I have watched a few Town games at The Jubilee near the station. It's very much a Norwich supporters pub but pretty chilled out. If you ask and it's on Sky they might put a game on. Regulars will take the piss and support the opposing team of course but as long as you don't get too rowdy or wear a shirt you'd be fine.
Jack his co-presenter doesn't look too comfortable does he? To be fair he seems a lot more level-headed and reasonable.
I don't get the whole "X place is a sh!thole" obsession with football supporters in general either. Yes Ipswich has some rough bits but it's hardly Jaywick is it? I live in Norwich and whilst it's a nice place overall Prince of Wales Road is rough as hell and parts of Mile Cross, Larkman and Heartsease are as rough as anything you'll find in Ipswich.
'Craft beer' or whatever you want to call it used to be decent. Now it seems to have turned largely into alcopop.
Tiny Rebel are a good example. They used to brew some decent beer, now it's all flavoured crap bar the odd one like Hadouken.
I prefer decent continental pilsners or wheat beers these days as they have more body to them than the flavoured or over diluted crap most craft breweries churn out. Ale has also remained decent if kept well, a nice bitter or strong ale is a thing of beauty.
I occasionally find a decent IPA and I'll say bottle condition Proper Job is still cracking. Most of the time it's just the same hazy, bland nonsense over and over again though (so not even fitting in the real IPA style either).
The recruiter is mortified, I said to him please don't feel bad as it's outside of his control. The email I received from the organisation is also very apologetic, it sounds like it has come from higher up and further redundancies are planned in the organisation.
It all feels a bit rough at the moment. I'm in software but I know a few fellow people in the industry who have been laid off and are struggling.
I got made redundant at the end of June, I've had quite a lot of interest thankfully and I got a job offer mid-July after several interviews (so I haven't really been looking since then).
Today I got a call saying the position had been axed due to budget cuts (it's a local authority role). I went through a two stage interview, full HR process and then the plug is pulled. I'm furious as I haven't been active for the last couple of weeks bar one role I kept on the back burner just in case. Has this happened to anyone on here before? I'm glad I at least kept the other role as a backup. It could potentially be for more money too so hopefully it's a blessing in disguise (doesn't feel like it at the moment though).
My cousin who is half-Brit half-American and lives in a state Trump won heavily is furious (he's not the only one); so you've already got roughly half the population like him mightily pissed off. When the penny drops with MAGA supporters as they get poorer and finally run out of other people to blame I think things could get really ugly over there. So many of the population own guns (I believe it's half the households have some sort of firearm in them) and there now seems to be a push by anti-MAGA people to arm themselves. I think it could end up more like the film Civil War (about a third-term President clinging onto power).
I remember this as it was my first Town game in a while after Uni. It was bloody freezing and from memory Sonko landed heavily on the frozen pitch almost injuring himself then they decided to call it off soon after that? Everyone was very p!ssed off but it really shouldn't have gone ahead at all. The pitch was clearly solid around the goal mouth.
I live in Naaarwich and a good example of this sort of thing is people who have bought houses near the riverside and in the centre moan about noise. There are no end of complaints about The Waterfront (even though it's been there for decades) and the beer festival can no longer have live music because of people getting pissy about some noise for all of an hour for a few days in a year. It really grinds my gears. What the feck is wrong with these people?
Another one I've thought of which confuses my wife, pronuciation of the word "fella" which sounds more light "fullah" in Suffolk, has anyone noticed that?
In conversation sounds like "Are you alroight fullah?"
My favourite from family is my Nan, she greets us by saying "Are you alright there together?" My wife wondered what she was talking about first time they met and she's only from Norwich.
Apart from some already mentioned I really like "cor-teh-hike" (I'm not sure if that's written down correctly, but my Grandad used to use it a lot to express surprise, usually when something was too expensive!) Me and my wife both use rum or rummen a lot, so that might be East Anglian rather than just Suffolk.
I didn't even realise this was a Suffolk thing until the other day, I've used it all my life. People not from here must wonder what on earth I'm talking about.
I only went for the day on Friday but would have watched them had I been there (grime seems to have been as close to punk as we've had for a while, so to fuse the two genres really works I think). Didn't know that frontman Bobby was a Town fan!
