Sure, we all have a little moan, we are fickle football fans afterall. But Liverpool fans not appreciating what they've got is absurd.

My wife closes her eyes when we drive through boro on the way home. To her it looks like robocop detritus.

It's not the temperature. It's how you dress for it. My people are fucking idiots. We were on a ski holiday once in livigno when it was -32 and we decided to walk to the pub with our tops off.

And you keep the recipe cards for the ones that are delish for next time. It's a great way to learn to cook and build up personalised recipe book.

LeBron is going to have Russell on the chopping block after that shit show.

If someone was the 1000th best male footballer, and transitioned to be the best female (for arguments sake) they would still be earning an absolute pittance compared to their previous earnings. This probably applies to most sports other than tennis, golf, and maybe athletics where the top women earn a significant % of the top men. Other than the unpleasantness of the process itself, i am highly dubious that anyone is transitioning because of any potential uplift in performance or potential reward.

I'd be happier if this subject went the way of tipping and was banned (lets be honest, nobody has been educated or changed their mind even a teeny tiny bit on either side in the 30 odd times this has been a topic since I joined), not necessarily because I don't want to offend her, she's can take care of herself and I'm sure she absolutely doesn't expect special treatment. That being said if people say stuff i disagree with, I'm going to respond, I wish I could leave it alone and be the bigger person, but I just can't. Especially when someone says any position other than in their opinion 'the correct one' is transphobic, that really pisses me off.

I dont disagree that that may be the case for certain issues. That's not what was said though was it? And I don't think saying 'you can't compete in elite sports because the science says you can potentially have a distinct advantage' leads to 'we will take away your medical care or other rights' for example.

Trans peoples health and safety are at risk for a great many reasons, but they are not at stake just because we don't allow them to play sports, behave. Unless they get fat and have a heart attack from it.

They might be into you if they are picking up on that.

The Olympics/high end sports isn't a basic part of society. Maybe, people aren't thinking about it that cynically and they really do just think fairness is really important.

I've been quite clear I only think that rules should govern high end sports. Olympics/world championships etc. Nobody needs to tell a 14 year old they can't play hockey with their mates.

I go about 2/3 mayi, 1/3 lemon juice. And it's impossible to have too much black pepper with tuna.

I never said governments. Sporting bodies make the rules. But the problem with that is different sports have very different rules, some degree of consistency would be better for everyone imo.
