  1. Rowett just a spawny DVB mate
  2. People just display a huge lack of consideration. whether its intentional, or just by ignorance.
  3. Defo its Mountfield. I saw him being interviewed not long ago.
  4. I have no clocks in my flat.
  5. Thrilled to beat the dogheads. We usually struggle, and I wasn't confident because of that reason. Delighted
  6. I still love a drink when i'm out, but i'm far better at regulating myself than I used to be. I'm always in control now, as opposed to getting home with no memory of how I got back, etc. Yeah, I still might have a bit of a headache the next day, but I don't have the 'beer fear' anymore!
  7. You don't see bald footballers like that fella at 1:24 playing the pass anymore... pretty sure its Steve Agnew?
  8. I'm thinking - "I call that a Monday"

    Unai Emery

    4th in the league and only 5 points off the top. That is an outstanding achievement so far, I think we sometimes forget that, when we have the odd stutter like we did against Newcastle and Spurs. I know I do. What he has done in his tenure to date, is amazing.
  10. I get that. I used to read for an hour a night in bed, and on the train to work. Haven't done that for 10 years. Can't concentrate, work is always on my mind on the morning commute. Shame, as I used to love reading. I always lamely say to myself that when I'm retired or in a no stress job, I'll start up again!
  11. I guess I could add football to mine. I still love the Villa, but I'm not obsessed with the game like I used to be. The fact I could name more players from Luton Town in 1988, than I can today, speaks volumes! Collecting the panini stickers made me a nerd! Same with cricket. Love to see Worcestershire do well, but the T20/Hundred, multiple franchise leagues around the world, and endless international games, has sapped my enjoyment of it all. As soon as big money gets involved, the product gets rinsed of all enjoyment.
  12. Thats an interesting point. They are all so much faster and athletic now, it has taken away a lot of skill. It seems to be all pace and power, instead of dribbling and creativity.

    Still think you should be fourth, Poch, you rocket polisher?
  14. We have a Hobbies thread for stuff we are into now, but what about things you used to like/love and can't be bothered with now? Main ones for me: Driving - I still love cars, and watch a lot of automotive YouTube content, but the actual task of driving I have completely gone off. I used to love it. I'd take my car out for no other reason to have a drive, it used to be my thinking time, my 'safe space' so to speak. I'd go to supermarkets 20 miles away, so I could spend some time in the car. Not know. Its purely used as an appliance to get from A to B, or A to Z. Combination of appalling drivers and roads that are a disgrace with teeth rattling potholes and endless roadworks and temporary traffic lights. Feels like a chore now. Maybe If I lived somewhere more rural, I would get my mojo back. Films/Cinema - Not fussed anymore. From going to the cinema circa 50 times a year in my twenties, to not going at all in the last 10 years. People's behaviour just got more shitty and entitled. I still watch the odd film on TV, but have no idea on what is coming out. Whereas I used to get all the magazines like Empire, Total Film and Premiere delivered.

    Getting older

    Reminds me of this thread...
  16. Maybe they choose not to accept the impossible missions?
  17. I think this place is great, definitely my dream type of property. Good value as well IMO, as you are buying 2 properties. The sad thing is that it now appears to be in the middle of various business parks. I bet back in the day it was just rolling fields @Seat68? https://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/66837784/
  18. Had a boozy evening last night in Brum supping some of Purity's finest. Longhorn, Lawless, Mad Goose and my favourite, a good few pints of Bunny Hop. I'm sure the headache this morning was a coincidence.
  19. We don't need any help from that lot down the road. Any bronx hats for the babbie Tom? KRO SOTV MATE
  20. Not a bad place, went there a few years back to watch FCUM play there. Parking isn't too bad by the ground from memory.
