He does things at his pace and when we win he looks like a quality player , but when we have to scrap he looks like the wrong choice
To be honest he looks like the City player that Pep always thought he would be and would suit them perfectly , if they make us a big offer and we can replace him with 2 or 3 Rogers type signings for his position I wouldn’t be against cashing in
but I’d rather keep him

I’d expected a response from Chelsea so thought we’d get nothing tonight , so on 1 hand it’s a point gained
but from 2-0 , it does go down as 2 points dropped , still a result away for seeing off Spurs I think
think the players had too many eyes on Thursday today , lot of pulled out tackles , Tim seemed to be the only one prepared to put his foot in
ollie needs that 20th goal and then I think he will relax a bit
my Chelsea mates going mad on WhatsApp, if they can’t see that nudge on Carlos as being anything but a foul then football isn’t the sport for them , I wasn’t remotely concerned when it when in as it was obviously going to be chalked off

Alas vanity and me not taking my glasses with me when I go out
not had any alcohol at all this year so far , the health problems kinda turned me off it , I seem to be 100% now so I’ll probably have a beer soon , hopefully in Athens around the 28th May

We have one generic group called old clearings in the woods for sharing jokes , boobies and stuff but I like to be organised so every specific event gets its own thread , so if arranging a gig , add the people we think might be interested , then remove the ones that say no , delete group few days after gig has ended so you don’t end up with 608 of them.

We got commissioned to do a project for Nestle a few years back and we had to test about 30 or 40 different variations of new Kit Kat flavours …we had hundreds of bars left over so I used to give them to friends , this was the one that most of them came back to me to ask if I had anymore of , all be it they only knew it as K483 …
weird thing is the project was with a view to Kit Kat launching a dairy milk type sized large bar and the survey’s were to see what flavours were popular, to my knowledge I don’t think they have released such a bar , but they have launched loads of the flavours we tested

I could probably quote every episode of Blackadder verbatim so I guess I’d have to say that was the best
but others worthy of mention , indeed already have been mentioned
Thick of it
Alan Partridge
Porridge
Father Ted
what we do in the shadows
The IT crowd
Inbeweeners - for the boring thread but ,my house could have been one of the filming locations had I replied to the leaflet delivered asking us if we were interested in allowing our house to be used for a TV show called Baggy Trousers ( original name for the inbetweeners )
and of course Bottom - the slapstick comedy in bottom makes it timeless where as The Young ones which 13 year old me loved , 53 year old me watches it on U.K. gold and occasional gem of a line apart struggles to raise a snigger
I know generally American comedy isn’t great but I do have a soft spot for Malcom in the middle , it’s just so well written and the characters are great

Also seems the streets of Surrey are wrong
Sky this morning saying he won’t be resigning

Yousaf resigning in the morning is the word on the street

one of my mates is bald and wears a hat of some description when we go out drinking , not a vanity thing , more a keeping warm thing between pubs
the same mate loses his hat every time we go out drinking ... I'm amazed he survives the night still wearing trousers tbh , its not like you can't feel something like that missing from your head and think ,oh hang on
of course it becomes a great source of amusement , every time he puts it down on a table someone hides it or we will give it to some friendly types on the next table and get one of them to wear it and see if he notices
he must spend a fortune on them

Should Villa try and win the league? What happens if you fall a bit short of your target and it takes a bit more time. You’re still closer to your ultimate aim.
to use your Villa analogy , have a look at the outcome ( and the merriment) around the "5 year plan" .. we got further from the ultimate aim
We all want to go green and reduce carbon impacts but , ultimately people don't want to pay the price ... hey look this item made in worlds number one polluter China is cheaper than this one made by free range unicorns in England , think I'll buy the Chinese one .. hey look I can get the train to Manchester for £300 return or I can fly for £65 return .. if countries / governments are serious they can do actual stuff , not just spout out soundbites
as i say , we don't have to give up , and to my knowledge the SNP haven't given up , they've just moved the time frame to one that was more realistic

The target is only bollocks if you do **** all to make it happen.
it was blatantly unrealistic
I'm not advocating countries just give up , just set realistic expectations

Can you explain to me what's happening here?
I know zero about Scottish politics but to row back on net zero agreements when you're in a coalition with The Greens seems insane.
not as insane as going into a coalition with the Greens
I think like the rest of the world they've realised the target was frankly bollocks and they need more time .. at least the rest of the world did it without blaming England though

I’ve quite enjoyed being able to cross the road as a pedestrian these last few months.
Nobody rides a bike in your town then ?

BBC vox pops.
I’m obviously sensitive to this 20mph thing at the moment, and there was a vox pop section on the local news yesterday, the usual old biddies in Pontypandy being given equal billing to legislation experts and crash injury statistics.
but my stand out favourite was the woman who was very against 20mph. Her reason?
”if you are driving at 20 and someone behind is going faster than you, they could ram in to you”
Personally I don’t think it’s as good as my old argument that if you were doing 40 mph you’d be further up the road when the child runs out / cyclists ignores a give way and rides straight through it , thus you wouldn’t hit them … but i think you’ve just encountered my soul mate

But they do a cracking sausage roll.
and Morrisons are the only supermarket that sell pork knuckles , the finest food on the planet , unless you are one of those weird ones that would rather munch on something made of pea protein and pretending to be a pig
shame they've doubled the price of them over the last year or so , but hey ho , you can't really put a price on slow enjoyable death by crackling

it's actually astonishing how much stuff across supermarkets is quite literally exactly the same product
sadly with the nature of a lot of my work , I can actually read the product code data on the back and tell which factory and production line number it came from
you'd think people at parties would be amazed and spellbound by such a feat , but when I'm at parties and people ask me what I do for a living ,for some unfathomable reason everyone picks that moment to be the perfect time to take up smoking and go outside in the pouring rain

It was always a similar thing with cars wasn’t it? Skoda always out performed Mercedes on the old JD Power surveys.
But it was often the case that a Merc with a squeak went straight back to the garage, whereas a Skoda driver would just turn the radio up, cos its a Skoda.
tbh I'm not familiar with JD power surveys , but I thought the original Skoda were terrible and the source of jokes ..how do you double the value of your Skoda , put petrol in it etc
the Octavia then started to win a few awards and the quality was undoubtable better , but its surprising to learn it was outperforming a marque brand

Sadly we can’t play Arsenal every week and We struggle against a certain style of play , look how Chelsea fought for every ball whilst our players tried to dribble their way out of trouble , a stronger ref would probably have given us a load more fouls today but when the ref will only give fouls that involve using a machete teams with a certain style of play seem to know how to counter us
He needs a dark arts player in that midfield for next season to go with the slick passing midfield he’s building
