In the news

Awesome snobbery in this FT piece decrying the poor taste of the pathetic people outside Europe who buy branded luxuries https://www.ft.com/content/1b68b08c-01bd-487e-b5bc-18b0cfedd462 https://archive.ph/LUD3Y

That she gets a custodial sentence for that is just criminal.

Is he wrong though?

Was it someone on here who managed a Gucci store and had to sell one particular set of hidious bags. So they put a shelf out of reach and only ever displayed one at a time. Then increased the price massively.

I always remember a family lawyer saying that mothers who'd killed their children were always the cases who got to them. Particularly because it was inevitably out of being in a incredibly desperate place.

It's a bit hypocritical to criticise those with tastes we perceive to be less refined than ours. It proves that they're just like us but that we overthink our fashion choices, which these tasteless foreigners will no doubt also do if we give them a generation or two to catch up with our sophistication.

He is properly thick, though.

A mate used to work in a snowboard shop, and Lee from Blue once bought a board, bindings, everything from there. My mate jokingly said that snowboards were only good for one use and need replacing every holiday. Like clockwork, every year, Lee from Blue would come in and buy a whole new setup.

Voice of an angel though.

Just woke up to news from Nottingham :(

He's the one who apologized after saying "Who gives a fuck about 9/11, elephants are dying".

How did berlusconi pass unnoticed? Or was it in the rip thread.

The OG of populism piss taking.

The OG of populism piss taking.

Wet t-shirt competitions as a step on the path to fascism.

Aye, some pissing on his grave was done in the RIP thread.

Was also wondering, here, twitter, everywhere, almost nothing.
Just realised when I looked at a newspaper.

He was smirkworthy when he was an outlier. Then populism went mainstream. It stopped being a joke.

FIFA being FIFA....

Fifa president Gianni Infantino had threatened a European TV blackout if rights offers were not improved.

Apparently the free market isn't a thing.

More classic fifa in the way that they didn't give two flying fucks about women's football and used to basically give it away for free and now it's becoming big they're trying to cash in.

They really are the crème de là crème of mafia governing bodies

They headquarter in Switzerland for a reason. Scumbags.

Context is everything with Ganesh..

@nick_h. How do you post FT links as plain stuff without the crap that @marcomarcos and I have included?

Sorry about that, I’ve improved the link and removed the block

You mean FIFA or the UCI?

Think he was talking about the World Boxing Confederation?
