The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

I guess "White Privilege" was yet to be invented by Marconi.

 

The London Dungeon has turned tae shite thanks tae the luvvies who ham it up trying tae be interactive and scary... SEE YOU, substandard actors!

Ah went a few times in the late eighties and, Ah believe Ah'm correct in saying, they had a wax, disemboweled corpse o' a victim o' Jack the Ripper... her exposed entrails and inner organs glistening under a pale street lamp.

SEE YOU, Stomach!

Ah went back again aboot ten years ago and it was a wee bit o' a let doon, no where near as gruesome as Ah'd remembered.

Hut, what is happening here.........http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-31445987

 

No idea but Osbourne was in Manchester a couple of days ago making all sorts of vague promises to devolve more powers there and to other northern cities, and there's all sorts of talk of that from all quarters, so presumably they think its a good time to try and grab some pie. Murphy unilaterally guaranteed Glasgow funds for crossrail the other day as part of his campaign for may even though transport is a devolved matter for hollyrood. :wack:

 

The Godley nails the euro 4 years before its created.

 

London is being devolved along ethnic and economic lines.

 

Osborne basically wants Leeds-Bradford-Birmingham to merge into a Northern Super-City.

 

How does funding in london work anyway? Like is hounslow council analogous to Glasgow or Manchester or Liverpool city council in just relying on taxes collected within its boundaries? Or do the taxes go to a greater london authority for disbursement?

 

Linking them up properly certainly makes all the sense in the world. And connections within the metro regions just as importantly. I reckon if you compare somebody trying to traverse the west midlands or west yorkshire to London you basically have why private investment continues to flood disproportionately into the latter - the effective pool of labour is a multiple bigger than the difference in nominal population catchment. So many people in so many places can get to so many other places so much more easily than the UKs other metro regions. Like that crap arcade fire song goes, first they built the road then they built the town innit. Or -road +transport system in this case. The performance of France's regional cities vs Paris since the 80s demonstrates that i think in my mind. CENTRALITY.

 

I can only speak about what I know re Southwark and Housing............the budget is derived from what the Council collects from leaseholders and freeholders for service charges etc. The Council then uses this to keep the gravy train rolling.

 

The London Dungeon tour experience is shite.

Well said, when it was in London Bridge you could walk around at your own pace and really take things in. Only small parts of the walk through had actors. Since they've moved it to Westminster they've added rides and all that bollocks, shitty actors trying to make you look like a mug and for some bizarre reason a fucking massive hall of mirrors on the Jack the Ripper tour. I guess in Victorian-era Whitechapel you were at equal risk of being brutally murdered or getting seven years bad luck. Tough times.

Also, during the plague section, there's a bit where you turn the corner and they shoot out this high speed jet of water (because that's how it went down, you know), just as I turned the cunt got me straight in the eye, nearly fucking blinded me.

 

Does anyone else have a friend on Facebook who keeps posting that annoying fat cunt Arron Crascall's vines?

 

who the fuck is that?

 

3rd win on the trot fer Hibs against us in the Championship. Looking like it'll be last least another year befoor we reach the top flight again. Grim times.

 

Quite the game between Wolfsburg and Leverkusen today. 5-4 with the winner coming in stoppage time. Bas Dost scored 4. He's been on fire lately.

Bayern also raped Hamburg in the bum 8-0.
