Tbf the Mail knows its audience. And its audience is horrible, insular, racist cunts

Zenith Data Systems / Simod / Full Members Cup were all the same competition and TBD is correct. It was post-Heysel / English teams being banned from Europe.

There’s loads of them Trojan comps, but out of the original series which were released in the late 90s iirc, the Lover’s Rock, Dub (vols 1&2), Ska and Rocksteady ones are top notch

If you love a bit of reggae the Trojan box sets compilations they did a few years ago are fucking class https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=trojan&type=all&format_exact=Compilation

Yes

Alreet, Farage

The Clash covered that didn’t they?

Who were they playing? The blind school?

Got her version of Loving You on the playlist (and that 👆- now).

I did myself a Lover’s Rock playlist on Amazon and had it on this morning when the twins were eating their breakfast. They asked what it was. When I told them / explained about it they reckoned they didn’t like it and that you shouldn’t listen to music before you’re born. But I knew they actually liked it because they swaying and tapping away within a couple of minutes. And, more tellingly, had shut the fuck up

Typical young uns. If it didn’t happen last week, they haven’t heard about it

Ah, yes. Krul had a blinder iirc 👍🏻 And Van Gaal went on like he’d won the World Cup when AZ beat us in the knockout stage

There was about 2 or 3 others I knew and talked myself out of the right answer where I think I’d have got them without the multiple choice. But I’ve got no recollection of that recent-ish Europa league / UEFA cup group

Andrew Pierce? The prize twat’s prize twat

I think they were at uni together

Craig Hope was KD’s Ditto

That ship has sailed, mate 👍🏻

A boss from a previous job got his skipper qualification (day skipper I think). I don’t think the course was that cheap. But it allowed him to hire a sailing yacht and do a holiday in the Mediterranean without needing to pay for crew. Just the yacht hire, etc. Even then it was a canny bit of money at that time. About 15 years ago, ie a lot more than a week abroad. And he did it in Croatia which was, at that time, the cheapest option in the Med. So, aye, even the least expensive option will cost a lot, plus the hassle, responsibility etc. Fish is right, in that even most people who them will rent them out when they aren’t using them. But Renton is correct to point out they’ll charge a fortune for the privilege

Watched it last night. It did not disappoint

Bit inconsiderate but I’m sure you forgave her

Is that Spuggy off Byker Grove?

Went to the Warner Bros cinema loads of times. Back when the idea of a multiplex was exciting. Wasn’t the Mexican place a Chiquito’s?

All I know is that the ones with tallest masts aren’t always the best. Btw, that was all over the news and that might be the first mention of it on here. Odd that the media saturation didn’t translate into anyone giving a fuck. Not just on here, I never even heard anyone mention it in passing at work or anything like that

Handicap? What mythical comfort blanket has passed into mackem folklore now?
