As a British, Birmingham-born, proud Brummie and of Indian decent, should I be concerned about going to St Andrew’s this weekend, a game that me and my daughter have been looking forward to for months and that’s a complete sellout?
Because I am.

Why make a comment like this without any further information. If you’re so insistent that George learn something then why not offer up some useful words?

I’ve concluded that most women in my life don’t understand the difference between a catchy pop song and a musical masterpiece. It’s taken me 20 years but I no longer care what these women think!! And they’re mainly my wife and two children.
What a supreme athlete, what determination and what an unwillingness to quit. All with an abdomen injury. To say he’s an inspiration sounds like a cliche and an understatement. But honestly what an inspiration!!!!

The most ‘beautiful’ person can appear hideous if they’re say nasty, or so full of themselves. Equally someone appears beautiful if they are kind and generous. Isn’t that what ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ means?
Not seen an Asian ref before. Despite some questionable decisions which feel different when you’re amongst 28,000 bluenoses 😜
Regardless still good to see Sunny Singh Gill taking on the very difficult task.

It’s the look mate, it’s very specific and is usually accompanied by a very specific snigger that only means one thing, I’ve had it loads of times and white mates don’t always see it.
Sorry I made it sound like I’d barely been. We had season tickets last year and have renewed this year. I mean this whole situation has taken a chunk out of our anticipation of this season.
@andreinawie
My parents came to this country in about 1960. They worked hard & integrated well. Going for drinks with work collegues and getting involved in the world that was going to be their new home for the next 60 odd years. This is integration. What we have here is the exact opposite.

I am most definitely not your mate but I will say this - it’s an impossibly difficult balancing act where most would have crumbled. The everyday joe thinks they can do better (with no experience) whilst sitting on the sidelines making comments on Twitter.

This doesn’t seem like a great idea imo. Most of these aside from Morrisons aren’t really great value. For £10 you can feed a family of 4 with a roast &probably have some leftover for the follow days lunch. They invite the kids for free because there’s enough margin to do so 1/2

I love my wife dearly and next year we’ve been married for 20 years. We’ve have almost no boundaries of closeness whether that’s through intimacy or inspection of a medical condition! But for a reason I can’t specifically put my hands on, the answer to that question is no!
@fesshole
It’s only not weird if you’ve just murdered someone and are still fully clothed but you can’t face the brutal reality that is set to haunt you for the rest of your life and is the only way you can distract yourself from what is doomed to be the ache in your soul forevermore.
I’ve been running a cyber security company for over 7 years. I’ve had (what feels like more than) my fair share of challenges. I would be willing to provide some mentoring for someone that is furthering their career in Cyber Security.

I’m so glad to hear you say this. I’m very much against this type of behaviour that serves nothing other than to antagonise and make a public enemy of those deviating from the law.
A personal thank you to everyone who turned up tonight, especially with what’s been going on. Everyone showed true British values and were ready to face any adversity head on. It was a massive success and I’m proud to call myself a Brummie

Great match. Glad I went to the game, the support that was there was great. 👊🏾
We had the vast majority of possession, even more so in the second half. We lacked the ability to finish when we passed the ball well. So it seems sometimes that the hard work was wasted.
Very excited to be entering my very first

It’s heightened slightly as a result of the games but it’s certainly friendly. People are generally proud of the city; there’s loads going for it: great for startups, loads of independent food, amazing architecture, lots of green space, a big city feel and of course the people!

I ordered two thermostats for the house. Only one arrived so I messaged the plumber to tell him I don’t have two. Then the same day the other thermostat arrived. I had to message the plumber again to tell him the other thermostat has now arrived and to ignore the first message.

This tweet or rather the comments below it, tell me there’s a fair share of negative blues fans that have paid their hard earned money to come to the games, only to moan when every second doesn’t go your way.

@TherealNihal
This is not a fair comparison. Let’s say I own a house that costs £500k. I do also run a business. If I lose customers and have to lay people off - would it be fair for those staff to say “hold up, he’s got a house that’s worth half a mil. Why doesn’t he sell that?!”

I agree on the most part with your points but not on the wellbeing one. I think lack of human interaction is potentially harming a lot of peoples wellbeing.

Bit of a netative outlook I feel. I run a small cyber security company and we pay well. Plus most love that fact that they’re not limited to 26 days. Meaning if you’ve grafted all week and there’s no commitment you can take the Friday off without it eating into your allocation.

Why are all the coolest coffee places and eateries in Kings Heath or Stritchley?! I think it’s great. But where I live - Solihull - especially the centre, has become a sea of chain and faceless places to eat and drink.
