I was thinking about Fosters the other day, and also Carling Black Label. It feels like one of these tings we all make fun of in public, yet in private - we have a fond memory of the stuff. Whilst taking 30 fosters on a camping trip, getting blind drunk and scaring the wife and kids might be somewhat whimsical, I am thinking about those times when we had just turned 18. Walk into Sainsburys, driving license at our hip, pick up a bumper case of the amber nectar, pay, walk out feeling like Berty big boIIocks.
So, with that in mind... do you have a dirty secret of a fond memories of the amber nectar (or Carling BL) you need to get out? Let's come together and celebrate the most "tastes like piss water" themed memories together.
Came in under a manager who had no clue what the championship was like. Went on have a couple of managers who shipped him out on loan.
What did he do? Complain about the club on social media? Gave up on the pitch? Go AWOL with his toys out the pram? Either one of those things wouldn't seem abnormal in the modern game, but no -
He came back, took his chance when needed, really dug in to help us in the first promotion and was more than useful when called upon for the second. Meanwhile becoming one of the most loved and respected players in the dressing room.
I know sentiment doesn't win games in Football, but it was a nice daydreaming thought that both he and Jackson might land a cameo in the premier league, though sensibly, it wasn't to be.
Janoi may never be called a legend and he wont ever have a statue with us, but one thing he will have is unconditional respect from many of us is fans. He stayed and helped ITFC reach the top as a professional, while those who said he wasn't good enough are either in the lower leagues or sitting on their ass as an undesirable manager. He was with us during our worst, dug in, and helped restore us to our best.
Janoi may not have been the best, but he has by far earned his spot along side the most honourable and professional players in town's history. I hope he loves his time at Chesterfield, and even though his time was rightfully over at town - his departure certainly hit different.
I think many would agree that VAR would have chalked off Taylors goal today, but elsewhere there were a lot of talking points about VAR. Arsenal vs Man U is going to be worth watching back by the sounds of it as a number of people seemed to actually be lamenting the lack of VAR.
Personally, I like VAR as a concept but the way it gets utilised leaves me baffled quite often. That said, certainly didn't miss it today at PR.
As the 2024 Election (USA) enters it's crescendo, I think It is time to open my mind a little for the challenger to the Democrats.
As a kid I used to love Trump, the cards and the act of making a strategically timed brown note to delight friends, family and teachers alike.
Sadly, Everybody's Hobbies is no longer with us, so I have no time to source Trump cards tonight, but I can still cook. I was curious, what food really gets your rocket's brown glare as you perform the parp spattered banner with Sir Armitage Shanks?
Beans are an obvious one, but rather interestingly - if I eat bananas I end up with a serious case of the windy pops, and acid indigestion to boot! Maybe some Banoffee pie is in order for tonight great british trump off.
Someone who entertained with her voice overs of politicians during the covid years. She was always laughing and smiling on camera when she appeared - sadly, cancer came out the victor.
Some of us probably recognise her for the stunt she called "Trump Cards", when in 2018 she welcomed Trump to his theme park in Scotland.
I come across this song today from a good Dutch band called De Staat. A very cynical set of lyrics but produced in a really artful and catch way.
Needless to say, I was impressed that they used AI, and it's flaws (especially it's flaws) to produce a really cool video to their latest song. They shot material themself and used stock footage then post produced in in an AI suit.
The other video is 'the making of' which has some interesting points of view that I wouldn't have expected someone in the industry to convey
There is a lot of divisionism in social media and a LOT of learning needs to happen to improve a lot of anxieties that exist in the world. TWTD forums has kind of gone the same way as mass social media where a lot of opinions are presented as fact, with links to sources (often spurious) just to back them up.
Make no mistake, the world isn't hurting because of a lefty woke agenda and the conservative view isn't the return of the Nazi's, but its because we've fallen into the fox hole of populism and tribal thinking. UK's strength was always in it's ability to be objective and suspicious of the narrative until it was beyond a doubt.
Yet in the last decade, we're quite happy to attack anything that isn't in line with our own point of view, and this often mean people who are in our communities. Is there a point when we can go back to respecting that we're all town fans, and the divisive topics are more about asking questions than stating made up facts?
Don't get me wrong, in my younger years on this forum, I've had instances of being a knob which I am more than happy to admit to, but there is being a nob and then there is being cruel to people - the latter is something that happens on social media and on here.
I already know a subset of users say "Be Kind" in parody, but that isn't what I'm trying to say. Be objective and question BS, don't peddle BS as a weapon - it just makes this place crap at times.
I suppose I shouldn't be TOO surprised that a fruit ripens but I saw an article on the Beeb that talks about how to store cucumbers. It says to leave it out of the fridge until it ripens. What on earth is the difference between a ripe and unripe cucumber?
Have I been eating unripe cucumbers my whole life?
I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, so I went to the lady's family for dinner. The Dad decided to cook, but instead of roasties he made steak cut oven fries... is there a number I can call or something, as I am deeply traumatised by this... oh... and Dad had ketchup. What a way to ruin onion ring gravy.
I can only assume the building works scuppers this idea, but I though showing the Spain vs Ipswich game in fan zone could have bought in a bit of dosh this weekend. Didn't we open it up for the last Euros?
