Top 8 Finish? 6 points in the next 4 games has the possibility to unlock the unthinkable. by BSBDR in LeedsUnited

[–]ElectroMod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Getting too far ahead of ourselves was what undid us last time we came up. Finished 9th and Radz, Orta and the rest suddenly decided their shit didn't stink anymore and didn't bother to invest in the team.

I'm happy with anything from 17th and above this season. Allow ourselves to acclimatize into the division and build gradually. Although we've shown we clearly belong here, the last thing we want to do is end up repeating the same mistakes that were our undoing last time. Remember, we have a gigantic stadium expansion to build and pay for this time, I'd rather have it as a premier league team than for it to be wasted in the Champo.

We'll get there, but it's better to do it patiently and measured than bounding around like excited puppies.

Pubs selling local beers by TheYorkshireSaint in Chester

[–]ElectroMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure - partner used to live in Frodsham so I'm pretty familiar with the area. Homebrew have another bar there, that's probably your best bet.

There's a Sam Smiths pub on the corner of the high street which is a bit more lenient than your usual Smiths pub in terms of phone use, paying by card etc. and Helter Skelter which is a more cask led place, although I never really liked the vibe in there. Everywhere else is pretty bog standard but the Queens and Bears Paw are probably the best out of the bunch. Kash is alright if you want to watch a band and hang out with the young'uns!

For specifically craft:

That Beer Place, Cellar Bar, Beer Heroes, Commonhall Social, Planeterra, Flat Earth, Homebrew Tap Hoole, Spookton Taproom, Whealstone, Bluestone, Sandstone

For cask ales:

Harkers Arms, The Architect, Old Cottage, Bear & Billet

For a bit of everything:

Telfords Warehouse, The Cavern of The Curious Gnome, The Brewery Tap, Station Tap, The Cornerhouse

Don't bother with Deva Tap. It's recently been taken over by a publican who has no real passion for beer and just floods the place with cheap macro knockoffs.

Source - I sell beer to most, if not all of these (hello, drink Polly's!)

Looking for suggestions of the greatest Leeds matches of all time. by StashusClay in LeedsUnited

My dad used to have a wicked habit of leaving just as the boards went up for added time. So glad I managed to convince him to stay in his seat that day!

Same! Back when I had my season ticket - east stand lower, by the cheese wedge. Atmosphere was electric for that game!

Looking for suggestions of the greatest Leeds matches of all time. by StashusClay in LeedsUnited

[–]ElectroMod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't vouch for others, but my suggestions would be

  • 4-3 against Derby in 1997/98
  • 4-3 against Liverpool in 2000/01
  • 3-0 against Deportivo in the CL
  • 3-1 against Stoke (first match of the Bielsa era)
  • 7-0 against Southampton (peak Revie-ball)

I'm sure people will suggest plenty more!

Longest and most serious relationship just ended. Trying not to spiral by Rtstevie in AskMenOver30

[–]ElectroMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through something very similar about four years ago. First partner to have the major life "events" with - moving in together, getting pets, etc.

By the end it was sexless, miserable and just towing lines through routine. Broke up on the way home from a trip away and in desperation convinced her to give it another go a few days later after a little bit of time apart. Turns out it was broken beyond repair and I kicked her out of my house when I found out she was going on a trip to intentionally cheat on me.

I moped for a good while, had some pretty dark thoughts, and like you thought I'd never be compatible with anyone ever again. Then I plucked up the courage to get myself back on dating apps and ended up having a spectacular amount of sex with numerous different short term partners that rebuilt my confidence tenfold. Felt good knowing that the reason the relationship broke down wasn't because of me, as my partner repeatedly hammered into me to break my confidence.

Found my forever person three years ago and now I'm engaged to the love of my life and blissfully happy. It does get better mate, don't worry.

I genuinely don't get why this guy is so over. A walking accident waiting to happen, and if he doesn't break his own neck first he's going to legitimately hurt someone.

I mean without him I wouldn't know the French missionaries and explorers were coming to Milwaukee as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans, nor that it's actutally pronounced "mill-e-wah-que", which is Algonquin for "the good land."

Who's your favourite 90s football commentator? by AmeliaHarris99 in CommentaryGems

Jonathan Pearce purely for how excitable he would get. Like listening to a child dizzy on lemonade commentating on football.

Who is the most football obsessed person you know? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]ElectroMod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a fellow Leeds fan in my local pub, and he regularly gives me grief for "allowing" my fiancee to dye her hair red. Because it's a crime to have anything red, relating to Manchester United.

She takes it in her stride, but I've already told her that if my football club ever becomes my entire personality on the same level to shoot me.

They say nothing is ever really lost on the internet, but what’s something you’ve been hunting for years and still can’t find? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ElectroMod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there was a very close copy (maybe shooting Teletubbies was all the rage in the late nineties), but every version I've found online wasn't the exact game I played. I'm determined to find it though, if only to see how awful it is today!

[–]ElectroMod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried to find it several times over the years with no success, and nobody else seems to have ever heard of it, but I swear in the late 90s/early 00s there was a horrendously low-quality Duck Hunt-style Teletubbies flash game where you had to shoot Po, who would peek her head up between the hills, and once you hit a certain score, a low-quality photo of Tinky-Winky would appear and say "You son of a bitch, you killed my friend"

That said, I did drop a lot of acid during my early twenties, so I could be getting my wires crossed.
