cisono 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 Just avoid being hit by "loose" golf balls and keep your abdominals in good shape... too many golfers seem to suffer from back pain (and other aches)
Collymore Posted 13 November 2006 Posted 13 November 2006 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. mate, make sure you brush your teeth after drinking red wine, it will stain them for along time otherwise.
The People's Hero Posted 14 November 2006 Author Posted 14 November 2006 mate, make sure you brush your teeth after drinking red wine, it will stain them for along time otherwise. Good advice. Never brush before though, affects the taste.
cisono Posted 14 November 2006 Posted 14 November 2006 mate, make sure you brush your teeth after drinking red wine, it will stain them for along time otherwise. Think I'll stick to whites then!
filbertway Posted 14 November 2006 Posted 14 November 2006 Think I'll stick to whites then! Why not have red then finish with white, best of both worlds and sparkly clean teeth
cisono Posted 14 November 2006 Posted 14 November 2006 Why not have red then finish with white, best of both worlds and sparkly clean teeth OK then let's make it sparkling whites: they should have a better cleaning effect
Rincewind Posted 15 November 2006 Posted 15 November 2006 not a lover of golf but it must be better to play than to watch on the TV.
Manwell Pablo Posted 15 November 2006 Posted 15 November 2006 not a lover of golf but it must be better to play than to watch on the TV. Well it's better to have your teeth drilled by a drunk Chimpanze than watch golf on TV so thats not saying much.
The People's Hero Posted 13 December 2007 Author Posted 13 December 2007 I'm bringing this back as I thought it would be interesting to read it through and see if I'd followed through with any of it? Golf? Nope. Hypnotism? Nope. Archeology? Nope. Hmmm! Maybe next year.....
The People's Hero Posted 13 December 2007 Author Posted 13 December 2007 This hasn't gone down so well second time round.
Raj Posted 13 December 2007 Posted 13 December 2007 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. I have removed you as my facebook friend. No offence like!!!

The People's Hero Posted 10 January 2013 Author Posted 10 January 2013 Just re-read this. Seems whilst everything has changed, nothing has changed. All has changed. All is the same. I still drink too much red wine. I still read a lot. I am still always broke. I still think (and like to think) I like stronger cheddar than I really do. I still forget I don't really enjoy edam. I do however now play a bit of golf (badly) (tick in that box), have made some progress towards writing a bad novel and have made my own (bad) wine. My hairline has receded, my stomach bulged and I've racked up another 11,000 posts. So everything I've added, I've done badly. Hmm. You can add in a wife and a son though. Still can't do hypnosis.
Rincewind Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 Thought I was the boring one with long posts. If there was an award I'd be a contender I'm sure.
The People's Hero Posted 10 January 2013 Author Posted 10 January 2013 I can even make short posts dull. What can I say? Its a gift.
Smudge Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 My opinion hasn't changed I still think it it the most introspective post I've read on here.
Captain... Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 Loved the original post, I'm having more and more days like that, thinking why the fvck am I not doing the things I actually want to be doing.
The People's Hero Posted 10 January 2013 Author Posted 10 January 2013 Loved the original post, I'm having more and more days like that, thinking why the fvck am I not doing the things I actually want to be doing. Work is one thing (I can't be doing with that debate now- but my work is not my passion) But you absolutely must make the most of the spare time you have. I enjoy spending time with my family, which is fulfilling and at times hard work with the boy if he's playing up, but rewarding. But in my free time, I try to indulge my hobbies if I can.
Jon the Hat Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 Lets be entirely clear. There is no such thing as too much red wine, only too much BAD red wine. Must have missed this first time round. And second. Always liked you though, and a great post.
The People's Hero Posted 10 January 2013 Author Posted 10 January 2013 JtH - you probably know a lot more about wine than I (although I have tried). I recently found a deal on HUKD which advised tesco's 3 for £10 wine offer was working with their 25% off if you buy 6 bottles AND that it was taking off 25% off the FULL price of the bottles. It ended up with a £9 bottle of wine (probably closer to £6 normaly) costing me about £1.50 a bottle. I bought almost 100 bottles. I've grown to like it! Hardy's standard (not stamp or crest) - Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinkable. I've been spoilt by good wines, good ports and good gins I occasionally get through work, but I just buy rubbish myself! You're a good egg JtH. Cheers. Lets get together and drink some wine together. I've got a lovely bottle of port if you prefer?
AoWW Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 Whatever happened to this twat? We'd been thinking the same about you!
The People's Hero Posted 10 January 2013 Author Posted 10 January 2013 Bloody hell Lib, how the devil are you? What are you up to these days?
