  1. The first time I looked at the one In Cumbria the website described it as being in ‘the heart of the Lake District’. It’s not far away but it’s about 10 miles outside the national park, near Penrith and on completely the other side of the M6. So not in the Lake District at all. That level of blatant bullshitting completely put me off tbh.
  2. I wouldn’t go anyway. I can’t believe what they charge to stay there tbh. Looks like I’d hate it as well
  3. They’re them things that are meant to be for surfers etc to put on straight after they come out the sea but have become the go to clothing item for anyone who wants to look like a twat https://dryrobe.com
  4. And don’t get my fucking started in people who wear those dry robes everywhere
  5. Beef Wellington has to be an entry in the Profanisaurus. As in: throwing a Woodbine down Northumberland Street euph. Newcastle Unsatisfying sex with a bucket fannied (qv) individual. As in: 'Why man, it was like throwin' a fuckin' Woodbine doon Northumberland Street'. Aka a wizard’s sleeve or wellie top
  6. Could we maybe have a stickied thread in Gen Chat reminding senile old people like me what to use to host images? And please go ahead and trim my posts. I did make a start a while ago on my old images but then completely forgot. Thanks. Really appreciate all the work you put into this, Andrew. I feel like I’d be a bit lost without this refuge of (relative) sanity edit: might help if I actually tagged you in this post @Andrew

    I went to see a classical ensemble at the sage as was. It was the night (Halloween iirc) after we beat Sunderland 5-1. It was billed as them, accompanied by pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole, playing Brian Eno’s Apollo album, with footage from the film For All Mankind playing on a big screen. That was the second half and it was superb. However the first hour or so (which there was no prior mention of) was them playing experimental modern classical music which, erm, wasn’t quite as good

    AFAIK the only player to have ever played in every single round of the FA Cup including all the qualifying rounds.

    Happy birthday, you ancient philistine
  12. Even it if was a reasonable excuse (it isn’t), whose fucking fault is it that he missed preseason?
  13. I think that, irrespective of who is the better keeper, Pope needed dropping for his own good after the recent run of form. And we do actually have a good backup keeper which allows for that.
  14. I thought he was definitely out (as per the bbc). Same knee as was operated on so I can’t see how they risk him.
  15. Fuck off, keep fucking off and, when you get there, fuck pff some more

    For the first bit I think the owners are careful because they think any indiscretion will be heavily punished and any manipulation of the current regs will see a loophole instantly closed as we’re likely to be held to different standards. I’m not sure the second bit really exists as a nationwide obsession. As you say it’s more of a sop for losers. See the Mackems and the English cricketing journalist fraternity. Mackems are massive hypocrites but former public schoolboys even more so.
  18. Absolutely no guarantees he’s a regular starter if he goes there
