The Fish

Wonder who helped him Prittstick on that armpit fluff?

Yeah, I'd want a pie, but if we were sitting in a pub and a bar maid handed out free pies, they're not going to be sweet pies, they'll be crusty savoury goodness. You'd get yours, take a bite, react like a toddler and I'd get the rest, like a boss.

Jesus man that sounds daunting as all hell. Just want to be clear, my complaint about the neighbour isn't the lad on the spectrum, it's his mother. Who is an unrelenting psychopath. She's fallen out with literally everyone who lives within a few doors of her. Including the family who lived in this house before us. She's got a face like a dropkicked binbag too.

I was brought up properly, so as you're a guest I let your first post go. But this one? Boy, I tell you, that dog won't hunt.

Of course it would. Once the 'legacy' fans are priced out, the atmosphere will dull and eventually fizzle out. Attendances will drop because tourists won't fill the stadiums and the 'product' won't be as interesting without the atmosphere and variety. Local fans won't want to pour any of their money into a league that has no history, no spectacle. If every match is 'special' no match is special. It's the typical top down approach; people like X, lets give them more X.

We've used Groobox, no idea if it's available where you are.

Mate, I reckon you're more my sisters' speed.

And you're welcome to, when I do.

This hill you've chosen to die on is cold, the hill is lonely and the hill is wrong. But that's ok.

Our form before he joined was appalling, he turned us around and if you don't agree that's fine. We can agree to disagree.

Did click and collect for most of the sides and snacks, picking up the chicken from a local butchers on Saturday (not doing turkey because it's boring as fuck), getting the veg delivered too. Wife has gone over the top with the food mind, there's just the three of us with maybe another popping around on Christmas Eve for tea. The amount we've bought could conservatively feed 6 CTs.

I do have a kid. School is only 7 minute walk though. Bring him home, give him some snacks get the Lego out, log back on the laptop and move my finger around the pad now and then. Family lives 3hrs away so no popping in. One Sister in Law lives about an hour away but she's dead canny. One downside is the neighbour has a 30yr old son on the spectrum and they have regular screaming matches, but that's as entertaining as it is annoying. Latest contretemps was about Christmas presents and apparently the mother wants to be clear that she "FUCKING HATES WRAPPING PRESENTS!" and his calming words were "Well that's why EVERYBODY HATES YOU!

She bloody does exist, you've met her, several times. Edit: And you were at the Wedding!

I've got a table and little calculator to give you miles between the stadiums in the PL if you want it? Home team down the left of the bottom table

Nee worries, I enjoy the badinage.

In those 5 1/2 games Newcastle picked up 4 wins, a draw and a loss (to Man City), his performances were excellent in all of them and he was, without a doubt, key in turning around the fortunes of the club at the time.

Just love my job is all.

I'm 'at work' now. Having a lovely glass of red while responding to an email with "Hi xxxxx, I think it's important that we bring in an XXXX specialist so I've arranged a meeting 4th January with XXXX XXXXX when they're back from leave. Any questions prior to this, please let me know. Dave"

So what do we think? The Jungle? Strictly? Own show on GB News?

Nah, I've got my own, but you've sorted it and screen grabbed it and everything. (but yeah I am a lazy cunt)

What and put up with such searing insight as this; Nah, you're alright.
