Seat68 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 When I was a bit younger there was a rumour that there was a porn film shot in The Tontine in Ironbridge. Years of searching and still haven't found it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it wasn’t that I couldn’t find a pork pie friendly spot. It was more to do with buying my lunch at 10:30am having just finished a full on hotel breakfast, and having been out late the night before for a biriani (Mishu, in Madeley). It’s all about pacing yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have a scarf on the wall behind the bar) I told her I was. She asked me why. I said because they are the quintessential English football club steeped in history and tradition. She said "All I think is THUGS." I corrected her and referred her to Small Heath. The funny thing is I can really hear her voice from that quote. Her husband has probably anally gang raped someone on a rugby tour, but he's a thoroughly decent man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit of a rocket polisher at the best of times but even I wouldn't dream of playing loud music early in the morning or late at night as I know my downstairs neighbours are a young couple with a kid. If I was doing DIY, even during the day, I'd go down and mention it to them or ask when they were going out so I could do it then and not disturb anyone. That is just basic manners. So Friday afternoon the bloke from the upstairs flat came down and started banging on the door. My wife had just got our young son to sleep and we were both exhausted, so we had decided to get some rest. Now, he's a bit of a rocket polisher at the best of times but I had to answer the door and he started going on about doing DIY?! He wanted to mention it us (and I'm guessing anyone else who would listen) and not to disturb us or some other rubbish. Honestly I wanted to chin him, but anyway I just smiled to get rid of him and went back to bed. 5 minutes later he's banging away at the walls and drilling for at least an hour. Neither of us could sleep and the baby was up and crying again almost immediately. What an absolute Representative that bloke is.

I very much doubt she was associating thuggery with Villa in particular (we've never had that sort of reputation), more 'soccer' in general. TBH, my wife has similar attitudes (but no love for 'rugger', either - she just hates all sport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying. Fear my wrath. Telford is a **** shit hole and the only good thing about it is nothing, I can't think of a good thing about it. Everyone who lives there is scum and deserves bumming/shooting/hammering on the face. I hope a pelican/giraffe hybrid does a poo on your houses. Sometimes at night time when everyone is asleep I go to telford to spit at it and throw litter on it. I've kicked 4 bins over and moved 2 trolleys out of the Asda car park so they can't be used. I put a cone in front of the hospital doors so people can't go in, and Dr's cannot come out, to speed up the death of telfords people and I played music in my car radio at unsociable hours a bit too loud. haha telford, **** you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
