For folk like me, you, IM, LL, yes even Jim T when he can bother his ars, oh hello James, yes remember me? In fact, frig it, Stipey, get us a new thread of our own, just call it "Ranting and soul searching" and we can remove ourselves from the pantomimeesque, "It's me - he's behind you" cobblers.

Ackey Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I agree 100% with Manure fans thinking the footballing world revolves around them, but you really did miss one of the greatest games ever! Go on, someone can rant about me not hating manure if they want to... seems to be a lot of hostility in this thread, I don't mind taking some of it - give me something to do!

leeslover Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 There has a been a request for some moderation on this thread. I would like to re-iterate the point that YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO TALK ABOUT FRIGGIN FOOTBALL here. It is a place of calm and repose from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world, like the rest of the Taproom. Freaks of the world are welcome on the New Big Thread, but are advised that if they want a prompt and sensible reply to something that is really on their minds, rather than a brilliant and insightful reply to a different query, three months too late, then just starting a new thread in the Taproom might be a better bet. Asking here makes about as much sense as asking Barry Owen how much a return bus fare costs. Attempts to win the competition are obviously OK within the starting aim of the thread, good luck folks! It might take a while yet So there. Ramble at will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers just got carried away and i felt a strange release as they did their work,ooh er missus Ok newbies,what's your favourite flavour of jam?

But it's got to have a really high fruit content, and be sweetened with fruity sugars rather than sacks of castor sugar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be Blackcurrant,but none of them seed bits in,smoothed on hot buttered toast or layered liberally on uber fresh thick white warbys mmmmmmmmmmm. Can i just say god damn you to hell Murdoch and Branson for your bloody feud,sky sports one seems to have feckin disappeared and i'm tyrin' to watch Celtic v Saints.

Or cooked in a suet pudding. Mmmmmm. I don't get putting it on toast, toast needs to be eaten really hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmm. I don't get putting it on toast, toast needs to be eaten really hot. No you put a few slices of toast on top of each other so they go a bit soggy.Separate 'em out,then butter,then jam. How fecking cathertic is this after that pile of steaming rubbish today. What we need is Mads perspective on this,she's the Delia Smith o phile. Marmalade is a tool of the devil,dis feckin gusting stuff,looks like it's been made from the bile of demons (or is that lemon curd?),whatever it's crap. There i feel better now,did we have a game today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Lemon curd on toast is the best. Marmalade - not convinced it's even edible to be honest. Jam you buy from supermarkets is a bit horrid, so I'd have to say I'm not really a jam-o-phile. Now the damson jam my mum used to make by the vat-load every year - now that was jam! Very very tasty. Very unhappy about today. I won't say what about, as LL may shout at me for using the F-word. Grrrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasty, but surely more of a sandwich bread than one for spreading. Surely not something to get wound up about? Can't say I've ever eaten marmalade and thought it had added anything at all to my sum of life experiences. This might not be helped by the fact that if you are a normal person, and therefore don't keep it in your house, the only time you ever come across the stuff is out of a little vacuum sealed tub in hotels over breakfast, and let's face it, they aren't serving the good stuff. Oh, IM, putting toast together to get it soggy, wrong wrong wrong. Wrong. At risk of sounding ever so slightly anal about how toast should be made, it should be toasted until really only just done, then left in the toaster for about half a minute, turning it upside down to allow the top half to remain hot inside the toaster and the bottom half the chance to release steam. This gives you the chance to have the butter ready, having spooned it up with your warmed knife. Using both sides of the knife to ready it. Then, spread quickly, put onto hot plate and eat immediately. Wearing black socks and an Alpine hat set at a jaunty angle. Just if that's how you like it, I wouldn't like to appear picky.

Well if we've moved on to toast now,it's gotta be well done,even slightly burned as well.Can't beat that charcoaly carbon taste.The butter has to be cold,cold,cold preferably recently out of the fridge,what's with the warmed knife it'll slide off,to get maximum thickness spreadability on said bread product. Crisp butties,bread or muffin and what flavour? Do you think it's too early for a lap of Dovestones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StipeTripe Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Crisp butties, on bread I think, and one slice at a time. Fill half with crisps and fold over, with Walkers S&G mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Jam, strawberry every time. Toast, not as extreme as you IM, or as interestingly as you LL, toasted just short of the carbon moment, then just wap the butter on and eat, or even better cut up into soldiers and have with a couple of boiled eggs, yokes runny mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Marmalade isn't the best, although I had some grapefruit marmalade once that was quite nice. Oh and IM we were discussing parking and all that at Crewe, if you haven't seen it this is always a useful site Ground Guide If you go into Hudds there is a link to Leeds Road which also gives you a link to other ground and stands long gone.

StipeTripe Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) There are some more fantastic pictures of old ground/stands and the like at this site. Stuart Clarkes work is brilliant, I've linked it many times but a visit to the place in Ambleside is well worth it. One of my favourite pictures is the one on this link. Picture on the left in this link ... Port Vale ... its in one of his books with a bit more detail about the circumstances behind it, and brought a lump to my throat. I think the family of the man, who knew nothing about it saw it one day and wrote to Stuart Clarke to tell him the subsequent background and were proud that his passion for Vale had been immortalised. Lots of smashing photo's Edited April 16, 2007 by StipeTripe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
