    [Football] Paul Merson: Football and Gambling. BBC 1

    Ive just caught up with this programme. Wow! All plaudits to Paul for putting his story out to the public. The guy gambled away the money he and his wife had saved for the deposit on a house! He seemed genuinely scared that he's always one step away from a bet. Fortunately I have no personal...

    [Food] Restaurant thread 2021

    I'm going to the Ivy in Brighton for dinner in a couple of weeks - with the current Mrs FG and 2 other couples - I've never been before so I'm looking for any personal opinions/guidance/recommendations. From the website the food seems reasonably priced and the wine less-so? Not that that's a...

    [Misc] I wouldn't have believed this was true if I didn't know it was actually true

    I didn't like it when it was released and I don't like it today, but that's not what this thread is about. Besides which just because we disagree doesn't make either of us right or wrong. I'll admit to exaggeration when I said "worst recording", perhaps I should have said "most overplayed...

    [Misc] I wouldn't have believed this was true if I didn't know it was actually true

    The final bars of "Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding (his worst recording IMHO) are whistled. This is because they laid down the track in the recording studio and used the whistling to figure out the length and cadence of the song, but didn't arrive at a finished product. Otis then flew home...

    As long as he/his party likes, unless and until there is a viable alternative/opposition party that has deliverable, realistic, widely-popular policies. I'll get my binoculars out now.

    We were awful. So were they. The goal was fantastic. I predicted the score correctly for once. UTA!

    [Humour] “Computer says no”

    In the mid 1990's I made the mistake of going to work for IBM UK - it took me ten months to get out again! Anyway, on my first day I went to the coffee shop franchise in the reception area and asked for a double shot Latte. I was told "we're not allowed to sell double shots." So I asked for a...

    Torch and a bucket of salty water - and frequent nocturnal hunting. Tongs and/or rubber gloves optional. Secateurs work too, and the local wildlife can still feast on the remains.
