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. Think that's the one I had in mind. I remember being so cold, I wanted to leave at half time. If it's the one I'm thinking of, StevieG fell over a number of times and was awarded a free kick every time (that probably doesn't narrow it down any). What looked like a light flurry of snow was actually much worse outside the ground and the car had to be pushed out of the car park at the end.

mjmooney Posted February 1, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2021 Only time I ever left a game at half time was Boxing Day 2003 at Elland Road. Went with my daughter, even though we both had a bout of the winter flu. We were sat in a horrible draughty corner of the ground with sleet blowing in our faces and we felt dreadful. Of course it was a dire game, and we'd both had enough by HT and called it quits. A wise choice - it ended up 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Got billed £ 50 by fedex. Apparentley some art I ordered from Italy missed the tax payment from me. I knew the painting obviously, but the tax amount didn't give much sense cause it was MUCH too low and I know the tax percentage is 20%. So I call them and ask why they are sending me random bills that don't make sense. Then I found out they had sent me the tax for the painting I remembered, but miscalculated the tax. So because I'm a **** stupid know it all I now have to pay a LOT more import tax than what I was originally billed. Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking of grenades, I noticed the Albanian guy at work has half of his right middle finger missing and wasn't sure if it was rude to ask what happened. I finally asked him the other day and he said he blew it off with a grenade when he was 7! Showed me the massive scar that goes up his arm as well. Childhood must have been very different in that part of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar injuries sustained by Terry Nutkins. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yeah there's a setting in whatsapp to stop pictures automatically being saved to your gallery on iOS too. I have mine on not for the same reason, just that I was tired of opening my gallery and having to trawl through dozens of memes to find actual pictures. I THINK there's also a setting that stops the pictures autodownloading. So you actually have to choose to click on the picture to download it and therefore view it. Could save some embarrassment too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 22 hours ago, AndyClarke said: I was there also, freezing, awful performance and DOL hid in the dugout for 90 minutes! It was later than that. 2004 or 05 I reckon. I watched it in the pub at uni and being the only Villa fan in there I was thoroughly embarrassed. It remains one of the worst games I've ever seen us play.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2021 That’s prompted a reminder, a month or so ago there was a conversation about there being no good adverts. Well there’s one or two with Laura Whitmore. She’s playing some exercise computer game in her living room. Lots of shots of her in her skimpy work out gear, lots of stretching, sweating and so forth. It’s an advert for......erm......I know it’s not going to be the Nintendo Wii, er.......hmmm......the product name escapes me for the moment but I think they’re quite effective and memorable adverts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
