I have tried to be charitable in the past to Tomlin because of his "problems ",but what an arsehole.

What 'problems'? Genuine Q

Getting a bit funky out there 

Is England's LB Daly right footed?

Can’t agree with that. White puts herself about and Russo comes on and benefits. It’s worked so far so wouldn’t change it 

Fair point. But White should do better there.

White should do better. Russo should have started.

Come on!!!

As long as you can love them EQUALLY to your bio-kid, good stuff. 

If you don't think that's possible, don't.

Seen us play rovers at clevedons ground too.

That must have felt like the Camp Nou to the Slags

A lot, but also so many of the grounds I saw us playing at no longer exist;

Highbury, Maine Rd, Ayresome Pk, Roker, Chesterfield, Walsall, Cardiff, Swansea, West Ham, Oxford, Coventry, Hull, Wigan, Rotherham, Derby, Colchester off the top of my head.

Likwise: Chester, Derby, Brighton, Sags (x2), Brentford, West Ham, Oxford, Millwall...and Spurs, but I wasn't watching City (went with a mate who was an Oldham fan)

Why one or the other? Why not both? What's so great about your genetics that the world needs them? If the IVF would have failed would you have had adopted? If so, that adopted child would've known that you tried everything possible not to have to resort to taking them home because they weren't good enough due to not having your genetics inside of them.

It's weird people feel the need to force their genetics out and pay a premium to do it. I've had family do it too and happily tell them they're selfish and self-obsessed for it. 

It's a shame your parents didn't feel the same. You should have been left on a tissue.

Yep, consumerism depends on more consumers, socialism requires more (less well-off) voters, religions seek more followers, the (economically) poor require big family support, the ‘don’t care if I get her pregnant’ brigade do it for kicks  … the forces for population growth totally overwhelm any pleadings from science-based logic groups.

Defeatest I know, but we’re fast-approaching the point of no return.. Bird Flu, Covid-like viruses are going to be the new norm.  The sound, scientifically-based ‘precautionary principle’ thrown to the wind for decades and we’re now reaping the ‘reward’. A few, including myself, that were once at the forefront of the ‘environmental cause’ are moving to the ‘beyond-caring’ position now. 
 

..and for present-day ‘greens’, sit down , think about things and sort your targets out before becoming ‘activists’. 
 

COYRs

utter bollocks. Socialism isn't an economically driven movement, it's a philosophy and an ideology, employed in such poor countries as, er, Sweden. Ever seen their welfare provision? Gold plated socialism.

Focus only on the twins part then. 

Well, that was the really offensive (and wrong) bit. ****. Grow up.

It absolutely makes sense.

Creating an extra person who is going to live 70-100 years is a much bigger burden on the Earth than someone using a car. Promoting IVF promotes having children where there would otherwise be no children, thus increasing the population and adding to emissions to a much harsher degree... especially if the child goes on to have kids, and they do, and they do and so on.

I believe it's a 40-60% likelihood that a successful IVF pregnancy results in twins too, so double the emissions.

Goodness me, father of IVF twins, aren't I a selfish ****.

Meanwhile, thousands of unwanted babies born every day. But you have a go at us, knock yourself out.

Why would advertising IVF be worse?  I don’t understand unless you are not talking about fertility treatment?

As someone whose children were born via IVF, I laughed at this and it didn't bother me in the slightest.

And - for reference - we had IVF because of me.

Actually far more economical than everyone owning their own cars.

Shared car usage is the best from a financial and sustainability perspective. Most cars spend most of their time sat still, not being used. Sharing them makes much more sense.

And don't get me started on having a boiler in every home...

Isn't it "fewest"?

Great work by Rousseau to set up the chance. White looked off the pace
