours before September.

    Gender neutral toilet

    Whilst I agree that the whole thing does at times get out of hand, you're not accounting for the people whose minds are configured towards one gender and their bodies the other. In other words, their bodies might be born as one gender but their minds are born another - they have no choice in the...

    supporters in general

    I think that the points about gentrification, ticket prices and half-and-half scarves (in terms of what they represent) are correct and have merit, but I think there is a bigger reason why the support seems to have changed in the last few years. I couldn't really put my finger on it at first but...

    Elon Musk thread

    Yeah, that was excellent. His TED talk interviews are good, too. I do think he's evidently a bit of a shit (probably some kind of narcissistic personality disorder going on there) and he reminds me a bit of Peter Molyneux (big promises, big let downs) but if history has shown anything it's that...

    Myths that need debunking

    - That Mother Teresa was a good person - That Princess Diana cared about 'the common people' - That we have too many empty seats and that our fans are apathetic (we had 98% average attendance and Liverpool, with all their global support and a lower capacity, managed 98.1%; the often-lauded...

    Have you ever had your heart broken over a women?

    Once. She was, to put it mildly, a bit of a shit (likely a sociopath, possibly a psychopath) and so in some ways it needed to happen, but it bloody hurt at the time and messed me up a little. Still aches a little when I think about it; I think that's natural when that person is your first love...

    Favourite City game.....they didn’t win !

    Four stick in my mind: - Northampton Town away, 2-2 (1998, I think) - thousands of Blues there, many sat in the main home stand with us; Goater announced himself as a scrappy, almost skill-less player who nevertheless could score important goals - Chelsea at home, 2004 - lost 1-0 to Gudjohnsen...

    It was the Wehrmacht I was thinking of: "Gott Mit Uns"

    Religion

    Not to mention that in Mein Kampf Hitler mentioned 'doing God's work about 5 or 6 times; the SS had something like 'God is strength' as their motto (think it was written on their belts) and the Vatican not only endorsed Hitler, but celebrated his birthday! Nazi Germany was in many ways a...

    "Dressing room of Dreams"

    Fantastic piece of work; considering getting a print for my Dad. Shame Ali B and Horlock aren't on there. Also think it's a bit harsh on Pellegrini; whatever you think of him (I wasn't a fan) he did nevertheless win a league and a cup. Like the inclusion Glauber Berti at the front there.
