Late Night Thread

[Lewis]

All the top lads are online but nobody is posting. What's happening TTH?

[Pepe]

We're posting in The Group.

[randomlegend]

Tracking planes

[Lewis]

I am hereby offering The Group out.

[Shindig]

I'm staying up later because the 45 year olds who live next door are having their "One a fortnight LOUD EVERYTHING PARTY."

[Don]

Got to drive to Heathrow to pick up my COVID-ridden father early in the morning so I'm out. The Group bants were strong tonight though, GS had a tinder park date this afternoon with a librarian and Kiko was pretty smashed on the beers.

[Queenslander]

Nice sunday arvo mooch around the neighbourhood.

[John Arne]

Late morning coffee for me.

Still not married? His bag must be like a bin liner.

[Kikó]

Taz is not in the group.

Jimmy and Ian are however.

[Queenslander]

Is there much smooching within the group?

[Giggles]

Is there much smooching within the group?

They have to compliment Kiko at least once a day or their membership lapses.

[Kikó]

Are you still joining at the discounted rate?

[Giggles]

Not if it was money my way.

[Spikey M]

Jimmy and Ian are dead to me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

As if the Group could handle my searing mateyness and impish banter.

[Giggles]

Another pointless bank holiday. We definitely should get all these back.

[Ian]

Jimmy and Ian are dead to me.

I missed this but have a belated 'u wot m8?'

EDIT: Ah, I see missed Kiko's naughty fibs a whopping four posts further up.

[Kikó]

OR IS IT.

etc.

[Spikey M]

I just don't know what to believe any more.

[Giggles]

That’s like something off crap 90’s football.

VAR failing again.

[-james-]

Just had a knock on the door from my downstairs neighbour who's been awaken to the sound of his bathroom flooding from above.

I had a bath an hour earlier and before that was pissing about with the drain trying to unclog it. Amateur plumbing is perhaps not the one.

[Manc]

Any particular reason for having a soak at 1AM?

[-james-]

Just fancied it.

[Queenslander]

Bad Boy Bubby

[Don]

What the hell did you do to the drain? A coat hanger and a but of bleach/plughole unblocker is surely all that is required normally.

[John Arne]

I went to the beach for the weekend. Here's the moon, Jupiter and Saturn.
My phone is shit at night.

[Mazuuurk]

What makes it so much better during the day?

[Ian]

If you cut out the weird blurry people you could pass that off as being painted or something.

[Spikey M]

You can't call them weird and blurry just because their eyes are squinty you racist shit.

[Jimmy Floyd]

One in the eye for those woke tossers who claim that Jupiter is bigger than OUR moon.

[John Arne]

What makes it so much better during the day?

No idea. It's a OnePlus 6T phone. The camera is great with lots of light, but pretty shoddy at night.

I might just crop them out and use it as a desktop wallpaper.

[John Arne]

If I send a batch of high quality footy shirts to the UK (like 10 of them) would they just get in or would they be stopped at customs for some import tax or something?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Receiver will have to pay VAT if it's worth more than £39, import duty only kicks in at £135.

[John Arne]

Ta. Perhaps I'll take them out of their plastic bags and mark it as being worth £50.

[Don]

My £10 fakes from China come in their plastic bags, relax.

[randomlegend]

It seems like pot luck whether you get hit for VAT/duty when importing in my experience.

Also starting a conversation in the late night thread at 9am is banworthy for sure.

[Shindig]

It's always Late Night somewhere (tm)

[John Arne]

Did we have a 20/21 Premier League prediction thread? Thought we did, but I can't find it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Christ I hope not.

Liverpool letting me down, but otherwise SOUND.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

A little while ago whilst walking home I saw a youth jump a metal gate at the side of the train station here followed by two other youths. It looked like the first was being chased by the two behind him as I heard him say "Fuck off you wankers".

No idea if they caught him and battered him or what it was about but it feels like life is returning to normality.

[Shindig]

Durham was packed today. I went into a shop that wasn't a Tesco for the first time in months. Feels good. I've also been enjoying the local kids having a personal war against the corner shop. They stole the lottery display.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I went to Woburn Safari park today. It was absolutely packed.

Most of the indoor stuff was closed obviously (as were a few outdoor things like the Lemar enclosure "for social distancing") but it was fun.

Currently some cunts loudly singing Dancing in the Moonlight repeatedly over and over nearby at a party, I am officially old because is pissing me right off. Maybe it's just that song, I was once stuck working a train with a load of middle aged pisscans doing the same.

Such a shame we couldn't go and see him up close.

[Lewis]

I went to London when it was in tier two before Christmas and it was amazing. I went to the Tower of London, which had more staff in it than tourists, and I practically had St Paul's Cathedral to myself. I might go and try some other things the week things re-open in the hope that people don't flood back to them.

The trains were pretty full today. I don't think you'll be as lucky. Although I do also need to do the St Paul's visit as well.

[Shindig]

Four weeks til the museums open up. Hopefully the DeHavilland Trident rotting away by Nissan isn't just a nosecone now. It's odd to see shops like CeX empty, though. I could move around in there without being blocked by mentalists looking for DVD copies of The Tuxedo, or whatever.

Quality throw.

Shit... legit could have died but stayed on his feet. Geezer needs to go into boxing.

[Shindig]

Right down to fucking business. :D

Think it smashes off at least 3 or 4 of them. The state of the guys like walk to the left before being decked

[Boydy]

What was that?

[Waffdon]

A plant pot I think

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It was a fairly large plant pot full of soil.

There's even some sort of plant in it.

[Kikó]

Good to see Rory Delap keeping well.

[Manc]

Rory would have cleared the terraces over the road.

[Mazuuurk]

Ah thanks Phonics, am able to post again.

Pro tip - don't try to change your TTH password :D

Why is “axe throwing” seemingly an activity that people want to do as part of a stag do? What even is it and why is it costing £27 per person?

[Spikey M]

Why is “axe throwing” seemingly an activity that people want to do as part of a stag do? What even is it and why is it costing £27 per person?

It's wood with a dart board painted on it and you chuck axes at it. It's stag do stuff because "grrrrr beer, strippers, axes, steak, I'm a man, me".

[Don]

Because people cottoned onto the fact bowling is fucking similarly dogshit and needed a hole filled and businesses saw yuppies were willing to pay for anything.

[Baz]

Sounds dreadful.

It’s come about cos the bloke who rents out this massive house to stag and hen parties also offers a load of activities. When our group was like “er nah we’ll just do a pub crawl through Nottingham thanks anyway m8” he said it was exceptionally rare that groups choose to do no activities and started banging on about pubs probably not letting 18 lads rock up the first weekend after restrictions are lifted. :cab: So now it seems axe throwing has been booked just to stop him sulking, cos a few are worried there’ll be “nothing to do” if pubs turn us away. :cab: We’re in a massive house with a ridiculous garden. Let’s drink as much beer as possible, have a barbecue and kick a ball about. Axe throwing? Cmon.

We also have booked Hooters for tea. Lads lads lads. They seem to serve Lagunitas and Gamma Ray so that’s good.

[Alex]

Urgh, organised fun. That is the worst bit about stag do's. I love a stag do as well. But just let me sit (or maybe occasionally stand) and drink for a weekend. I've never participated in a single stag do "activity" that I really enjoyed. Grown men go-karting and shit. No thank you. You just know "axe throwing" while be staffed entirely by people with trendy beards and shit tattoos too, I can picture it.

I've actually been to that Hooters in Nottingham before. It wasn't my idea, but that doesn't excuse it. It was weird. I was sat in there about 4pm on a Friday and it just immediately filled up with blokes finishing work who you could just tell went in there every week at the same time.

The way they all interacted with the waitresses, it was a bit like being in a strip club. But obviously without the back room and the impending, paid-for nakedness. Just the awkward "alright love, what's your name" chatter. Really bizarre. I assume they just massively over-tip on the bill in the hope of an arm on the shoulder and smile, or something? Strange place.

It's not near anywhere remotely interesting either, if I remember rightly. Bit out of the way. It was a long time ago though, I could be wrong.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd actually quite like to do axe throwing, although I imagine it would get quite boring quickly.

[Ian]

I have, thankfully, never been in a Hooters but it just sounds like it has to be a grim experience for all involved.

[niko_cee]

I just assumed they'd leave a giant target and a stack of axes in the [massive] garden.

I mean, 18 pissed up LADS, what could possibly go wrong?

[Baz]

And I’ve only ever met one of them. :baz:

[mo]

We did gorge walking on a stag do once, that was actually pretty fun (not normally my cup of tea). Did paddle boarding and raft building the day after, so the whole thing generally went down hill in terms of enjoyment. Still the best stag do I’ve ever been on though.

[7om]

I was desperate for food once so went to Hooters in Manhattan. It was absolutely horrendous like Alex described. The weird vibe is one thing but you’d forgive it if the food was decent. It wasn’t. It was shit.

[Shindig]

Hang on. It's Manhattan. Were the countless food trucks not an option?

[Manc]

You really are a pedantic cunt.

[Shindig]

Guilty as charged.

[7om]

Hang on. It's Manhattan. Were the countless food trucks not an option?

I think it was on my first visit there and I think I was lost. Honest.

[Shindig]

That's fair. I fucked up by picking up a bar of Hershey's from the Intrepid gift store because I was hungry. I'll do better next time probably.

I'm amazed Hooters made it over here. Although that had money to fund an airline so they must've been doing something right.

[7om]

Hershey’s white chocolate is not bad at all. The milk chocolate tastes of puke.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Their milk chocolate really is rancid.

[Shindig]

Yeah, they didn't have any white chocolate. :moop:

[Foe]

Hershey’s white chocolate is not bad at all. The milk chocolate tastes of puke.

The cookies and cream one is absolutely incredible.

[Lofty]

The worst stag activities are ones that prohibit drinking, like axe throwing, archery, shooting etc.

I went to Hooters in San Diego and it was shit, though my cheap idiot mate who lives over there now ordered unlimited wings then got the hump when they cut him off for sharing. We also ended up in the Hooters casino in Vegas, which was shit. At no point in either did I see a waitress with a bigger rack than mine.

[Lewis]

There was a fox outside just now, so I lobbed it a few custard creams and it seemed to enjoy them.

[7om]

:cool:

[Shindig]

I've never seen an urban fox. It must be magical. Living here's been a bit shit for wildlife. It's about but the A690 tends to mean you only see them as roadkill.

[Dquincy]

Love a Hooters. You virgins don't know what you're missing.

[Pepe]

White chocolate. :harold:

[Lewis]

White chocolate. :cool:

[Queenslander]

A bloke from Toowoomba once told me he gets $120 from the State Government for every fox pelt.

True story.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lewis should have skinned the fucker then.

[Kikó]

I do love foxes, they're often roaming about at night near the flat. It's annoying when they make that whining sex noise.

Hershey's is awful, why is it popular? White chocolate is for women. Get dark chocolate with sea salt and win.

[Spikey M]

Lol at any "man" liking white chocolate.

[Manc]

Dark chocolate is the one.

[Ian]

White chocolate is clearly the worst of the bunch (and any Hershey's I've ever had are a bit crap) but stick a bag of white mice in front of me and I'll still smash 'em.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Americans cannot do the three Cs:

- Chocolate
- Cheese
- Coffee

Where they win is in the three Bs:

- Beef
- (craft) Beer
- Barbecue

[Ian]

I'll just let you imagine I've done a big tedious Beer Bore post about whether Americans 'win' at craft beer and that this is you already having scrolled past it.

I don't know if I've ever had proper American cheese but a quesadilla recipe from that Babish fella popped up my Youtube recommendations and he was talking about using Monterey Jack because it ends up with a mozzarella-esque stretchiness once it's melted. But if that's the selling point there surely you'd just mozzarella? Though I suppose that's pricier and if you're bunging it in with actual cheddar as he did maybe it makes less of a difference.

[niko_cee]

I'm sure decent American cheese exists, you just have to go there to find it as it has been essentially banned from Europe forever by trade tariffs.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If it does, they do a tremendous job of hiding it whilst smothering everything in the unholy trinity of 'Jack', 'American cheese' and 'Swiss cheese'.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, their basic mass cheese is shit (and 'cheesefood' is unforgivable) but then so is their basic mass beer.

[Ian]

"Cheesefood"?

Is that just some sort of 'genuine cheese-like substance' horror?

[Dquincy]

American cheese is shit. Mozza is the way to go. Burrata even more so.

[7om]

Can Team Food Snob calm down please? 'American' cheese on a six inch meatbull sub is a very decent lunch option.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Meatbull? Tell me more.

[niko_cee]

Never been a big fan of Burrata, the cream is a major disappointment.

I don't really know what the technical definitions are, but I always thought cheesefood was that mad shit they have like spray cheese, which may or may not have ever contained or encountered actual dairy products.

[7om]

Spray on cheese sounds like the most American thing ever :D

[Ian]

I feel like we're veering towards the sort of territory where it's time for me to post that picture of the canned turkey again. :nodd:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I've just googled spray cheese and found a video of a woman doing an eating challenge of 12 pounds of the stuff. I'd link you but the police might get me.

[Don]

Burrata is big boy tings. Drop one on a plate alongside tomatoes and drizzle in oil and basil.

[Raoul Duke]

I remember them having melted (fake plastic) cheese as a dipping option at some shit airport place I went to in Chicago. Hideous.

The Dutch cheese situation is abysmal here too. I have to go to the local Expat shop to stock up on decent cheddar, but even that is a nightmare because Brexit has fucked the Cathedral City import business (sunlit uplands, my arse).

[7om]

No one has mentioned Velveeta.

It's a huge block of processed cheese which has to be described as a cheese product.

Alright, it's definitely canned turkey time.

Why would you do that to yourself.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Canned burger, anyone?

[7om]

The hamburger looks possible. But that chicken... I’m pretty sure I’d vomit instantly.

[Spikey M]

Someone brought a can of those burgers in to work (for a joke) for the Christmas Raffle once. They come in fucking gravy. Absolutely honking.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The one I posted is one of the "better" ones, there are a wide variety and yeah, the gravy ones look horrendous.

[Kikó]

Holy shit.

[Spikey M]

I think that's the exact brand he brought in.

Who is the fucking market for those? I've seen some atrocities in my time but that's next level. Even Samadini is thinking twice.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Campers, apparently.

Although there are so many better options.

I guess Doomsday preppers too but I'd rather just die along with the World.

[7om]

That shit should be behind a NSFW spoiler. Good god.

Are you putting canned burgers in the same league as Rustlers burgers? Or is the latter more acceptable?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Too much lassi at lunchtime and now I've looked at those photos, I think the office is about to have a nausea episode on its hands.

[Spikey M]

Are you putting canned burgers in the same league as Rustlers burgers? Or is the latter more acceptable?

Rustlers is basically BurgerKing compared to that shit.

And I don't say that just because of the quality difference, but because I have witnessed BurgerKing microwaving their burgers too.

[Don]

Add some pomegranate and I'll be there.

Intriguing. I won't be able to comment personally on the results but I'll relay the feedback from the missus.

Bought some Bacon from the Butcher yesterday and forgot to put it in the fridge. It smells fine, will I die if I eat it?

Sealed package and the room was probably a little lower than regular room temperature.

[niko_cee]

You'll be fine [/5daycurry]

[Dquincy]

It'll be fine, but wouldn’t fridge it now. This is as good excuse as any to consume the whole pack in one sitting.

[Disco]

Of course it'll be fine, bacon is cured after all.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why wouldn't you put it in the fridge now?

I put it straight in there as I'm having it tomorrow.

Also I got it from the butcher so bought the amount I want/need for a single sitting.

I'd lob it if it was some cheap supermarket shit but the butcher will have cured it fully.

[Dquincy]

Just thought there was a 2 hour rule for room temperature uncooked meat.

You'll probably fine.

[Spikey M]

It's only Mahow anyway.

[Disco]

Yeah there's no reason not to fridge it now and it's probably sat in similar conditions for a good while before it gets to you. Plus unless it's crawling there's not much that cooking it properly isn't going to kill.

[Dquincy]

He's in hospital now.

[Shindig]

I've watched the Coronation Street tram crash for the first time. Tramasuarus Rex. :D


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMZkwUgUAHI

I love it when soaps decide to just piss their shit budget on dumb shit.

[Lewis]

John Stape (seven seconds in) was one of the great soap nonces.

[Shindig]

The Jaws zoom is one of my favourite touches. That and when Tramasauras growls and attempts to devour a woman and child. I feel like putting a list together of the great British soap 'fuck its'. The Lockerbie crash, that time the Woolpack exploded from a single bolt of lightning, everything involving Gail Platt's demon family, that time Ian Beale had an evil goth kid that shot his wife in the womb, all the bangers.

[Lewis]

The Emmerdale helicopter crash was a good one, and it set Eric Pollard on a four month heel run.

[Shindig]

That's Casualty levels of convenience there. That propane tank really wanted that to happen.

[Lofty]

Honourable mention for Gabriel Kent in The Bill trying to off June Ackland with a sniper rifle.

[Disco]

Why does the train roar like a dinosaur at the end?

[7om]

The best soap character in my time was Richard Hillman on Corrie. I actually laughed out loud when he smacked one old woman in the back of the head. If only he’d finished off Gail ‘where’s my chin gone’ Platt as well.

[Shindig]

Yeah, when he killed Ashley's wife, it was the most slapstick thing imaginable. A 50 year-old man dressed like phonics trying to chase a woman around her own couch. Magical.


Why does the train roar like a dinosaur at the end?

Make no mistake, Billy. If public transport had the chance, it would kill you and everyone you care about.

[Lewis]

Pat Phelan was the best soap villain because they gave him superpowers/turned everyone around him into an idiot.

Did a load of coke tonight after managing to avoid it for a couple of years. It is truly the worst shit ever.

[SincereTheRebel]

I attended a wedding on Saturday which ive just rolled back into my house from. I also have another wedding today which starts in four hours.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I was in Bournemouth over the weekend and a few of us went on a 'night out' (I haven't done one of these in years, but surprisingly found myself more adept than before). When we left the first place at about 1, we were unexpectedly joined by the no spray no lay chap, who wanted to spend some of his earnings straight away, and claimed that 'tagging along with five white boys' would increase his chances of getting in somewhere. He then referred to us all by articles of clothing for the rest of the night, so I had the unfortunate Peep Show-esque moniker of 'blue shirt'.

Anyway, at a certain point later on I went to the toilet in the next place to find our new pal washing his hands, and himself being no spray no lay-ed by a scraggier looking guy in there. Truly this was an inception moment.

[phonics]

Jim, we’ve had our differences but this post gave me so much joy. Thank you.

Just be glad you weren’t wearing brown I guess?

[Kikó]

I did think blue shirt was going to tell us that he had been on the marching powder but that is a much more wholesome story.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There are plenty of other websites where you can find that sort of thing, or so I am assured.

[Lofty]

Jim :D what did he do with his aftershave supply? What were the other nickname, out of interest?

[Giggles]

[Lewis]

It might be time for a State of the Board thread. Air a few grievances.

[randomlegend]

I can post some more football opinions to get things going if you like

[Lewis]

At least they're your opinions.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I live beside the town's train station and the house was originally built in 1850-1860 for station workers. As such it's not a proper street and there is no vehicle access to anyone's door.

The other day when walking out of the house towards the street some woman came into our "street" by way of the communal gate. She instantly asked me "Have you seen my cat", offering no description of the cat or any other details. I replied no and she walked back out.

What's stranger is that I remember a few months ago she came into our front garden and was poking around looking into the back garden (no fence yet, we just have a spare fence panel which we slide as we don't use it atm). When I went downstairs and saw her she told me that she's lost her dog and she's sure it escaped into our back garden. I told her there was no chance (it would have had to climb/jump a 6ft panel without it moving) and she told me to look from my window into the station grounds, I can't, and she told me to "call her" if I found it.

Is she scoping out the house/neighbours house to rob us one day, is she a mentalist, does she want to try and access a part of the station from these houses?

[Spikey M]

Sleep with one eye open.

[Lewis]

Ask her out.
