@CactusJakZealot@Scow21@Elvish_Harper Absolutely right. More specifically, in this very film they had lost several ships as they ran out of fuel, so could have fired each of them at the chasing fleet already
@RogerTidy@Scow21@Elvish_Harper Also, to your point, the development of large moon-sized space stations would be rendered obsolete (as you could just light speed a rock into a planet instead) and easily destroyed (said rock could hit the big, slow target).
It's a terrible idea
@stevemagness I think that my point may have been misconstrued. Walcott is lightning fast, faster than Bale. He is nowhere near Bale's level.
Dwain Chambers tried to make it at NFL, but despite speed and size he was nowhere near the level.
Physical attributes aren't the be-all and end-all.
@medwynedwards@BenZaranko@SophyRidgeSky Advantage over the youth of today who are in a terrible place by comparison. Why do you need to have that sense of wounded dignity or affront at the question? They're not talking about giving your house to someone that is living on easy street.
@medwynedwards@BenZaranko@SophyRidgeSky I rather think that attitude is the problem Medwyn. The first point is fair, why should you change to something objectively less nice? But "starting with nothing" etc, is just the same re-hashed bollocks. The job market was better and houses were cheaper, you had an enormous...
@stevemagness Who said Gareth Bale was the fastest man in football? ๐
He came through at Southampton with Theo Walcott who is faster than he is, so he wasn't even the fastest in his youth cohort. And Theo Walcott was half the player Bale was.
@alexmassie Or here's a thought... Refine planning laws and work some fiscal levers to encourage brownfield sites to be developed. How many empty - often listed - buildings are falling down across the country that could house hundreds of built as flats?
@afneil@TimesRadio Mate you show the colour of your flag when you give that level of credence to Farage and Badenoch. Absolutely laughable partisanship
@theawayfans That is so unfair on the other pub that ended up having to host 12 blokes from Salford and about 5,000 from Stockport. Probably struggled to shift more than four or five crates.
@jjreade@Tommy_Oldham1 It is a bit of a gimmick, but to be fair to it what you do tend to find is that teams don't dodge it for long. If you are consistently out-performing it then it doesn't take much to swing into a bad run of form
@nick_mccleery Nick this is an astonishing take. Supermarkets have brought great advantages for sure, but at a high cost by looting the grey space between government subsidies and farmers, to make massive profits while farming is loss-making.
@SouthamptonFC How about, as an alternative, a retrospective 10pt penalty applicable to the league season just finished? Fair, given that you spied during it, and ensuring that you aren't in the playoffs at all?
@FrazerHatyai@metpoliceuk@VoWSilla Well you high trust all you want pal, but I'm not really sure you'll find too many people buying into the idea of having people walk around with machetes
@jjreade I get the issue with semis, that's probably fair as it's a lot to spend getting down there for a non-final. But yeah, every final should be there.
You just need fewer tinpot clubs that are being bankrolled by sugar daddies and can't fill their ends.
@RorySmith I think you're unnecessarily optimistic about the future, I think a lot of people were brought onto Scottish football by this season who won't ever watch it again after that Celtic penalty midweek.
The equivalent of F1s Hamilton-Verstappen disgrace.
@salfordslim@SkyFootball Mate they had the physio on six times in the first half when there hadn't been a serious tackle in the game. Rubbish behaviour.
