I must have scared them away last Wednesday! The car park was full of decent stuff though... the usual selection of Audi and Mercs 4x4s along with Range Rovers, 2x Aston Martins and an older TVR (Chimera I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surrounded by green areas and large parks, and i walk to work every day mostly through park land, it really can't be underestimated how good that is for the mind and soul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Cameron Archer's goal celebration. Pulling an arrow from the quiver on his back and firing it in to the crowd. It's simply perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked at Jaguar in the late 80's we had a bar on site that opened at lunchtime. also, the WMC attached to Jaguar used to open at 4.20pm, just as we were all getting ready to clock out at 4.30. No wonder most of the blokes I knew back then are dead from drink-related illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2021 I listen to a podcast were a couple of psychologists discuss and analyse modern day 'gurus' - the social intelligentsia, the likes of Jordan Peterson, the Weinsteins. The latest episode is on Peterson's daughter, who totally hasn't ridden on her dad's coattails to peddle the brilliance of meat only diets in the main. And it nearly made me piss myself listening while working. The show basically takes clips of a specific episode/interview/whatever of the focused subject and between the clips they discuss and breakdown (and regularly mock) what's been said. Of course, on this episode, there's a lot of meat talk. A lot. The show they're analysing has a guest on, a guy with a very familiar Texas/Southern drawl, and, to paraphrase, this is what was said in an early clip. Well every meal will have some large serving of meat in it... I can eat eggs fine some people don't but I find a lot of people who don't get on with eggs are actually allergic to the white, if they just have the yolk they're fine. So I typically don't break my fast until 1 - 3pm every day - I just don't think about it, I've got stuff to do. So sometime between 1 to 4 I'll think 'Oh I've not eaten today' so I'll go have a 12oz ribeye with 8 scrambled egg yolks and that'll be my breakfast'. When he said 12oz ribeye I nearly wet myself. There's just something so incongruous with a bloke sitting down for breakfast with a big steak and a pack of eggs. They later discuss using bacon to make any meal interesting when just eating steak for every meal, giving baby minced beef as a first meal, and having 'carnivore cheesecake', (which I'm imagining is just like, beef dripping with a jerky base).
