Community Chat – A Place for Weary Flingers

I reckon if the Arsenal board had been as patient with Emery(Unai not Dick) as they have with Arteta they’d have at least one Champions League trophy by now .

Both English clubs through to the Europa League final winning their semi’s 7-1 & 5-1.They are in 16th and 17th places in the EPL so what does that tell you about the state of European football beneath the elite Champions League level?Discuss(bit of irony there for you).

[Brian N]

Those cardinals like a BBQ don’t they?

[Desperate Dan]

Did the mayor of Chicago really say that the Pope was dope? is that a cardinal sin?

(avoids any discussion about Arsenal…)

[Desperate Dan]

BTW, I bumped into Lee Mills on a remote Anglesey footpath yesterday. You know, Bradford City’s first £1m footballer who scored one of the goals against Wolves that sent City into the Premier League in 1999. He was surprised to see me.

[catsnbirds]

Dan – and was he happy to meet Twiggy?

[Brian N]

I think the Trumpster has a one out one in policy re the clown car.Casey Means an excellent choice for the new surgeon general under the slogan Make Covid Great Again…sheesh!

[Brian N]

Funny you should say that @desperatedan I once met Lee Mings at the top of a coastal path. Kept trying to throw himself off the cliff, said all his mates were down there.

 

Speaking of mates a pal of mine was telling me about problems he was having with his neighbour.

“He’s an absolute nutter. You must’ve seen him knocking about? Little guy, pointy ears, wears green tights.”

“Sounds like you’ve got mental elf problems.”

There’s yer Friday 2for1 lunchtime deal. And no it’s too hot for a coat.

[Desperate Dan]

Aye. I’ve cast my clout.

(That one will not travel)

[Brian N]

One of me old mum’s favourite expressions though there seems to be some doubt as to whether it refers to the month of May or the may blossom.Definitely one for Suzie Dent.(That also will not travel).

[Brian N]

Well it’s been a while.https://youtu.be/56dxJjXbnjg?si=svUGb9JV_y_MK7w-

[Desperate Dan]

I thought it was definitely the may  (i.e. hawthorn) blossom. Don’t say now I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

Mind you, folks round these parts are clearly confused. The other day on the beach we saw somebody dressed for arctic conditions in a huge puffer jacket at the same time as someone (male unfortunately) nude sunbathing.

That’s not a sexist comment, it’s just that it was rather unpleasant and we didn’t have sausages for tea that night.

[Desperate Dan]

With reference to the Fall video and Leigh Bowery, I reiterate my comment about the sausages. And whatever you do, don’t google Lucien Freud.

[Brian N]

Despite having more kids than Musk old Freud did like a bit of sausage.Bowery also appears in Cruiser’s Creek.

Have to say Jarvis Cocker has lost none of his acerbic wit .Really like Spike Island.

[Brian N]

I did have sausages for tea tonight,a delightful variation of panhaggerty.All this foody chat is making me think of you @hunnybunny how are you?

[Desperate Dan]

Pulp for Eurovision. Imagine Jarvis let loose live on such a stage…

Twiggy will be doing a Eurovision prediction for her usual fee.

My prediction is that UK won’t be last this year, seems like the song might tap into the Eurovision zeitgeist. But what do I know? I still think Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson were robbed in 1959.

I do think our girls are trying a little too hard.

[Brian N]

Anyway I must tell you about a really bad tranny who’s been knocking about Brechin lately(and before you rude bunch say anything it isn’t me).I’ve noticed him a couple of times in the last few weeks but never before so I assume he’s either just moved into the area or has recently decided to go public.

So facially he looks like the actress Alice Barry(I had to google her name) but I know her from that brilliantly FU PC show Shameless where she played an older prostitute with a very peculiar clientelle.She was also a pub regular in the equally brilliant Phoenix Nights.She has big brunette hair and jam jar glasses and looks like a boxer(dog that is).That’s the look our boy is going for and he pulls it off magnificently.

But it’s his legs that really consign him to drag hell,he’s as bandy as…a thing that’s really bandy.He looks like a pair of pliers when he’s walking and you’d think with legs like that you’d cover them a little?No on the two occasions I’ve seen him he’s worn skirts unbuttoned right up(and I mean right up there,you could practically see his tentacles).On the plus side they were beautifully shaven(oh come on I mean his legs!)

In case you’re wondering how I’m aware of such detail on the first occasion (I saw him) I was behind him in the Co-op checkout so yes I had a really good look and I also discovered he has a very deep voice.

All in all Ru Paul can rest easy but I was filled with a mixture of amusement and admiration.He’s got balls.

[Brian N]

@abcrazy is never coming back is she?

[Brian N]

Here’s a very dark nursery rhyme.Grimm indeed.https://youtu.be/Rc6-jjsUOu0?si=EAMS-S16OAr4jIca

[Brian N]

I make no apologies for playing this again from one of the best bands to emerge from the maelstrom of punk.Probably the best intro in the history of music…well maybe Beethoven’s 5th symphony might have a shout.Take it away boys..,https://youtu.be/OFGA2HbCa0A?si=Mf9TILxBFCKlgw1E

[Desperate Dan]

There’s a lot to clear up here from Brian’s trail…

I would be doing the patrons of this establishment a disservice if I didn’t point out that Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson, unlike Monty Python’s claim, did not win the 1959 Eurovision. Sing Little Birdy, Sing was disgracefully relegated to second place behind The Netherlands, who didn’t even have the decency to sing in English. It’s worth noting the whole contest took just over one hour, present day organisers should take note of this.

I agree that our girls are trying too hard. |The song appears to be a mash up of about five different songs, all collapsed into 3 minutes. The genre could therefore be classified as prog-pop. All I have said is that it will not finish last but Twiggy as yet is keeping her cards close to her furry chest.

Most bizarre sight I saw, along the Brechin thread, was a huge bloke well over six foot tall wearing nothing but flip flops and  tiny posing pouch type briefs pushing a small supermarket trolley with a tiny dog in it along a canal tow-path in blazing heat on a Sunday afternoon. So many questions…

As for @abcrazy, who can blame her? As for casting a clout, not only did it not travel, it probably means sometime horrendously insulting in Texas.

Everything Everything will continue to mean Nothing Nothing to me but as far as Magazine are concerned I am in full agreement. Their first album is darkly disturbing genius.

[Brian N]

Ah another beautiful day.I think I’ll do my tax returns.

[Brian N]

If there were any canal tow-paths in Brechin I’d be avoiding them on a day like today.

[HunnyBunny]

Well, someone mentioned sausages!
Seeing as we are off to Spain tomorrow (and I have to leave the house spotlessly clean – imagine coming home to a dirty house)
We ate at lunch at our local
Seems I have more appetite for French sausage than Mr Grumpy…
Luckily, we will miss Eurovision, although I normally watch
