Frankie Crisp

Have a fry-up.

@Frankie Crisp I'm hoping to get this done in the next day or two.

I didn't see a cut off point in the opening post.

When do people need to complete to get into your data set?

Going to keep it open for a good month or so; the infrequent posters might pop in.

@Frankie Crisp this is a great idea.

 But honestly you’re asking for too much info.  I’m on page two and already you could easily identify me (type of car lol) and therefore know my salary, home town, age and all sorts of stuff.

I appreciate we can skip some questions but I’m instinctively not comfortable with this amount of personal info and I think that might dissuade people from finishing the form.

Appreciate that, Loki. I’m not going to hunt you down in your Rolls Royce and none of the info will be shared, but I 100% get your concerns. I tried to balance it so we can know more about the community but yeah, some of the questions may not feel appropriate to some.

I’m pleasantly surprised at the response rate so far - just under 30 in a few hours - but there’s a mixed bag of questions answered and left blank. That said, there’s already enough of a mix to give us a good set of data.

Feel free to skip the serious ones and just fill in the more generic/interest-related stuff.

I know the internet can always be the grenade under the bed, but hopefully forum users have enough trust in me that I’ll never share the data nor use it for anything other than the collective results.

Right. I’m going to get ribboned for this, but I don’t care. This was absolutely delicious.

Went out to a quaint little bistro for Mother’s Day brekkie and had their main offering. Sure, it’s not something Ian Beale would slide on to your table, but I want to go back and have it again.

Clockwise, it’s home-made beans, crispy bacon, a gorgeous, fat sausage*, a big plum tomato, peppered hash browns, whipped black pudding**, then in the middle some perfect scrambled eggs sat on toasted sourdough. Could have lived without the green shit.

I can’t stop thinking about it. 9/10.

*don’t
**I know

For willy size, it's not giving me the option of over 12 inches Frankie. Please advise.

I’ll use your answer for ‘how long do you spend on the forum each week’ and will buy you a wheelbarrow for when you need to go out.

Hello! So, I floated the idea of this around awards season and enough people seemed on board for me to crack on with the first UKFF Census.

The intention is to learn more about what makes up our wonderful corner of the internet; it's got the boring stuff like age, height, ethnicity plus a few more varied questions to understand our interests, habits and lifestyles. 

Where possible, I've used validated drop-downs to help with the consistency of the results, but in those cases there's also an 'other' option so not to restrict more obscure or rare responses. There are also plenty of free-text answer types as the drop-downs would have been too long or impossible to create. For gender, I've gone with a free-text option as I don't want anyone to feel marginalised if their identified gender isn't on the list. For questions where the response options will vary from country to country, I've also used free-text so we don't exclude Irish, Australian and Vietnamese members.

I would ask that for free-text questions, you use correct spelling and avoid abbreviations, as it'll help massively when I'm putting the responses and results together.

For the 'favourites', your responses don't need to be related, so you can have Tom Cruise even if you went with an Alfred Hitchcock film.

It's completely anonymous (you don't need to give your name or even username), there's no IP tracking and there are no mandatory questions, so you can skip anything that's not relevant or you don't feel comfortable sharing. It's important to note that individual responses won't be shared - just the collective results - and once those have been shared, the underlying data will be digitally torched. 

There were originally 100+ questions but some may have been seen as intrusive and it would have turned people off given how long it would have taken to complete, so the final version should only take 5-7 minutes to complete. Again, feel free to skip anything you'd rather not share but hopefully we'll get enough responses to give us some interesting results. There'll be interactive charts and everything.

So, if you fancy it, you can access the form using the below link or QR code (it's laptop and mobile friendly):

UKFF Census 2024

I appreciate we might get the odd berk try to ruin it with stupid answers; I'll try to spot and ignore them but if not, hopefully the genuine responses will outweigh them enough to give us an accurate representation of those who take part.

Hope enough people take part for us to look back on this in ten years when we absolutely, definitely won't still be posting on here.

I’m a Seth Rollins Guy would be worse than that.

Sorry about that.

As if you’ve not caused enough mental battery, you’ve just quoted my spelling mistake. Going to have to watch Deep Blue Sea to get over it.

The local Picturehouse had a screening of The Thing on Friday and bloody hell, it was just so good to watch after so many years.

Kurt Russell is obviously the star of the show and whilst most cast members deliver a great showing, Wilford Brimley had me smiling from ear-to-ear. I’d somehow forgotten how good he was in this getting more and more unhinged.

One of the aspects I love about the film is the lack of build-up/suspense in some scenes - they just go straight into the ‘fucking hell, that’s grim’ - but then there’s perfect suspense in other scenes when you’re waiting for something to make you jump, but it doesn’t happen. You just don’t know what’s coming next and the story is so much better for it. It’s a 5-star film and I’m annoyed with myself for waiting so long to watch it again.

I’ve also watched 13 shark films in the last few weeks with an average of 2.1/5. Without Jaws and Jaws 2, that average would be 1.77/5 so I’ll understandably not waste my time reviewing them. Just don’t watch Maneater. It’s worse than Joel Ward.

The UKFF’s favourite and rightly so. I’ve just had an 8-10 minute discussion as to why this is incredible.

Paul Pogba’s drug testing case has been completed. What a, well, dope.

I remember seeing him in 2011 thinking he had the potential to be a top-drawer player but it’s ended like this (he might play in the death league when the ban lifts, but this is effectively the end of his career).

Graeme Souness must have needed a lie down when he found out. That blood isn’t going to redirect itself.

Great shot. Can I get geeky and ask what you used?

Just my phone! 

Very lucky to have seen the sights of Reykjavik and its surrounding areas over the last week. Too many photos to bore you all with, but this one was a case of right time, right place, click.

Off-topic post nominations from now on; there’s now an On-topic thread for sweaty people in kecks posts.

It’s more a collection of posts than it is one post in isolation, but @Hernan’s efforts in the ‘What should be entrance music, but isn’t?’ thread are surely worth of recognition; sharing sometimes very obscure examples of when the songs we’ve suggested were used as entrance themes.

You can read one of these posts here - huge credit to Herman for the work that has gone into these.

A good recommendation from @air_raid in the post-awards chat, so this is the thread to nominate your wrestling posts of the year.

We’ve had one already nominated in the original thread on the other side of the fence which I’ll add as a second comment for anyone who wants to upvote it.

Just heading back from Iceland and I’ll keep the theme going, based on whatever the hell has gone on here since I last posted.

That mushroom hovered over New York in Independence Day and no beans in a fry-up is a disgrace. Who cremated those sausages? Who put mayo on your toast? Was the tomato even introduced to the kitchen?

My run of form is awful, but bloody hell.

1/10.
