chappy

Went to Tesco this morning and unleaded was 183, drive past just now and it was down to 174 - would’ve been annoyed if I’d topped up this morning. Closest station to my house (an independent) has dropped 2p since this morning too (to 176).

In again as I play anyway

Been invited to a mate’s cash league with his friends. I definitely spend loads more time on it than they all do each week and would’ve won it if I had been in it last year. Announce 5th place now 

Don’t want to be cliquey about it but surely it makes sense to have the teams from the top of both leagues last season in the same league this season?

No, you'd never see me watching that.

Yes - actually watched that today - thought was interesting seeing how the characters have changed and certainly brought back memories!

 

 

Theme tune still bangs. Spent most of it working out if it was actually Karl who was bald.

5 subs could be a good rule change for us!

Best thing we can do is get behind him when he plays, captain or not

Tell it to the meathead behind me at VP

In a Hostel dorm in Hanoi a few years ago, me and two friends. Woke up one morning to the foulest fishy smell, only difference was a new backpack was rested up against one of the beds which had been empty when we went to sleep but there was no owner to be seen. We opened all the windows, told the staff on reception and got out of there as quickly as possible and returned a few hours later. My two friends immediately checked out and moved elsewhere but I was skint and we only had one more night before moving on anyway so decided to stay. Met the owner of the bag and was chatting to him, expecting him to explain and apologise for the smell. When he didn’t I had to bring it up. Turns out he had no sense of smell so didn’t know how putrid it was but had been disappointed when getting off the night bus from Hue to find that his bag had got very wet in the luggage compartment under the bus. It had been next to a polystyrene box transporting fish, which had somehow opened and spilled all over all his belongings. Everything reeked and he didn’t even know, poor guy I reckon it would’ve taken a couple of washes at least to get it all back to normal.

TLDR - bad fish juice soaked into an unaware man’s clothes and belongings

Anyone else watch the last episode of Neighbours? Asking for a friend 

Really enjoyed the black and white episode. Cottoned on that we were supposed to know who Jeff is but still couldn’t quite place him. Didn’t detract from it anyhow. Still think there’s more Gene to come.

“they’ll” does not mean there will be!! You’re looking for there’ll. Seen this cropping up in multiple places recently.

My problem with this is I don’t think SJM gets in our best XI! Great professional response from Mings on Twitter anyway.

Quote

Aslef, the train drivers’ union, announced it had an overwhelming mandate for further industrial action which will involve drivers walking out at nine rail companies in a dispute over pay.

A total of 974 drivers at CrossCountry and Avanti – 93% – voted in favour of a strike on 13 August, adding to actions already scheduled for that Saturday by drivers at Greater Anglia, Great Western Railway, Hull Trains, LNER, London Overground, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains.

I’m 100% in favour of the strike action so can’t complain when it inconveniences me. Factor this news into your match day plans though for the early kick off.

Mings for sure. Martinez can be VC and step in for games that Tyrone isn’t selected.Mings is a leader on and off the pitch and the fact he gets the gammons irate is an extra tick for me.

Stokes is bad for this, gets excited after a couple of boundaries and gets out.

His legacy lives on!

Don’t like to criticise them for getting out after big shots because they back themselves to clear the ropes… but….

Livingstone 6 6 6 4 W

Curran 4 4 6 W

after such good starts to the over just rotate it and be in for the rest of the innings surely!

New Jamie T record out today, enjoying it, on my third listen now. Like the opening track and the second side the most so far. Interested to see how it is live - got tickets for his acoustic tour in August and the normal gig in November.

Two fantastic episodes since the resumption.

The man scored 0 of 6 one-on-ones last season. 

Could argue his goals against Southampton and Brighton were 1 on 1s

Joined it earlier

This was always scheduled?
