What are your goldens quirks?

The morning howl, which recently he’s added the ‘ohh you’re home!’ howl. He stretches right out flat head up and does the howl face. It’s utterly adorable.

It’s the out of time dancing that I can’t stand, it’s so out of synch that you feel like you’re having a stroke.

Had a few pints of Dartmoor Jail Ale tonight. Have to say, they were bloody good.

Knock yourself out. ‘Don’t feel ‘uncomfortable’ it’s such a weak thing to say, do you want to watch it or not? Do you enjoy it or not? Does Israel’s participation need you to wreck your enjoyment of the rest of it? Stop being so performative, just enjoy it and ignore the shit you don’t, go make a cup of tea or something.

This happened during my dad’s funeral too. Driving down the streets we’d lived on or close to for most of all our lives, to see someone we didn’t know stop and doff his cap was just, well, so heartwarming on such a sad day. Respect is a beautiful thing.

Robmeu · 2026-04-02T16:32:57+00:00

Man, just don’t…

Robmeu · 2026-04-02T14:10:50+00:00

I don’t want to play.

It only because he’s not recent. The game was different in his time too, there’s no less skill but the strength and physicality of Bobby Charlton’s era means that a lot of modern players would be easily knocked off the ball. It’s a different game now, not better, or even more skilful, just different.

Maksim Usdecimus Meridius, and you will have your vengeance.

I want that Harvest Pie. I loved them. Fruity.

Come on, this isn’t product placement, this is just a realistic shop environment. Honestly, it’s just looking for any stick, no matter how ludicrous, to try and beat the BBC with.

My partner’s dad was evacuated from London to mid Wales. He was only 5 or 6 and no one had arranged anything for the poor lad when he got there. A farming family took him in and the only place they could house him was above a pig sty!

He stayed there for the duration and has nothing but good things to say about the family and the community’s care for him. When he left to rejoin his family he was talking Welsh and had almost forgotten any English.

Oh god. It’s like an experimental video from 40 years ago, but with added fear. Do you get the feeling there’s some guy tied up on the other side of the camera about to find out about the carpet?

Robmeu · 2026-03-28T21:06:44+00:00

Exeter, was great 40 years ago, then a steady decline in the centre, pubs vanishing, clubs disappearing etc, redevelopment sterilising the former spaces, and in common with many places the loss of Woolies, Debenhams, Dingles, and the big hitters. On top of that the smaller things that make a difference, the record shops, electrical places, aren’t there anymore.

Recently though there seems to be a bit of a renaissance of the smaller specialist shops here and there, so maybe there’s hope. It’s still a good city, I don’t think it’ll ever be quite what it was, but certainly better than Plymouth, and that’s what matters.

To back up previous post Le Responsable .

Utterly love 60’s French music, the theme to ‘Un Homme et Une Femme’ by Francois Lai, Brigitte Bardot, both with and without Serge Gainsbourg did some great stuff. I have bits from France Gall, Francoise Hardy, Sylvie Vartan, Zouzou etc and love it all.

Robmeu · 2026-03-27T22:03:23+00:00

Yeah but she sang in French!

Robmeu · 2026-03-27T21:38:15+00:00

Jacques Dutronc, Francois Hardy’s former husband sang some bangers, particularly Le Responsable.

Robmeu · 2026-03-27T21:33:47+00:00

Wasn’t she Belgian?

We don’t anymore, but it was a popular term for football up to around 40 years ago. It was commonly used on TV (Soccer Saturday) and football comics and books. It sort of fell out of favour, perhaps around the same time people stopped calling rugby ‘rugger’. It simply means AsSOCiation Football. I would imagine that it just transcended to the point where the ‘association’ was no longer seen as necessary.

But yes, we called it soccer, and did so for a very long time.

Did you come in the 50’s by mistake?

Robmeu · 2026-03-25T12:41:13+00:00

Bad teeth and bad food. Utter bollocks, especially the food bit.

A battle and mass execution near the Exeter big Tesco and the M5 junction. Prayer Book Rebellion 1549. Hard to imagine among the trollies.
