I’ve eaten a lot of things in SE Asia that would turn most people’s stomachs quite happily, and would do again if I had to (to get the deal done, for example). There’s only one thing I won’t/can’t eat: dessicated coconut, I can’t swallow it - it just all collects into a little ball in mouth...

Why would you? For the same reasons that everyone lies on occasion. In this particular case you might be motivated to lie to make your disagreement with my position stronger in an attempt to check mate my argument, for example. No, I fully recognise that everyone has different opinions. Do you...

I don’t believe you do. Do you need the words to Dunk’s song on the screen too? If so, how on earth do you cope that they’re not?

You seem to be implying that if the words to Dunk’s song or Veltman’s (lol) were put up on the big screens more people would sing them. And also implying that you think that would be a good idea. In which case, we’re just going to have to disagree.

I tend to focus on what’s happening in front of me. When it’s the match, I focus on the match; when it’s the singing of our county song, I focus on that; when it’s a thread about our county song on NSC, I focus on that.

The same way as they learn the words to every other song we sing on the terraces: listening to others sing them, or asking someone. Or, unlike most others songs/chants we sing, they can Google the words. It is tinpot to have the words on the screen, and always has been. IMO like.

I glance at it to confirm my fear that the words are still there. One glance per game; and a thousand shudders.

Whenever it is, get rid of the words on the screen. FFS.

Great stuff. Done.

Define luck. If you mean ‘wait until they’ve gone hard enough to use as hard core’ then I’m the luckiest man in the world.

I have a similar problem: I like going to the races, but my family like to see Slow Horses.

Please keep the politics off this thread.

How did he know, being 4 years’ old in 1969? Edit: damn; I’ve been had.

Two weeks this time. Will be a lot longer if there’s a third case. Just cut it out please.

As you’d expect: the classic all-American ‘got what it takes’ hero. Quiet, reserved, humble, serious, oozed competence - deeply impressive. A man who you’d listen to when he talked, but not a man you’d want to have a beer with really.

If you don’t think the probability of the Earth being flat is zero, do you believe that the probability of anything is zero? Just a couple of examples to illustrate: 1066: William the Bastard didn’t defeat Harold and be crowned King on Christmas Day. (This requires belief in historical record...

‘Complex’ is a fitting word. I dined with him on three occasions, all small groups. If I had the chance to do a fourth, I’d be washing my hair. Not because I hated him, but because I found him arrogant and I’d got everything out of my interactions that I felt I wanted to. The one on that list...

There was indeed. Thanks.

Still light, no? Unless it’s currently 2018 and I’m living 6 years in the future…?
