What's on my mind is that there used to be a thread called "What's On Your Mind?" but it was inexplicably locked after 111 pages.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Already a chick-magnet, tro, but it did come in handy as a conversation topic one night a couple of months ago. Had 4 dates with the girl now (she's an absolutely awesome person, by the way) and if she wasn't living 200 miles away at the moment it would be many more, I'm sure!

Maybe...I'm not sure yet. I don't have anybody to go with and it just seems strange thinking about going to a gig alone, although I'm sure many do it.
I might just buy a (fucking ridiculously expensive) ticket and do it. I'll have to just check the date.

I remember that clutch of late 80s, early 90s bands, centred around 4AD, trying to distinguish their little movement. Seems awfully quaint now. Funny how two otherworldly Boston bands came in on that tiny little English slipstream.

Oh I know it doesn't really matter, just a word. I just like it as it reminds me of you every time. Even away from this place. Ain't it funny how strangers make us smile in a good way. Thanks, tro!! |

I always type "the Pixies" but remove the "the" because of trobrianders.
Oh you know what though. I don't see it matters. If I don't often say "the Pixies" myself, it's just out of habit.

Yeah probably traditionally clubs would just have one kit man but recently, especially at a high level it's necessary to have more than one. My official title is Assistant Kit Manager, there are three kit men in total. There is always something to do, a big part of it is mundane stuff like washing kit after training, which takes a few hours on a good day. Then there's printing the kits up for each match with the correct sleeve badges (Football League, Europa League etc...), names and numbers. That can be time consuming too. So when players swap shirts at the end of a match...yep, more work for me! Most important thing: DO NOT FORGET ANYTHING FOR A MATCH DAY! Boots, shinpads... they're a superstitious lot, footballers!
It doesn't really sound like a lot of work until you do it. I wasn't trying to say it's a shitty job by the way, just that there's a lot of shitty stuff to do at times. And of course it's not every season we lift a trophy, that would make it better!

I never knew you were a kit man. I didn't even know that clubs had more than one. On TV they always talk about THE kit man.
What does your job entail exactly, how did you get it and what makes it so shitty?

Oh I got so many pictures with the cup, it's once in a lifetime stuff for me! Being a kit man for the team I support just happened to pay off that day...the other 99% of times are bullshit and disappointment, same as lots of jobs! Shame I couldn't get a picture with the Community Shield, bloody Man Utd...
Thanks for the congrats.

My dad was in tears at the final whistle so my mother says. Unbelievable stuff! Wigan Athletic beating Manchester City in the FA Cup Final... it just doesn't happen... does it!? Tro, thanks for your support and interest in the match, it means a lot!

A very belated congratulations, but more importantly - how the hell did this photo come about?
Thanks for sticking one to City. |

Skunks. Two weeks ago my wife counted five young ones doing some kinda of dance, chase and grab ass thing. We have a floodlight in the backyard wich makes it easier to see the nocturnal goings on.

it's baby skunk season again. i find it interesting how young skunks are when they set out on their own, into the big bad world.
it takes humans 18 years (or more) to leave the nest. skunks, as soon as they can walk it seems, venture out (despite dangers like cars, dogs, coyotes, humans etc...). it's kind of rad

A Canadian guy on a motorbike with a little metal case trailing behind with the Canadian flag on it asked me for directions today. I just thought I'd mention that. |

No, unfortunately. If I was drunk I probably wouldn't be thinking about these things. |

floop, I just got back from a 'date' but kind of not a date, just casual 'drinks' with the awesome girl. I've got so much of a crush it's unreal. She's interesting, funny, beautiful...all the things anyone wants in a partner. I even managed to close the night with a kiss! I felt like a king! She's still moving away but it turns out it could only be for 6 or so months. This could be someone I definitely persue.
