I only count for half. And I would prefer not to. #BanReplay

Foundational to my personal identity and 1000x more culturally significant than all the derivative "Britpop" nonsense that followed it (except Pulp, who fucking rule to this day).

I am going to [TERMS OF SERVICE VIOLATION] every single member of Celtic's board (plus Dermot Desmond's asshole shithead failson) if Martin O'Neill isn't alright. Utter bastards.
Is the neoliberal order in the room with us right now?

Holy shit. This is the most insanely inculpatory abuser language I've seen in my life. Right up there with "Why did you make me do that?"
