  1. 6 career assists, not sure that constitutes good service. Also plays most of his football on the right, despite being left footed, so he tends to cut in and shoot rather than owt else and with 6 career goals he doesn't seem that deadly at that either. Guy is all fart and no shite, only gets hyped cos he is British and scored a belter for England.
  2. Lived there for 5 years and go back about twice a year, love it there but Glasgow is more interesting imo. You have had some good advice already tbh, I lived behind the st James shopping centre in new town, morningside and marchmont but that was proper studenty and I don't know if that is your bag. Morningside is nice and quiet and the new town area in general was quite expensive.
  3. I will just wing it on the day I reckon, that's probably the right technique. The amount of people that find public speaking fucking terrifying is strange like, especially since there is only 13 people in the room. I don't particularly enjoy it but the very worst thing that could happen is making a tit of yourself in from of 12 others? Made a tit of meself I front of far bigger crowds that that before.
  4. Posted a few weeks ago about a management course I've been put on at work. Next weekend away is coming up and we have been sent some homework to "bullet point your life". I am dreading the heartfelt shite already, there is 3 blokes out of 12 people. The last time we have "our proudest moments" 5/9 girls was giving birth (commence crying), one was coming out as a lesbian (fair enough) and the other was losing about 7 stone (she has put it back on). How do I go about bullet pointing my life without it being, born, school, college, work, uni, work, now? I am thinking about using the story from Pinochio and changing it a bit and see if anyone notices
  5. Yeah the day after the day after is the worst. Been 4 weeks now so its nowhere near as bad as it was like.
  6. Just started 7 a side with the lads from work. Been 3 years since I last kicked a ball and 10 since I did it seriously. Class is permanent but fitness isnt and Im sore as fuck the day after, miles better than the gym though.
  7. I write in block capitals because my hand writing is terrible. I had one of those "special" pens at school. Couldn't tell you the last time I wrote anything by hand anyway.
  8. My girlfriend at the time knocked someone off a bike on her first test. A friend also drove into the fence around the test centre when leaving the car park.
  9. I have these beans, you want them?
  10. "Aye Nanna, just get me 2 grams off dodgy Steve. Nah, nah, I don't want a dressing gown"
  11. Haven't a clue mate. A quick Google tells me Paul Clement is on £2 mill a year at Derby. Would be surprised if we get much change from that for McClaren tbh. The other way to look at it is, if this goes tits up for him it will probably be his last crack at the big time so will want a decent pay cheque. I reckon his wages and the place in the board as security are why we didn't do the deal in Jan tbh.
  12. Not even sure McClaren will be that cheap tbh. He won't be on Mourinho or Klopp money but I would wager he is more expensive than many we could have hired.
  13. There is a lot of old fashioned thinking in here like, extra training sessions, screaming at players etc. Simply doesn't happen anymore, for better or worse. Can see why were linked with that Valencia CM in the summer now mind, our options look poor.
  14. I live near a bar in Manchester called port street beer house, you can walk in any day of the week and they have different beers on. All generally smaller breweries and 90% are class. If any of you are doing man city away, it's a 15 minute slow walk from the ground.
  15. Thanks for the help all. I own my car outright, have one credit card that I can pay off with a months wage and an overdraft I never use. Tbf I do spend randomly on daft shite but I can knock that on the head. Anyone any ideas about the life insurance thing?
  16. Apologies in advance but I have some stupid questions, I have rented since I left home at 18 and my parents are no use in financial matters. I have a decent amount for a deposit and my lease is up in March next year, I am looking at buying then or if needs must rent for another year max. How do I get a mortgage? Do I just go into the lender who looks like they offer what I want and ask? Does where I bank make a difference? Can I get a mortgage in place without a specific place to buy or do I have to find the gaff first and then find a mortgage. Also I heard cos I had cancer that life insurance is gunna be harder to get in place? Feel free to take the piss as I am a 31 year old man asking questions I should probably understand

    Cooking

    Sounds alright but do you buy bags of pre cut onion?
  18. These two inbred cunts are probably the first in their family born without a tail.
  19. He seems angry about Elliot being the worst keeper in the league. Not Elliot's fault, he should still be on the bench at Charlton but if any second div footballer was offered the chance they would jump at it too. Probably with less of a gut than Elliot mind.
  20. "I didn't know she was your missus, it's these dick pills honest. If you don't knock it off I'm telling me dad"
