Position them towards or under their bedroom. Leave them on at full blast. Ideally with Tattoo not gonna get us or Hanson Brothers with mmmbbbbbop. Go for a walk. Come back in 4 hours. I did similar with a clearing in the woods neighbour once. He obviously went to sleep just as I was going blearily off to work. Speakers up against the wall, with The Small Faces' "Lazy Sunday" on repeat at full volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the coldest I’ve ever been in my life. We came back from 3-1 to 3-3 which meant it was heading for extra time. A little bit of me was pleased when Danny Murphy scored a late, late winner as it meant we could get in the warm. What is there not an electricity failure that night as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC we played the previous round at the weekend and so there was not enough time to post tickets out so all had to be collected pre-match. We got there early expecting a rush, got tickets and were in our seats about an hour before kickoff, which became 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely perplexed how people can be angry we won a game of football because we didn't make any subs late on. I don't think i'll ever understand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mark Albrighton Posted January 31, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2021 It’s depressing how quickly some become accustomed to being back in the big time and subsequently throw a hissy fit when a few results don’t go well or in the most recent case, a win isn’t achieved in the manner they had wanted. Supporters have got to moan. Winning matches hinders that. I remember me posting in on topic about the number of new pages created when Villa went on their recording breaking 10 game run in the promotion year, compared to the prior 10 games (1 win, 6 draws and 3 defeats). I’ve just checked it again to be sure and here you go (with the acknowledgment that the page number can vary from poster to post, apparently)- The record breaking run produced 55 pages in the Dean Smith thread across 51 days. The ten games immediately before produced 264 pages across 62 days in the same thread. Whinging posts beats celebratory posts by a ratio of nearly 5 to 1 in approximately the same period of time. Of course it’s not just Villa. It’s everywhere, probably in every sport to a degree. It was a discussion I was having with my mates a while back, the mindset of supporters. Man Utd fans, the majority have seen unbelievable success, more than 95% of football fans ever will. Are they “happy”? Ditto Chelsea fans, Arsenal fans, Wolves fans were living it up, now they’re debating getting rid of the best manager they’ve had in decades. **** it, the current league title holders, are their fans “happy” this season? I don’t believe they are. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Deep into the Sunday night blues. I don't even mind work but just the thought of a full week ahead fills me with dread. I'm fine on Monday night onwards, but Sundays are always the same. Been that way since school. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He asked me to contact him via Telegram, completely fine with that its just an app. Anyway. My boss has seen that I have Telegram and immediately started sending me “funnies”. The funnies have now morphed into soft porn. This is beyond irritating. My grandson has access to my phone, my google pictures are open to my daughter and my wife and I have pictures set to auto upload. I am **** livid. So now I contact my mate and tell him its text or nothing. I had a similar issue with WhatsApp, that NSFW images were being sent round by the lads and they'd appear in my picture gallery. I found a way to stop that from happening (on Android) so it saved me from the worry of the kids the latest version of that "surprise - it's a man with a massive cock!" meme.

lapal_fan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I went to the Doncaster Rovers league cup game in about 2002 (I think?!). We got beat 3-0. It was absolutely freezing. We took those "snap hand warmers" to put in our gloves, but they didn't even get warm enough to help. They worked, but my hands were numb anyway. Freezing cold, strong winds and we got battered. David o Leary was getting peters. Edited January 31, 2021 by lapal_fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted February 1, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2021 Talking of f***ing cold matches. Boxing Day at Highfield Road one year watching God run around the pitch clearly still the worse the wear from his Xmas Day. Snow and the wind blowing at you from all four corners of that shitty ground... that was another cold cold one Yes we lost that game too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Liverpool at home Dec 2009. Bought a half season ticket and got put in a temporary seat for the first game right at the front where the North Stand meets the Witton. Completely unprotected with snow blowing from all angles and an injury time Torres winner. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow and the wind blowing at you from all four corners of that shitty ground... that was another cold cold one Yes we lost that game too I went to that, too. I remember hoping that the freezing fog would get a bit thicker, so the game could get abandoned, we wouldn't lose and I could go home and get warm. Changing the topic, my electric garage door opener packed in 2 weeks ago - due to water ingress from ice on the inside of the garage roof melting and getting in through gaps in the top of it. So I dismantled it, repaired it, re-fitted it, got it working again, briefly. Only for it to fail again, permanently. So I dismantled it, bought a new one, fitted it and it worked for a week. So I dismantled it, looked at what had failed and a circuit board component had blown. So I packaged it up and took it to the returns place down the road. "They (Hermes) probably won't take it, because it's not got a plain wrapping"..."Bit that's the packaging they delivered it to me in" - "well, we'll try but the driver most likely won't take it"... So I'm sat here proficient in fitting and dismantling garage door openers, but 200 quid out of pocket at the mo' and expecting to have to go and collect the parcel later and then get on to Amazon to sort their sh*t out. I try not to use them, but it was the only way with this thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
