The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

Jeff's Manbag

I like Ted, I think it is more to do with his entrance music and barely contained seething fury against the world rather than his darting ability though.

Oh, and I'm glad sean's not dead.

Dalek / Techno entrance? My mate caught a bat once when we used to go.

DJ Zany, Be On Your Way

Wicked, wicked, bangin' choon!

I was at the Lakeside the year the guy died (fell in the frozen lake). I had left early to try and get to the trains as there was about 6-10 inches of snow. It was a complete white out and I ended up on one of the lakes. Could easily have been brown bread that night.

Welcome back. I'll join those in being relieved that you're not dead.

They were horrendous, my eldest is into it, and having enjoyed the PDC i've decided to encourage him a bit more, i've quite enjoyed playing recently, couple of large checkouts and a few highscores among the 26's.

Hankey should've retired after the stroke really. Funny that Anderson was poor in the BDO yet is a two-time World Champ.

Appreciate PDC is far superior now but the fans are a perfect snapshot of what is sh!t about the country we live in.

Bunch of loud, drunken idiots making fools of themselves.....you sure you wanna go there, Sean?

I am not loud.

I retract that part of my statement.

Are you going to elaborate on the story you promised that was lower than the pepperami/monster munch tale?

well.....

cutting a long story short i'd had a fairly heavy build up to Xmas. I think it was something like 6 nights out of 8. Xmas eve, I arrived at mum's and it was just more heavy drinking. woke on Xmas day in a bit of trouble so had a shower. no help so just made my excuses and went for a walk along the river front. Christchurch quite a well to do place, lots of old people and families walking their dogs etc. As i was walking a bit of sick came up, then a bit more until my mouth was full. Tried to keep it in but then another surge came and my mouth exploded. I had slightly covered by this point which only had the effect creating huge splash back into my face (it was just liquid puke albeit yellow / stale lager).

Basically in front of 30/40 dog walkers / families I had just vomited all over my head face jacket etc. I just put my head down and walked

Didn't think to suck it up and have a tactical chunder at home?

Man drinks too much and is then sick.

That is no where near as amusing (or lower) tale than the pepperami/monster munch one.

Very disappointing story after such a prolonged wait.

Alistair wrote:Didn't think to suck it up and have a tactical chunder at home?

It was projectile. I fought it for about ten seconds but there was no stopping it. Do you remember they used to gunge people in various 80's / 90's shows. I looked like that.

Got home had a quick change then we had to go to the pub. Had a Guinness which was hard work so I ordered a Bloody Mary. The place is a proper cocktail bar so the lady did it properly with plenty of Vodka - £9 it cost me but I swear it sorted me out in 15 minutes.

It wasn't supposed to be amusing. It was more the embarrassment of vomiting all over myself in front of Xmas day revellers and dog walkers in what is supposedly a very nice place. I guess you had to be there to appreciate the disgust and scorn that I was no doubt looked upon with.

2016 starting off on a positive note with quote function I see.

I was actually ashamed

seanmichaels wrote:I was actually ashamed

Of the sick or the quoting?

The sick. I noticed both Jeff and Cane ballsed up their quoting yesterday.

Jeff quite spectacularly.

That's cause we thought you were dead, it was a tribute.

Fully intentional, as a tribute to the great man.

6 days without a cigarette and i'm caning the chewing gum.

Is that Nicorette gum?

I could never get on with that, made me boke. Three months on patches did the job for me, from 20 a day to nothing.

I may try patches. Those vape things are not really a substitute and play havoc with my skin. Trouble is I really like smoking.

Cane before he quit.....

Spoiler:

Can't help but burst out laughing when I see someone sucking on one of those vape things, looks ridiculous.

And you don't like smoking sean, you just think you do.

No, just standard gum. I've gone cold Turkey, the better half is on the Vape. She smokes more than me.

I had cold turkey over Christmas. Does that mean I have kicked smoking?

Yes.

Excellent! I was a none a day man in December.

Don't Vape. Be either man enough to smoke or man enough to stop. There is no middle ground.

Rad*x.

I find it soothing Tina.

Rowley wrote:I find it soothing Tina.

Try smoking it? It might work quicker.

I used to smoke Tina. Stopped when I started the new job. Stopped like a man as well. Bit of willpower and Dunkirk spirit.

Rowley wrote:I used to smoke Tina. Stopped when I started the new job. Stopped like a man as well. Bit of willpower and Dunkirk spirit.

So did I. I think it will be 10 years this November.

I cut up a full pack of 20 Marlboro. Chucked them in the bin and never picked one up again.

Real men do it cold turkey.

On an unrelated point for anyone who has Netflix they should really watch Making a Murderer, it is about a bloke in America who gets wrongly convicted of murder and within two years of getting out gets accused again. Will not tell you more than that because it is better without knowing much more, but I have watched 8 out of the 10 shows and it is utterly compelling viewing. Definitely worth watching.

Chicken and leek soup, and a F**king salad... 7/10

Used to like a Marlboro red. Pack of them on a night out would have you sounding like Deirdre Barlow the next day.

And smelling like her too.

Beef and Horseradish ciabatta, pork scratchings and pespi max. 7/10*

*perhaps should have been higher but given I have no sense of taste at the moment marks were purely texture based. Time for the 'cold clearout' thai curry tonight.

Last of the Christmas Ham sandwich, some grapes.

5/10

I also had some leftovers from Christmas, it was going off and I know I should not have, but it is tough giving up cold turkey.

Watched a couple of half decent films during my travails with pneumonia. Straight Outa Compton 8.5/10. American Reunion 7.5/10. Independence Day 10/10

Talking of cold turkey, as I was leaving my Mum's she asked me to consider having a dry January. It was rather ironic as a.) she drinks like a fish and b.) she bagged up pretty much every alcoholic bottle or can in the house that she doesn't drink and loaded it into my car.

My mum still thinks to this day I am unable to feed myself because of one time I went to the student union where they were dishing out free soup, and she was convinced I was visiting soup kitchens, nearly 20 years on she still thinks this to be the case, even stating, over the phone, that I sounded hungry...

Same here, drives me bananas. She was filling tuppaware boxes left right and centre with scraps for me to take home. I think she feels she has to make up for stuff as she wasn't around for most of my childhood.

Will watch that once i complete Brooklyn Nine Nine.

You should try How To Get Away With Murder, Rowley.

Mate, I think it is just a mum thing, they all seem to want fat kids, go figure.
