It's Your Round

Come Dine With Me used to be good for an hour’s mind numbing entertainment.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer chap. I hope the teeth were extracted anally.

There’s other kinds of sushi if you can’t handle raw fish. Aldi do a veggie version, I buy them for my lunch sometimes. Absolutely stunning smothered in soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi. And I’m no hipster, greedy bastard, yes, but hipster, no way.

I occasionally watch Gogglebox, mainly so I’ve got an idea what people are watching on telly. It’s helpful when people at work are talking TV, so I can at least have half an idea what they’re going on about. It stops me from appearing like complete word removed when I dismiss everything they watch as crap. Instead I can say - oh I’ve heard of that, what happened to xyz/whatever. Plus the people watching aspect of it is quite good.

And of the three, Aldous Huxley had by far the best way to go.

Not a great week with 58 points, but still enough to see a positive upward movement. Luckily Dias was substituted for Dunk who scored 8pts, which lessened the blow of transferring Dallas out for Dias in the first place.

Limpid would be all like:

I’ve seen it, something about Dean Smith having taken us as far as he can because he wouldn’t let Mings go for a pint at midnight?

At least they weren’t chanting ‘shit on the Villa’.

I sometimes wonder what would happen if some of the on topic circular arguers found their way to off topic and carried off like they do in the Smith thread. Would everyone have to secretly vacate and meet up in the Site Issues thread?

Yeah I can see how it looks like Israeli propaganda. I tend to put that aside and just take it as a film, then follow up with some reading on what actually happened. Usually the reality is a fair bit removed from the fiction.

When I was in my 20’s I’d often go out late on a Sunday night, most often getting bolloxed of my face on Es in a club, followed by an after party, and not get home until lunch time on Monday. Sometimes even getting dropped off at work still tripping. Now I’m an old man, the last thing I want to do is be out queuing for a pint at midnight. But young me would have been there. It’s easy to forget people are at different stages of their lives, we were all mental once, some still are. Good for them, as long as they’re not endangering anyone else.

Hasn’t anyone got pictures of people queuing outside Primark at 5am that we can slag off instead? Surely we’re all agreed that they really are the saddos of this world.

Really bad luck for Trez, he’s not a perfect player by any means but he’s the kind of guy you want in your squad. He’s scored some very important goals for us and works his balls off for the team. You can see how much he cares about Villa. After having to watch numerous overpaid mercenaries over the years, Trezeguet’s attitude is most welcome. He deserves a bit more respect than simply saying he’s shit.

Same here, walked to the shop in warm sunshine, walked back in freezing wind and sideways snow. Very strange.
