Vanquinho. Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 7. If I continued to play football between the ages of 11-14, I'm pretty sure I'd be playing Pro-Youth and nearing to play professional football right now. Same here mate, I could have went pro either outfield or in goals... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 There are an enormous amount of very famous and popular films I have never seen- I am not a cinema person and will generally only go to the cinema now with a new girlfriend before I admit that I don't really like going and we go to the pub or out for dinner instead. I am generally pretty introverted and quiet when with one other person and conversation can become quite sparse, but when there are 2 other people in the group speaking I tend to speak a lot more, chip in with (sometimes) witty comments etc. I think I need other people to create things for me to say / comment on. In spite of this kind of shyness, I have absolutely zero problem with public speaking and being on stage, and after a couple of beers find it hard to resist karaoke, at which I have won competitions, obtained women's phone numbers, and made people see me in an entirely different light. I was promoted a year at school- missed out primary 2- and I sat my highers at 15 and left school at 16 having completed 6th year (turned 17 in 1st week of 1st year at uni), but I would only describe myself as no better than above average intelligence as when I got to uni I was no longer ahead of the pack, although I did graduate with a 2:1 honours before my 21st birthday. Other than a crazy memory for people's dates of birth (if you tell me it once I will not forget it) and various sporting trivia I'm pretty useless with the ol' brain now. My worst personality trait is that I am an exceptionally jealous person and will seethe with rage when I see someone from school who's now doing better than me that I never liked, or an ugly bloke with an above-average looking girl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just thought I'd subject you all to another 5 1. I like Rave music and I'm not afraid to admit it. In actual fact, I like most forms of Dance music, just my like of Hardcore Dance tends to get me a fair bit of abuse for my tastes. 2. Because of the above, many people often lazily assume "oh, he must take drugs". I have never taken drugs in my life, and I have no intentions of ever doing so. I've never smoked either. 3. In person, I'm quite an easy going guy. I did have temper issues when I was about 14/15, but they disappeared as I grew up. I have a ruthless competitive streak in me when playing sport though. I absolutely detest losing, even in games which are only classed as a kickabout. Nothing infuriates me more than when I'm playing football and people start pissing about. 4. Alcohol doesn't really bother me. Sure, I like a night out every now and then, but I can regularly go over a month without an alcoholic drink at a time and it really doesn't bother me in the slightest. 5. I'm quite easily satisfied in life. Nothing pleases me more than having a long lie and being able to sit and do nothing for a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCaleyGoBallistic Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm having difficulty reconciling these two. jesus thats a bloody awful mistake. what i meant was i dont have to lie about getting pissed etc. to 'fit in'. although i lie about alot of other things. hopefully that has been cleared up for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ade Eyemond Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) 1) Look at me 2) Look at me, I'm mental 3) Look at me, I'm great 4) Look at me, I'm controversial 5) Look at me, please, no-one commented on how mental/great/controversial I was first time I posted. Because, let's face it, that's what most of the other posts on this thread have been ! B) Edited January 21, 2009 by Ade Eyemond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanquinho. Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Excellent thread by the way, probably one of the best that's ever appeared on Pie and Bovril.1) I have been in love once in my life. My feelings, however, were not reciprocated and as a result, it destroyed a very close friendship that probably will never recover. The fallout was so bad, I thought I would actually have to go on some form of anti-depressant to get me through it, and I'm still trying to get over it. One one-and-a-half occasions in the past, I thought I might have been in love with other girls, but this time feels far more vital and substantial than anything I felt before - it just fucking sucks that it never happened. Truly gutted. 2) The greatest album I have ever listened to is Hats by The Blue Nile. It used to be U2's The Unforgettable Fire, but after picking up the CD from Fopp for £3 in the summer of last year, I was completely sucked into this closed off world of romantic intrigue, bars and nights out, feeling in love and feeling completelt empty... If anyone knows a better album, I would like to hear it, it is the most perfectly pitched record I have ever listened to. Subsequently, I bought their other three albums, and only A Walk Across The Rooftops comes close to matching it... 3) The greatest, most replayed sexual experience of my life happened just over a year ago - after a very pleasent date, I took the girl back to my flat where after an entirely excellent hour of intercourse, she encouraged me to masturbate in front of her, pulling the duvet down so I could see her breasts, putting her hand across my chest and looking at me directly in the eye as I "went for it". Easily the most erotic thing that's ever happened to me. I think that sort of thing might be my "bag" now... 4) I think that am envious of my younger brother. He is better at football me than me, perhaps more handsome, a better singer, more popular, has a lovely girlfriend, a job he is happy with and generally has a wonderful sense of contentment with his life. I on the other hand am nothing more than an embittered old husk, lonely and pitiful, working a shit job for shit money with shit people when I could easily be doing something far more fulfilling, and generally feeling confused and disappointed with my lot so far. 5) In years to come, I really think that I will look back on my younger days with a deep sense of regret and disappointment - I don't think I've done all that much with them. A real sense of an opportunity missed. I feel as though I didn't work hard enough or socialise enough at University, or spent enough time with my good friends and my family... I will really rue these days gone by... Deep, brilliant... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanquinho. Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It was either that or I tell you about the time I shat in a carrier bag... No holds barred in this thread Go for it, I've added loads... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think that's the difference between the internet, and real life. (The only difference, obviously) If you said "I shat in a carrier bag" to some normal, real life people, say, at your work, there'd be retching, disgust and probably a disciplinary hearing. Post it on the internet, and all you get is "Go on then, tell us all about it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 It was either that or I tell you about the time I shat in a carrier bag... 1) I've made a number of statements which were the most inappropriate thing to say at the time! 2)I'm extremely cynical of things people claim to have done. 3) I hate teenagers who think they have drinking problems when they have no apparent understanding of the nature of alcoholics 4) I feel very disappointed with my previous choices in life and feel the need to right myself a lot of the time. 5) I hate Che Guevara...but not as much as people who wear his t-shirt! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real sense of an opportunity missed. I feel as though I didn't work hard enough or socialise enough at University, or spent enough time with my good friends and my family... I will really rue these days gone by... Thought I'd put a decent response in... 1) Only ever had one girlfriend at the age of 21...wasn't into "hold hand" stuff at primary and was too shy at secondary...and most of University, I suppose. 2) Favourite album is Sigur Ros's (). I could cry every time I listened to it - it's completely magical. Favourite song is Dayvan Cowboy by Boards of Canada and it makes me feel the same way. 3) I'm not going to come up with a reciprocal answer to that 4) My wee brother can kick my arse at defending, but I suppose I'm better at attacking. Possibly. Wee brothers are usually better at football - given a headstart by their elder sibling and competing against them, I'd wager. 5) I wish I'd indulged in the University "experience" a bit more in the opening years before settling down to work when it really mattered. Difficult as I was 17 for a full year of Uni but I should still have taken it less seriously at the beginning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 6) I am currently learning to play the guitar and loving it. 7) I shagged girl who works for me on Friday night, despite vowing to never "poke the payroll". I've liked her for a while, and had the feeling she felt the same. I was right. Now we're acting as if nothing happened, but I can't get her out of my mind. I think Jim Steinman is the greatest lyricist who has ever lived 9) I've been decorating my flat for three months and still haven't finished it 10) I'm currently thinking over what will probably turn out to be the biggest decision of my life, a job offer that would increase my salary by almost 50%, but would see me leave a job and people I love, and move to Dundee/Perth. I'm swaying towards going for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vander. Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 1. Last season, I went to Old Trafford more often than I went to Victoria Park I also have imposed upon myself a strict No Alcohol rule while watching Man Utd games, which has helped me save a considerable amount of money 2. After many years of floating around a football pitch, not really knowing what my best position was, I seem to have finally found my calling as an utter nutcase of a goalkeeper. Look out for me at 5s this year, where I'm aiming to do better than last year, where I managed 1 clean sheet and proceeded to get absolutely wasted in Walkabout 3. Politics-wise, I'm not sure how I'd define myself. I'm a firm supporter of the idea of Scottish independence but I'm not sure it's financially viable YET. I tend to shy away from strongly associating myself with (or against) any one particular party or any particular "wing" 4. I'm at Stirling Uni studying Money, Banking and Finance (basically it's been mostly economics with some finance thrown in so far), which on the face of it sounds like a really good career move 5. I have just started reading War and Peace. I saw it on special offer in Borders t'other day and thought why not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I can identify with. Early nights out with burds have always consisted of me suggesting a moderately priced meal then a trip to the cimema, as I try to hide the horrible truth that my ideal night is in fact dinner, two bottles of red wine then half a dozen pints of lager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
