Chris1989

It's their, and now your, glory days. We're all like that. I try to ensure that I am always doing something new and taking on different challenges so that I am never in a rut for so long that I have nothing new to talk about. I've worked in Insurance, Finance, Automotive, Energy, and now Decarbonisation. I used to play football, then rugby, then tennis, then swimming, then cycling, then triathlons, now I have taken up running. Only constant in my life is my family. Keep things fresh, make new memories, create new stories.

My family isn't fucked, but I can't say I am that excited for family time with the in-laws + extended family (either side as wife has divorced parents, one of which is remarried) It's such a drag going to the group meet up. There's no optional games to play, there's no drinking, no music. You just get together, talk about surface level shit that nobody really cares about (How's your job Chris? You wouldn't understand so i'll just say good) and watch people open presents - mainly children opening plastic shit. My side of the family have the option of playing games together, there's wine flowing, maybe some christmas tv is on, or there will be music playing... people are just happier and it's natural.

Ok, so if I go through your online history, your whatsapp, your instagram etc, and the way the world works has changed and made your actions totally disgusting, immoral etc, I can burn you at the stake? Excellent. I REALLY hope the critics of this post remember this one in 20 years. One day you might have seen enough of the world to know it's actually right. PS, I've never said rape is alright. I called out that actions weren't right.

This is actually highlighting one of the things I hate about the world these days. People applying 2023 rules and expectations to 1989. Simple fact is, people will or won't act a certain way based on what society deems acceptable. Treating women like this was far more acceptable in society back then. I'm NOT saying that was right, but stating that in that environment it wouldn't have been a totally unusual situation. Now apply 2023 rules of society to it and that is NOT acceptable to people, and the likelihood of somebody acting that way is minimal at best. The way Axl did or didn't behave back then is a product of societies rules in 1989, and he shouldn't be tried by 2023's rules. Hell, we all agree that paedo's and animal fuckers are disgusting people that should be euthanised right? What if in 34 years society suddenly changes and declares those things to be OK? We'll all be in the dock for criticising them. Look at the way that gay people were treated before the 70's in the UK - it was acceptable to jail them FFS! Society changes, and you should be judged by the rules of society and law at the time, not by the court of public opinion of people who weren't even born, or were barely out of nappies.

Shits going down bruh. They've found the bodies. Need to talk.

I miss Lenny. He was one of my favourite posters. I assumed he was doing a stretch lol.

One of the local ASBO Chav kids and his three mates threatened to assault me and steal my property on my evening walk last night. Right in my face shouting insults and they were going to smash my face in etc. I can't fight my way out of a paper bag, but it turns out something I was taught many years ago actually works. I didn't step towards them, I didn't step away from them. I just held a stance that would allow me to ride a punch or a push, and let them go off at me. No words, no smile, no fear. Just stood there, still. "Nobody wants to fight the guy who stands still, perfectly calm, and with no emotion. An emotionless man usually falls into two categories - they're either an absolute nutcase about to explode, or an experienced fighter who knows exactly what they're doing, and you don't want to take that risk" I, an admitted pussy when it comes to fighting, just bluffed my way out of a 4v1 situation and made them walk away, staring them down as they went

I'll not do this justice as I was having chemo from 2009-2012 so my memory is pretty messy for that time and the following couple of years, but... There was a poster on here - was it MSL? When people argued with him and it escalated greatly, his go to argument was that the other person should put $10,000 in Escrow and play them in a game of tennis. Winner got the funds from the Escrow account. There was so much additional stupidity that came with it, and like I say I am not doing justice to just how much of a meme event those threads were.

You cannot defeat an ideology through force. There is too much collateral damage, which only serves to reinforce you as the evil oppressors and agressors. Kill all the Hamas? Their children just see you as the force that killed their parent. How do you kill all of the Hamas anyway? How do you know who is or isn't Hamas when you're knocking down doors and going from building to building?

Oh the memories! Classic 2010-2014 era MyGNR.

That was a fairly chilled but odd press conference. Only kicked off once, otherwise very respectful.

They'd be the only competent ones involved in this damn tour then.

Was always going to get pushed back. Fury took a few too many punches and doesn't look anywhere near ready.

Sorry Karice, I should have been more clear - I wasn't specifically calling you out there. I was ranting against the way that specific phrasing has become so accepted.

Aside from the story, I absolutely hate the way that "I was like. They were like. He was like." has taken a hold both verbally and in written form. It just makes me think 00's bitchy girls in a teen movie. I WAS LIKE SOO WHATEVER.

I played monsters over the speaker system at school, and the children were dancing in the hallways. It was sooo cool.

Is Madison still around on any of the forums?

I don't actually know, I can't see my post history to find the gap. I would be pretty sure that 2018-2022 I disappeared. Maybe I turned up when we had the village leaks?

I wasn't being serious

There is a new album. Insider knowledge.

I disappeared for about 4 years. It was a spur of the moment thing. None of you noticed or cared.
