PSJ.84 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 8 hours ago, BTFD said: I just noticed that. They're a massively underachieving big club that now has resources to rival anyone. At least Leicester had just been a bog standard average English league club before money arrived. Newcastle are one of the richest clubs in Europe, that they managed to finish third in the Premier League is a decent achievement, but way short of a fairytale. Money obviously doesn’t guarantee success but they’ve spent about £400m on players since the new owners arrived. I think only Chelsea better that? Who knows what the f**k Chelsea are up to though. If Leicester hadn’t won the league in 15/16 but still qualified for the Champions League, I’d still be willing to accept that being a fairytale. Shite before winning the league and shite immediately after, so it at least had that once in a generation/lifetime element to it. Newcastle are most likely here to stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to buy a USB cable to connect to my earphones. I bought my Mrs a google pixel 7 just before going on holiday, she picked up new earphones for on the plane, I asked if she wanted a set of bluetooth ones "no I prefer wired ones" only to realise on the plane that there is no headphone jack. Had to share my earphones with her, raging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 My workmate just bought a packet of Christmas themed Pigs in Blankets flavoured crisps (he claims he likes them, I think he's OFTW). The best before date is in November... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local dog park has a sign on the entrance gate saying ‘Please leave the park cleaner than you found it’. Yeah, nah, I don’t think I’ll be cleaning up other dog’s shit thanks very much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Has anyone else’s fire alarm gone off for no reason in middle of night and only for a matter of seconds before? This happened last night and was terrifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened last night and was terrifying. Used to happen, not necessarily at night, when we had battery operated ones and usually meant battery needed replacing. Our new alarms will go off occasionally on a cold day if there’s too much steam from having too hot and too long a shower or cooking something that involves a lot of boiling or burning toast etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Brazil Forever Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Ho hum. A kind of typical morning - the wind has dropped, the sun is shining, a phone call from my Bank Security Department (tel number 01622758073), 2 Emails with urgent package delivery notifications, signing on to P & B only to find V T full of his usual piss and vinegar. Oh, and a PTTGOYN thread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why I was aggressively dragged out of my bed by the ankles the night before I suppose. I was wondering what that was 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the batteries are low a drop in temperature can set them off apparently, that or your kid having a sneaky smoke or vape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be it as it’s certainly dropped. Kids aren’t smoking yet as they’re 2 and 5. Nobody was cooking in kitchen for hours before so there was no smoke we were all in bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Even though I know they're not, my brain keeps telling me that the Broomloan and Copland stands are at the east and west sides of Ibrox, respectively. It's the only ground I 'see the wrong way around' on TV, and normally I'm able to point north at any given location. I think I presumed the away fans were put into the SE when I watched as a kid, and it's evidently stuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived within sight of the stadium my entire life and I only realised two weeks ago that it's Copland, not Copeland. I'm adamant it got changed and everybody's lying to me. Like Walkers changing the colours of salt and vinegar/cheese and onion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
