people think writers make good English teachers but the opposite is true. sixth grader asks why she can’t start a sentence with “and” and im like idk girlie grammar is a construct and language is a fluid gelatinous animal. people used to write “thou” and they were being totally unironic about it. start your sentences with an exclamation point for all i care. a+

Years next to Gary Neville in a changing room must make people at least a little bit sick of him.

G. Nev and OGS... why were people not starting petitions to save the poor bloke!? He looks like he's being held hostage! Eleven years next to G. Nev in the changing rooms, I'm honestly surprised he's not deaf in one ear... anyway, not the point.

And you could say "well maybe Solskjaer just doesn't like people really" but:

He had no issues with Giggs. Maybe Giggs just understood boundaries a little bit better, but he seemed much more open to a hug from Giggs than a kiss from G. Nev.

(It's 4am and I'm watching Chelsea, give me a break. The mind is not thinking properly. Anyway the entirety of the Utd team at this time is very ... vibes)

My parents have unfortunately said this for a long time. I was probably twelve when I was realised that the United States had more shootings per capita than what my parents home country did in the middle of what was essentially civil war.

This was a legitimate sign not far from where my mother grew up, another town not far was considered more unsafe than Beirut - for a British soldier, and yet there was less shootings per capita than the United States in peace times.

I was looking for a specific 1990s perfect hat trick to show my friend, and we ended up in a players all goals compilation (thanks Utd, I'm not even a supporter. Actually, I'm the complete opposite).

Poor Ole is fighting for his life against these men. He does not want to be there at all. Usually we associate that with G. Nev but Nicky, Teddy Sheringham, Beckham, Ronny Johnsen, Wazza they're all in on it.

So it's just as well for them that it swings the opposite way, and he can seem almost in love with whoever has ran over to him:

Poor bloke was also always at the bottom of a pile of men, or in the centre of the crowd:

Honestly, somebody ought to have rescued him from all of the very touchy-feely folk around him, alas. Now, do we try and write fic?

Uni is finished for summer...

On a similar note, I used to work in a pub in Kerry and visiting folk would occasionally ask for "an Irish car bomb" - without fail one of our regulars would come and ask for "a twin towers".

It doesn't exist. I'd get them their normal drink/shots. It's the principle of it.

On the flip side, there's a house in our family that's just a bounce pad. If you need a place for the night, there's a room or two and a sofa in Number 6, help yourself to it.

It actually has been really useful for me before.

THE X-FILES — 6.19: The Unnatural

I'm Irish. We know a thing or two about Catholic cover-ups. Some of them are only now being accepted with the government finally saying that they were aware of what was happening.

Everyone's like "The new Pope isnt welcoming to gay people and has covered up child abuse" like. Fork found in kitchen?

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

I actually don't know the context to any of this, but it made me laugh unnaturally

Y'all can contest it all you want but we all know that specsavers is the real premier league champion of this year:

It's a beautiful day to be MAD about the endings that Peter Stone and Rafael Barba got, again.

Not only did they get basically the same ending speech (in their own way, because Barba's was more...poetic, which fit him as a person at least), but they got the circumstances around them backwards.

Because framing Rob Miller when it looked like he would get away with every wrong he's done and be allowed to stick around, hurting people and threatening Liv and Noah? Barba would do that in a heartbeat. He knows her, they've been friends for six years, he loves her and her son (whether you ship it or view that love platonically, it's still love and you can't deny that). He ran to be by her side when Noah was kidnapped. And he's done stupid things before, either to win or to make a point. It's even one of his defining character moments in his first episode. He loves the law, and worked his ass off to get to where he is, despite being in his friend's shadow growing up, despite no one thinking he could, and he's just willing to throw it away for her, and that can't be. He needs to run, because if he stays, he loses everything.

Peter, who knew her for maybe six months to a year, during which he went through trauma after trauma and built walls of, ironically, stone around his heart? That's not him. But taking a baby off life support to spare the parents from suffering? Doing the thing that is morally right, for the good of someone in pain, even when the law is not on his side? That he'd do. And he'd say that if the law didn't agree, it needed to be changed, it could be changed. That fits his character in Chicago Justice, a character that we see cracks of bleeding through during his time on SVU, that we might have gotten back if he had been allowed to stay another season or two and heal. Then it's not Olivia changing him, because he didn't need to be changed. She saved him (as she wants to save everyone) and reminded him who he is, brought him back from "keep your bleeding heart out of my courtroom" to "When I'm in that courtroom, I'm not thinking about the State of Illinois, I'm thinking about the victims." And he is so broken, that he can't be that man right now, so he has to leave.
