Moaning on a Record
dizzybull said:Looks like I was 12 years too late with my thread.Probably not on your radar until you have kids in the house. Like swearing. Wifey loves Skipworth and Turner "Thinking About Your Love" and the mix in her car starts with some girl comically faking the line "Ooooooooooh! Give it to me baby!" which elicits laughter all 'round.

I know some friends who have folks in long spirals of dementia or off/on cancer therapy, which I am happy to have swerved. I am actually looking forward to Christmas to cheer us all up. I mean, it's been a fucker of a year for everyone.

dizzybull said:I know this thread is for soccer and the existentialist threat that is the end of our meaningless existence but I wanted to ask:
what do Brits think of The Crown? I’ve watched a few episodes here and there and it seems good to me but I could imagine a British show about an American presidency seeming strange.So: bullocks or brilliant?
(the only two brit adjectives I know)Hey G*ry... it's "Bollocks". Slang for testicles. It can mean good or bad, depending on context.
"It's THE bollocks" = good."It's the dog's bollocks" = very good (see "Donkey's knob")
"He's got some bollocks doing that" = he has some bravery.
"He's talking absolute bollocks" = he's full of shit.
"It's bollocks" = bad
I guess it's like when something is shit, or theee shit.
I've never watched the crown but from all accounts it's good. Yours included. But also fug them. Muhfugs be starving out there.

Sorry to hear that L*o.
Same here. Been seeing Christmas cards and tins of shortcake biscuits (Legit has to have Deer/Stag Combo artworks or your (sic) soft) which we always got for him but, no.. not this year. Or ever. And seems mum has took a nosedive - she's unable to look after herself and has gone into a home. From speaking to her oldest friends, looks like she has had an eating disorder for years (swapping gin for food and other bulimia-R behaviours) and it was not talked about by my dad or anyone that knew. Now it's all caught up with her.
But she's currently in hospital because she's got t3h Covids. What she comes out like (if at all) is going to be a lottery but we did our best. She is somehow very resilient. They told her ten years ago she would die if she started drinking again but she's gotten away with it. She should hit up the tequila with you, bud! God that was a messy evening in London. Wandering around with a bag of vinyl, barely able to stand up, couldn't find my room. I was in the wrong building. Slept through all alarms and missed about 5 calls from Skel. Went to the bathroom to do the old technicolour yawn. Apparently I'd been there before during the night because it was already like an explosion in a soup factory.
Cleaned it up, just caught the train. Realized I'd left all my clothes in the wardrobe. I never got them back. I did however, keep the vinyl on me at all times.
Apropos of nothing - thanks to the Strutmen @ppadilha @billbradley @Electrode for helping out with the offloadings and generally for keeping the Strut forums going, it's the only place I would ever talk this kind of shit on the internet.
