    World Cup 2026

    Couldn't find a thread so figured I'd start one. After the absolute shambles of a draw, highlights including Trump being given a made up peace prize, the people doing the draw having no clue how to pronounce the countries they'd drawn and for unknown reasons a performance by the Village People...

    Good news, we're going to smash the third test. Having decided we practiced too much for the second test they're not bothering with that this time round and are going on a team holiday. Tough life https://www.visitnoosa.com.au/

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I spent 3 days in A&E a while back as they didn't quite know what to do with me. Was quite an eye opener.
