I dip in and out of Top Flight Time Machine a lot. The 'regular' shows barely touch football and can be very funny, but I especially like the Melchester series which is up to episode 200+ and is working it's way through every Roy of the Rovers ever. They read the strip and fill in the blanks in...
The sense I get from a lot of the Stone Island and all-in-black is that they see it as shorthand for proppa nawty while really, from the vast majority, it's an impression they want to give rather than the reality. Because there's much less nawtyness with which to build a reputation the need for...
You're getting sacked in the morning
Sacked in the moooooorning
With a payoff of more than I'll earn in total my entire working life you lucky, lucky man

Yesterday they missed over 20...
They hardly sang anything at any time. I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a worse set of home supporters - truly football in a library. 2-0 up dominating, Albion fans silenced, and home fans not celebrating or seemingly interested...so quiet that for long periods of time individual shouts...
It really is football in a library. Are the City fans weirdly silent for almost the entire game or the acoustics just mean they can't be heard in the away end?
Geeking about magic tricks. I'm slightly obsessed with mentalism but more the process and psychology of it than the practice of doing it myself - identifying someone's star sign by asking as little as two questions (fairly simple, I can do this) or their birthday (a bit more involved and needs...
