    Reasons to be Cheerful

    Tenerife with over 30 degrees. Burnt to a fucking cinder but given I'm by myself I've done not bad at getting talking to people. The wee 18 year old bird I've spent the past few nights with is away home so tonight is out with a group of Scottish lads about ten years younger than me to show them how to drink.

    Aye. Plank the mop behind a bin, off for a fumble and back to work within the hour.

    Anyway got some action last night through more traditional means, still hoping that tinder oicks up though!

    Things you want to share with P&B

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    Posted

    I like the fact you're single, in a sun soaked country with half naked ladies, yet you come on P&B and groan about not being able to put sun tan lotion on your back. Theres a blatant solution to this problem, which would come with extra benefits

    Wouldn't have called it a groan, more of an observation.

    And far be it for me to come on the Internet and boast about sex. I'll keep my lewd stories about tidy wee English birds several years my junior to myself thank you very much.

    Stick ~£200-300- you should have two, these last a season

    shoes 100- also last a season,

    I wish I was in a position where 500 is insignificant, but i'm not.

    Don't get me wrong mate, if I had to pay it up front it'd be tough! Just seemed low for elite level sport. Although you can't really include shoes etc, I need football boots, the goalie needs gloves etc. Same for everyone.

    Anyway, back on topic. Tinder is like a whole new world to me as I'm freshly single. Going to tenerife for a week by myself tomorrow hoping to put it to good use out there!

    I've played european level hockey (EHL ~ champions league).

    The "out to pegg everyone" is normally what's aimed for at the end of the tournament, however after 5 days(at least) of intense effort you're lucky if its more than a couple of hours, before you're a mumbling mess.

    Airport - motorway - hotel - hotel grounds(walk 3hrs before if early game)- motorway- ground- motorway- hotel. Then, sometimes, if you're REALLY lucky, walk to shops to buy more bread, ham, &cheese and fruit.

    A big part is giving your body time to recover, so movement is deliberately curtailed.

    Then there will be video analysis for individuals/ offensive tactics, defensive tactics/ line analysis eg Forwards, mid, def. Waiting to see the physio, then time for more food.

    There's only so much of each others company you can take... Box sets get a hammering.

    Then you go out to play, and all that matters is the game!

    After the match, recovery/warmdown, refuel, bus to hotel, discuss the game. Repeat.

    Once everything is finished, time to let the hair-down, and try to pegg everyone . Only for an evening, because the flight home inevitably leaves at 6 the next morning.

    I'm very lucky to have had the opportunity to play in europe & against some of the best players and teams in the world. If I have children I will bore them to death with it.

    NB. For an amateur sport(continentals play proffessionally) it can be pricey. This year it is looking around 750 each, just to make the european comp. My match fees and subs are 250 each year.

    £250 a year for match fees and subs (assuming I'm reading this right)? I'm a fiver a week for training with my shite amateur football team and a fiver on a Saturday for a game, roughly £500 a year. You're a chancer!

    Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

    My iron just decided it would be a giggle to spew boiling hot water all over the floor.

    Unfortunately my bare foot was in the way.

    My mrs apparently does not have the traditional female ironing gene, given that she melted her work skirt onto the iron. Not a huge issue, except that unlike any normal person she never cleaned the iron after, resulting in a crisp white shirt now having some lovely black streaks down it.

    Pub Etiquette

    in The General Nonsense Forum

    Posted

    I think etiquette changes slightly depending on the pub. For example: I would never dream of sitting at a bar on a Saturday night in a busy bar when out for a night out, however I always sit at the bar in my local, even if it's busy. I'd never tip bar staff anywhere else except my local, but that's just to keep them onside. I always point out people that are ahead of me in the queue in strange bars, in my local I demand service first and call the person who might have been ahead of me several creatively insulting names.

    Then again, my local is exactly how a pub should be. Cheap pints, tremendous banter, very few women (and no women's toilet), and a local reputation that puts folk off (meaning you don't get human detritus in pastel coloured chinos with wedge haircuts ordering tequila beers), and as final bonus it's like a lead coffin that doesn't get a mobile signal - no tagging anyone on facebook, no staring at your phone all day. Champion!

    That mean I can't come visit then? :(
