Your post got me reflecting about the idea of introducing alcohol to kids at an earlier age then maybe we do, and introducing it as an accompaniment to food, rather then something to get smashed on. Maybe fostering a healthier relationship with alcohol then possibly I've had. My first real introduction to alcohol was at primary school age. I would sleep over at a friend's house, his mum and dad would go out for the evening and we would help ourselves to his dad's homebrew. We were sensible enough not to get ourselves absolutely smashed. We moved to the Isle of Man when I was 13 - this place was known as '50,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock in the Irish Sea', and by God, it was. My first appearance in court for alcohol related stuff was at 15 or 16. Alcohol, drugs, punk and QPR were my life til I had kids and learnt about responsibility. I suppose I should say how vacuous it all was, but truth is, l loved those days. I'm very aware I have to be careful around alcohol, though.
Yeah, I fell asleep around the 60th minute. Qualifiers are so boring now there are so many groups, so many qualifiers to the finals, and so many teams aiming to qualify through play offs etc and whose sole intent against the ranking team is to keep the score down. I fully get it from their point of view, but it makes it boring for the ranking team.
Oh god, the Al Murray thing, rich bloke taking the piss out of the working class, annoys me hugely. My wife loves 'we have ways...' podcast, and to be fair I enjoy it if finding both presenters annoying, and so when she saw Al Murray pub landlord is coming over, she got us tickets, as a treat.....
Pretending to be a gardener while we pay for the two gardeners who actually look after the house he moved to when his theatrical jewellery business collapsed (which is a hardy perennial story of his, appearing without fail every spring), and his nepotistic mates at the beeeeeeb gave him a job he did not deserve or have the ability to do. Stealing other people's wives on the way. Banging on about climate change and then telling us he flies to warmer climes all the effing time. Rich, entitled twit who loves to dress up in faux Italian peasant attire while fawning to wealth.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the long throw routine, in Jimmy Dunne we've probably got the best player in the air in the division, we've got Frey etc, so having the right players, it's a valid tactic. The throw in routine just allows us to move everything into position. Like Arsenal and their corners. It's not the throw in's, it's that we don't create enough aside from them.
"There are known knowns. These are things that we know that we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we know we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know that we don't know"
