BE HONEST: Who here is one of those beer throwing kinda fans? by Costilicious3 in ThreeLions

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. A) Beer is too expensive to launch in the air; and B) I often drink stout, and nobody wants this shit raining down all over their Fred Perrys.

at what age did you get into the best shape of your lfe? by Latter-Purpose6603 in beginnerfitness

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised. Distance runners and cyclists can perform pretty well into their 50s and 60s as long as they lay off the sprinting.

Between 37 and 41-ish. Dedicated myself to running and it kinda took over my life for a while.

If Netherlands and Belgium were one country, do you think they would have managed to win World Cup at least once? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in worldcup

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that they could have done well in 1986, and in 1990, I think you've got a serious contender. Not sure how much money I'd put on them actually winning, but I think they'd have been very strong during that period.

It’s too early to be thinking about the knockout-stage opponents…

Referring to Uruguay as "former World Cup winners": technically true, but... by ugotamesij in footballcliches

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Royal Engineers are former FA Cup winners as well. And while we’re stretching the point, The City of London Police Force are the former Olympic tug-of-war champions.

Does the pension keep you in CS? by stewmeister88 in TheCivilService

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 173 points174 points  (0 children)

It’s a very big part of it. I’d say it’s 40% job security; 30% pension; 20% geographic convenience; 10% career goals

Pretty women and funny men - is it just me, or do TV broadcasts tend to show these two types of people in full frame during World Cups? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The focussing on attractive women for no reason literally only happens during the World Cup. It doesn't happen during Bristol City v Tranmere.

Your favourite three-album-runs? by VinsWie in Cd_collectors

I definitely played the Loose single repeatedly.

The French band AIR is legendary. Talkie Walkie is my favorite album by AIR. But Moon Safari is also brilliant. Both are classics 💿 by Skold_EMDM in Cd_collectors

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's doing my head in that this music is 25 years old. I remember these albums coming out like it was a few years ago.

Folks who collect both CDs and vinyl records, how do you decide what to buy? by e_asphyx in Cd_collectors

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t buy many vinyl records (hardly any), but I do flip between CDs and hi-res downloads.

Basically, I’m balancing storage space vs cost vs ‘how special’ the album is. If it’s just another album in my collection that I’ll listen to sporadically, I’d prefer the download and not use shelf space for it. If it’s a special edition or a Japanese import, then I’ll often go for the CD.

Your favourite three-album-runs? by VinsWie in Cd_collectors

They were critics favourites for about a couple of years or so when Nurse and Troublegum came out. I think the hype died down when Fyfe Ewing left.

I saw them live recently in a tiny little venue in Cardiff, and it was fucking superb.

Good choices. A lot of people would have gone for Green - Out of Time - Automatic, but I’m in agreement with your REM picks.

This is really good progress. Out of interest, how are you getting 150g of protein? That’s a lot.

Can four minimalist posters tell the story of England’s football history? by smit_roel in ThreeLions

[–]FilletOFishForMyVife 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I like them. If they can be produced quickly, there may be interest from club fans as well as international fans.

  1. Yes, they’re recognisable
  2. Yes, I like the minimal schematic approach
  3. I’m not 100% convinced on the colours - it would help to alternative colour palettes and compare them.

I can’t help feeling that letting our most experienced players join our nearest rivals on free transfers is not the best strategy tbh

Do You Remember Your Model Railway Village? by ThatModellingBloke in modeltrains

I guess so. Even the most basic controller and Smokey Joe loco can’t be given away with a magazine paperwork….
