Ipswich and Sheffield Utd when being told to start attacking the Blues goal.



Hopefully Blackburn will join this wonderful list.

Rising above pettiness and setting and maintaining healthy boundaries.

Sometimes you’ve just got to leave the “yo” coming at to hang for as long as they continue to disrespect your boundaries. People are probably going to have a negative reaction to your boundaries at-least 2 times out of 5 but everyone has the right to set them, especially with people you don’t owe any kind of involvement with or commitment to (so not family and close friends). It can feel like both a little and a daunting thing to do (setting boundaries) but once it’s set it’s set. Everyone has the right to self-preservation and keeping their dignity in-tact. Self-respect is what it is, not self-absorption. And that holds true no matter how contrary the external opposition is. It’s white noise at that point. You know yourself better than anyone, and you know where the line needs to be drawn, as an individual person. You’ve just got to honour your line, and that’s especially non-negotiable to people who don’t even know you that well or personally to begin with. You don’t owe your acquaintance party-bopper anything.

The pronunciation attempt isn't even close to the actual word.

The freedom strangers who are in their corner minding their business have to just be in more major cities (London, Liverpool, Manchester, etc.) rather than being overly involved with them from afar, unlike places like Chester, which because of that communal tightness are more nosy. A bit of eye-contact and a smile doesn’t go amiss (and a lot of Londoners take that stranger-danger individualism too far in the opposite direction) but … yeah. The converse doesn’t seem that great, either. Total detachment in big cities, pushed too far, can make genuine human warmth scarce, while small-town nosiness can undermine privacy.

Listening to good Music.

It's become such a big part of my life over the last couple of years.

Same !!


Over many , many years though .


My problem now and it is a real problem.. is that I have about 15,000 tracks on my PC all in artist folders.. but I can’t remember all the brilliant, outstanding tracks so one day soon I will have to go through each folder with groups/ singers starting with A and listen to each song then deciding if its good enough to go in a folder for the BEST songs that I will listen to over and over…

Seeing people getting passionate about something makes me smile.

Because it does just feel like most people are scared to come out of their shell in a public setting irl.

So I appreciate it when someone will tell me what their passions are, it makes for interesting conversation imo.

Your side-hustles being given respectful acknowledgment rather-than “why’s he even bothering for such menial money?” throwing it back in your face.
