Mundane Moments

They do.

Had a thunderstorm, all power out in town, not even a mobile phone signal.

30 minutes of living like in the 70's

White dogshit, sand on sick in the school hall and streets littered with murdered prostitutes?

Probably going to come back to the UK for a few days at Christmas. Would I be right in thinking that my only way of getting a ticket to the home game v Spurs on Boxing Day would be in hospitality?

Not sure when you last went to the WFCG but they have taken the glass out of the front of the legends lounge in the Trent End, obviously being mom and pop I sniffed out the cheapest option, but this is the easiest way to buy tickets (particularly if you want more than one but not a table) on demand. It's about £200+VAT and it's all you can eat sausage rolls but you do have to buy your own Madri.

I am unlikely to be going as we’ll be away, so you can probably use my membership to buy one if you like. Though you may fancy the hospitality option?

Thanks Jim - let me check whether my Dad wants to go and if not then I might just take you up on that.

Thirty years ago this week, I was dropped off at my halls at university for the first time.
Speaking to Tricky before the game today, he stated that colour TV had yet to be invented when he first went.

As for Guru...

Anyway, nice to catch up with some people I rarely get a chance to see these days, even if the game was poor.

In scenes of mundanity befitting this thread, I happened to be driving past Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station this afternoon at the precise moment Radio Four began a feature about its closure.

Managed to get presale tickets for Oasis in Toronto. Including fees, $313 each for GA Floor. Brutal.

Well done ... Kinda. Fucking price of those.

I ordered two things on Sunday, one on eBay (a pair of light fittings for the kitchen, coming from Coventrcity), the other Aliexpress (a stand for our TV that is too big for the TV cabinet, I'm guessing coming from China, it did that funny clearing customs when leaving its country of origin). Similar priced items, similar size, similar weights.

Now, I never thought the Aliexpress item would get here first, but it is in the UK and has cleared customs. The eBay item has reached the national sorting hub. The race it has become is turning into an edge of the seat thriller.

I had two live delivery maps on the go once during lockdown, one from Deliveroo and one from Amazon. Both estimated at the same time and more or less equidistant from opposite directions.

It was nail-biting stuff as they were neck and neck at one point, but KFC / Morrisons just pipped Amazon who I think was ultimately thwarted at the lights on the main road a few yards from my street, but it was a close one.

What a day that was.

My forest membership gift arrived an hour ago. I won’t spoil it for those still waiting, but I quite liked it.

Got mine yesterday, pleasantly surprised, especially as I had forgotten all about it.
