I admit I never play the records now, due to massive overfamiliarity, but they were absolutely the soundtrack of my youth, and the most important band ever. @bickster, on the other hand, (a) was born a few years too late, and (b) suffers from living in Liverpool, with all the attendant OTT Beatles industry. Enough to put anybody off, tbf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Corinthians play Ajax there … literally just happened to be playing the day before Villa played Feyenoord In a pre season friendly and Amsterdam was our base camp so went along to the game … impressive stadium , least it was back then , it was probably 20 + years ago now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) Quite often, i lie awake at night and random people from back in the day pop in to my mind...old school mates, girls i had a teen crush on, tv and sporting celebrities as well as pop bands and so on. I wonder whatever happened to them and where they are now. I promise myself to look them up on Wikipedia, google or Facebook......but by the time i wake up the next day I've clean forgotten who to search for. Its happened quite a few times now and i am well annoyed. One for the boring thread i suppose... Edited July 26, 2021 by mottaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the reason they get the right two 80% of the time is that they are simply the two most likely? Say an average (non-football fan) person got asked: "What trophy did Aston Villa win most recently?" and the options were "The FA Cup", "The League Cup", "The Calcutta Cup" and "The Stanley Cup", it's quite likely they'd be torn between the first two. 'Thinking out loud' about it is all part of the show's entertainment value. On 25/07/2021 at 09:14, sidcow said: Because they would LIKE to leave behind the 2 I mention because that's what their favourite trick is. So if I name the 2 I'm fairly sure are wrong they will most likely leave one of them up there along with the correct answer. I'm not there to entertain, I'm there to win dosh. I can't be sure but I'd wager it actually is totally random. The amount of rules and regulations there are around gameshows these days I can't imagine they'd be allowed to just take off whichever one they wanted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got pulled into a meeting by a senior manager to gather some initial "post mortem" thoughts on why the project had failed. Less than a week after we'd found out they'd shit-canned the project we'd poured 4 years of hard work into. When they pushed us because we were all quite quiet and fed up, and said it was important to learn some lessons, I spelled out in detail several of the ways I felt they'd personally ensured the failure of the project by persistent mismanagement, generally wooly-thinking, and an inability to delegate, communicate, and work well with their team. They were not keen for me to be involved in their next project (although afterwards everyone said "thank god someone said it"), and I was more than happy to resign immediately after the meeting to ensure I never had to work with that incompetent clown ever again. Tbf, unemployed isn't right, they're holding me to my notice. Looking forward to the new job Edited July 26, 2021 by Davkaus 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
