Blue Saturday

Stath's been phoning it in for the last decade

nonsense - he delivered a career-best performance in spy (2015) and he was excellent in this year's finest film, fast & furious presents: hobbs & shaw

TO NAME BUT TWO

I enjoyed Spy and tbf me and Joel were gonna watch Magnet and Steel but we got drunk and watched Force On The Case on YouTube instead

sort it out, it's fuckin great

I was amused by Idris doing the Black Superman bit in the trailer

apparently it was supposed to be 'black james bond' but idris refused to say the line

i don't know where or what or why i am and i don't know why i'm telling you this but the sea is so everywhere and beautiful and empty

and it will turn ugly again

but it will still be the sea

Good morning NV. Still feeling benthic?

Lying here in my little boat wishing breakfast would make itself or wandering whether I can carry off a trip to the shops in pyjamas and dressing gown

Going on a bit of a Park Chan-Wook tear is probably contraindicated.

I thought I'd channel some NV spirit this morning and rang that Labour councillor I posted about on the politics thread. I told him I've had some time to think about it and there is not a fucking chance I'm turning up at that meeting or any others in the foreseeable future.

What’d he say?

He was impeccably polite about it and said "I hope to see you soon". But he was a manipulative slimeball on the phone to me on saturday, and I had a bit of retrospective anger building up in me about how easily I was played!

what thread were we talking about that on?

a trip to the shops in pyjamas and dressing gown

arthur dent chic is in this season iirc

xp
rolling UK politics saturday nite!

yeah it must be for the "skipping posts" bit, couldn't find it

it's probably way into the graveyard

Enjoy how that thread just segues into chat cos so many of us are on there regularly and it’s so fast moving...probably annoying if you’re a lurker though

lurkers of the board, decloak

If you have yet to acquire true sight, just cast glitterdust.

remember the time he accidentally posted his dick

I really hate Chris Sutton

I barely remember Chris Sutton, apart from his fallow Chelsea period.

Also sometimes dragging sport into the politics thread is funny because of the annoyance

God I really hate Ant and Dec as well

And the TV channel Dave

And vast swathes of the UK electorate

Literally reading his Wikipedia page and had to scroll back up twice to look at his picture again. He’d make a great spy.

Tony Watt, the most outspokenly pro-Labour footballer on Twitter as far as I know, is quite pally with Sutton. yeah the Celtic connection but I think there's something to Sutton having a decent political outlook for all his cockish comments about football itself

I prefer to post tweets to there to annoy people who bitch about it, and any other stupid thing that comes into my head tbh

I'll also say this about Watt: for a kid who got to play for the club he supports, he's incredibly non-bitter about having left them so soon, and he tries to watch (and enthuse about) all their games whenever it doesn't interfere with his gaming and occasional CSKA Sofia career

I went on an 18 hour bender yesterday and ended up sympathy snogging some guy at 5 in the morning which was a drunky dick move on my part and the bad feeling is making this hangover worserer.

Christmas TV adverts make me sad and angry and anxious and I feel like I am a wastrel burden on my family and loved ones and I hate Chris Sutton's stupid fucking opinions that he has for money and whitey's on the moon.

Taking the information from imago on board tho.

FUXK YOU SMIRNOFF HOW FUCKING DARE YOU USE SHIMMY SHIMMY YA

He’s into CoD though... 👎🏻

xp sympathy what

yasss

I'm a lonely dick tease who just wants a cuddle when I'm several hours into the drink

anyway there are only like three good Christmas ads imo and absolutely none of them are John Lewis ones, and you aren’t a burden or wastrel

xp better than being an angry or aggressive drinker imo

I was cataloguing my drunky personae this afternoon, just realised there are a few of them. None of them are angry or nasty tbh but I used to have a horrible mouth on me when my ex tried to suggest I'd had enough to drink, another regret I'm never gonna outlive.

There's a funny drunky and a can't talk any more drunky and a sententious won't shut up drunky who I really regret and there's karaoke drunky and talking to random strangers who probably want you to fuck off unless they're drunky drunky and the what if I just keep walking all the way round the world drunky

oh god and the drunky who once staggered round a party full of French people rambling on and on about LHOOQ then fell into a rosebush and couldn't get out

and the drunky at a corporate book launch who mistook the chairman for a waiter and asked him for a glass of red

(just interrupting to bid you all check out LBI's excellent travelogue work on the snooker thread)

Ah right I wondered why that was revived

maybe you should poll Drunky NV but my vote will always be Faust Arp

chairman or gtfo

It's kind of funny and makes a yarn but really it stopped being funny years ago. One of the things I loved about "The Beach Bum" is the way it invokes the "lol legend" and "tedious, exploitative wanker" aspects of the chronic addict all at once

oi

I kind of enjoy the Mariah crisps advert, just to inject a note of positivity to leaven all my get in the ocean cobblers.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled is actually running an ad campaign saying how shit his shittily-titled album of shit music is when in fact the album is shit.

hi everyone, not in a blue saturday way meself hi everyone just yknow hi

👋🏻
I always feel a bit awkward talking irl too much on here (or anywhere outside 77) but I’ve had better weeks!
