There's a vinyl enthusiast in work who spends probably a hundred quid every Friday* and was utterly horrified to find out that my CD player - a mid 90s professional Philips unit - cost more than my turntable - which is fairly new. 3-4x as much in direct terms not even counting for inflation...

Have to figure out how to get 2.5 sets of clothes (match, after, next day) AND my work crap in to a cabin sized backpack now. Luckily not Ryanair, so its the old size. First Nike shirt as its the newest I have in blue/white.

Half the population of Iran were supporters for the time between AJ being rumoured; and the clubs Pride post on Facebook weren't they? :jester:

I'm a broadcast engineer* for two co-operated but different format ILRs in Ireland and find what has been allowed by the UK regulators shocking, and I worry that the regulator here may see it as precedent. We'd play relatively formulaic music on both of them but nowhere as tight as the...

FPTP is a ridiculous anachronism that means that this is even a problem. Grieve would get re-elected no matter what party he was running for in a multi member constituency - and quite a lot of the jokeshop MPs all around wouldn't have ever got in.

£181 for flights because I didn't get around to booking until now; and I'm flying back from City when it reopens on Sunday afternoon which adds a bit to it.

Make sure to tell the hotel, ended up doing this (by mistake) and had severe issues with them having re-listed the room despite having taken payment for it, for the entire rest of a quite long stay.

I'll never get a ticket for a potential final anyway Albeit I said that for the last game at Withdean, so went to the second last and then got one. And for the first league game at the Amex, so went to the warmup game, and then got one.

More a "I am now seriously broker than you" thread for the most part!

Vastly too much due to ticket panic £67.50 for ticket £29.99 for UPS Express to get ticket to me £243.60 for 2 nights hotel, could have gone much cheaper though, or flown over on the morning of - but nowhere to put a bag. £undefined for flights as I only got confirmation of what I'm doing in...

I'm using a ticket obtained by someone who can't go; in a higher bracket than I qualified for, because I'm occasionally panicky and thought it'd sell out. And its quite a nice location too. Did find the accusatory email today from the club basically going "YOU QUALIFY, BUY A TICKET YOU...

Caffeine is the only thing I get physical withdrawal symptoms from and anything else I'm fairly certain I have actually gone without for a period of time. Gave up smoking, have take the odd month off drinking, have probably spent €100 on gambling in a decade.

Are you not required to *find* the conductor to buy a ticket when boarding without a ticket; and doesn't that also require there being no operative ticket machine (or PTT if in a PTT area)? There were piles of random pan-European railway manuals in the office when I was contracting for the...

Based on the 2000+ queue for hours after announcement, I suspect there are quite a lot in that category. It'll sell out on the STH+2 I'm sure anyway.

Its the replacement for Bronze from next season, and its not free.

Basically all crap from my experience. I've vegan mates and frequently the wines with the vegan certs are also organic (but not biodynamic as that can involve such bonkers stuff as burying cow horns near the vines) and basically awful. Took a long time to find mass market, basically perfectly...

That's usually the result of a different Class A. Taken copious amounts of various product in my younger days at nightclubs/festivals/etc but can't even vaguely see the appeal at football. I do understand the whole thing about the "big day out" concept that may or may not have been a pisstake...

Locally made although increasingly mass market Session IPA for me tonight.

Buying memberships I'd imagine. Only a drop in the ocean with PL income but in the old days the club would have very much noticed that many membership fees being paid by people who'd possibly not spent any money at all in years.

Ticket binfest due in minutes, I expect!
