Willo Flood has done an appeal for this missing Liam Colgan - incredibly Willo Flood looks more like the Liam Colgan than Liam Colgan does.

**Currahee!** · 02-13-2018, 05:42 PM

Has Willo Flood got an aging disease?

PHOODLE-OUt · 02-13-2018, 06:21 PM

Just a standard run of the mill inbred AIDS I think.

This bald man called Ace on the news hates a scandal ridden old black man.

100kg.

It's a tricky one in that you can't deny people the right to compete, but at the same time she will have huge physical advantages, borne out of her biology, over competitors.

You just can't have that in contact sports. It's dangerous.

**Shuto Makino** · 02-14-2018, 11:19 AM

Yeah, in contact sports biological sex matters. I'm all for inclusivity in most areas, but it's about hormone levels etc. Men can get leaner than women while remaining healthy, meaning more muscle/strength even when they're the same weight, so it doesn't even work in weight class sports let alone sports like football (men also being likely to be bigger/heavier than women anyway). It's a shame for trans people, but you have to protect the athletes involved from potentially serious injuries first and foremost.

You couldn't have Brock Lesnar or Anthony Joshua deciding one day to be a bird and then heading over to the women's division afterwards. Fucking carnage Crowe

I have an email from the project manager of this fiasco in which we had advised him that the timescales they were given by CGI wouldn't be possible due to the councils own planning laws regarding fibre installation and detailed the exact planning legislation that would cause issues. His response was 'but CGI have told me that it is possible'

I'm not suggesting it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a brown envelope job.

Sci-fi would predict we would all have micro chips implanted in us one day but we basically just carry them about in our pockets.

Chrambo · 02-15-2018, 12:49 PM

I think we will have some sort of chip in about 10 years tbh. Linked to social media.

**Mr A** · 02-15-2018, 01:04 PM

Guy I was in the pub with on Saturday had a chip in his watch strap that is hooked up to some payment app (a newer paypal, run by Barclays) that acted as his device for contactless payments. Just held it up to the wee machine like you'd do with your bank card - but he app let you set your own limits etc.

Was pretty cool.

Just an extension of contactless/apple pay really. I find apple pay really handy. Can go out without your wallet and still pay for stuff. Great. Also some online shopping and takeaway orders on the phone, you simply pay using your touch ID on the phone.

When I was back in the UK last year, I was getting some confused looks from cashiers when answering that no, I did not want to pay contactless. Because I have instinctive suspicions over security.

Am I right to? Am I wrong to? Is it more secure than chip and pin? Less? May Bee
