Against my 11yo child. I scored a corner a few weeks ago against my 9 year old. Never even tried to do it before, and am gutted I didn’t practice it as a kid now. He wasn’t remotely impressed.

It is always good to expand your repotoire. I've always fancied taking an Advanced driving course. One of my brothers in law has just completed the latest stage of his Police driver training. He had to be dropped off at a train station near Torquay last night. Of course, I offered to take him. We were a little late in leaving and the sat nav decided it had to take us via the back roads. This resulted in some spirited driving by Leicesters version of Fangio and one suitably impressed Advanced driver. I probably won't need to take the course now. It does take ages to drive from The Midlands to Devon/Cornwall. Once you get here though. Utterly worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Not sure if there's a Lego thread or if it was just mentioned in here but yeah I'm all in on Lego. Specifically the cheap knock off stuff from AliExpress. I've bought fucking shelves for my Lego. Now I want all of it and I'm worried my wife will kick me out because I've got so many packages waiting to be built. It's a proper mad thing to suddenly become obsessed with at my age but it's helping to keep me sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to grow the fuck up and be mad into wrestling like a real man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted August 13 Awards Moderator Share Posted August 13 Just has a call from Crystal Palace’s Box Office. They were ringing to apologise about incorrectly letting me move my season ticket to another seat, which was meant to have been reserved for a club ambassador. To make it up to me, they’ve moved me to a new seat (only two rows back so no biggie), but have given me a 50% discount for the inconvenience. Going to the match is as financially draining as it is emotionally, so this is bloody brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoPistol Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) For the last couple of years I've been writing match reports for my local Non-League club. Safe in the knowledge that no one reads them anyway I decided to talk less and less about the football and more and more about, well, just about anything. Topics have included the dark side of Thomas the Tank engine, misheard lyrics from 1990s Indie bands and why Batman isn't really a superhero. Anyway, I decided to turn some of them into a book on Amazon a few weeks ago, and and now I'm a published author. I won't add the link, but the book is called 'Sometimes I talk about the football' if anyone is interested in a free look at the first report. When that first copy got sold was some feeling ?  Edited August 13 by DiscoPistol facts matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 13 Paid Members Share Posted August 13 That's fantastic, feels great to make that first sale. Also, amazing to find out that Mousehole is a real place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted August 13 Paid Members Share Posted August 13 For the sake of 99p I've just given you a buy on Kindle @DiscoPistol - but just out of interest, see it's Kindle Unlimited at the mo, which I do have currently (on free trial). If I'd read it on there, do you get anything, and if so, what's the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Kindle Unlimited I still get paid by page read (so far as I understand it), and you have the added bonus of returning it once you've worked out that Willand Rovers match reports aren't as exciting as they first seemed ?    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind blown! Yesss, thank you for reminding me of this. He narrated the first few series of Thomas in America, where it was oddly packaged into another show under the title Shining Time Station. I was more mind blown to know Carlin's replacements included Alec Baldwin & Pierce Brosnan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
