@PretentiousT10 The fixation on not drinking is endemic of some deeper problem also. Like sorry youโre a bitch who gets carried away, but i can have a few beers on select nights with friends and never think of it again and have it not affect my life negatively in any meaningful way.
@wrowclif This was evident in mid 00s British TV. Shows like scrapheap challenge, robot wars. You would have 130 IQ steel worker hobbyists building and discussing vehicles made from old washing machine parts. Tinkering with primative robotics. Their sons now all work for PwC.

@stoolpresidente I like Rory and i dont really like Bryson, but this is pathetic from him. Regardless of what anyone thinks itโs a debatable decision to say the least. And if you were in that position as a player you would rightfully be kicking off
