Dutch skating fans known as 'Matties' (mullets in english)

@pointythings snow earlier but it didn't settle. Brass monkeys here.

You have to love a man who rocks a mullet in 2026.

I had one back in the day, but am not planning anything like that now.

We had some great mullets at school in the 80's, never sported one myself

Had a Suzi Quattro mullet. Soon realised that it took tons of horrible foam stuff to make it work because my hair is naturally curly and I have loads of it still. Ended up wising up.

There were a few lads at our local secondary school sporting some fantastic mullets, last year.

I saw a skullet in the wild a couple of weeks ago (in Asda!) and it was sported by a kid who looked all of 9!

DS had a mullet and a moustache a year or so back. Short lived thankfully!

We've just got a Gold in the Snowboard mixed cross, well done Charlotte and Huw! Brilliant.

Apparently, a post stating some ethnic minority child deaths are due to 'inbreeding' ( sic) does not break Talk guidelines. I am rarely struck dumb.

I broke my no reporting rule to report a personal attack against someone and nothing was done. I'll not bother again.

I got a reply telling me it was relevant (no it wasn't what the thread was about!) and a discussion point. WTAF.

That thread about white people becoming the minority in the UK is a TAAT as it is discussing what was said in another thread. Normally a TAAT like that would be deleted. But not in this case. The racists are having a fucking field day on it.

Happily, not seen that one.

I though HQ were clamping down??

.

Probably because of this study. It's first cousins and it's most certainly not confined to ethnicity in Northern Ireland for example.

I love walking along the beach. I’m about 10 minutes away from nearest.

Femke Kok, what a skater!

Yes, but irrelevant to the thread and I haven't heard the word inbreeding for many a moon.

As a lover of medieval history which involves a lot of cousin marriages, even by then there was an understanding of consanguinity amongst the sovereigns.

And agree "inbreeding' is a disgusting word.

Whoop whoop NL gold and silver again!

It’s pretty grim but there is a strong contingent arguing sense.

That thread is awful. I've reported quite a few posts which are blatantly racist, yet have been allowed to stand.
Still sitting on my hands though.

GB medal race in the skeleton, going for gold

It’s an exciting race. I wonder what their training looks like?

Oh wow, another gold!
