Better.

Not sure why they were celebrating Gore Jr spelling "neighbour" wrong?

AI can have this one: Crumpets are a type of griddle bread, similar to thick pancakes, that are a popular breakfast food in the UK, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. They are known for their spongy texture and characteristic holes on the surface, which are perfect for holding melted butter and other toppings. They are lovely with butter on them. The butter seeps through like sweat on a corner's sock.

Its is very difficult to describe exactly what a crumpet is.

This thread has already exceeded expectations.

Watching soccer. I have a season ticket for my club. Will try to go and watch England whenever I can but not close to the levels I did in the the 00's. Not played for about a decade now. Too fat. Collect sports stickers. Mainly soccer but do the Panini NFL every year. Watching cricket but international games are starting to get very pricey which limits me until my 14 year old can pay for himself! So mainly on TV the last few years. Being sarcastic on internet message boards.

I’m just 2 episodes from finishing season 3. I’ve enjoyed it and the characters have been enjoyable. The only off putting things has been the actual soccer scenes.

Tried to like them but can’t. Might be an age thing. McCartney does my head in. He’d turn up to the opening of car door.

Which reminds me......

I used to have a Polish friend who was a sound engineer for our band. And a Czech one too.

The lad (Peter Auty) who sang Walking in the Air (which is actually flying but that's another discussion) in the short cartoon film wasn't the same lad who sang when the song was released as a single after the movie was released. Aled Jones got to number 5 in 1985 with the song. So the first time the song was covered and released as a single it was a hit. The Snowman was first shown on TV when I was 2 and I still watch it at least once every Christmas.

My son and I were at a small gig (Stone Roses tribute) on Saturday night and during the interval the venue played some music and this song came on. The place erupted singing and dancing to it in a way I sometimes think only working class British folk can. I looked at my 14 year old who was stood up belting the words out like they meant the world to him. Seeing him enjoying life and feeling so comfortable in himself doing so was an amazing moment.
