    Tipping on ordering

    I have been to a few places in the last year or so where very strange tip culture is starting to creep in. Mrs and I went for a meal today in a Pizza restaurant where the food was really good, half decent value and will more than likely go again. However when we went in, we got sat down at a...

    Any pointers for Guinea Pigs

    Mrs just brought home a couple of females. I have never had rodents before. Any pointers on what you need to do with them? From what I read online, they are just fat bastards and you just keep giving them vegetation?

    Affordable Home Build Schemes - Partial Ownership, Reduced Rate Purchase, etc

    Borderline politics but let's keep it away from there. I have 2 direct family members trying to sell and escape these schemes from 10-15 years ago, 1 of partial ownership and 1 of reduced rate purchase. The partial ownership requires a sell price for both parties and the reduced rate requires...

    WTF is up with Reading festival this year?

    My ears are bleeding. Only really tuned in to watch Limp Bizkit for a laugh. But the live performance is just showing random stuff.

    At what point do you call it a day with an old dog?

    Mrs and I are at that point now with a 13 year old rescue greyhound lurcher. My parents tell me they have made mistakes before, keeping a family dog alive too long. I am carrying him up and down the stairs now. It is almost a full time job but I love him to bits.

    Escape Rooms

    They are really getting to be a good thing now. Just did one today for my birthday and it was a darkness challenge. The only thing that was over and above ones I have done before is that they had interactive jump scares going on, when you are deep in thought trying to solve a puzzle, and then...

    Game shows with time limts

    Random thread but Mrs has hit list on in the background and with the sound overlays for TV, the contestants actually buzzed in before the song had even started playing in the first round when you have to rely on audio. From TV, they never actually played the tune! I notice this a lot in...

    The day the tables turned

    Just doing a bit of reflection and a few years have gone by now. I know this has been done 1,000 times but did not know which thread to put this in: Yaya's goal against the rags in the FA Cup semi felt like the pivotal moment for me. So much built up emotion and so much energy. It felt like...

    Has anybody realised how frighteningly powerful this is yet?? If you haven't go have a play. In no more than 5 seconds:

    Cheese Rolling

    I searched but could not find an existing thread on the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling. So I know many people think it is complete stupidity, an unnecessary drain on medical services, bla bla bla, but I have always enjoyed watching the annual cheese rolling. Bat shit crazy culture that is...

    Is Sports Science taking the natural beauty out of the game?

    For example. I always thought Matt Le Tissier was one of the greatest Premier League players to exist, but I think he would not even get into a Premier League team at this moment in time. It seems to me like the priority is to get athletes in to learn to play football rather than get...

    The Truman Show (Concept)

    This isn't a conspiracy theory thread, it is an experience thread; More so the amount of times when you are in a place that you have never been before or seldom have ever been to, but yet you somehow manage to bump into someone you know (more than often, quite well). I have a some examples over...

    Retro appreciation for players

    Over the last 2 years we have quite drastically changed the way we play; From a complete game controlling team waiting for the overlaps to a bit of an opportunist team that bombards outside play. I was never Mahrez's biggest fan, but I feel he was absolutely fundamental to the possession style...

    Films that get better the more you watch them

    It is very rare to find a film that gets better each time you watch it. Shawshank Redemption initially springs to mind for me which I am sure will divide people 50-50.... However. Watched Shaun of the Dead again the other day after a few years and I don't know why, but it seems to get funnier...

    Who the feck is Tina Fey?

    I have never known so much bombarded advertisement on every corner. TV, internet.... I suppose the point of this thread is; why do you end up doing general adverts when you are supposed to be some sort of movie star? jean Claude Van Damme Johnny Depp Spring to mind. Is it a depiction of the...

    The font on the back of our shirts

    What is up with it? I think it looks terrible. It reminds me of the kiddy font from 25-30 years ago when hardly any fonts existed? Was it called Comic Sans? Not sure which genius came up with the design but it is a big no from me and hopefully will revert/change next season.

    Deep Lying Midfield Stones

    I don't want to associate this with the Real Madrid thread but I thought we were all but in control of the game with the back 2 split and Stones lying deep. I also liked the way we were playing from a deeper position, the game was also made a lot wider through Grealish and Bernardo. It seems...

    KDB vs Pirlo

    KDB is insistent on trying to provide energy in a number 10 role (which he does his best at) but is it not time that he dropped deeper? Similar to David Silva in his yesteryears? A deep lying playmaker is surely where KDB's legacy is yet to lie.

    A Song of Ice and Fire

    For any readers out there and people that have seen Game of Thrones, this was a discussion point over 10 years ago! When are the final novels going to be released? George RR Martin is 77 years old now. For people who don't know, there are three novels remaining to be released that are...

    Veruccas (Do they still exist?)

    A completely random thread but something the Mrs and I were discussing tonight after going through our online NHS medical records from birth is...... Are veruccas still a thing? What the hell happened to them? Where did they go? Used to be burnt off or frozen off; After that there was...
