I don't like Mondays

We know a song about that, don't we children?

I don't like broccoli you know, I hate it and I'm never eating it again. I may start a broccoli 🥦 thread actually
If you started a thread about hating broccoli, you'd get dozens of posts about how much they love it.

Are you new to the internet or something :)

Took a while, but France showed their class.
Mbappe is looking to be star of the show like last time, but should have been booked for the dive on dodgy penalty appeal.

The first half was bilge, 2nd half had 4 class goals well worthy of the highlights watchers, that mbappe goal was from nowhere

My regular bar is festooned with all the flags & they have a shit-ton of TV's. I was there on the 7th before any of the boredom was being played. I'll be there on the 21st, hoping there no games on that afternoon.



...bugger
Just looked, there's Iran Vs Belgium at noon here in LA & Uruguay Vs Cape Verde at 3pm (in Miami), so that's a pisser. At least I'll be outside on the patio watching the band, not inside the bar.

We've already had a bunch of cunts flying Jordanian flags from their cars block all NB lanes on the 5 Freeway yesterday. CHP had a sense of humor failure, but no arrests. The upshot of that is people who aren't normally armed in their cars, now are.

How dare anyone not like the beloved national sport eh? And there was me thinking that a forum was for people to express their opinions and thoughts? Threads wouldn't last long here if everyone agreed would they?

And I like Broccoli as well, shit, who'd have thought people were different? ;)

They're all at home watching the France game

They'll all be pissed off after the Froggy keeper fluked that save.

Looking forward to the match tonight however, I really don't give a shit if they win or lose. Think as I age I've become passionate about different things than I once did. 🤷‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Exactly that here as you've probably seen. Football used to massively matter in my life, but these days is mostly insignficant. I'll likely watch 1/2 half, but whether i stay up for it all, depends on the game really.

I've yet to watch a game but have read more than a few complaints about "hydration breaks". They split the game into four quarters so you can see more adverts.

I feel the same way watching footy as I do any other sport, which is that I'm totally disinterested. Be it the beautiful game, watching super-fast cars go round and round in circles or people throwing themselves down mountains on skinny planks of wood.

Waste of time, innit.
