  1. You mean when he runs forward 20 yards, doesn't know who to pass to so either gets dispossessed or passes it 40 yards backwards to Guzan? Yeah, I love that too. 34 successful dribbles. Dispossessed 22 times. Turnovers 21 times. Well he's no Bannan, that's for sure. Thankfully.
  2. Yep. The biker "Finger" is an acutely observed thick-as-pigshit 'nose. "They should neverra sold Latchford..."
  3. I have a couple of short sleeved shirts. Weather like this, if you have to go to work and t-shirts are not appropriate, they make sense. Don't have any cartoon socks though.
  4. I'm convinced that if I tried driving a barge I'd crash it.
  5. Yer man Adam still has a farm; John Craven is still about; Matt the welsh guy gets on well with everyone. That's about it. Plus it'll be as hot as Jenna Jameson's fishnets this week. Stuff all that. Julia Bradbury!
  6. Well I called it right with straight sets. Just got the player wrong. Fair do's, deserved result, Murray really had to did deep, in that final game especially. TBH I think his sheer athleticism was a major factor, as well as his mental strength. Having said that, straight sets makes it sound like a walkover, which it most definitely wasn't. I just wish he'd smile for once. He can go out and have a fish supper and ten pints of heavy tonight.
  7. It's about 30 C here, and sunny. Very pleasant, no complaints.
  8. Heart says Murray, head says Djokovic. Straight sets.
  9. You can choose your friends, you can't choose your family.
  10. Daddy Longlegs (crane flies) are entirely harmless. Midges bite you.
  11. Good spot on my Seagull. The narrow headstock is about the only thing I'm not too keen on TBH. Lovely guitar. Never played a Supro, can't decide whether I like the look of them or not.
  12. Jenny's video has been taken down. It WAS a sybian, wasn't it?
  13. Well, that Garforth festival. Lau - OK, pleasant enough on a sunny day (although you feel they should be heard in Scottish drizzle) Ruby Turner (odd choice for a folk-dominated lineup) - good (although you feel she should be heard in a smokey nightclub) Kate Rusby - excellent (although you feel she should be heard in a pub folk club) Bellowhead - Holy Mother of McGrath, what an amazing band! Never seen them before, and now I realise that the albums don't come within a million miles of the live act. Imagine what Madness would be like if they had grown up with English folksongs instead of ska. Imagine Kurt Weill and Jacques Brel getting drunk with Cecil Sharp in a speakeasy. Imagine The Pogues trying to break up a fight between the Memphis Horns and the Black Dyke Mills Band. Imagine the E Street Band fronted by Rik Mayall. Throw in a soupcon of The Flaming Lips, The Mothers of Invention and The Bonzo Dog Band. Give them a set of traditional folk songs (but only the ones about sex and drinking). Light the blue touchpaper and prepare to be amazed. The IDEAL band to close a festival. 10/10
  14. My mum was always a bit morbid about anniversaries. She knew the date that everybody in our family had died, and tended to be a bit thoughtful and sad on those days. I never took any notice of all that stuff, and I felt she disapproved. Like I never remembered the date my dad died, and she couldn't understand why. She ended up in a cancer hospice. I was told by the lady in the next bed that she was in a surprisingly good mood on her last night, and when asked why she said: "I'm going home tomorrow". Which kind of surprised her fellow patient, as they both knew full well they wouldn't be leaving there alive. Anyway, she died during the night. On my birthday. To this day I'm convinced she did it on purpose - "He won't forget THIS one, the little bugger".
  15. where is this folk festival moon man? Garforth, five miles east of Leeds.
  16. That'll be Morag and Fiona Connery.
  17. How did you get that past the swear filter?
  18. Interesting responses about not wanting to die before achieving goals/potential. Maybe I'm just not ambitious, but I've never had any such life goals, I've always just cruised and let things happen. If I knew I was going to die tomorrow I'd be OK about it - I feel I've had a good life and thoroughly enjoyed it. But little or none of it was planned.
  19. I wonder how much scrap metal value there is in a supermarket trolley? 'Cause they only cost a pound each...
  20. The yanks (especially Jim courier) are wrong.. Type in Djokovic pronunciation into YouTube and Djokovic himself tells Courier how to say it correctly. Courier continues to say it wrong Yeah I know.. I say it like Jock-ovic.. Seems the natural way to say it... I notice that the Americans also say Del POH-tro, rather than Del POTT-ro. Correct or not? I dunno.
  21. Folk festival. Bellowhead, Kate Rusby, Lau, etc. Beer.
