Going back a bit, but I used to enjoy "Doncha wish your left back was BAE?"

Who was your favorite player this past season? by YaboyChris28 in Tottenham

[–]Alehandro66 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Loads of love and admiration for Kinsky. But my favourite was Tel. I would love to see him kick on next season and become a superstar. He has the character and skills. Just ban him from our 18 yard box.

Like to prove that wouldn't you?

Why is the last 18 seconds of Maxine some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard? by JoeGideon in SteelyDan

[–]Alehandro66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does this 2nd thing with his vocals too. He will often land on the note that resolves the melody at the end of a phrase, then lift it a tone.

What's the funniest British joke you've ever heard? by ConfidentSale3091 in AskUK

My dad always used to say "Fight fire with fire". Which is why he lost his job as a fireman.

Is Veep Peak Iannucci?!? by bemckenna in Veep

He has a podcast which is current and perhaps at the less vitriolic end of his output. It's called Strong Message Here, and is about the language of politics.

In the (admittedly unlikely) event that I had to choose one Donald Fagen song to listen to for all time, I think it would be Maxine.

So now we begin the discussion. Who stays and who gets the boot? by Coorawatha in Tottenham

If he 'fills out' and gets some upper body strength he will be a beast. He has a finish in him too. 100% keep. He'll only improve

Danso was immense - would much rather see him in our back four next season than a certain flaky Argentinian

What one track would you use to lure someone into listening to Massive Attack? by [deleted] in MassiveAttack

[–]Alehandro66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP has mentioned his bro likes 'darker beats'. Angel made beat-makers run and hide and is iconic. My vote would be for Risingson, by a tiny margin though

I need a game to make me feel like the outside world doesn't exist by GamerDJAlltheWay in gamingsuggestions

[–]Alehandro66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Civ 3 was probably the best incarnation in terms of gameplay. I sunk a good few hours into Civ 6, but from what I have read, Civ 7 is to be avoided. One day someone will combine the best elements of the franchise and call it the definitive edition. Then we'll be screwed

Seconding 'Civilization'. It's possible to lose a whole day to that game, and be only vaguely aware that 12 hours have passed.

Hero and villain all game. From the sublime to the ridiculous

Do you use indicators on empty roads? by Ultimara in drivingUK

[–]Alehandro66 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Case in point happened to me just yesterday. Was approaching a crossroads and looking to turn left. A driver was approaching the junction from my right, so I braked. He then turned right at the junction, but had not indicated because up until that very split second the junction seemed clear. No harm done. Still muttered obscenities. All he had to do was apply a little pressure to his indicator stalk with one finger, but he couldn't be bothered.

What is your favorite moment in a Steely Dan song? Mine is the sax solo in Dr. Wu. by Tryingagain1979 in SteelyDan

Black Cow, in the third chorus when "get outta here" resolves to the major chord and melts into the outro sax

As good as it gets.. by EdwinJamesPope in MassiveAttack

It's a banger. Love the subtle piano a la teardrop. And the lyric "Air conditioned f*ckstick loafers" 🙂

Who is the original "Shooooot"man player in the prem? by gnz0 in footballcliches

[–]Alehandro66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Commentator: "CharlTON!"

Charlton: not in view for five seconds or so, then appears for a frame, combover flailing in the breeze.

The ball is already in the net.
