The Fish

Neither of these posts sound particularly Straight Edge.

You're disgusting.

Dunno what you've confused my genial indifference for?

Scored for Portsmouth at Leeds on Saturday. Home - Portsmouth FC Still got the Geordie twang

Always fancied a driving holiday through Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Have to admit despite claims of Southern hospitality I would be worried about some of the parts between.

Not one of yours, I assume.

I've been on plenty of other clubs' message boards and the recurring theme is that whenever they've an away day in Sunderland thy either stay for a night out in Newcastle, or are in and out like a black ops rendition team.

Yeah I can only see Ruddy acting as some kind of ersatz coach. Pope is number 1, Vlacho will likely be deputy, or maybe Ruddy. Gillespie is target practise and Ruddy is the old pro. Surely Dubravka is off?

I live in Cheshire man, can't be hanging the clothes outside like we live in a Glaswegian tenement! (In all seriousness we've got airers and a line, but the dryer function is a must.) Anyway, it's sorted, Joiner is going to work his magic and we've got him to do some other bits while he's here. Old one came in through the lightwell, but that's not possible now. The fuck is the difference between spin, and tumble drying, you goober?

Look, next time the wife buys something I'll be sure to give her that advice, using just those words. Gemmil will have the number of a good divorce lawyer, right? And the dryer function is...?

The existing (broken washing machine) is 60cm wide. What say you now, fucko?

Two kids means I need at least a 8k drum. If you can find a 8k drum, with <58cm width, for a reasonable price, holler atcha boy. If not...

This would take their first team squad to around 43 players. Now, I'm sure there'll be some departures, some loan deals, but fucking hell. By contrast, Arsenal have 24, Aston Villa have 30, Liverpool have 30 Man City have 28 (and that includes Alvarez who'll be off), Man Utd have 28 and we have 35

Exactly this. if the house needed me to write a query, code an automated process or do something snazzy in Excel or Tableau, then I'm your man. Unfortunately, those things rarely crop up outside of work.

Thanks Strawb, I appreciate it. Local Joiner might be able to do it for us, he's coming around later to have a look.

Be honest, how many times have you started a job, then that's turned into a much bigger job because you fucked it up? I'm with Renton, I could probably do it myself, but I'd need to hire the tools, take time to do it and deal with the aftermath if I fuck it up. ORRrrr I could pay someone with the tools, the time and the expertise to do it for me. That way, if they fuck it up, they're the ones to suffer the wrath of an irate Mrs Fish.

Ah the arrogance of the aged. Look, if you two want to come and do the job, taking full responsibility and financial burden should it not meet the exacting standards of an ornery bald gobshite, then by all means come and do it. I, however, would rather pay a professional to do the job right the first time.

I do appreciate what you're saying and if the layout was standard I'd consider it. But the way the space is, it would be a fucking ballache and, like I said, it's be a job that would probably need repeating in a few years. Much more sensible to get the frame shaven down a bit and tidied up so we never have to do anything with it again.

He likely wanted rid of the furniture that was covered in the kind of memories that only show up under blacklight.

Yeah Victorian Terrace, loads of character. If character means things going fucking wrong, or awkward-ass layouts.

We considered that, but two kids means more loads or bigger loads (ooerr Missus). I'd prefer not to have the thing on constantly costing more money on water and electricity, so we need a good sized drum. Also, having the doorframe increased would make life a little easier anyway. That's as much of a job as shaving a bit off it. And would only need repeating in 4-5yrs time when the new machine inevitably gives up the ghost.

Weak tea is forbidden in my house. Needs to be a shade dark enough to have Farage in a tizz. We have no MArvel or Newcastle mugs in the house because apparently Mrs Fish hates fun.
