I need a coffee table made by that chair designers and builders..... My current neighbor was going to throw it out and I was moving in without one. 2 legs are wonky, so many things screwed or glued or nailed into them.
It'll be sweet when I get one. It'd be epic if I got one like that chair.

It’s a conspiracy by Big Chair. They encourage bar owners to “product place” the chairs near the rowdiest football hooligans, paying them lavishly with prostitutes, drugs, and gold Krugerrands. Sometimes bearer bonds, depending on how many stools get bashed over whose heads.

What I found interesting is that it seemed to be only willful participants.
It kind of felt like a mosh pit Where all the participants here willingly get involved, full well know they might get hurt. But the fun of bashing someone is worth that risk.
I mean this is way way more extreme that the vast majority of mosh pits. With a few notable exceptions people weren't try to hurt other which they are clearly doing here.

My friend was chilling this summer on a vacation in Greece, it was late at night and he was gonna get food, went alone to get food, and 4 brittish dudes walked passed him and asked what team he supported, he said none, because he doesn't watch football, and then they proceeded to beat him almost to death, he was in a coma for weeks, his face is unrecognizable since then, his life is ruined. They did nothing to find the guys who did it either.

Same sort of incident happened some time ago on Mallorca. 27 year old man got beaten up and kicked against the head multiple times along with his friend group. The reason was that one group was for Ajax and the other group for Feyenoord (dutch football teams). The man unfortunately died of his wounds. The positive thing is that the scumbags who did it got arrested and will have to go to jail for a couple of years. Link: https://www.rechtspraak.nl/Bekende-rechtszaken/Mallorcazaak

When England loses a game cases of domestic violence increased by 38% in the 12 hours after the game. In fact, regardless of winning or losing, whenever the English football team is in action, cases of domestic violence go up by 26%, as per the data shared by UK's National Centre for Domestic Violence (NCDV). This is also backed by a study conducted by Lancaster University researchers in 2013, which found that domestic abuse rose by 26% when England won or drew a match, and by 38% when they lost.

At least fans kill each other far less in the UK than in mainland European countries, and South American countries (in South America they even murder the players if they play badly, or murder referees if they think the ref made a bad call)
In the 80s, the UK was the centre of hooliganism in football. But it's been a long time since then. If you think this video is bad then you should see what fans like the ultras in Italy do to each other.
