Feel free to put me on ignore if you don’t like me.

I put a smiley face !
Alan, we might disagree over var, oh hang on I switched sides, we might agree on var but that doesn't mean I don't like you.
It made me laugh.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Who in their right mind would do such a thing? Their loss Al. Misty loves you really though, I'm certain of it.

Thanks Doc, I’m assuming it’s mostly because of the VAR thread as I’ve had the temerity to not suggest it‘s corrupt and manipulated, just inept and however much people say “just look how it is being worked” won’t make ke change my mind until it is ever proven.

As I’m one swimming against the tide somewhat, I’m labelled a VAR lover, which isn’t right. However much I say that, the fact I don’t whinge about it at all times makes me a sycophant, for whatever reason.

Apologies for not detecting the sarcasm matey.

I’ll snap out of it and become my quirky, irritating and belligerent self again soon. X

I jest about ignore. FWIW I am in full agreement about VAR. It's just some weird incompetence rather than any of the usual conspiracy nonsense. 90 second time limit on VAR would solve a few problems IMO.

Here's a quiz question. Can you have an intelligent moron? (Asking for a friend called Delaney).

 

[Kippax77]

I didn't think we were second as I though Chelsea had won more than our six. Turns out they only won five.

Oh ye of little faith

FFS. do you not know what 'between me and you' means and I dont mean in the @BlueMoonRisin’ @snorky sense either where the answer is nothing.

Boris is probably a good example of someone educated past their brain’s potential.

Russell Brand is probably another who probably realises he’s doing more harm that good, yet does it anyway.

Mark Goldbridge is another one.

Here's a quiz question. Can you have an intelligent moron? (Asking for a friend called Delaney).

@Prestwich_Blue raises an excellent question. Can intelligent people do/think/say stupid things consistently and yet remain fundamentally intelligent?

The answer lies in the words of Mr Knightley, Jane Austen’s moral-arbiter hero of her 1816 novel ‘Emma’, when he asks the eponymous heroine, an intelligent character prone to consistently stupid acts/thoughts/words:

'Upon my word, Emma, to hear you abusing the reason you have, is almost enough to make me think so too. Better be without sense, than misapply it as you do.' [italics mine]

The lesson of ‘Emma’ is that people can change for the better under kind and patient support. As Delaney appears to require neither, I fear his errors will repeat themselves indefinitely.

I would add to that surgeons.
My missus worked in the heart department at Wythenshawe hospital. She always said that the top blokes there were so clever at what they did, so brilliant and yet they did not have a clue about every day life.

You can have an educated moron. I deal with them on a daily basis.

I dunno what that means, but don't get me involved in your lovers tiff with Moustache Alan.

[East Level 2]

Dominic Raab being a prime example, Grant Schapps, Chris Grayling and one or two others spring to mind.

 

[East Level 2]

Oh ye of little faith

Little faith? Little bloody faith? I used to start every season full of confidence that we'd win both cups and the Premier League or old First Division. Even when we weren't in it!!

I concur having spent most of my working life dealing with surgeons. The best example came with former Wales rugby star and now retired orthopaedic surgeon J.P.R. Williams. I once hosted a dinner table full of eminent surgeons (and him) and he was an absolute embarrassment. Apart from being 'well refreshed' he chirped up in the conversation that in the US petrol prices couldn't be increased because it was prohibited by the Constitution. On the scale of fuckwittery that ranks alongside Trump's public statement that in the Revolutionary War George Washington seized the British airfields.

I'm talking about more mu dane things. They knew how to close an endoneocarthic endema but could not work the photocopier especially which way to put the paper.

By the way, in case we have any heart surgeons on here I made that bit up about endo thingy

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Scouser on The Chaser asked
Q. (Name given) was the political leader of which European country?
A. Argentina

They also were asked "what nationality is the Manchester City player Rodri?"
The team got it wrong. Didn't hear their answer as I shouted Spain at the same time
