From the recent trainers thread:

I’m the same age as you and recently needed some new trainers. The wife and kids were hounding me to buy something trendy but I settled on a pair of Sketchers because they had memory foam and felt really comfortable. They all made it clear that they won’t be seen out in public with me wearing them but fvck em. I like them 

 

 

Boom.

I have a real beef about the UK quarantine rules when returning from certain destinations so I thought I’d look at Centre Parcs (not that I’d ever go) for an idea of costs to go there, my good lady and I could stay for a week in Sherwood Forest from Oct 5th for the grand total of £3798!

 

It's only a middle class Butlins, ridiculous price.

Pre-covid you could make MASSIVE savings if you went in winter months when kids were at school. I went a few years ago with mates, and for 6 of us for Monday-Friday at Elveden, it was just over £300. £50 each! Keep an eye out if you're not too fussed about when you go

Well they do steal from the rich and give to the poor in that part of the world.

Absolute hate how many shows we see of YouTube's or 'influencers' sat discussing footballing thing. We have enough clueless ex player pundits without having tonnes more littering the place. Most on sky presented by Adam Smith who is a proper bore

Switched on to Sky this morning, a programme called Saturday Social was on.

 

I'm very out of touch it seems, I've no idea who they are. Are they Fan TV contributors or podcasters?

I think they're a bit of both. Personally don't feel they offer anything 'new' and find them all fairly irritating

I saw some big lad called Chunkz play in Soccer Aid. Apparently Sky Sports have "signed" him for some reason. 

 

I blame Arsenal FanTV. 

[FOXYTALK]

The Asda TV advert. The guy is generally annoying. Pocket tap, pocket tap, pocket tap. 😠

Genuinely hadn't heard of this guy until I tuned into Soccer Aid. Just looked at his YouTube and he's got 1.18m subscribers. Looks like the man does good numbers and with a younger audience.

 

A few years ago I really enjoyed KSI et al, and the early days of the Sidemen. Through a mixture of me growing up and them diversifying into other stuff I really didn't care about, I stopped watching.

 

This isn't a slight on anyone at all, but sometimes TV execs and culture just changes direction and it's no longer either relevant or of interest to you. That's happened with a lot of football media on TV. It's just not for me anymore, not catered for my desires. I just have to accept that, just like attending a Leicester game these days, I'm not the audience/demographic they really want.

Thank you! Got to be one of the worst most pointless adverts on TV - can't tell what the guys saying half the time.

 

I thought he must be one of these YouTube people or something - one of those faces you want to punch.

Artificial grass. Anyone that sticks it in their garden needs to face a firing squad

 

Gonna follow this up with grass lawns in general. Mowed lawns look dreadful because most people's lawns are full of moss and weeds that, when mowed, look terrible. The pitch at the KP looks magnificent, albeit ecologically barren, but not many people manage to recreate it in their garden. Moreover, people mow their lawns whilst they've got dandelions, daisies, clover etc flowering that are superb for pollinators and instead of embracing the life that little bit of untidiness brings, they cut it to within an inch of it's life so it looks tidily untidy.

It's a bad idea to put daffodils in your lawn. If you mown your lawn while leave are still growing the bulbs won't make enough nutrients to flower the following year.

Ah, you're one of them posh folks with a tumble dryer I see. Us poor people have to put our clothes on the line or hang them on door frames
