Cortese's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Surely you can see the difference? One's screaming and making a big song and dance about it and making sure everyone and their dad sees it. One is a few words of text which can easily be missed when someone's going through their newsfeed: "such and such was at Brugge", and isn't any more narcissistic than checking in anywhere or writing a status update. They're all narcissistic to some extent as social media is generally narcissistic in it's nature, but some are much more so than others.

 

So if it can be easily missed, who are you doing it for? Isn't that a "humble-brag"?

 

I had that too, and I've been mistaken for 25....when I was 18

 

Myself, to add to my map. I like maps. Maps are cool. Also it means I can look back over it and reminisce.

Anyhow, the WSL fixtures are released tonight which means gotta avoid Twitter as my newsfeed will be full of people talking as if there's no such thing as football outside of the WSL. If you thought men's football in this country is top-division focused, women's football just takes it to a whole new level.

 

My old uni lecturer (who is an expect on storms) has said that these storms will continue for 2 more weeks at least.

Clever

 

I hope all you guys are going to take this Men United v Prostate Cancer business seriously.

If they get the backing needed from us all then a great deal of worry, pain and suffering could be eradicated.

Don't ignore it just because you're young we need to fight this in the same way that everyone has pulled together to support the fight against breast cancer.

Make a donation as soon as you can and gift aid it to increase its value.

 

Love the way Jose's photo has generated it's own Yahoo/Eurosport trash news story. It's going viral.

Anyone played Titanfall? Just had a go on my mates Xbox and it is boring.....

 

I certainly will be. Started donating to Macmillan when my cousin got cancer but they keep harrassing me by phone so I'll probably make a switch to that one.

 

So why have it on a public forum. Buy a map of the world, put it on your wall, stick pins in it. Then it's genuinely for you. If you're doing it on a public forum, it's a 'humble brag' too!

 

Game of Thrones Season 3 box set on its way apparently, that's nice then. When does Season 4 start?

Lovely.

 

You have to admire her correct use of the apostrophe.

 

Amazingly, that might heal perfectly well, and she'll at least have got some stupid bloody ink out of her body.

 

Must have taken lessons from Godders at some point.

 

I just thought it was a shame to remove such a romantic tattoo.

 

Luckily, whatever she did could only be an improvement.
