I'm shattered, to be honest. I had a longer day than expected.
Taking care of it.![]()
Doing the board a service.
Played a tennis match in 27C or whatever it was. Hard work. Your body tells you 'nah, you don't really want to move, mate'.
Pros playing a 4/5 hour match in the mid-30s, and not having their level dip, is so impressive.
Managed to get a little bit of sunburn out today. Top weather.
Yeah, my nose is the full Ferguson.
Bought some crappy Ł3 water guns, got the paddling pool out and had a water fight with my 8 year old nephew for most of the afternoon. Looking a bit pink now but it was actually decent fun and a way to stay cool.
It's my birthday today.
You've been refreshing the forum hoping for a thread all day, haven't you?
Don't be so fucking stupid you cunt.
Yes.
Took my gran and grandad out for dinner today. Told them they could pick wherever they wanted and they predictably settled on a pseudo Brewers Fayre place run by Marston's. When the change came back on that little dish my grandad tried to give the waitress a fifty pence tip on a fifty three quid bill. 'There you go hen, that's for you.' I swear if I had been a second slower he'd have told her to get herself something from the ice cream van.
Happy birthday.
I was working yesterday so it was a write-off but managed to get plenty done today - hypnobirthing class, went my mum and dads for a barbecue, came home and cut the grass and just watched Wayne's World 2. Ace!
Can't believe I'm back to work tomorrow though. At least I've a stag do in Chester next Saturday to look forward to. Unfortunately I've got a hungover walk round IKEA pencilled in for the Sunday though.
I'm a twit
Wait, Baz is expecting?
This weekend is the annual Y6 holiday to PGL at work. I go every year on the agreement I can have a go on the activities and we can have a drink or two in the evening once the kids are in bed.
Cross your fingers for dry weather please.
I just called a bloke I didn't know is gay a raging poofter. Now everyone is behaving like poofters. fark!
My brother decided to have a bbq for the Broncos game. Couple of randoms showed their faces which lead to all sorts of awesome bants but before I know It one bloke decided to go off on a Pauline Hanson rant. One thing lead to another and I called Him a poofter because he's a Uni student and was carrying on like a poofter. Cue silence and they are carrying on like I dropped a hard N
Lol. What a faguette.
Tonight i'm either going to see that Baby Driver movie or gonna watch the Orlando City game on ESPN. Tomorrow is a day packed full of football.... our girl's team the Orlando Pride is playing and it's Alex Morgan's first game back.
Watching Alex Morgan and Marta together should be a treat as far as women's football goesThen apparently our B team is playing in a double header of sorts so I might just hang out at the stadium all night and get drunk as shit.

Given that Tuesday is our Independence Day my work was kind enough to give me Monday off as well so I have a bit of a 4 day weekend coming up that I'm beyond excited for.![]()

I ought to go to the beach or something but I'll probably end up sat at home in my comfy clothes doing fuck all.
Oh God, I'd forgotten about Independence Day. FREEDOM. MURICA. BALD EAGLES.
I'm gonna get a bit sloshed tomorrow.
I'm going horse racing
I'd rather punch myself in the testicles until the 4th of July.
.
I mean a lot of times they'll have little celebrations here and there. Some cities do parades and things like that.
It all depends where you go. I'd imagine bigger cities have bigger events (obviously).
Also, a very happy 4th birthday to the little one![]()
If you do decide to come over by all means hit me up and I'd be glad to try and help sort out events and things for you.
I'd rather slit my own throat than try and get into DC on 4th of July. I don't care what festivities they're putting on, I'm not even attempting it.
Tickets for Sunday for here, after its reopening Saturday. Be interesting to see it, the old place was a facility-less shit hole, and it should be packed to the tits.

tonight we have our big "derby" match. i put quotations because the MLS is basically forcing it onto us.
Atlanta United's front office bought a billboard:
Right in downtown Orlando.
That night someone from one of the supporter groups got up there, tagged it "FUCK ATL" and it was taken down by the next day:
Tonight's atmosphere should be pretty lit![]()
Orlando to Atlanta isn't as much of of a stretch as I'd thought.
I'm sure the hot dog sellers of Peachtree Street speak of little else.
I mean it's annoying in the sense that they're honestly not that close and we have no real rivalry with them but the League keeps forcing it down our throat at every opportunity.
Then some Atlanta people on twitter made some "This'll be Pulse Part 2!" (the shooting at the gay club) so that got people all pissed off.
They're supposedly bringing a few busloads of folks so it'll be pretty intense I'm sure.
Next weekend I'm getting on a bus to go back up there (we play back to back for some stupid ass reason) so it's pretty exciting. Never done a proper away game before so it'll be good.
How are you supposed to maintain a rivalry over about five hundred miles? Our 'rivalry' with Aberdeen is only sustained through their fans singing songs about a stadium collapse and one of their players putting one of our most loved ones out of the game for three years, and that's over a third of the distance.
Oh trust me it's beyond stupid. We're still waiting for Miami to get their MLS team in order cause at least that's just down the road and in the same state.
Atlanta and Orlando have no kinda rivalry in any sport whatsoever. That's why their forced attempts at rivalry are so annoying....
Atlanta fans keep telling us we're not apart of the "The South!" because when we first got "promoted" to MLS the
League started promoting us as the "Soccer Capital of the South" since we were the only team in the Southeast.
But the way they mean it is that we weren't apart of the old confederate States so we're not really "Southern".
It's so fucking corny man.
Once they start bringing the Confederate flag to the stadium it'll be a real derby
