Deep down I think there's more than a few who still need to be wound up by it, football is a still a vent, there's a lot of anger and frustration surrounding it and an incredible amount of moaning Mines not too bad with villa at the moment, the relegation year and Bruce killed off my anger for this team, still got it for refs though and this summer for the euros - I know that I hate watching England, I know that I will probably sit at home with a beer watching the games alone (maybe still in lockdown) and that I be angry and that it will do me no good, I will not enjoy it, yet I will still do it to myself when I shouldn't 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 10 mins before the start of the game last night my dog was asking for a walk so I took him out, not really bothered I’d miss the first 15 minutes of the game. As the 2nd half kicked off it was children into bed time, again I had little desire to rush back to the game. A whole load of reasons to lose some interest are all coming together now. I’ll watch what I can, not get too fussed with highs or lows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The kick off times this season are actually putting me in a position where I can watch more, we don't seem to have many early Saturday or Sunday games where I would go about my life and not watch it, Sunday night at 8pm here, Saturday night 9pm, that's a case there's no a fat lot else to do, wife and baby in bed, last night wife watching weekly Sunday night German TV crime thriller so she's happy that I'm watching something else I 100% definitley would not get flustered at a result when I haven't watched the game, those days are long gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw it on Friday. Fat couple loaded up their SUV and Mr Bunter, just leaves the trolly there, in the next space. He was no more than 20-30 foot from the trolley shelter. I nearly tooted him (I was sat in my car checking my work emails), but didn't as i'm not a sociopath. I just hoped he put his car into a ditch on the drive home. There's that old theory isn't there that putting shopping trolleys away sorts the real selfish words removed from the rest of the world. In so much as nobody is making you put a trolley back. There is no punishment for not doing it. You don't really have to do it and if you don't nobody is going to do anything about it. it will eventually get put back by the trolley man. But it's just the right thing to do so people do it. Unless you're a selfish word removed who only cares about themselves. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bloody rip off, there are often deals to be had for Alton Towers in newspapers or on back of cereal boxes or tickets on ebay I know its not the same, but if the weather is nice get off to Barmouth for day on the beach and little fair ground or a picnic over seven springs Cannock Chase depends on their age though Edited April 26, 2021 by Robtaylor200 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar, when I watch a programme on tv or film where people are in a pub, in the back ground they are throwing darts. You can see they have never thrown a dart in their lives and the scores on the chalk board dont make sense. Look out for it. Oh and the extras wandering around the pub in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 When you are waiting to pull out of a junction, only one car coming and nothing coming the opposite way or behind this other car. Just got to wait for this car to pass then you can pull out. Still waiting. Nearly there now. Then they indicate at the last second and turn into the road your coming out of. Why not just flash me or indicate quicker? **** absolute word removed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of money for a day out but really want to get out and have a bit of fun. The children have not had a fun day out for such a long time and they’ve never been there before.

Drayton Manor has changed ownership and there’s been some criticism of their new pricing since reopening. They did 4 tickets for £80 online under the old regime. Alton Towers is £53 standard adult entry price without an offer, but they do a lot of offers. It’s £38 without an offer if booked 5 days ahead. WMSP are absolutely taking the piss.

I think people will find that food and drink, entertainment, service and tourism industry of all kinds will sky rocket in terms of prices, once things are slowly getting back to normal. They will try and recover lost ground for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I’d rather just go to the seaside for the day instead. £60 petrol. Packed lunch. Fish and chips on the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
