[Albion] Everton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Seagull58]

I will agree that in the early stages of weed-smoking, its very different. When I started smoking at 19-20, I wasn't really aware of the actual effects. I could get on a train without understanding or feeling any shame about how f***ing stoned I probably looked. Jumped into various projects without understanding that I could never pull it off while stoned, had a smoke before meeting dates without understanding how sluggish and non-horny I'd be when actually facing her.

Smoking weed delays a lot of natural brain processing so you learn the lessons slowly. Sometimes have to repeat mistakes a couple of times, or have a good friend telling you what-is-what from a perspective you ignored/didn't think of. But once you're five-ten years into it, its all clear to pretty much every stoner. Now in my mid-30s, my conversations with fellow stoners usually revolve around how useless, lazy and unproductive we are.

Hopefully your son will come out of it well - most do. When the disadvantages of smoking become more obvious, its not fun anymore. Those who want to live a good life will stop smoking and those who want to live a non-bad life will often continue; it may not be fun, but its comfortable.

Yeah, my son put it all behind him and is now doing very well in his chosen career, thanks for asking

You didn't sound like you were rushing anything, quite the opposite, in fact. I listened to the first 3 minutes, got bored, scrolled to about 8 minutes in, got bored much more quickly and turned it off. I would suggest you work out roughly what you're going to say in advance and then deliver it with some enthusiasm in a faster cadence.
People who smoke weed tend to be overly confident and believe that they have done something better than they actually have.

Weed smokers are vague not confident imo, if you want confident ( and f***ing annoying with it) Coke is your friend!

Found this new youtuber who has incredible insights.

Anyone know how to search for the image of @Swansman that he posted ages ago? I'm sure he also had a beard and sticky-up hair.....

Is Pepsi OK...?

Nah, I'm Han, the wookie-fucker from Corellia...

Yes, I'm Swansman.

My main concern whilst watching the vid was not the content, which was fine, but a fear that Swanny might at any moment stand up and reveal he had inadvertently forgotten to dress below the waist. With the frequent leg crossing and uncrossing, it was like a version of ""Basic Instinct" to watch from behind the sofa

 

[Flounce]

Nope it’s fecking sweet and a very poor substitute

 

[Albion my Albion]

Do you think it would be better if you planned what you were going to say? You seemed to ramble a bit.

It works for Donald Trump but then all his supporters are like him----assholes & idiots!!!

 

[Albion my Albion]

Apologies, but the Albion will be represented by my fat pink face and shirt.

You never know. The Albion might go to an all pink uniform. Some NFL teams have used pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness events.

The turning point for me was that incredible miss by Dwight O’Neill - I still have an image of a thousand Everton fan faces frozen in shock imprinted on my brain 20 hours on!

I think Jason Steele deserves credit for spread eagling himself and helping to force the mistake. He won’t get it of course because so much commentary on here is trend driven

It would have been ruled out for offside anyway, as it clearly was, but a missed sitter all the same and as you say Steele did a good job with it to narrow angles.

Flashbacks of Kenny Everett, "In the best possible taste".

Edit: I forgot to say, well done Swanny. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts instead of all the usual ex-player crap we're fed on Sky and from the rest of the mainstream media.

Was it offside? I haven’t really watched it since.

Interesting how the media brushed that small detail under the carpet. Instead praising a wonderful counter attack.

Perhaps confidence is the wrong word to use. In the cases I referenced the weed gave them a relaxed sense of wellbeing so that they thought they were achieving things that they actually weren't.

Yes, both players were offside in the attack.

Yes it was offside and quite clearly so. One of those annoying late flag situations when you know it’s going to be flagged.

It’s irrationally annoyed me that it’s not been pointed out it wouldn’t have counted anyway when shown on highlights and the game being spoken about!

First league game of the season thread and you're banging on off-topic about your weed smoking jesus wept, de ja vu or what

Why don’t they just say that?

A cynic might say to give the false impression of a great move, airbrushing out that it was flawed.

Tbf to Han, I initiated the weed smoking discussion. He was responding to me.
