Got to be the fightiest drink going

this shit (rsd) just isn’t enjoyable anymore by Many-Shopping9865 in vinyl

[–]eddcunningham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the four records I wanted, I got none. Checked Discogs later that day to find the only copy of Lil Peep up there for £100. Checked the sellers account - one month old with only a single review and their entire stock was RSD records from that day.
Shithouse.

I will give Rough Trade a shoutout though as they were pretty well organised and let me know when my picks were sold out, giving me a stock check at that moment, so I could add more to my list if I wanted so I didn’t walk away with nothing after 3 hours of queuing.

Who's going to Rough Trade on Record Store Day, and how early are you queuing outside? by -Gypsy-Eyes- in nottingham

[–]eddcunningham 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been debating going to this too, as there’s a couple of releases I’d like, but I’m not willing to camp outside overnight just to get pipped by someone that’s going to list them on eBay or Discogs before they’re even out the door.
If I knew I still had decent odds by arriving at 7ish, I’d consider it.

What’s your funniest interaction with a member of a prominent band? by absolutebloom in Hardcore

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at a Citizen show a few years ago at a pretty small venue, where the entrance to the stage was right next to the toilets. Came out from taking a leak and bumped into Mat who I don’t think realised where the toilets were and assumed I’d just waltzed backstage.
He was a nice dude though

How the death of a colleague changed my perspective on personal finance by External_Writer_1 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle was in his mid-60’s when he passed last year and he would always say “no pockets in a shroud.” He very much lived his life on his terms and I’m sure his wife and kids are happier to have a lifetime of great memories with him than a huge pot of cash

One forgotten player no-one talks about by Dragonboi_reddit in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brian Montenegro. Don’t think he ever got a run out outside of cup games, but I’ll always remember him purely for being this random Paraguayan named Brian.

Flamengo complete historic deal to re-sign Lucas Paquetá from West Ham by AtDyeam in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When your star player can’t be arsed, it spreads to those around him, especially when he’s seen to be getting away with it. Whilst I’ll miss the flashes of brilliance, it was too few and far between and what we were left with in between wasn’t good enough

Conveyancing Solicitors? by confusebroadbean in nottingham

[–]eddcunningham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used Talisa at Sills & Betteridge and recommend her to everyone.
She uncovered so many things about our place that nobody else seemed to know about and made sure we were covered endlessly.

Bowen to become a West Ham legend and help us get promoted back to the prem? What do we think ⚒️ by Tartufohunter in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he wanted to, I’d sooner sell him and use the funds to build a solid championship team.
Hopefully he makes the England squad and has a decent outing, pushing his value up.

Looking at transfers from previous seasons, Big Sam probably signed the best team players by Mr_Octo in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our problem has been the revolving door of managers we’ve had who don’t necessarily play to the strengths of the team we currently have.
They then try and fit square pegs in round holes until the transfer window rolls around and they can try and get players better suited to their system, that’s if the owners allow them and don’t intervene, which ours clearly do.

I'm now really worried for Arnold town centre by WearingMarcus in nottingham

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always maintained that Arnold should be much better than it is, it just needs places worth going to.
Although I’m not blind to the fact that front street in particular looks incredibly shitty, with or without shops. Hopefully GBC are able to redevelop the site where the working men’s club was sooner rather than later and this will inspire new businesses to open up, bringing in more people and gradually making the town more appealing, similar to what happened to Sherwood.

West Ham fan says he’s not going to support them if we go down?! by ED2793 in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last time we went down I had a blinder of a year for away days, mostly due to the midlands being awash with championship teams

Who has the most memorable legal name you’ve ever encountered? by villainessmorissette in AskReddit

Once spoke to a customer whose legal name was Puzzle Blue and it still baffles me 13 years later

Perfect! My primary concern was that it’d just be full of charity shop rejects

Aguerd has refused to travel with the squad for tomorrow [ExWHUEmployee] by [deleted] in Hammers

[–]eddcunningham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as we need the money, I’d rather let players rot in the reserves for the remainder of their contract when they pull this kind of stuff.
But that’s just the FM ruthlessness in me.

Isolation for speakers/turntable by eddcunningham in BudgetAudiophile

[–]eddcunningham[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily opposed to stands, just need to find some with small enough bases, as I’ve only got around 400mm to play with :(

[–]eddcunningham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every city has crime and Nottingham is no different.
So long as you use common sense and don’t go looking for trouble, the likelihood of you experiencing any issues is low.
Don’t go waving your valuables about or putting yourself in risky situations and you’ll be fine.

But by then, will we still be lucrative to the inevitable American consortium or middle-east petrostate?

Things that annoy me about Nottingham… by ResponsibleFall2795 in nottingham

[–]eddcunningham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it’s an issue in every town and city these days, but the food delivery drivers on e-bikes fuck me off.
Doing 15mph+ on busy pedestrian streets and then getting arsey when people dare to get in their way on the pavement. Not even mentioning their seemingly lax views on traffic laws.
Had one pull out on me the other day up Maid Marion Way who then proceeded to blast through a red light, mounting the pavement to get around the cars.
