Pointless Topics

No free carparks near me, so the recently installed “Safer Streets” cameras/wardens to stop people dropping their kids off at the school just means the traffic gets pushed 1 or 2 roads further along into my street.

Fair enough if parents are blocking residents drives with their cars or something, but you live in a house next to a school - what do you expect? It’s only busy for 10-15 minutes at drop off/pick up time.

It’s like moving in next to a pub and not expecting a bit of noise at kicking out time IMO.

Victor Meldrew rant over!

I live on a street with 2 school and yeah, you expect busy times twice a day for sure, general stuff you shouldn’t get upset about but it can go past that with really twattish folk taking the piss and not using common sense, busy in their main character plus child drama and disregarding anyone else that is in exactly the same situation as they are.

Might be wrong thread but yeah that’s what I’m referring to - the ‘bond’ that skateboarding gave. It’s still there but it’s different.

Stoked/Not Stoked (middle class 50-something edition)

Stoked: I got a new Brompton
Not stoked: it was faulty straight out of the box
Not stoked: they said I had to go to a dealer to get it fixed, and they stopped replying to my emails
Stoked: I gave them a bad review on Trustpilot, half an hour later they rang me, I’m getting a new bike!

Bonus Stoked: Just got tickets for David Byrne next March

Indeed it was, I saw him again once since then and it was also incredible. He gives you more than just a gig

Pretty cool collab

Yeah, don’t know if it has anything to do with the club World Cup which is in America I think?

Alex Olson also wore Inter and AC Milan shirts in pretty sweet I believe.

Always cringed seeing pros who you reckon know nothing about football wearing football shirts.

Picturing him buying the AC Milan one too without realising…

Edit - sorry I just re read your comment. I remember him wearing an Inter shirt but I don’t remember him wearing the Milan one too. Gosh, my picturing above was accurate!

Called his company Bianca Chandôn because it sounded cool to him but the name is basically a typo if you are a French speaker. :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil:

Just pushing their presence up more in America as ‘soccer’ is getting bigger and yeah plus the World Cup is co-hosted by America/Canada/Mexico next year. Which looks like being an absolute shit storm with the way those countries are getting on and their border issues.

I remember when Nyjah first got on Nike he wore pretty much every shirt they made including a spurs one :nauseated_face:
