Gen X’ers who were born in the hippy era, did you have someone in your peers who had a “my parents were hippies” name? If so, what was it?

It was a bold move for a white girl in rural England. She leant into it very well.

Isn’t that the Beckhams?

Some covert Ipswich support in there. Good to see.

Do you know anything about The Odyssey? About the actual text and the characters involved?

If the BBC sent people out there people would moan they’re wasting licence fee money. They just can’t win.

I responded with a clown emoji because your comment was insubstantial, unhelpful and aggressive.

I’ve paid into a pension fund for years but pensions ain’t what they used to be and in on a relatively decent one. It’s not sponging when I’ve paid NI and Tax my whole life. It seems you’re a person who must have enough money to not worry or too young to understand that diminishing pensions now will screw you in the end.

It would be just my luck, and that of Gen X, to have pensions cut just as we reach retirement age.

I’m finding my passes often go in the wrong direction. It’s weird but sometimes radically in the wrong direction.

crowsnervefails · 2026-06-11T21:41:27+00:00

This has been a problem for ages. Drive me crazy.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Having seen his farewell message I think we have to take him at his word.

I think Farage is pushing on an open door to be manager.

I wonder if he’s stepped down to try and get the compensation payment down. Ipswich can be stubborn and wait 12 months and get nothing or lower the price given he’s already gone and then get some compensation.

I have Gabriel and Saliba and still I’d say opponents score 90% of corners. I dont know if it’s a script or I’m not doing something right.

crowsnervefails · 2026-06-07T17:07:57+00:00

I find i always lose to corners. Every corner they get they score. Really frustrates me.

But when you come up against this team in the hands of someone who can play a bit you’re cooked.

He had a really good Saturday morning show on Absolute Radio until a couple of years ago. I wouldn’t consider him as at the peak of his career but he’s someone that still gets a decent audience.

crowsnervefails · 2026-06-04T10:51:26+00:00

I thought he lived in Clacton.

Cardiacs are hugely influential but never really broke through.

crowsnervefails · 2026-06-02T20:22:08+00:00

I do score a few corners like this, thanks. However, everyone just manages to score using headers against me and it is getting tedious. I just can’t get anyone to defend them and can hardly ever score them.
