I didn't realise but results from today's election aren't released until Sunday. Pretty big delay, there is certainly a level of paranoia in the UKIP/Robinson camps advising everyone to bring their own pens for fear of someone disappearing some votes with an eraser (surely if someone was going to go to those lengths they'd just spoil ballets done in pen).

Anyway milkshake related voter intimidation is underway and is being promoted by the group 'Stand up to racism' of which Shadow Home Secretary Dianne Abbot is president - don't worry it's not really intimidation only nazi's need to be concerned

Damn veteran nazis!! You bought it on yourselves for your nazi brexit stance!

God bless those virtuous remainers, if they weren't there to assault women and the elderly the far right really could gain a foothold in Britain.

I saw this shared on social media, and the slew of comments below it were people saying they needed to see his verified military record, as they suspected he was an actor hired by Farage to stage the milkshaking. Depressing.

Just had a look at their twitter feed and it’s a beer company run by virtue signalling neck beards for npcs , hipsters and cucks.

So basically like every other craft beer then .

This. Just this.

We can all rant on about the decline of the UK, the march of the Alt-Right, the poison that is Antifa, the shit media, the political arrogance and corruption and all the while the creeping cancer that is craft beer creeps under the radar.

Wake up sheeple the threat is real. One day we all wonder where beer that tasted of beer actually went to whilst we sit in misery drinking our pints of honey scented, citrus notes "beer'.

We are f*cked.

Buddy of mine opened up a craft beer boozer in Hertfordshire almost a year ago. The place is flying. He just got a tattoo on his arm of the boozer.

He's too far gone to come back. It's his family I'm most concerned for. Nobody deserves that.

I live in Hertfordshire, what's the boozer called?

@TeWaio he said it was snow...I did wonder if it was ash or snow, I mean winter had come hadnt it?

Apologies, guess I missed that

@taniwharugby said in GOT - there will be spoilers:

@Virgil you know snow is pretty much water right? And it was still snowing...could also have pointed at the iron throne and said look, she was so upset she did that...who would have believed the dragon did it because if his mother couldn't have it, no one could.

It was ash, not snow. You know....from that inferno massacre you just saw.

Crazy theories than Zion threatens to go back to Duke if Pelicans draft him.....he hasn't signed a shoe deal / agent yet so retains NCAA eligibility

What shits me about the TV series is that the books are full of cool links/symbolism/foreshadowing which don't come through in the show. I guess some of that is necessary to fit all the detail of thousands of pages of writing into (only!) 8 seasons.

To be fair the show did get in a few throwback zingers from Bran, like "chaos is a ladder" to Littlefinger in season 7 and "the things we do for love" to Jamie in season 8.

@Kirwan shame Drogon? wasnt as agile as Rhaegal in being able to avoid those big arse spears.

Duno how you guys remember their names, bloody hope there aren't anymore for that reason, silly names.

They're named after the important men in Dany's life: Khal Drogo her late husband, and her two brothers Viserys and Rhaegar.

That's why she rides Drogon, rather then the other two. Drogon is also the biggest dragon (like Drogo the man), as he wasn't kept in captivity in Mereen for several years like Rhaegal and Viserion were, which stunts a dragon's growth.

John riding Rhaegal is symbolic as it was named after his secret father (not that he knew this at the time). I say "it" as dragons are gender fluid in the books, as a few other ppl noted.

It's also symbolic that Viserion was the dragon the Night King resurrected after death to fight against the other two. Viserys the man turned on his sister Dany in season 1, threatening to kill her in order to get Khal Drogo to give him his army, before getting killed by molten gold topping on his head.

@KiwiMurph said in 2019 Rugby World Cup:

@taniwharugby Therein lies the issue - it doesn't look like the 2019 RWC AB forward pack will be in the same class as the 2011 or 2015 ABs RWC forward packs.

Thankfully we aren't playing either of those packs in this tournament!

@jegga Probably all the weed..

@Machpants can't see what's going on in that picture, too dark......
