Pair of baggy grey joggers matched with nice pair of pepperpot brogues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be something like that before I even begin to consider shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine many Villa supporters of a certain age will feel too pleased for Steve Hodge this evening. He had to wait for him to die to auction it.

Davkaus Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Dressing for comfort at home just makes sense. I've been known to lounge around the house in swim shorts, because they're comfy AF. Usually put a top on if I'm working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 5, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2022 Got to see what appeared to be a police sting earlier. No idea what it was about but theres something a bit sinister about a dozen plain clothes police in masks with police caps on grabbing someone out of a car in the middle of the road in the middle of the day, cuffing them and shoving them in an unmarked minivan.

A few years back on the motorway just outside Liverpool, I noticed a car speeding up the hard shoulder. It got a few cars out ahead and suddenly there was a fairly rapid fairly controlled stop with one car boxed in by a whole bunch of plain police cars. It was the next bit I’d never seen before or since. Once stopped, a policeman got out of the front of a car and smashed a side window of the stopped car, no messing, no request, jumped out and smashed window. Second policeman got out of car and pretty much threw a police dog through the smashed window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2022 This was on a fairly busy but still residential road. I heard the tyre screech and a dull thump, and assumed there'd been a crash - we get a couple of crashes a year round here so not that unfamiliar a sound. Then there was some shouting which caught my attention, thinking the involved parties have decided to have it out, so I looked out and saw all these people in masks and police baseball caps swarming a car with loads of shouting. It looked like they'd boxed the car in with a car in front, one alongside that had cut in across it, and a van behind, all unmarked, with the van having hidden flashing lights in its usual light clusters. A bunch of the coppers were at the drivers door and pulling someone out, who they then held on the ground to cuff, before shoving them up against the van and holding them there. That was followed by what sounded like the coppers shouting 'Blue A OK! Blue B Ok!' etc, like a roll call. And then they shoved the guy in the van, while another guy who they'd got out of the car was stood being held next to one of the unmarked cars. A police van then appeared and a few coppers went over to it and had some kind of debrief, and quickly slipped away, the car they stopped had vanished and the area went from a dozen angry plain clothes coppers on a sting to no trace anything had happened.

maqroll Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 In Boston in the 70s and 80s, there was popular and controversial local sportscaster who was a notorious drunk and rumored diddler of young boys. He was eventually arrested for it and went to prison. Anyway, yesterday on Twitter, I commented on a post about a sketchy part of Boston that when I was 11, some guy tried to get me to follow him down an alleyway there. Guess who "liked" the comment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BOF Posted May 10, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 Came to the office this morning. Car park bizarrely empty. Nice one, my old spot is available. Went downstairs to start an investigation on an issue. "Where's so and so". "Oh everyone's at the funeral'. 'Eh, what funeral?'. 'Oh <{40 yr old} friend and ex-colleague> died on Friday'. Numb. Had no idea. Watched the funeral online in the office just now and really lost motivation for today. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
