I have that CD so I can add that ya mama also happens to have an afro with a chinstrap
Recently, I have received complaints about the lack of space rock from Didsbury based bands, so let's remedy that. Here you go. I've got both their albums.
"I'm still waiting for him to take 1,000 penalties with his left foot against Mary Earps and score every one of them, as he claimed he could".
Having witnessed the "quality" of his set pieces, I reckon Mearps could sit in a deckchair in the centre circle and read "War and peace" while Barton vainly attempts to put the ball into an empty net.
He had some good games for us when he stuck to what he was good at, being a defensive midfielder, but: - He was nowhere near as good as he thought he was - He disrupted the dressing room - He costs us points every season thanks to the mindless red cards he picked up - He was a violent, nasty individual.
"I simply cannot believe how often this club circles the drain".
Indeed, and as we have seen over the years, a lot of teams which do that in the Championship eventually go down and can take a long time to come back up, if they ever do.
In addition, I can't stop thinking about the time a Serie A team hovered above the relegation zone all season, without ever dropping into it, only to get relegated on the final day.
As a club, we never seen far away from an almighty crisis, too.
Then there's the fact that a lot of players won't even be here next season. What happens if they start 'phoning it in en masse?
I think we have a 95% chance of staying up, but this is Rangers we're talking about, so I am very nervous.
My dad, now no longer with us, God rest his soul, was a goalkeeper who used to take his team's penalties, so he knew what he was talking about, all the more so because he converted all the ones he took .
He was a - - Spurs fan, but never tried to discourage me from supporting Rangers and always showed interest in our results. RIP.
Scotland were defensively sound in the first leg and both teams looked evenly matched.
However, they had an absolute 'mare in the second. They only created two or three chances in the whole game and looked like they could play all day and all night and not score. The Greeks used a high press very effectively and looked very dangerous. They have a 17 year old attacking midfielder called Karetsas who is some player. He scored a beautiful goal from distance, with a first time shot. He plays for Bologna.
Lyndon is out with an injury but he was on pundit duty for both games and did a very good job.
Ah, OK, fair enough. I only know one person who is even aware of them, and he only knew of them because he reads every issue of "Prog" magazine from cover to cover.
While I am here, every album by this now sadly defunct band from Ipswich is great. Beautifully constructed rock, at times eerie, at others pastoral or symphonic.
"In other words ring fence the commitments owners make so that the club can never run out of money".
This is a good idea, but - sigh - I doubt it will ever happen. I know it's a different scenario but if you operate a mine in Canada, you are legally required to provide a (monetary) bond up front for restoring the land once your operations have ceased. This means that if you go bust, there are still funds for a cleanup.
Some of Tesseract's stuff is utterly sublime, like this track. Staccato riffs, pretty atmospheric, almost ambient at times, but still heavy, with quality singing. They really know how to create tension. File under djent / progressive metal, I'd say.
So, I'm standing in a small queue at the local library, waiting to be served, and the librarian - who was very helpful, by the way - turned to me and said: "I'll be with you in a moment, you are obviously here to get a bus pass".
Many years ago, I organised a company event at the Savoy Grill, one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurants.
Now, in its defence, it hadn't long opened, but the service was poor. First World problems and all that, but although the plated main courses arrived in good time, of the veg, there was no sign. We all stared at the food for about 10 minutes, then shrugged our shoulders and got stuck in.
A sheepish looking waitress arrived with the veg shortly afterwards, by which time, we'd almost finished. To be fair, all the food was decent, but I can well imagine some of the precious celebrity judges on "Great British Menu" describing it as the worst thing ever.
Cards on the table, I am a big Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall fan
Recently, Mrs R from Afar and I were on holiday in Dorset, very close to River Cottage HQ. I decided we should pop along for coffee and cake, but when we headed off, I was full of trepidation.
The reviews were mixed and I feared an illusion-shattering experience, but luckily, it was a very positive moment.
The coffee was the best I've had in the UK, the wholemeal scones had been warmed and were utterly delicious, as was the pear frangipane tart. Everything was well laid out and well signposted and the staff were polite and efficient. There were great views too, the place is located on top of a ridge, with the distant sea to one side and the Devon hills to the other.
Price wise, it was on a par with cafes in nearby Lyme Regis.
