Tommy!

Thanks for the graph that proves my point

like questioning why a London cafe fry up doesn’t have a square sausage on a plate

In this analogy you'd argue square sausage isn't common in Britain because you don't see it about. At least keep your point consistent.

Clearly German style aren't the standard in the UK.

Apart from in lidl and aldi, which are apparently now 2 of the largest supermarkets in the country.

No, I'm saying if AEW & WWE weren't coming over they wouldn't be doing this at all

 

Couldn't disagree more, if they wanted to squeeze money out of them they'd have been doing it years ago. WWE also stopped running some US states for TV and PPV because of taxes until they were given an exception so if they felt "ripped off" they'd just run elsewhere and cut their nose.

But how was the rest of your stay at Butlins?

It should just have pictures.

Off topic but my favourite takeaways are the ones where the board is just pictures with 1 line of text but the badly translated text doesn't quite match the picture.

the menu

Alright posh-o, with your menus and clean cutlery.

It should just say "full English" on a chalk board in barely legible scrawl.

To follow on from my last post we unfortunately lost ours, the medication gave here 6 weeks which we made the most of but ultimately her heart wasn't good and she started to get uncomfortable and we didn't want her to suffer.

Now I should be posting a photo of our new ones, after a number of visits I was due to pick up from the center today but on arrival I found out one of them has apparently eaten some meds and been taken off for assessment, so I'm now waiting to see if he'll make it through or not. Honestly it didn't sound good reading between the lines and I'm really crushed. 😔

That's not going to help at all.

I've just found out I've not booked a parking pass for download, do they do pay on the day or am I going to need to find another option getting there?

Yeah, so much so you don't really need to imply anything untrue about him to make that point.

Think I first met Ligero (Simon Bongeye as we called the miserable sod later) in 2007. He used to date one of the Blossom Twins and they worked his merch table and he was really weird about us chatting to them getting merch. Looking back I really don't wanna research how old was who in all that.

Based on the ever trustworthy wiki and 2007 as a date he'd be 22 she'd be 19, for what it's worth. Nothing inherently odd there to be honest.

I've been to "call of the wild", nice small and laid back much like last year. 

Again went in knowing 3 bands but Solitary were fantastic, as we're Tailgunner. King Kraken and black spiders were great too.

Terrorvision were amazing again, I can't stand them when I've tried listening to stuff on YouTube I somehow have amazing fun live. Their saxophonist "saxylizbeth" is also definitely one for the less commercial/ conventional thread.

Wasn't it there last year tons of shit got nicked, I'm sure someone from here had thier phone taken and said the places was littered with discarded cases from others.

Safest looking was always bam bams I've thought, there seemed to be no inertia there at all. It's like the laws of physics took a day off for him.

Is this him trying to distance himself from it by feigning outrage and attempting to distance himself from it? 

Next he'll cook an old man a big roast chicken.

he was generally liked by most people and considered to be a relatively quiet, unassuming family man. 

In wrestling though, which sets the bar lower than an ants nutsack. Him wanking in the wardrobe or making people squat until they start pissing wasted muscle tissue was "just a laugh", much like others being cunts.

Spotted El Ligerio at Ricky Gervais in Leeds last night. (no mask on) Looked well miserable 😄

Completely off topic but I was at a show once when someone I knew was asked to drop something to him while people fucked off to tescos. When they asked how to spot him without the mask and in his trackies they were told to look for the bloke with a face like a bag of spanners.

I detect a thread split on the horizon. Did anyone have local historical stuff that was incorporated into their curriculum? I think anyone who went to school in Cov paid a visit on a school trip to Lunt Roman Fort!

Is there much room for local history on the curriculum? 

I'm from just down the road and despite the town having a castle and warrick also being a joyride away we'd go on a trip to Ashby castle and have to write an essay on why it's not actually a castle.

I can only assume it was cheaper.

it might have been a choice between that and American history, which really didn't amount to much more than old wild west clichés about how Native Americans "used every bit of the buffalo".

Off topic but we didn't get a choice at GCSE and did the American West and history of medicine.

The American West was a lot on "manifest destiny" as a term but not enough on wider American colonization, from Jamestown and mayflower, and expansion west or land deals like the Louisiana purchase, but there was loads on sod buster plows and cowboys actually being sunburnt.

I don't think we even covered some of the first western expansion trails or Lewis and Clark.

I've read more on American history in the last year or two than for that A.
