sidcow Posted May 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Following the BBC text coverage of the Spuds game yesterday Chris Sutton was one of the main BBC posters. He was described as "Ex Chelsea Striker" He played one bloody season at Chelsea but 6 years at Blackburn which included a Premier league title and one of the most famous striking partnerships ever. Why do they feel the need to pander to the press obsession with the top 4 (or 6) If Chris Sutton is ex anything it's an ex Blackburn player. I don't even consider him an ex Villa player and he was here as long as Chelsea. It's bloody ridiculous and drives me barmy.

Correct, and it's not just been Sutton, I've noticed it quite frequently recently. It's like saying "ex-Aston Villa left back, David Unsworth" ...

I had the misfortune of having my cousins 20 year old daughter stay a few years ago. Utterly, utterly obnoxious. She refused to speak to me unless she needed money, she’d eat me out of house and home and left notes around the house telling me when I needed to taxi her about. When she saw any other member of the family during her stay, she’s tell them she was starving because there was never any food in the house and that she’d run out of money. We reckoned she combed her way to about £300 in total. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 11, 2019 Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2019 This one is all of my own doing. I'm about halfway through "The Great Record Cleaning Project." I now can't find a thing when I want it as they are literally currently filed under. Old Stuff & New Stuff. So record cleaning has to be halted today. Filing alphabetically has begun I'm not bothered about the order they appear within the confines of the particular band Compilations will be in their own section - alphabetically by title Solo artists filed under surname. If bands have aliases the alias band will be filed under its own name e.g. Ciccone Youth will be filed under C not S with the Sonic Youth vinyl (Edit: exception - anything Pete Wylie will be filed under Wah - Same with any variant of Thee Oh Sees) My head is wrecked, too much thinking (albeit simplistic) EDIT2: 10" get filed separately to 12" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDs I could put my hand on it in seconds, Vinyl would take hours. My Cash stuff is pretty much together though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
