[Albion] Your additional Luton tales of woe

[Bry Nylon]

Surprised the smoke detectors didn’t go off?

I don't have a smoke alarm in the kitchen. Not recommended - although Heat Detectors are. But tbf I haven't got one of those either.

Smoke alarms and heat alarms - Fire safety at home

The warning an appropriate fire detection system provides can save your life. But what's right for you and your home?

What Happened On This Day – January 30​

• 1982 The first computer virus is released “into the wild”​

  Elk Cloner was created by 15-year-old Richard Skrenta as a practical joke.

• 1972 On “Bloody Sunday”, British troops kill 13 unarmed protesters​

  It was one of the most significant events of the Northern Ireland conflict.

• 1969 The Beatles give their last public performance​

  The concert was played on the rooftop of the Apple Corps building at 3 Savile Row in London.

• 1945 9,400 people die in the deadliest maritime disaster in history​

  The “Wilhelm Gustloff” was sunk by a Soviet submarine during World War II.

• 1933 Adolf Hitler becomes Chancellor of Germany​

  The “Machtergreifung” marked the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of the “Third Reich”.

I suppose, in the general scheme of things, a 4-0 defeat to Luton may only just creep into the top five worst things that happened on January 30.

I was so ENGROSSED in the horror unfolding before my eyes on the Official Match Day Thread that I completely forgot that I had put 2 hugely-overpriced chicken breast fillets in the oven. By the time I remembered and salvaged them, they looked like a pair of used heat tiles from the space shuttle programme.

Wouldn't that be something if you could utilise over priced chicken breasts as heat shields in space.
Would be good for the Spanish Pollo space program.
















I'll get my coat.....

My day yesterday:

A very sombre funeral of a lifelong friend of the family
Five hours on the M3 / M25 / M23, to travel to / from said event

Got home 6pm, in time to cook dinner for the family, because my wife is isolating upstairs after a positive Covid test.

Settled down to relax in front of the football

An hour or two fighting through various nonsensical government websites, trying to register my wife for tax self-assessment just because she sells a few second hand clothes on eBay (deadline is tomorrow).

At midnight start moving all the furniture in the lounge to set up the cold, uncomfortable sofa bed, to try to get six hours sleep.

Yay for me.

Hope you still ate them - shame to waste anything!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I didn't go to the game, so I decided to treat myself to a takeaway curry to enjoy alongside watching it on a stream. One of the dogs jumped up and knocked my entire plate of food onto our relatively new sofa, which is now a total write off. So whilst not entirely connected, I'm blaming everything on Luton.

Luton ? that one is clearly RDZ’s fault. If I were you I would get him or the club to buy you a new sofa.

 

[dazzer6666]

Queuing traffic basically from Cobham to Luton

 

[cjd]

I can't get any streams here. so I just watch the scoreline on the BBC text. I'm always a bit anxious when the game is about to begin, but I really enjoy the opening period where each team is searching for weak spots to exploit LATER in the game. Gives me time to settle down and get my breathing calm...............





Oh.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Palace also had a goal scored against them in the first minute but somehow they didn’t capitulate and cry themselves to a 4-0 loss.

If income is less than £1,000 you don't need to register

 

[Bakero]

I captained João Pedro in FF.

 

[Badger]

I went to a social event with my running group, to try and forget about the whole thing.

Then my friend ordered this beer...

 

[hans kraay fan club]

If income is less than £1,000 you don't need to register

It's only a hobby really, but she sold £2,500 last year, so she does have to register (even though she doesn't have any other income, so is miles under all thresholds, and the outcome of the self-assessment is presumably a formality)

 

[El Presidente]

Got flashed by a speed camera on the M25 doing about 63 in a 50 zone

 

[Hovegull]

Got out of work late and missed the game completely - oh wait wrong thread.

 

[Happy Exile]

I booked my train tickets for most of Feb after the game and discovered moving a meeting to accommodate someone else has added £55 to my un-reclaimable travel cost for the month.

 

[doogie004]

Watching in the Maldives the game finished at 02.30am at 03.00am I was still bloody wide awake and today it has pissed down all day

 

[Weststander]

I wrote a thread that no one understands.

Also I was GRUMPY.

Not everyone! It was correct and Naylor's now plagiarising it

 

[Weststander]

I only put a fiver on Luton at 5/1 ..if I had bet the house I’d be a millionaire Rodney

I'd planned to reactive my Betfair account and put £1,000 on a Luton win. I remembered 15 minutes into the game. #furious

 

[seagullwedgee]

I left on 54 minutes at 0-4. I walked through my front door at 9.59pm.

Normally for a midweek home game, I get home about 2.00am.

So, I got home 4 hours earlier! Sorry to piss on your chips.
