What exactly constitutes going slow. Is going 60 in a 60 considered going slow? 65 in a 60? Is that slow? I can maybe understand tailgating if someone is actually driving slow, but if I’m driving the speed limit and getting tailgated, I’m not pulling over to indulge your speeding unless you’re an emergency vehicle.

I think that’s the point. They do that with loads of words. Instead of keeping the normal English word, they’ve made a up a simpler description, as if named by a child.

England: Pavement
United States: Sidewalk

England: Bin
United States: Trash Can

England: Queue
United States: Line

England: Torch
United States: Flash Light

Surely if you are convicted of a gun crime (which it sounds like this lady will be), that has got to curtail her rights to own a gun?

Nothing makes me happier than Tim Kurkjian’s laugh on Scot Van Pelt’s shows.

Different code. Rugby Union is the one that claims to be the gentleman’s game.

Different code.
Soccer is “a gentleman’s game played by hooligans”
Rugby Union is “a hooligan’s game played by gentlemen”
Rugby League, which this is, is “a hooligan’s game played by hooligans”

How the sport split from Rugby Union was 100% based on class, about 100 years ago. It’s pretty interesting to read up about it.…

I’ve dealt with the Brazilian Consulate in New York for work on several occasions, and they are the laziest, most incompetent consulate of the many I’ve dealt with. Almost everyone I know who has lived in Brazil was initially infuriated by the complete “don’t give a shit about anything” attitude that everyone seemed…

What’s the $95 for, if not the hour’s labour?

Jill Stein was the best candidate in 2012

I know conservatives who would vote for Sanders. He’s pro-gun ownership, and he is anti-big banks. I know a family of lifelong Republicans from Louisiana, one of whom worked on the John McCain campaign in 2008, who are Sanders fans.

Rugby players have a hard enough time transitioning to other codes of rugby (Sam Burgess, Benji Marshall - two Rugby League Players of the Year, both failed converting to Union).
The chances of an NFL player transitioning to even a mediocre pro-level team would be slim to none.

Under the US definition of mass shooting, this wouldn’t even qualify. At least four people need to be shot for it to be deemed as such in America.

There. Ronaldo played the whole game. And scored. And that game was played at exactly the same time as USA v Germany and was their last game of the World Cup. Why would they rest Ronaldo if qualification was at stake? That comment makes it clear that you have no idea how soccer…

The reason the Portugal game had the highest ratings is because it was the only game the USA played on a weekend. Every other game was on a weekday when people were at work.

USA men v Portugal men- a group game, got 24.76 million viewers in the USA.
USA women v Japan women - the World Cup Final got 26.7 million viewers in the USA.

The men’s game had MUCH more viewers worldwide.

All USA men’s World Cup games got at least 14 million viewers. The women’s semi-final didn’t even get 10 million…

Jon Bones Jones would be the face of the sport, if not for:
His DUI
His declining to fight Chael Sonnen which ended up cancelling UFC 151
Writing “Homosexuality is a sin” on Instagram
Testing positive for cocaine
The Hit-and-Run incident last year which injured a pregnant woman

You could say the same about Jay-Z, but the other way around. I’ve never heard a Jay-Z song on the radio, unless it’s essentially a Kanye/Beyonce/Rihanna song where he does a little bit. If he wasn’t married to Beyonce, he would have basically no traction in Europe.

But it’s a shamrock?

Boyz 2 Men was only really big in America. Aerosmith was played at school dances the world over.

Isn’t this a slower rate than 2014 and 2015?
