The People's Hero Posted 9 November 2006 Posted 9 November 2006 Thought I'd have one final meandering post chock full of pointless musings, witless observations, characterless tasteless attempted humour and TPH manual about what to like and what to think. Almost bottle of rioja suggests I'll enjoy this more than anyone reading it. Fezzler's earlier suggestion of a cheeseboard has been taken up. I only have two cheeses though. One extremely mature cheddar which I don't like and one bit of edam which doesn't seem to taste of anything. Still, whilst swirling my wine in this oversized, bulbous wine glass, i feel quite distinguised. Chulchad in fact. So cheese it is. With bread this time. Not crackers/biscuits. Bread is more decadent. From Europe too (France in fact) - See? Continental, brusque, decadent, indulgent and culchad. Anyway... I was thinking the other day about what I'd do if I had a load of money. I'd just had a cracking hot bath, a lovely close shave, I'd picked up a book and was really enjoying it, comfortable in bed, unencumbered by clothes, worries or anything else and I just thought, this is great. Sigur Ros (Glosoli at the time) was playing fairly softly in the background and (as I quote often do) I had a lovely glass of merlot on the go. I thought other than having a loved one there with me, I was as comfortable and as happy as was possible. I thought, in fact, that, in a selfish way, having someone else there might have ruined it a little. Anyway, I finished off the wine, finished the book and dropped off to sleep. It was the best sleep ever. The next morning I felt great. So I got back to thinking today when I was moaning about being broke about the money thing. What would I do if I had a lot of money. I'd like to own a place in the country somewhere and put something back in to what I enjoy. That'd probably involve making wine (bad wine I'd have thought) and writing a book (probably cr ap) and recording an album or at least writing one. This would also be awful, obviously. It'd be great though, the process would be enjoyable and the end product, would, for me, be it's own reward. Perhaps the money would be better put to use to book a session of hypnotherapy, with, Paul, McKenna, to, stop, me, putting, commas, everywhere. I've also recently been desperately trying to invent something. It's something of an ambition of mine. Another is to learn to hypnotise people. I have myself pretended to be hypnotised before. I wasn't hypnotised though. Having said that, I was extremely, extremely relaxed. I've also been wanting for a long time, to try golf. Why do we never do these things? I also vowed, when a friend of mine died, who had been teaching me about wine, that I would endeavour to learn about wine in the future. I've bought books, I haven't done this. Why do we never do the things we really want to do? Why do I spend my weekends drinking cr ap beer in the local with a bunch of other pissheads or watching City or whatever? I should be doing what I feel I want to do, wine tasting, playing golf, learning hypnosis, inventing - learning to dance, there is another one. And cooking. I'm good at cooking, but I'd like to learn more. To learn from the best. This is a really indulgent post. If you're still reading now. Well done. Last time I was in Leicester, I let a few people down I was supposed to meet. I felt really bad about it. It all came about because my mobile ran out of battery. That is sad. Such dependence. I didn't have any phone numbers written down and no other way of contacting those people at the time. What did people do before we had the damn things? What about Leicester City? I've thought about this a lot recently. Nowadays the board, the players, the manager, they come and go. So temporary. Nowadays we can't even identify with them like under MON. They are not here for 4 or 5 or 6 years, far from it. Doesn't it make supporting a club seem a little hollow? I mean I know we are supporting the club itself... not necessarily the individuals representing it at the time... but in that way, our club is no different from Forest/Derby etc. It's just branded in a different colour. I suppose in fact the difference is the history.. the continuation just isn't there though... I sometimes just feel a bit cheated by the whole affair. It's when you obviously care so much more than the XI on the pitch... Just thought of another thing I'd love to do. An archaeological dig. Who's with me? Let's do it. I'll lead it, you lot dig. Crazy, kooky jumpers are a must. I'll describe everything you find as 'quite old', 'it's a right bit of pokeytackle that..' I met Mick Aston and Tony Robinson and Carenza and Phil once. Talk about an anti-climax. Bit like this post I suppose. So do I bother with 10k? I don't think I can do it justice... Quick edit... I'd also love to be great at public speaking. Imagine that. Or a professional darts player. Amazing. What annoys me a lot is people who qualify almost every sentence with the word 'practically' or 'literally'. I also hate it when people say 'pacific' instead of 'specific'.... grrrr.
Smudge Posted 9 November 2006 Posted 9 November 2006 Geez, Jimbo, that's the best thing I have read in this forum.
The People's Hero Posted 9 November 2006 Author Posted 9 November 2006 Geez, Jimbo, that's the best thing I have read in this forum. Thankyou.
Louise Posted 9 November 2006 Posted 9 November 2006 Geez, Jimbo, that's the best thing I have read in this forum. Have to agree with that.
cisono Posted 9 November 2006 Posted 9 November 2006 Great post, TPH You definitely have a variety of interests and certainly do your share of thinking. What hit me about your long post was that it read like a stream of consciousness... that could just as well have been mine! And you posted it even though you previously declared that, in order to be cool, you need to post witty one liners! Surprises are never ending when you are around

Master Fox Posted 10 November 2006 Posted 10 November 2006 That's a very mature, thoughtful and intriguing post from TPH. He's a very deep and openly caring gentleman that enjoys cultured hobbies. A sort of Mark Harris if you like.
Guest Posted 10 November 2006 Posted 10 November 2006 Ok. You can be Carenza. I'm so excited! I've been out to look for a paint brush and a trowel!
The People's Hero Posted 10 November 2006 Author Posted 10 November 2006 I'm so excited! I've been out to look for a paint brush and a trowel! Coooorrr... that's a right bit of pokeytackle that is. 20th Century cheming gum wrapper if I'm not mistaken!
Guest Posted 10 November 2006 Posted 10 November 2006 Coooorrr... that's a right bit of pokeytackle that is. 20th Century cheming gum wrapper if I'm not mistaken! I can't make up my mind if this piece is here is some 15th century pottery or a section of an adult human clavicle.

The People's Hero Posted 12 November 2006 Author Posted 12 November 2006 Update. I've arranged for some bare-faced golfery.
Rincewind Posted 13 November 2006 Posted 13 November 2006 Good post there TPH. And to avoid using textspeak was a bonus. You do not mention as one of your ambitions saving mankind from self-destruction. I would be very impressed if you could acheive that and you would get bmy vote at the next Best Poster of the year awards. Raise your glasses to TPH. Cheers.
The Reverend Posted 13 November 2006 Posted 13 November 2006 Mate, if you play golf it'll be one of the most fulfilling and fun experiences. Its brilliant to play, to enjoy yourself, but most of all see yourself improve at the game. Oh and the 19th hole isnt too bad either! If you decide to play regularly you will be hooked for life i guarantee it
