Goldberg is fit for about as many matches as Wilson is a year, so why not.

Absolutely buzzing. Obviously I'd rather a less dodgy regime in charge but as a wrestling fan I'm used to enjoying(?) the product of a bunch of horrible cunts.

Newcastle takeover: Saudi Arabian-backed deal is close

The cynic in me says it's still not happening and we're stuck with Ashley, Bruce and impending relegation, the optimist in me has put the cans in the fridge.

Did they just do a title change to get people watching the start of Cody's reality show?

I've been in the exact same situation with an ex, it lasted a few months then went spectacularly to shit. Run to the hills mate.

Pretty much the exact same thing happened the one time I went to Download in 2006, that was Hell. 

It's a very British thing, I've been to festivals all over Europe and Download and Bloodstock are the only places I've seen any aggro.

You know, I was going to point out the number of "shits". I wonder if that was the most times the word "shit" was said on a single episode of a major US wrestling television show?

It's a solid "meh" from me so far.

Shame they've moved as I prefer Leeds, but it was always going to happen eventually. Sad to no longer be able to scran pasties on the way to The Fenton between bands.

That does my head in, I get loads every week!

Anyone that doesn't find that bit emotional is dead inside.

My landlord is shite, no real surprise there. The house is divided into three flats, I live on the ground floor, my girlfriends flat is half the upstairs and the attic, and the remaining flat (Flat 2) is occupied by a lad I don’t know and haven’t said much to over the couple of years he’s lived here

Like most small minded petty individuals, bin wars with the neighbours keep me occupied. We have 3 household waste bins because there are three households. The neighbours have one because it’s their house. Anyway, flat 2 never uses his bin so when the neighbours have filled theirs, they use his, usually without asking. 
 

All the electrical stuff is in the basement and because the way into the basement is in my flat, I have to deal with meter readings and work being carried out. I know it’s illegal but because I’m dole scum unfit for work I don’t want to rock the boat. 
 

All the fuse boxes needed replacing as they weren’t compliant, so over the course of three weeks, the three flats were being upgraded. Ours were done, which left flat 2 to be done yesterday. I overheard the electrician say he was going to get the key from the landlord to let himself in. This wasn’t on and breaks a few laws so I collared mr flat 2 on his way out at the weekend to ask if the landlord had been in touch about it. He hadn’t and he looked visibly shaken by the news that someone was going to let himself in. 
 

Come Monday, a plasterer came round to fix the part of the ceiling that fell down 18 months ago and to repair the wall that the damp had crumbled back to the brickwork. As I say I don’t want to rock the boat as getting evicted could end me. The electrician turned up as well saying he was here for flat 2 so I assumed he’d been in touch to sort out when to do the needed work. 
 

Nah, he hadn’t been in touch and just let himself in. He came out after half a minute and looked shell shocked. Remember I said the guy never uses his bin?  That’s because all the rubbish was in his flat, not in bags just piled three feet high everywhere. There was a little path where you could see the floor but it was some serious Mr Trebus shit going on. Landlord came round (first time in a few years), looked crestfallen and fucked off again. Today the landlord taped and envelope to flat 2s door and gave me an envelope to hand to him. I know what that means. He’s being evicted. 
 

I really feel for the guy, not only must there be a mental health thing going on but I know he wasn’t given notice of the visit and they gained entry illegally. You can’t just evict someone because they’re a hoarder, but I don’t think it counts as hoarding because it was all rubbish. Still at least I know where the mice infestation over the summer originated from. 
 

TL;DR. Shit landlord let himself in to the neighbours flat, saw it was filled with garbage piled high in every room and surface so is evicting him. 

Is he renting privately? My other half works for the CAB and this is what she reckons based on your post: http://imgur.com/a/4D5pxEX

TL;Dr they can kick him out unless the landlord can be seen actively neglecting certain things, and even then it's not guaranteed

I'd go for Mercyful Fate, but I'll be seeing them at Brutal Assault 2020 2021 2022 the same weekend

Erm.. Cradle are good again? It'sbeen a while since I've listened to anything new tbh, but they fell pretty far into shite at one point.

 

Their last 2 albums are really good and worth checking out.

Their most recent album was pretty good IMO, but DMDS is so far above everything in between there's no point in bothering with any of it.

Bloody Hell, never thought this would make a return. Probably can't get away with making Hayabusa WWE champ in 2021 though.

When I did it, it let me know if there were other appointments available at my chosen centre before I cancelled my existing one. It's worth checking out.

Just brought my second jab forward from 13/8 to 28/7. Didn't know we could do that, cheers!

I've seen a couple of anti-lockdown/Covid is a hoax/5G protests in Newcastle in recent months and there are a lot of the old punk and hippy burnout types involved.

I had my first dose of Pfizer 2 days ago and I have had 2 nights of mad dreams since. Could just be coincidence, but I rarely dream anything.

You'd just end up with a lot more people sitting in catering each week.

The new Ruins Of Beverast album is fantastic, though - some really chilling atmospheric doom, one of those albums where the "heaviness" almost creeps up on you as you get lost in the sound.

I may need to give it another go but I thought this was a big step down from the previous two, with only Kromlech Knell being memorable. A couple of my mates love it though so maybe it's just me.

Metal-archives.com have changed all bands profile pictures to cats for April fools. The ones for Iced Earth and Burzum are winning for me so far.

I've spent ages going through this this morning, some of them are fantastic. Must've been some effort to put together!

A bunch of my mates will be heading down to Damnation but there just wasn't enough to tempt me. Sylvaine and High Command were the only ones I haven't seen before of interest so I've opted to do Perturbator in Glasgow that day instead.

If they can work just as effectively from home, then why should they go back to the office?

Do you think they buttered the weetabix first? I had a mate when I was younger whose dad would butter weetabix. 

A mate of mine does this. He's also just said he'd try the beans thing, sick bastard.

Download attendees moaning about bookings isn't new. The one time I went (2006) there were loads of people complaining because Prodigy were playing.
