I do say. Brushed every (open)day, blocked and ironed twice a week, pro cup balls polished weekly. Yes need to be a member, process is trivial, ~£40 a year, and ... pool is free! No real ale, but you can't have everything.
1. AFL. There's a glorious window March & April where footbal codes overlap. 2. Snooker. Add the wold championship to the window above. Best time of year. For those looking for local (Hammersmith) tables check out the Chiswick Memorial Club. I have the occasional knock there. 3. Pool. Hammersmith Club (Rutland grove) has probs the best tables in West London. Sadly soured on cricket due to pjamaisation and the horrible commercialisation that comes with it. Bullshit walkout music etc. Ruined even the beauty of test cricket for me (and Smith/Waner). Should get back into it.
Dunno if I've shed a tear to this, probably. Usually gets played late into a session. Hadn't seen this comp. from BGP until searched for the track. Perhaps a fathers day request :)
Fun fact: I met Gil on my first unforgettable night in NYC
London traffic is terrible and it's flat, so great for bikes. More bikes generally correlates to less traffic and other positive externalities, so I'm all for it.
Bike culture in London is the worst I've seen though, particularly with red lights. Diving culture is surprisingly good compared to other countries I've lived in. Although it's pretty rare I don't see a car run a red light at any intersection I approach.
Loads of public situations where people behave poorly e.g. - drivers deliberately being in the wrong lane at an intersection so you can cut in late (in an out of top of Fulham Palace Road takes the cake) - pedestrians not sticking to the left on the footpath (actually any organised system would do rather than the time consuming chaos)
Ultimately, morons are everywhere, London is a big city ... lots of morons. Do what you can to be safe, try and change things by setting a good example, and keep a PMA.
What was the date of the post? Before noon yesterday? Hope it's not true. Tend to be finishing a beer during match downtime these days so haven't seen much of Jude's moves this season
Yep, I'm amazed by what Marti has done. Jan signings massive and really positive players. Also less frequent injuries and suspensions to key players has helped a lot.
Getting the most out of players and the encouraging their development and drive is the biggest for me though. Hopefully players looking to move clubs will now see us as a better ranking destination.
Wow, I've just seen my lyrical antithesis... that's awesome! You're definitely not alone though Colin.
There used to be a great alt. country show called "Acid Country" on PBS (Melb) that opened with a comedy/country song of the same name. Summed up the attitude and always made me smile. The best line was "Excuse me while I kiss the sky/I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die."
ISTR seeing footage of Blondie doing an in store appearance at one of these in Notting Hill? Lots of kids. I think they left Clem Burke behind when the tour bus drove off :)
Truly vinyl is very expensive. My eyes water now when I look at the price of some new found "must have" and I think back to the days of my youth picking up classics for just a few $AU at record fairs in the late 80s early 90s.
I'm an acquirer not a collector. I've always defined a collector as someone that is obsessive about owning everything from an artist or group. e.g. multiple releases, Jap. or US imports, even if they are the same. I'm not really fussed about definitive collections.
Ah, thanks for posting this, we were wondering what the tribute was at 14th minute. Those around me looked up at the screen for some context but there was no indication there. Perhaps they gave directions before the players came on the pitch?
