The opposition guy had the ball with his back to goal, I went to tackle him but caught his leg, he stayed up so played the advantage. A few seconds passed, he tried to pirouette and got between him and the ball and he fouled me. So, what's the rule here? No advantage, so goes back to the initial foul, FK to them. He got his advantage, lost the ball and fouled me so FK to us. Play on as both cancel out? Some times when the ref plays an advantage but there quickly isn’t one he’ll pull it back for their FK. I think it should be a free kick to the opposition player in this instance if any advantage quickly vanished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a flat midlands accent, but where from? Black country, maybe, the way she says 'escape to the cuntraaay', but I'm just not sure. Can’t help you with the continuity announcer, will keep an ear out for her. But just taking the opportunity to say that of the various presenters on Escape to the country, I always think it looks like Johnnie Irwin takes it most personally when they don’t like one of the properties. Watch him, when they visit the mystery house and they say “Hmmm we were hoping for a bit more dining space in the kitchen”, the look in his eyes. It’s like a despondent rage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey, somebody else watches it. The presenter that gives me the creeps is Jules Hudson. He's got a real supercilious Tory boy manner, and a totally false laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them are a bit Tory-ish including Alistair Appleton, but I kinda like him, seems a decent sort. It’s an easy watch, it’s on if I’m doing the ironing or something. Interesting enough to pass the time, if I miss a bit, no problem. I know someone who appeared on it once (briefly, it was her folks who were looking for a house...they still managed to get her name wrong). It pisses all over “a place in the sun”.

maqroll Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 There's a dying fox on the beach nearby. I can't tell if its injured or old. Poor thing tried to get up when I stumbled upon it but couldn't. I'm debating whether to put it out of its misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right there. Although I'm always gobsmacked by how cheap the continental properties are, compared to the UK ones. For years Mrs M and I considered buying somewhere rural (in Britain), which is why we got into watching ETTC. But now it's just habit, as we ain't going nowhere due to family commitments. As for Appleton, yeah he seems OK. My wife's best mate really fancies him - I have tried to persuade her that a gay buddhist morris dancer is probably not for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly for the boring or the things you wonder thread but anyway... When Martin says something like “Well whoever buys this house, when it comes to this kitchen, I don’t think they’ll want to leave it this way....” Cue the sound of Jimmy Somerville singing “Don’t leave me this way.....”. What I want to know is, do the production team speak to him beforehand and say “Martin, can you work in the The Communards, we’ve been listening to them a fair bit recently.” Or does he go rogue and the production team are left to sort it out, despite having told him beforehand to reference any “mirror in the bathroom” he sees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2020 There was a quiz programme on the TV earlier, I think it was ‘Pointless’. There was a list of clues to various cities, I paraphrase but it basically came down to clues along the lines of: A city in Portugal beginning with a P. A city in Ireland beginning with a C. Plus a few others along similar lines. Anyway, the one contestant just said they didn’t know cities, so were asked to just guess, they said they couldn’t. So the bloke asking the questions suggested, well we need an answer just name a city from England. The answer she gave? Scotland. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Bullseye back in the day, when the non dart player had to throw 3 darts. Some didn't even hit the board. Just practice for a few weeks before you go on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
