  1. I also should have got the skills from my dad but he was always very much the "no you're doing it all wrong give it here" type. Very very good at DIY though. I didnt take it personally because I remember we got a new kitchen put in (a rare time he got someone in to do it), it was an old shaped house with odd shaped walls and tbf I thought the kitchen looked smart but he speant the next few months slowly taking panels off and proper crafting them to fit the shape of the wall.
  2. I'm an accountant and my father in law to be is a builder. I quite like giving DIY a go but I'm in a constant battle with my missus so she'll let me do DIY "just ask dad to do it, hes a builder you're just an accountant!!!!" Whenever I embark on a DIY project I'm so so cautious cos I'm scared that one mishap means I'll be banned from DIY. I'm quite stubborn so this lead me to spend a good 7 hours putting a shed up by myself cos I didnt even want to ask anyone to hold two panels together for me. Tiled the bathroom wall at the weekend which is my first time tiling. Earned a compliment from the father in law when my missus sent him a picture so chuffed with that. All this can only mean I'm going to fall through the ceiling when I board out the loft.
  3. Saw that, hadnt realised he'd dropped so low down.
  4. He became my favourite player for a while when he scored the only goal in a win against man utd in 2003 or 2004? Must have been about 12 at the time but just the sheer joy of beat Man utd who I loathed at the time.
  5. Williams looks decent, I'd have him on loan any day but like you say, liverpool arent well stocked in fit central defenders at the moment.
  6. Absolutely fantastic show. Series 1 and 2 were brilliant. 3rd and 4th were still surprisingly good even though I thought it was going to be a desperate attempt to keep the franchise going.
  7. Watching it now (been on my list for a while) Its very eye opening even though I thought I was aware of what they were doing. It's a free service, that is worth billions, of course they're exploiting our data and usage habits for targeted ads etc but this was very eye opening about the actual extent of it.
  8. I'd have just been moving on to key stage 2 back then
  9. Derrick Trotter maybe?
  10. And of course as a teenager, all the hot girls posting their holiday photos was a dream come true.
  11. Cant believe I didnt make the cut 😭
  12. This is a large part of it tbh I like it, I use it a fair bit. I have Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, I post on rare occasions but largely just to follow others. I used to have snapchat but that was in my single days (I cant actually think of another use for it now). Done tinder and bumble as well. I have whatsapp if you count that as well. I wouldn't say im obsessed but it keeps my hands busy whilst I take a dump. The problem many people have with it is the majority of people post the best picture of themselves so to others it looks like they are living the perfect life which both breeds and masks a lot of insecurity. If you're using it i think you've got to not read a lot into what's on there otherwise you'll end up in a dark place if that makes sense? I'd worry about young people growing up with it. That may sound hypocritical from someone who has had some form of social media since the age of 13 but I feel at that time it was in its infancy, it was a time where social media was essentially an extension of your physical interactions rather than this opportunity to create your perfect virtual self and also hide behind the keyboard saying awful awful things. The other thing is it's amazing the things you can find from the information people put online (I'm probably quite bad tbh). I was on a course about the very subject and the things you can do to find people online are amazing and a bit scary. I do it from time to time, not in a creepy way, just out of curiosity. I pick someone at random and see what I can find out about them. Just an exercise in what's out there (I dont use the information for anything). Cant remember the conversation but my mum made the bold claim that everyone she works with is super careful on social media, within about 5mins I had her head teachers d.o.b, address, graduation date, wedding date, work and education history.
  13. Certainly not 2/3rds of you senior centre backs. Liked the look of Wharton though so hopefully his chance to step up and perform.
  14. If you couldn't imagine Evans getting injured you're completely devoid of any creative talent. The only way to couldnt make it up is if you were a vegetable.
  15. Might as well be shooting from those freekicks, we're not beating a neil warnock team in the air
  16. £7m misses a sitter but dont worry £5m is coming in at the back post to.... oh wait never mind.
  17. When Gallagher chases the ball you can tell he has no idea what he's going to do when he gets there.
  18. I've liked the look of Elliot when I've seen him play for liverpool and was genuinely excited when we signed him. Just what we need in attack so I can only assume Tony's brought him in as cover for del.
  19. I'm at a point where I dont aggressively hate the venkys. I accept that we need them to stay afloat and appreciate that they've kept relatively quiet in recent seasons. Itll take a lot before I'm thanking them. Even if we become a mid table PL team again the progress under them would be zero and we've had 10 years of hell to go with it.
  20. As someone said yesterday, fixtures are going to come thick and fast this season so it could we be the team with the biggest squad that goes up.
  21. Cracking window that. Kept our best players and added quality. Another CB as cover would have been perfect but all in all better than anyone could have hoped for. Inlaws are liverpool fans, rate elliot a lot and from what I've seen of him he looks a decent prospect. Feels like they're targeting promotion.
  22. Dont know much about Trybull or Douglas but three promotions between them is good experience that we've been lacking. Add in one promotion for Ayala plus Kaminski looks solid. We're looking alright I think that's a very successful window if these two come off. Could have done with another CB for cover but think we can make a decent fist of it this season so long as Tony doesnt try to channel his inner pep.
