I do like a stinky sour... So Im not saying that sumo jock piques my interest, exactly, but it may not be the deterrent one would imagine.

SoulMonster Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Just now, Dazey said: And cold. I can't stand warm beer. Yeah, I agree. I also like traditional beer, btw, and Guinness is probably my favorite. It was eye-opening and inspiring to meet some Irish guys in Manchester once and see how they poured down Guinness. They had this system too, where they would alternate buying the next round, and timed it just so the head would fully settle by the time they finished the last bit of the previous beer so there wouldn't be a break in the drinking. Just beautiful to watch. True art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised you've never been to Old Trafford for the cricket. Corporate and soulless. They have destroyed the museum and tradition of the place. The Lancs supporters are up in arms and have formed an ''action group''. So it is low on my list of grounds ''to do''. Edgebaston is a bit like that also but at least they still have the museum. Next year I am eyeing up New Road and Trent Bridge unless Lord's pulls me in again, or we get Chesterfield in place of Derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above, but further on this, if I was going to watch Lancashire it would have to be Aigburth or Southport, not Old Trafford. Love the little traditional outgrounds.

DieselDaisy Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 My favourite outground, Chesterfield Cricket Club used by Derbyshire (the crooked spire in background which you can always glimpse if you are on the east coast train line), Cheltenham College is also stunning. Completely unchanged since WG Grace played there in the 1890s, It is like stepping back in time. Love outgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) The word ''surrender'' sends the remainer MPs a bit nuts! The Liberals and SNP seem to have a meltdown when faced with the word. One even likened Boris's usage of the term ''surrender bill'' to the murder of Jo Cox (yes, I am confused as you are!). PS I have often thought Brexit is a culture war. Not so much a class war as the difference cuts across class, but a clash of cultures between basically a people who look at a term such as ''surrender bill'' and get offended or a bit crazy, and people who look at it and don't. Just a theory that needs further development. Edited September 25, 2019 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't explain it either Let's assume ''surrender/surrender bill'' is inflammatory speech. To any sane person it isn't but let's just assume that it is for sake of argument. The analogy is being made between Boris's language and a MP who was shot and stabbed to death - not on the receiving end of some particularly inflammatory language - by a member of the English far-right! Yes, I'm none the wiser either!!! PS ''Humbug'' also haha. That is more Boris doing his Jeeves and Wooster impression, yet watch the snowflakes melt at the word!

Absolute masterclass wind-up from Boris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 A question to remainers, is yesterday's fiasco why you wanted Parliament recalled, why you contested Boris's prorogation? More shouting, point scoring, barnyard noises and general silliness? We have had three years of this shite and you required more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a matter of principles and not accepting anyone setting the law aside to further one's own political goals. Principles, Daisy. You know, those you ain't got.
