    I really want to see what a defrosted crisp would be like now. Is there a risk it would turn soggy after defrosting or would the sealed packet keep them safe?

    I fear they would go soggy, but I'm willing to sacrifice a bag for Science. I'll report back in a week

    Elias & Kevin Owens did a promo in Seattle on a random Monday Night Raw in 2018 which got them both insane heat.

    I don’t know what caused it, Elias trashed the town & the local sports team just like most weeks but the crowd reaction was way bigger than he was usually getting.

     

    I may be totally wrong but wasn't the pop due to local sports team being bought by somewhere else...I'm thinking a Wimbledon/MK Dons situation.

  3. Rico, for those chops and that he was a black belt in kenpo karate...not just ordinary karate. Shame to hear about his health issues and I learnt today that he actually trained with Adrian Street on his gimmick.

     

    More Stevie "white socks" Richards love here. Voice full of gravel, snivelling RTC frontman.

     

    Crash Holly (RIP) for no reason other than elevating the 24/7 rule to amazing heights and the "over 400lbs" super heavyweight gimmick.

    Basically anyone not in the musclehead mould with a little bit of colour

  4. Well, have to give at least a passing credit to the Tory machine. They managed to turn this into a psuedo-second referendum, with a perfect storm of the wheels coming off the Corbyn bus.

    I don't do festive as a rule, even less incentive now. Let's see what kind of politician BJ really is now he has his "mandate"...also, right now I hate being a namesake for a previous Labour leader.

  5. Personal opinion: The City of London officer who fired the shots had a split-second to make an assessment. Sees a vest, guy moves, bang. Neutralise the threat. Notwithstanding it being hoax or not, I believe the rules of engagement for police, especially anti-terrorist, is that it is better to shoot dead than to risk more casualties. A bomb going off on the bridge would have meant more lives lost, more damage done, let alone maybe causing structural damage to the bridge itself. 

     

    They would have loved to keep him alive. It will be lauded by extremists as martyrdom-by-cop and it's entirely probable that he wore the vest to ensure he would be taken out and having "died for the cause".

    One other thing comes out of this. There are still ordinary people willing to run towards and fight danger. I hope all involved, police and public, get the recognition they deserve at preventing larger loss of life.

  6. When I was gainfully employed with Tesco, we had a couple of incidents of them fining people in the car park. As it was private property (and not registered as a thoroughfare), they were told to leave by our security and the tickets were dismissed.

    Phase one: discovering new wrestlers in markets outside Japan and developing talent through the LA Dojo.

    Phase two: run events in the US, including at Madison Square Garden and Dallas this year, both independently, and with the assistance of other promotions.  

    Phase three: establish a company within the US, and be ingrained in the everyday fabric when it comes to fans’ wrestling consciousness. 

     

  8. From experience (many years camping at Download - rain and shine), there are on a few definite dos. Most important - don't get fucked before your tent is up. Seen far too many overdo it and fuck themselves up for the weekend. Bring your own loo roll/wet wipes, even if they are well stocked, chances are some feral animal has soaked/ripped/used as wallpaper.. Keep at least a pair of socks/undies bone dry for if you get soaked.

    Different merch stalls have different merch - seems obvious but if you're looking for a smaller band, check the merch stall nearest their stage.

    Use the locker service - it's worth it just for the USB charge port and keeping house keys etc safe.

    Food tip - don't go to the first burger van you see. Portions and quality vary around the village and the arena. Everything from ostrich burgers, Argentine Steak BBQ, falafel through to footlongs and paella is there. Personal recommendation - Chihuahua burritos in the village are filling, and Motley Brew in the arena.is perfect for a cuppa and a biscuit.

    Anything else, drop me a message and I'll help where I can.
