@Selkirk is a lucky fuckin laddie… this is what happened to the last TT etiquette breaker…. RIP Parky 🙏🏻

FYP

Ummmm...

Awks

The donkey is about to take the good folk of Blackpool for a ride, as is the mule next to him

Cheers lads. You're all right of course. It was a bit of a dry bumming but if everybody is dry bummed equally I'd give myself a 50/50 chance. I doubt that's the case though as I am sure they recruit from within. And yes. It's a learning exercise. I'm a slow learner when it comes to this though. This is the third fucking time I have been asked a question about how I have actively promoted equality and diversity now, and I still haven't bothered researching an appropriate answer. It appears "well, I enjoy watching lesbians with strap ons go for it" maybe isn't the correct answer?

No. But this thread raises an important question for the board admin. Could we implement the opposite of a follow thread option?

I'd love to continue on but me-dian some work right now.

I think a 'snuggle bug' is LTA's affectionate term for a black footballer, usually with dreadlocks.

two references lost on me I fear this is the end of the unbeaten run. LTA has diverted from her winning formula of dull thread titles. Itself a risky strategy, challenging long-established Toontastic etiquette, but which surprisingly paid off. Until now She’s like Thomas the Tank Engine - she’s gone off the rails again

What in fuck is a wolfie doodle too... Is this the cost of us winning?!

I am frankly amazed that @Selkirk didn't notice that this thread existed. NUFC have long been known as the snuggle bugs after all...

Blackpool's already got his coaching gear ordered, even got him a hat to keep the wind out of his hair, errr, sorry, I mean sun out of his eyes....

Mmmm, donkey bacon

Aye, deep pan downstairs and chiquitos upstairs. We went there when id been out all day on the piss, got home, zonked out as I'd been on night shift the night before, five minutes of shaking me from my drunken slumber to tell me her waters had broken so I was in for another day and night without sleep. (I think she had a bairn later on, I can't remember?)

No need to apologise for our completely irrational superstitions and customs 👍🏻

Probably not helpful, but my attitude whenever something like this happens is you did your best, and it really is just a job. You've still got all the stuff that really matters. Don't let a bad job interview mess with your head or make you feel bad about yourself, especially not given the circumstances that this one came bundled with. Let them hire some other dickhead if they like. And you never know, you might think this went a lot worse than they did.

I sometimes accidentally follow things, get a load of notifications, and discover it's some fucking stupid cunts on ANOTHER interminable pun run.

Americans are pretty pathetic when it comes to alcohol - and mental health for that matter. Every yank I meet seems to be in the twelve steps programme because they once drank a whole bottle of wine, or therapy. The looks you get for sinking six pints in a couple of hours, like it isn't standard practice. Stop whining, pull your socks up, drink yourself into a coma and bury your emotions deep down ffs

Their ring fingers

I've never did a presentation and think I'd tell them to stick it if anyone asked me to, so you've done better than me. #damnedwithfaintpraise

Mate, I know a fella who started as an AO in the civil service and he’s the CEO of a public body now. And he said to me that everyone thinks his career has been success after success after success. But in reality he said it’s a been a series of failures. Where he flunked most interviews and the only good thing about that is making sure you learn about what you did wrong and do it better in the next one. And quite apart from all that, 6 minutes for a presentation is ridiculous and your preparation was far from ideal. And you might even have done a lot better than you think. Either way, please don’t be too hard on yourself

Dejected, exhausted. Job interview today, the one I was told that I needed to do a presentation on when on holiday. So I thought about it a lot on holiday, actually used my S pen on my Galaxy to do something useful for once by writing up a plan on my flight home. Converted the plan to Powerpoint on my return, finished it at midnight, sent it off. Couldn't sleep. Tried rehearsing it this morning, it's only supposed to be a 6 minute presentation but I couldn't get it down to less than 10 minutes without missing important parts out (and the bantz I had planned to ease the atmosphere). First thing I get told its 6 minutes with a hard cut off. Fuck. Nowhere near the presentation it could have been. Rushed, incoherent. Following questions were hard. Some answered well, some not, no disasters I don't think. Interviewers are on mute while you talk and completely deadpan. Much younger than me despite being senior positions. I haven't got good vibes from this at all though overall. Just feel the whole exercise has been futile and I'll never get the job I want. If I don't get a call tomorrow I'll know its been a waste of time, added stress when I was supposed to be relaxing, and I keep getting older. Also took an extra day a/l for this shit. Oh well, back to work tomorrow, make the most of it.

There’s no need for this in the stats thread. You’re just being mean.

Is that date noted when he started following it? That's some commitment.

that's what I was just thinking.

Having his first presser on the pier

I think Bruce was linked with that job too. (How’s the beer can?)

Let’s hope he doesn’t try to go on any donkey rides when he’s there. That poor animal’s back will never be the same

I tried to help the bloke with his presentation, which is more than you managed, you lazy retired cunt.

Haven't got a clue, maybe it was they had Jack Clarke playing for them ?

i would like to offer you the opportunity to subtract this pun from the record

First bullet for the match thread, second for calling us 'guys'.

Especially as @Rayvin will be along to do enough apologising for the rest of us.

Not sure it's just yanks who seem to not be able to handle drinking. When I worked at the German bank me and my boss used to sit on the same desk as two risk managers for a while who were old school city drinkers and we used to go out of a Friday lunchtime for 2 or 3 pints - not exactly a skinful but anyway. We got called into the general manager's office and as a result of his Friday walk around the office he said our desk stank of beer and could we cut it out. When we mentioned we only had 2 or 3 he was absolutely shocked as he'd assumed we'd had one at the most. We just toned it down for a while with no further action.

With a little patience.

And yet: bars with huge parking lots. Funny old bunch.

I have needs.

I did have a mate out with 3 friends in a restaurant. Long, 3 course meal. Asked for a second bottle of wine and the server gave them a card with a link to AA. Think it was California.

Chart 1 has a broad explanation already. NUFC specific it shows that we're conceding a lot of chances and not really creating that much. Chart 2 shows the efficacy of attack; above the line = scoring more than you'd expect, below = scoring fewer. Ideally you want to be close to MCI - creating loads, but scoring even more. Chart 3 shows the quality of defence; above the line = conceding more than you'd expect, below = conceding fewer. Ideally you want to be where Liv are - allowing few chances and conceding even less. Chart 4 is essentially the same as Chart 3, but with the also showing the total number of goals conceded by size of bubble.

TT etiquette is like a black hole. You can't get out of it
