  1. I've got my money on Wales or I'd definitely want Iceland to go all the way 'Small mentality'. Best revenge is success, no? Decided not to be a baby and watch Ireland - Italy and now I want to cry. Spectacular. I read something earlier that said at least one of the teams in the finals this year will be one that has never won a major tournament. Amazing.
  2. CMTV is utter garbage. I'm no screaming Ronaldo fan, but those reporters are worse than the Sun. He has a history with them, they've harassed them and his family. I'd probably throw their microphone in a pond too, if I was in his position. That being said, I love a good Ronaldo story. His comments after Iceland were egregiously misguided at best. Calling upon all the saints for a miracle against Italy. Not going to happen, but at least we've won hearts? The true treasure was friendship and respect, this entire time.
  3. Why are sports so DAMN DISAPPOINTING. Decided to forgo sleep for the NBA finals and the Warriors choked in the last quarter. Hate Lebron, hate Clevland, hate basketball, hate trophies, hate mouth guards, hate Kyrie Irving's miraculous ability to make any shot, hate myself for expecting anything. Okay. I think that's out of my system now.

    I hope I'll get to see them play someday.
  5. ^ I lost it when I saw that there was no overtime, the brutality just had to end It is quite bloody hard keeping my mouth shut and not wading into arguments on the internet, fuck's sake. Twwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaa.
  6. If you need suggestions for Amsterdam, an odd one but one I give everyone who is not Dutch is to duck into a Albert Heijn, it's comparable to Tesco in the UK and Ireland. They make amazing smoothies and there's no need to buy tourist stroopwafels, theirs are cheap and equally delicious. It's nice to keep in mind if you want to save some money at lunch so you can do something extravagant at dinner Does anyone know Vancouver well? I'm trying to decide between there and joining a friend in Marbella. I'm not exactly the Marbella type, but some help choosing would still be appreciated!
  7. I did some reading and apparently it's both Dinamo's Bad Blue Boys and Split's Torcida groups, usually bitter rivals but coming together to bring attention to the corruption. I heard whispers about some nasty, nasty, illegal-looking contracts for former Zagreb players under Mamic... horrible situation all around, if there is corruption it should be exposed but lives should not be put at risk. And the flares should serve as warning to the French, both that ID checks should be instated and security should be increased. They smuggled in flares, God knows what someone seriously determined could do. A warning to all. As much as I love the Euros, a bit glad I'm not there. Ah, sad over our loss but not surprised. It's best to go into these things expecting nothing At least we're earning some love and respect along the way and making the English look bad. Italy should be a fun game, even if it hurts! Putting all my dreams in Wales now, haha.
  8. I'm from Co Galway originally, always in my heart. Thanks for working some magic on Sweden for me! I maintain that Bonucci is one of the most underrated players in the sport! Croatia and Czech Republic... insane. Darijo Srna is an incredible, incredible man for playing that game.
  9. England never fails to disappoint me. Feel a bit like that crying Welsh fan they were videoing for like a minute and a half straight. Who fucking knew strikers can actually score when subbed on in droves? Me too, but for different reasons than you I'm sure! Work some voodoo for me for a Sweden loss Don't think my beloved boys are out of it yet.
  10. News is so bloody awful so bloody everywhere. May Jo Cox rest in peace and may her family find love and healing. Wish I had something happy to say, honestly.
  11. Jesus, UEFA is incompetent. That is genuinely all I have to say about this tournament so far. That, and I've put my money (er, just a tenner, don't worry about my finances) on Wales shocking everyone and making it to the final. I like a bit of danger. I've got no hope in my country to win and Scotland's not in it so Wales I'm rooting for it is If they don't cock it up, I think the winner's either going to be France or Germany. I already made my unlikely, ridiculous bet, so I'll go with the crowd on this one
  12. Love to everyone in North America, be they Canadians in Fort Mac or Americans in Orlando and everyone living in fear in between. Coming from a country with its share of massacred innocents and places we can't walk by without remembering the atrocities there, I hope for change and peace for the world In less serious topics, also thinking about changing my hair up. If you can't change your life, change your hair, no? It's incredibly early, such is the jet set life.

    Trying to get 'I've got broads in Atlanta' out of my head
  14. I have to start coming on Bellazon more than just once a month again Shit gets weird when I leave Bellazon for too long (PS I don't know where my following people went but if I was following you and now I'm not, let me know!)
  15. I think I agree! I'm a huge fan of Cap: TFA but I loved Civil War! A better Avengers movie than the goddamn Avengers. Still reeling over the fact that the Captain America films have been the best and most consistent ones in the MCU. Since I work a lot in ethics (ha and international diplomacy) this movie was everything, plot-wise, I could have dreamed of. From the outside, in the beginning, it looked like this was going to be a disaster because Movie Tony being pro-Superhero Registration was not a position they built up over the course of the other phases, but I really, really liked what they did instead of the Registration Act. It didn't feel cartoonish or outlandish, I could see both sides having points, and it was a vital choice to be made. Not to mention the end reveal, and that villain, just amazing. I'm so, so excited for the Black Panther solo movie now. I wasn't particularly invested before, but Chadwick Boseman is something special as T'Challa. What a character.
  16. It was all that I hoped for! I was so doubtful going in but I love T'Challa. And the reveal that I will not say because that would be very spoiler-y, at the end, with B and T, and B being responsible... Jesus. If Marvel keeps making their blockbusters this way (Doctor Strange? never heard of it) I won't mind their box office dominance so much.
  17. I just wanted to see Captain America and that shit had to play in the adverts before!!!! Horrifying. I hate commercial air travel. I just want to get rich and be able to Uber a damn private jet whenever the hell I want. Since it apparently doesn't take that much to become the president of the United States, that's my new goal. Air Force One, I'm coming for you. all these Americans on about their politics and I hate the biggest three political parties with all the power in my country hahahahaha this system is so broken
  18. Can't help but feel like I miss a thousand years of updates when I'm off for a month, haha. That, and whether or not I'm going to get this job I'm desperate for. Knock on wood. When is Bake Off coming back, dammit!
  19. I have! My flatmate's a culinary genius (say it pompously for maximum effect) and every once in a while she'd go crazy over the amount of veg we hadn't eaten and just toss everything in the only clean dish, our cast iron skillet. Always turns out well, but probably not if you like thin crust It's frankly more like a bread with toppings than what we call pizza. My life, food wise, has mostly been Tesco sandwiches and exorbitantly priced Freddos, but I took a trip to Washington DC and that was spectacular. I was just really, really excited about stopping by Milk Bar. Worth it. Also adored the sorbets at a place called Rasika that made a kind of spinach my party ate so fast I couldn't photograph it! And, of course, Georgetown Cupcake. It was a desserts-only kind of trip. Infamous cereal milk soft serve from Milk Bar Way saltier than expected but tastes exactly like what it claims to be, so! Surprise at the bottom of the cup too

    Spotify recs me weird shit. Best song about grinding I've heard, though. A summer 'jam', as the kids say.
  21. CAN'T BELIEVE NONE OF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS BLOODY EPISODE !!!!!!!! I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO SPOILER TAG SO I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE BUT !!!!! Anyway as a smug book reader this season is absolute fucking torture in every single way. Cheers.
  22. We live in a beautiful bloody world :')
  23. Bigger story here is why the hell are they still using 'the newest angels' branding a year past and running the same stories about how shocked and excited they all were to get their contracts blah blah blah? Unless that's an old article, in which case I'm a bitch and I apologise. Different discussion, but Gigi, Bella, and Kendall haven't done any work, Pink or otherwise, for VS this year, right?
  24. Not to mention these things never mean anything too. It's Vogue Australia. The only time I'd trust them to have angel news is when it involved Miranda Kerr. no one say a thing about how all the vogue/conde nast sites share content and vogue could break something, i feel like disparaging vogues this morning
