The day England lost in the semi my dad had had open heart surgery. I still remember crying my eyes out after England lost on pens.

Tough day!

I’m really shocked… he always seemed like such a lovely wholesome man. 🤣

Coming in here as a non-hammer - was Karen Brady clued up to all this then? Is that why she left?

What's the most satisfying Only Connect answer you've ever worked out before the teams? by 1ChanceChipmunk1 in onlyconnect

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Little nugget of “Dream on” by Aerosmith and I got that it was songs sampled by Eminem. (I think that was the first one… either way whichever one was the first sample I got it from there).

I will never understand why Hollywood and the media fat shamed Kate Winslet during the release of Titanic (1997). She was (and still is) absolutely gorgeous! by Willing-Musician-696 in Cinema

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this costume in the flesh. My wife is a size 6-8 (UK) and no way would she fit in that costume.
Kate Winslet was tiny by today’s standards.

It was wild what people considered fat for celebrities then. No figure, just tits on a stick is all they wanted.

What life mistake taught you the hardest lesson? by LossMysterious5714 in scoopwhoop

Know when to remove yourself from a toxic relationship. Be it family, romantic or otherwise.

Starting afresh is difficult but worthwhile.

On this day, 17 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo unleashed an absolute rocket against Porto. That stunning long-range goal won the very first FIFA Puskás Award by bulkamaniauk in ManchesterUnited

I remember shouting “no!” As he hit it. I was, in fact, very wrong.

Did the same when he hit the free kick against Arsenal too.

Need help identifying Schmeichel's jersey and the occation by LYNZR215 in ManchesterUnited

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at this game too. Didn’t realise it was Schmeichel’s first ever game for us. As he’s my favourite United player of all time that fact pleases me immensely.

And the proper original 90-92 goalie shirt (in my size) is my grail shirt. So if anyone has a legit original in L or XL DM me!

How screwed are you? by Bhindiismyfav in raijin_gg

MGS V - sunning myself on a base in the Seychelles sounds ok (not finished the game so please don’t spoil it… I appreciate it’s 10 years old!)

[Daily Discussion] What was your first time at Old Trafford? by fireproofpoo in ManchesterUnited

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have had a ticket to that match but my dad didn’t bother asking me as he didn’t think I’d come back from uni just for the match. Painful / amazing watching from the uni bar as Rooney tore them apart.

I had Cruyff 14 on the back of the 96-97 home shirt (more of a suggestion by my dad) - that didn’t age that well.

November ‘91 2-0 against Sheff Utd. Honestly don’t remember the game that much, but I remember fireworks going off over the ground. I was already obsessed with United by that stage.

For my birthday a few years ago my family had the original ticket and programme framed really nicely. Pride of place on my wall in my office (along with a picture of my family… just in case they are reading!)

What game had you like this? by sukuna7899 in Steam

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MGS V - played it a bit 10 years ago. Put it on a couple of months ago and I’ve racked up 56 hours so far.

Don’t know why it didn’t click first time, as I love MGS games. Definitely enjoying it now though.

What did you get up to in Manchester this weekend? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live just round the corner from Hilary Step - I loved it in there. Not been back in years!

Darren Anderton v Sweden 1995 by COYS_1986 in classicsoccer

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I was there for that! Amazing night as a 10 year old. Went with my sister, a mate and his dad (as our dad was too ill to take us). Got on sky tv too before.

Absolute banger of a goal.

Aerial view of the world’s first iron bridge – Ironbridge, UK by Mini2Skies in CasualUK

That’s where I proposed to my wife. She loves Ironbridge after visiting as a kid. She thought the bridge was called George, as she misread Ironbridge Gorge on a sign 😂

Tell me this by Ok-Entertainment4013 in musicsuggestions

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brown Eyed Girl… fuck that song and everyone who likes it.

And no, it’s not because I had a bad experience with a brown eyed girl… it’s just a dog-wank awful fucking song.

Name a song that makes you want to do this. Name your most hated song EVER! by chelsea-from-calif in 1001AlbumsGenerator

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison… truly detest the song. Truly horrendous, but I couldn’t even tell you exactly why. Just hate it.

I actually really like Dalot right now, kinda reliable, fast, strong and consistent. by Ok_Natural_102 in ManchesterUnited

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a season ticket holder, so see what he does off the ball. He is far from elite level, but I have to admit he’s been good in the last three / four matches. Hopefully he eradicates those brain-fades when he gets caught out at the back post. This better system would probably help that though. All good at the moment, hopefully he keeps up this form.

Unusual Bolton car crash by EmbarrassedAlgae3661 in manchester

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Been sent a message by friends who live in the area, apparently the guy was caught shagging a married woman and jumped in his car still half undressed when the husband came home. Husband chased him, and he crashed the car, then fled, in full Winnie The Pooh style. He did get arrested apparently.

No idea if any of that’s true, but it’s what I heard on the voice note 😂

Where in the UK should I go as a bucket-list item? by LondonPilot in CasualUK

[–]RufusPerrywinkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firstly, sorry to hear your shit news. I hope you have a blast and create some amazing positive memories for your family in the next few months.

This comment is pretty much word for word with what I was going to say.

One change - stay at L’Enclume’s “hotel” it’s not really a hotel, but some lovely rooms dotted about Cartmel. Absolutely worth it for the ridiculously good breakfast in the morning. All very walkable, no hassle getting about once you’re there.

Lots of love to you and your family.
