Rincewind Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Not this bloke, surely? http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/eddie-retires/story-20427700-detail/story.html p.s. Sorry that I didn't make it down to the Ale Fest on Saturday. I'll acquire one of your books online and see you in the King's some day. Thanks.I have had to resubmit it anyway. Found a few errors and was not happy with the layout in the end. Too eager to get it out there. I now have about 7 inferier copies to get rid of. I am willing to let them go at a reduced price or a donation to wishes 4 kids. It will give an idea what the real one is like.
Crinklyfox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Too self-critical. Unforgiving of myself for mistakes I've made for which I wouldn't berate others had they made them. Looks like I'm not alone from some previous posts.
Finnegan Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 My sidestep isn't quite Shane and my offload just isn't Sonny Bill.
ScouseFox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 i got told i like myself more than i like anyone else once as if it was a flaw. is that a bad thing? i also do not give enough of a shit about anything. well, anything important.
bovril Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 i also do not give enough of a shit about anything. well, anything important. That's not a flaw. I can't be doing with people who give a shit. Boooring.
ScouseFox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 That's not a flaw. I can't be doing with people who give a shit. Boooring. yeah i am of that opinion too but not many are. easy come easy go nothing matters. life's good.
CKB Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Being at times to laid back for my own good A complete perfectionist with certain things I can be short tempered I can say things I don't mean
Benguin Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Allergy to dust mites. Wheeze, coff and sniff all the time due to this, which is a little unattractive. Laziness. Very productive when motivated but have spent entire weekends in bed. Smoker - can't stop, tried so many times.
Vlad the Fox Posted 18 March 2015 Posted 18 March 2015 Everyone I konw would say time keeping, yet fail to see that the flaw is all theirs as they're all stuck on gmt and should set their clocks by me.
MPH Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 The other thing i cant stop doing is embarrassing my wife. Its so easy. Like we'll be on the dairy isle and she falls for it every time , I'll ask her to just reach that Yoghurt or that back of cheese so she'll stick her hand out so i grab her hand and start dancing with her. She hates it.
MooseBreath Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Not surprised she's embarrassed by that tbf. What kind of lunatic starts dancing in a supermarket?
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 I'll dance anywhere tbfh. Not even embarrassed. Well aware there's gay/lunatic jokes incoming. I'm just comfortable enough with myself to not give a toss what I project to people, out of work at least. If I'm in a stupid mood and want to dance in the supermarket then let's go. That's probably linked to my fundamentally biggest flaw, mind, a horrendous lack of impulse control. Hence my debt, failed university education, problematic personal relationships, etc.
Nick Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 a horrendous lack of impulse control. You are not alone my friend.
MooseBreath Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Very weird. I can't grasp what would compel someone to dance in a supermarket at all. It is just not an appropriate place for dancing. If you're getting enjoyment out of the inappropriateness then that's more understandable but a grown man dancing in a supermarket would surely be the single most camp form of rebellion in the history of the world.
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 I don't know, really, you'd never catch me in spray on jeans, with straightened hair or highlights. You'd never get me moisturising or mincing around hugging everyone. I'm not especially effeminate by nature. But messing about singing and/or dancing around to music and generally making a spectacle of myself comes fairly naturally. I'm currently sat in the office with a pair of pretty decent headphones on bopping about in my chair to a bit of cheesy 00s ska punk. I don't doubt some of my co workers think I'm a bit strange but I'm not overly fussed. Nor am I "trying" to be random, something else you'd never catch me doing. I don't have any particular talent for music but I suppose I'm a fairly musical person. I'm certainly very, very easily influenced by music. I'm far more likely to be choked up by a sad song than a tragic film or book for example. Dunno. Different strokes.
Guest MattP Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Dancing no, but I have a dreadful habit of singing and not really caring in public places.
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Reading between the lines I'm taking that as a confession that Matt is a regular on the karaoke in the Tramplighters
Guest MattP Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Reading between the lines I'm taking that as a confession that Matt is a regular on the karaoke in the Tramplighters I've done them all mate, Tavern, Lamplighters, O' Neill's - my style of music as well as I barely listen to anything beyond 1979.
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 I've got this great image of you shitfaced murdering Neil Diamond (not literally. Although some of your stories I wouldn't be surprised.)
Guest MattP Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 I've got this great image of you shitfaced murdering Neil Diamond (not literally. Although some of your stories I wouldn't be surprised.) I could only really do Sweet Caroline but that's already taken by one of my mates so I can't do that - we've all got our own tracks and it's serious a serious liberty taken if one of us sings another's tune. One of mine is generally from (for mainstream pub purposes)... Ray Charles (I got a Woman, Hit the Road Jack) Elvis (In The Ghetto, One Night, TWOY) Carl Perkins (Blue Suede Shoes, Boppin the Blues) Bowie (Ziggy Stardust, Changes) Englebert (Please Release Me, Last Waltz) Fats Domino (Blueberry Hill) Did Chasing Cars once but it's was absolutely shit.
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Getting dibs on Please Release Me was a great move. The idea of you doing I Got A Woman is ****ing hilarious though. I get landed with anything Noel did with Oasis a lot, very easy vocal range to hit. The custom in Japan (that or my mate is a crafty lying bastard) is that your friends pick your song for you, you don't choose yourself. For some reason (just for Moose) they always end up giving me Don't Stop Me Now.
MPH Posted 19 March 2015 Posted 19 March 2015 Very weird. I can't grasp what would compel someone to dance in a supermarket at all. It is just not an appropriate place for dancing.

Live a little. its fun.
