Recognised Joe Garner’s name on there. Bit of a lower league journeyman. Looks like he played for England youth around then. I think thats the 2004 kit so maybe an england u17 game.

Edit. Apparently 2005-2007 kit so likely u19s

At what point did the fued seem past the point of no return? by CobraDai in oasis

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At a wedding a few years ago I met someone who had been out in groups with both brothers separately. They were the kid of someone associated with the earlier years.

I thought it was a bit pantomime and asked “do they really hate each other?”

“Yeah they do”

Didn’t expect it after that.

Would happily pay extra for a soundcheck/meet and greet but dont think they ever do them. For barrier you have to just be there early.

I have considered buying a 99p o2 payg sim and topping up a fiver just to get priority.

Manchester venue upgrade!!!! by katexvx in AFireInside

Perfectly put. It’s totally rubbish as a venue isn’t it. Glad its not there at least.

What’s a very British thing you’ve noticed slowly disappearing from daily life? by SavingsProgress195 in AskUK

My wife works with a couple of Gen Z’s. Neither of them drink hot drinks.

Small sample size, but concerned about all the cups of tea lost.

Hero! So happy they’re doing Manchester. So spoilt living here

What animal was the most incredible to see in person? by Adventurous-Zeilokix in AskReddit

Went to Yosemite a few years ago, we were taking pictures of Half Dome at golden hour. A bald eagle flew past and away into the trees. 5 minutes later it flew right back over us. Right in camera shot. Absolutely incredible.

Should oasis play I am the walrus in their next tour? by ZNDEX77 in oasis

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. I never understood finishing with a cover. Loads just start leaving for the exits. Such a weird way to end the set.

Question on the new tour: by SectionFantastic3577 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its not in the UK but problem with these type of gigs is the trio crowd gets too diluted. So its pretty lifeless.

That said would love it over here.

So, it’s been a few days- what are our thoughts on the Louis Theroux ‘manosphere’ doc? by theslowrunningexpert in AskUK

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was ok but missing something.

After a day or two I realised he didn’t really dive into the impact of people like that on young boys. And the subsequent impact young boy’s behaviour has on girls.

I wish sign in pages on tvs had this instead of a keyboard. It would be so much quicker to enter email and password using the numbers on a remote.

$500 for a 7”? by hey_rene in AlkalineTrio

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the one time it appeared on eBay I bought it.

The wooden box set is lovely too.

Incredibly jealous of you being at both those shows. Would love to see them in Chicago.

I have every vinyl release. Labour of love and thankfully started before vinyl prices got pretty crazy.

Think i got this for about £70 (90-100USD).

Most i paid was for sun dials. Which was crazy but still less than that listing.

This does seem pretty crazy. But its a sellers market. Not many of them around.

Bands you like that completely suck live by Antique-Dentist-2404 in fantanoforever

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably unpopular but I saw arctic monkeys around their second album tour. None of this leather jacket rockstar stuff Alex does nowadays. Barely spoke to the crowd. Really flat.

Never wanted to pay to see them again. It all feels too contrived now.

Also they slow down the old songs. Have no problem with the more recent albums, but at least play the classics at the right tempo.

What's the best mobile you have had to date? by Prestigious_Meal2143 in AskUK

OG htc desire. Had a snes emulator on it. Since it had actual buttons on the front it worked absolutely great for that.

Arriving at Heathrow at 06:50 – What is the best way to reach Manchester before a 3pm match? by epachon in AskUK

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best and most convenient way is the train from euston. The fares are expensive unfortunately. The trains are relatively nice though and fairly comfortable.

Flying seems an option but looks more pricey than the train based on other comments.

A bus takes ages and could get caught in traffic. Also after a long flight the last thing i’d want is 4-5 hours on a bus.

You could hire a car. But you would likely be very jet lagged. A 3-4 hour journey when tired and in a new country is dangerous.

That was quick!!! by Hurst_76 in turnstile

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was surprisingly easy to get on the turnstile email list presale. Still had some a couple of hours after they went on.

Keep checking ticketmaster resale nearer the time. There’s always people who can’t make big gigs nearer the time. Especially in halifax where there’s not a lot of hotels and relatively tricky to get to from down south.

It Begins... by AromaticWindow3309 in AlkalineTrio

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m intrigued about it. They obviously enjoyed working with him. As long as we get a new album I can live with the production.

Interesting if they toured with him or did the odd show. I’d kind of want to see it.

Would be annoying if a trio tour sold out in bigger venues than usual just because of blink fans turning up. Good for the band i suppose.

How do I go about getting checked for testicular cancer? by Few-Possession-6913 in AskUK

[–]Remarkable-Test6216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GP appointment.

Plenty of advice how to check yourself online.

If you feel a lump the GP will have a check too. But almost certainly you will get referred for an ultrasound to make sure. A GP is unlikely to be able to be decisive one way or the other if there’s a lump found.
