It's hard for me to believe, but surely people really grow up wanting to be a pole vault athlete. Im watching athletics now and its bonkers sports.
I had two pints and then a large mixed pakora on the way home on Saturday night. 36 hours later and my insides are still not happy about it.
did my familial duties and went to see my nan and my dad this weekend before i fuck off tomorrow morning. still doesn't really feel like i'm leaving, and i doubt it will until i have to actually go to work at my new place on wednesday.
Just had an excellent but exhausting weekend. Norwich - Rugby Thursday night, via a few drinks with my Norwich pal at the pub, and 3 very misguided cans of Adnams ghost ship on the train, and a 10pm jamaican takeaway from my favourite place in rugby.
Unfortunately a combination of the booze and maybe the food gave me the absolute worst gutrot hangover on Friday. Got the train to london to see the mountain goats who were amazing, but it took me about 8 pints to displace the hangover and I went for about 15 shits in various london pubs that evening.
Then Brighton Saturday, saw James acaster who was fucking brilliant, then the equally brilliant spellbound club night at komedia. Me and my mates also got an 18 inch pizza and cheesy curly fries, two things I've never seen on a menu. Currently reading a book about chess and praying for my liver and anus.
You are living the life
Going to spend this coming weekend offshore because I’m worried I’ve taken more annual leave than I should have this year.
I thought he meant actual mountain goats. I would travel to see that, goats are ace.
You can feel the voice change at 'and 3 very misguided cans of Adnams ghost ship on the train'.
What’s “my Norwich pal” about? Is there a single designated one in locations around the country?
Goats are one of the worst animals going.
I'm a twit
Tasty if cooked right.
Baz being outrageously wrong yet again.
5 live GAA games tomorrow including two finals, the F1, the Masters final round, Ireland vs Wales, Shelbourne in their promotion/relegation playoff, and whatever NFL is on. I’m not even getting dressed tomorrow
Went for a walk along the Coast/Marsh Lands for the first time in years today. Beats Southend fucking Seafront fairly easily (as would wading through sewage).
That’s just reminded me that I haven’t been anywhere at all since February. Not that I probably would just go for a random walk but I’d have probably been in a hotel on the coast or something.
I went to the Van Gogh museum earlier and then watched Hamilton this evening. Man, I wish I'd got tickets to see it live.
Tomorrow my mission is to buy a Xmas tree (and do some tax paperwork )
Went over to my parents for the first time since the summer to clear some stuff out. One more visit should get all of my gear out of there. It was nice to see another couple of towns for the first time in ages. They've finished doing that fancy bridge/stream bollocks in Chester-le-Street. The EU paid for that. Suckers.
Does feel quite nice to be able to bump this particular thread, but you'll have to wait for the usual triumvirate of weekend zaniness (the three Bs - BEER, BUMLICKING AND BANTER).
Matey has organised his usual yearly Eurovision party, but him and his missus have also invited both sets of their parents. And they're keen to be fairly "responsible" re: the rules, so it's gonna be watching eurovision on two tellies outside, under some sort of gazebo. It's already an absolutely not from me, but I now see that he's insisting on everyone getting covid tests before coming round, including a couple our age who are fully vaccinated. Fuck that. There's only one thing that someone could stick up my nose that would make me more likely to go and drink lukewarm cans of carling and make awkward conversation with my mate's weird in-laws, and it isn't a covid test nose swab!!!!!!! lolllll
Come watch it with me Igor. I'll make it fun by not actually putting the Eurovision on the telly.
The three Bs - BEARDS, BACON, AND BILL FUCKIN' MURRAY
iners, rive-Ins and ives
Big Black Bock.
balis' bad banter bettered by Betts. :bvictory:
bro i swear to god i'll phone vince russo again. bro.
'Is this your deal, balis? That's why this forum's in the damn shape it's in, because of bullshit like this.'
I knew we had a finger poke of doom somewhere.
Gardeners' World on a Friday night
Became a father last night.
Well done to the anchor baby.
Unless it's a cat then not well done really.
I also got my green card earlier this year (or was it late last year?)
Congratulations. I eagerly anticipate what disaster will unfold in the lab due to sleep deprivation.
I think my friend has been living/working there illegally for the best part of four years now. Other than the fact he can't leave the country, and doesn't dare risk going out of California in case he gets deported for drinking in the street, they don't seem to have put much effort into kicking him out.
Since goals opened. Ive been tracking the wins and losses of the six a side and two man were 14-0 before tonight. The streak was ended and i was awarded the motm
As if marrying a French bird wasn't bad enough, he's added to their numbers.
Pepe will do anything to get a Streets of Rage 4 partner.
(Congratulation, Pepe. )
I hope you call it Pepito.
Thanks everyone.
It’s a girl, but Cuauhtemoc was definitely suggested in case we had a boy. My wife was not a big fan, and that was without me even mentioning the inspiration.
