Very fortunate to have been to two Wrestlemanias; 22 and 35.
22 was nuts. At the age of 27 I thought I was too old and cool to be caught up with the shouting and chanting, so went in thinking I’d just have a quiet night watching the lads. Got a couple of pints and ended up losing my shit when RVD won MITB.
Fast-forward to the main and I realised this kid in front of me was obsessed with John Cena. Had the full gear and was beautifully engaged. Cheering when his man came out and almost boo-cried when HHH hit the ramp. That was the thing back then, but he got so upset by the booing that him and his old man left before the show finished. I felt really bad when the bell hit as the kid missed seeing his hero win.
35 was brilliant. Older, so I was a lot more wound down for it but still very excited. Met a mate for a pint. Saw a weirdo who thought he was Brock Lesnar.
Had a really good seat but after the pre-show crap when Alexa Bliss introduced Hogan, a few others snarled at me for not standing or applauding. Sorry about that, you daft racists.
Cena coming out to the thuganomics tune was brill. I missed Samoa Joe murdering Rey as I assumed it would go long enough than the time it took me to have a burst.
The Kofi/Bryan match was the highlight.
The place was electric and it went nuts at the finish. I think the night peaked then because as good as it was to see Becky win, everyone was done in after being there for about 8 hours. The bus service being shit in the pouring rain didn’t help.Â
Also, I ran into an arseholed Mick Foley, just off Bleeker Street.
He looked and sounded like he’d been thrown off a big cage.

This thread is a twat.

The War On Drugs announced a mini-tour the other day and we were lucky enough to get tickets for the local Uni. Seen them a few times and they never fail to deliver, so we can’t wait!

As much of a lapsed fan as I am, I’m absolutely loving this lead-up to the big one with Roman and Cody. Regardless of how they got there, they’ve hit the jackpot with the build and I’m really loving the discussion on here.
So we can revisit this on the morning of 8th April when I’ll be celebrating 11 years of no Thatcher, how do you see this going? Fantasy book the hell out of it, if you want.
It’s Rock costing Roman for me.

'Fry-Up of The Year' should be added as a category in the Off-Topic Awards
If we do that, I can guarantee this monstrosity won’t be in the running.
BP, sausage (singular) and beans were top.
You could have hammered nails with the toast, the bacon was definitely found in a bin, a round hash brown is weird and the eggs and tomatoes must have been put on the plate after they fell off a block of flats.
Nova Scotia, Liverpool. 3/10. Crap.

When did this rule start?
In the first year, but it just didn't get enforced last year.

Couple of bits:
Firstly, hopefully the winners of the negative awards will take this in good humour and know this is all just a bit of nonsense on an Internet forum. No malice intended and hopefully it won't deter any of you from continuing to post.
Secondly, you're off your rockers voting for me in those awards. I'm humbled and embarrassed in equal measure, think there are way more worthy winners but it's still lovely. Ta.

A close one right up until the end, but @wandshogun09Â just about nicks it.
Off-topic Poster of the Year
This went right to the wire and in the end, we couldn't separate @FLips and @SuperBacon, who share this year's award.

Two Months at McColls wins for the second year in a row, which basically involved people voting for Two Months at McColls for two years.
Post of the Year
The amazing tale of @Scott Malbranque's colleague was always going to be impossible to top.
Unsung Poster of the Year
@air_raid has a 52% chance of being right and a 48% chance of being wrong but with 28.7% of the votes he takes 100% of the award to finally and deservedly get his flowers.

Thanks to everyone for taking part!

Fyi @Frankie Crisp you have to actually close the poll, not just lock the thread. The polls are still open.
Cheers Chest. Closing the polls individually is a ballache and there's no multi-close feature (unless my permissions aren't right). I grabbed the winners/scores at the time of locking them, so any subsequent votes will be ignored and won't mess things up. Results will be up tonight/tomorrow depending on work nonsense.

Last orders.
There are some close polls and one of the big ones is currently tied; over to you to decide the fate of something the rest of the internet couldn’t possibly ever understand.

Booked all kinds lately. We’ve got The Zutons in a few weeks, in a tiny local venue and gigs are the best in tiny local venues.
After that, it’s Rob Vincent, Kate Nash, Snuff (with @Philo_Vance), then Springsteen in Sunderland and then in London.
Booked that Kendal Calling thing, too, and despite having to buy a ticket that funds Noel Gallagher’s haircuts, there are some boss little bands on the bill that’ll make the fart tent worth it for my significantly better half.
It won’t.

I went to Aiya Napa (I know) when this shite was out and hearing it still gives me Vietnam-like flashbacks of crap shots, getting blisters on my feet and not even getting a cuddle off a girl, let alone copping off.Â

My Mum has a few senior moments and constantly refers to Trent Alexander-Arnold as Terence Trent D’Arby. I didn’t correct her about Sananda Maitreya until Sadio Mane left Liverpool.

I waste far too much time reading this place during my working day!!Â
Same. It’s worrying how muscle memory works as I can open a new tab with the intention to search or go to a specific site, but without realising I just type uk in the address bar, hit enter and I’m here. Must happen a few times a day and it’s been going on for years.
On-topic, it’s Sporcle, Wikipedia, Zombie Cricket and Crystal Palace forums to depress myself further.

Superbowl beers with @Butch2000.
He’s doing a shot, there, shortly after an in-depth conversation about late-80’s Brookside, Grange Hill, Mongo in the HOF, his budgie, my cats and an agreement that we’ll probably get up a week on Tuesday.

Street Art
in Off Topic
Posted
I love it. Not the vandalism stuff, but the pieces that clearly had hours put into them.
Locally, these are some of my favourites. The first one is around the corner from mine and is gigantic.
It overlooks a weird car park but also my local, so I get to see it loads. It’s ace.
Another one is by my office.Â
And then there’s the big one, which has incredible detail.
I’m down in London loads for the footy, so usually walk through Leake Street, by Waterloo station. It’s got wave after wave of brilliant pieces but each time I go, a new piece is being created so I get to see new stuff on the following trip.
This one is just off Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco. It’s wonderful.
Berlin obviously brings stuff to the table.
This one is in New York and I’m love with the detail. It’s unbelievable.
Anyway. Show us your favourite piece of street art. Try to stay away from random graffiti, nobody likes it.
Apart from that.
