There is an organization in New York called The Jets, they're either a rock and roll ensemble from the sixties or players of a sport which involves a ball.

Jets bringing their own to toilet paper to London because “why not? | ProFootballTalk

I'm puzzled by a number of aspects.

A 60s rock and roll outfit - or a sports team - needs an entourage of 220 people?

It knows London's sewers require thin toilet paper so it deliberately brings outsized J-cloth-style diaper-constituency handfuls of bumwipe to block the drains?

The older I get the more confusing the world appears.

Someone tell them to at least bring their own condoms - those sold in London shops are significantly larger than what's needed in America. I'm just being helpful.

Over here we don't put condoms on dildos.

Hey. Details, man. It's the little things that can make all the difference.

Now THAT is the sort of topic I have been waiting for, so I can immerse myself in FG again.

Right....................who 'knows' our sewers require thin toilet paper ? We had sewers when other countries were piling it in the street.

What is the most puzzling to me is why do they call themselves Pro footballers, and why The Dolphins and why The Jets, it would appear they need an ego boost, isn't the amount of money they earn enough for them ? And mostly.......why are they flying to England to play anyway, that's not very professional, and it's not even real football.

One must also ask what is it about American ****e and it's delivery chute that requires a larger wipe, and finally..........how come somebody with the nom de plume Ahso knows so much about small English penises and has a handy video riposte at hand?

There are differences in people who ask endless rhetorical questions and those of us who look to actually examine them. Ahso!, my passive-aggressive friend?

We play Real Football, you play soccer. Patriots Fan I am.

Yes, balls or guns, take your pick. Either way we Americans need to release some of that pent up violent aggression.

No Annie we play Football Google is never wrong.

No Bruv, that's Google UK that you use. Try this link! https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=football

A rhetorical question is a question that you ask without expecting an answer. The question might be one that does not have an answer. It might also be one that has an obvious answer but you have asked the question to make a point, to persuade or for literary effect.

Learning this, I am thankful never needing to work with British TP.

Overall this falls under the classifacation of TMI.

All that said,

I have learned that in Mexico that plumbing does not allow for flushing of TP so they put buckets next to the toilets for disposal.

How did I learn this you ask?

I will tell you.

I've worked with plenty of recent immigrants from Mexico. Some can be told over and over just to flush the TP, but if there is no bucket they'll just throw in on the floor.

Best I can figure it is an act of defiance reflecting national pride.

That takes me to the same page I linked to, with a link to Jose Mourinho the Chelsea Football Club's Manager is saying they will have to sack him because he is not just walking away.

Maybe it's just their opinion of you.

It Does so too !!!!!!!!!

Perhaps Google thinks it knows what I want to read.....even Googling ......Google.com takes me to Google.co.uk

Annie Annie.....if I click bottom right hand corner on the UK Google search page where it says Use Google.com and when I click that.....and put football in the search box, look what comes up HERE Which only goes to prove.....they just feed us what they want.

Sounds more like your opinion of me.

That was going on long before I ever got there for the reasons I provided.

HuH?

As long as the Jets win this weekend, I don't much care where they are playing.

Americans play a form of what is, essentially, Rugby Football, only unlike the Brits, they're too soft to do it properly & use padding, helmets AND wear mascara to do so.

On a point of information, if you enter any google domain with the suffix /ncr it will stick to what you asked for instead of redirecting to a local variant, wherever you are in the world.

so... USA or UK or Australia or Germany, etc.

"No Country Redirect".

I was hoping it would be a useful addition to a Google search. For example, I'm currently looking for stockists of 5XL Motorcycle Helmets (or larger), if I Google "5xl helmet uk ncr", for instance, I still get all the foreign ones, only with "Missing: uk ncr" at the bottom of the resulting links.

I'll try the CODE box but they'll not be clickable...

Google UK will then give you foreign URLs anyway. If you want UK suppliers of 5xl helmets, try copying the next line into a google search box... the punctuation is relevant, so a copy/paste is more likely to make my point.

5xl helmet site:.uk

I'm not sure I'm even understanding what you're saying.

What is the difference between typing Google and Google ? Whenever I do it it just removes the suffix anyway - probably defaulting to the root index file. Surely the /ncr would simply direct the browser to open the root index file from another subfolder (ie ./ncr/index.php), etc.?

If you're in the UK then there's no difference. You were already in the UK. If you try, for example, the German Google with /ncr after it then you'd expect to see a difference if you're in the UK, and so it is: google.de/ncr

Once Google Germany sees you're accessing that subfolder it knows you don't want a country redirect, so it doesn't give you one, so you stay in Germany.

Are you the font of all wisdom Spot ?



(That's a rhetorical question Ahso)

There are helpful pages out there.

Those are some pretty serious allegations about tudedog, Ahso. Have you evidence to back them up?

If not, then I would suggest a CIVILIZED approach would be appropriate, followed by an apology to him!

Your post is possibly reportable (Rule 1-Civility)

You talk about 'Trolls'; look to yourself first...

Read it and weep. You might want to start backwards. Apparently, unlike you I've read his posts. BTW, I never said TD was any of what I listed, I said that that's how he presents himself. For all we know this could be several people using one account or a 100 year old lady having some fun. Anyway, no need to get all hysterical, smaug.

Hysterical? Don't make me laugh! If you want an example of 'hysterical', look no further....

He presents himself as uneducated, illiterate, homophobic, xenophobic, racist, NRA-troll who misrepresents every left-leaning syllable.

It looks suspiciously like 'trolling' to me....

You still have't furnished any evidence to back the aforementioned claims, Ahso.

Besides, how would you know if I've read tudedog's posts? Never heard of 'guest' readers?

Mind your own business. The fact that TD & I like each other has nothing to do with you.

Well then maybe you and your pet should do your loving in private.

I think you feel sorry for the dog. Though that's rather patronizing.
