Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I've eliminated the multiple posts where I've seen them, and where comments on their appearances do not become irrelevant. It appears the server is having a few moments. Go easy.

 

Bit of shameless self-publication, but I've just had my first article for my student newspaper published. Thought it would be worth a mention here, because of course, Saints were mentioned, favorably.

Used to buy the GREEN ONE ( I asked the question not GBS ) May well start getting it again

 

Ha, yeah, I spend a good 10 minutes waiting in Woking every fortnight.

I think it is, I've never actually been there, we tend to frequent just 2 or 3 clubs in town (because they're not a long walk) before heading back to the SU so I can't say for sure

 

Oh no, don't, it's bloody awful!

 

Absolutely, yes. I actually wrote for a US Nascar magazine about F1, but I won't link you to that because it's been terrible recently!

 

They all are! At least, the ones I've been in anyway. Legion, Casino, Spoons, Flares... probably a couple more. None of them are good.

 

I actually went on a couple of dates with a young lady from Guildford quite recently - first time I'd been back there for quite a few years, and couldn't believe how utterly dead it was.

 

Any particular favourite drivers you'd like to go all the way to F1?

I used to watch a lot of NASCAR actually, but it just became a massive chore to watch for like 200 laps when barely any overtaking happened.

 

My History teacher quoted Gordon Strachan today. That's a first...

 

-DTLW isn't a stranger to that, so I'll read it, St Birdsnest, even if everyone else has ignored it.

I enjoyed it. A very balanced article that doesn't set out to damn all others in favour of Saints.

 

Server playing up again, so I've been away and come back with some mysterious news:

Thing is, is everyone hearing this bar me ? I've a bit of high pitched whistling tinnitus that is a constant companion, but none of this.

Anyone else ?

 

How bizarre! I know that would drive me insane. Glad I don't live in the area.

 

Next time best to make sure that said Tory has not secretly recorded the meeting in which the stitching up will actually take place. Still, lesson learned I'm sure

 

I don't know anything about that but if all your TV's break in about December, then that will be because of my group design project. Sorry in advance.

 

And lastly...big chunk of space rock. Cool.

Good find Qwerty. One of two videos I've been searching for, on/off all afternoon. Here's the other - JWP's excellent free-kick against Lithuania:

Notice how excited his teammates are about it.

Thanks TSS, I missed JWP's goal last night, although I caught all the others before I had to go down the pub to watch the Poland game. We have some seriously good players in the U21's, notably Berahino, Morrison, and JWP himself. Very exciting for the future.

 

Are you going to create an experimental pinch, just like the one in Ocean's Eleven..?
