Saturday was red, Monday was orange (sorry, New Order). This association was pretty much solely due to what colours the radio times used on their tv listings. One thing I’ve done for years is associate odd numbers as being feminine and even numbers being masculine. I’ve looked into this before and it seems other people do similar, but they disagree with me and have odd numbers as masculine, and even numbers as feminine. That’s crazy thinking. I cannot have the volume in the car on a odd number, apart from increatments of 5. Like 15, 25 is okay. Anyone in the car chages it yo a odd number, I have to immediately change it to a even. Luckily for me, numbers for volume is not so common these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can agree about 15. I don't like 14 though, so the increment from 12 is 16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Anyway, I came on to post, How fast would Usain Bolt have been if he didn't showboat or let off early. He used to do it iin every race. I've never seen a race where he even don't have a slow start or backs off at 80 metres. His 9.58 was a absolute phenomenon, ill be shocked of that ever gets beaten in our lifetime. It would have to be with a wind or at a high altitude venue like Mexico was in 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like 14 because it’s next to 13 but 12 is okay cos my birthday is 12/12. Like @foreveryoung I can do 5s though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah the 9.58 he didn’t showboat. Or his 200m record. He went for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt he had a little more in him over that last 3/4 to 1s. Before the dip he seemed to slow a little. He is taking it seriously and there isn't any showboating on the 9.58 run but he seems, fractionally to slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt that record and the 200m one he was really going for it. That was the only times he cared about the records so it was him flat out. I agree pretty much every other time he had some left in him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insisted I change the volume of the radio, didn't care if it was up one or down one, just had to be an even number I pointed out that it wasn't very rock and roll as it couldn't go to 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielesibub Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 How many Villa fans live near me? (140 miles from Villa Park) Just been out for dinner at Yaprak Locks Heath and the one and only football top I see is a Villa away top, Up the Villa! Granted Villa have just "played" and they played in Bournemouth (40 miles-ish away). But this happens quite often and I still find it amusing that Villa fans seem to be everywhere. What's the chances? or is this more akin to something like the Birthday paradox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I met two Villa fans in my gym earlier this summer. Young lads, too. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I live in a small-ish suburban village south of Oslo, and I know for a fact there are at least six Villa fans here. Mind you, there are probably at least 2000 Liverpool and 1500 Man United, but still 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's 4 and I'm thinking of taking him over Christmas. Obviously not in the Holte, but still. Took mine when she was nearly 3. She had face paint and we filmed some videos of her shouting come on villa in the crowd which was cute. So nice memories filmed but apart from that it was pointless really, we had to give her the phone to keep her entertained all game. Then again it was Villa v Ipswich under Steve Bruce so not sure anybody was really entertained. She’s 7 now and I’m taking her to second game against West Ham but we’re going to go early to see the players arrive. Anyway in answer to your question I’d go by how interested they are in football at the moment. Start taken them if and when they start watching games on tv with you and they know some players. Otherwise they’ll just be bored. Edited August 11, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Oh he's definitely interested. He's stayed up with me and watched the games on TV. Told the teacher all about the next day, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
