Ah the old 50 4 9.50 instead of 11.25 15% saving + 75% less packaging versus 62 @ £15 4 0.24 per 1 or £18 / kilo dilemma.

It's a quite remarkable tone.

Excellent work as usual, Tony. I particularly enjoyed the John Hegley-style rhythms and rhymes of:
"...these travelling trawlermen had many taller men than our smaller men."

Hell no! And I think he'd fit in rather well: sports stats nerd, good sense of humour, interesting hair....

Early adopters, eh. Cath and my mum both had Covid before it had a name, this time it's you.
May it bugger off quickly.

Tbh, I think he's part of the orchestra. On the fiddle. In all senses.

Your Diagnosis: Lurgy the other day was right, then.
Have a swift recovery!

Matt Bianco, The Smiths, Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran among many others. The popmaster of football reporting strikes again. Five stars, would recommend.

Well, that makes my 98% over 1027 games look pathetic!
Impressive stuff. Hoping Town can go on a similar run.

I've been called similar.
Oh, amazing! I'm honoured.

Ah, they were doing so well until the Y. What happened? So reminiscent of a 50-yard weaving run into the box, and then an air kick.
Also, natch, want to know what it is, *snort*, which belongs to their coffin, aha ha, that they have to prepare, aha, eh-heh...
Anyway, what's Bob up to these days?

Totally inconvenient for everyone concerned, innit. What we need is more trust, more common sense, and less of being told what to do by Systems.

Indeed. There are some drivers who are dicks, but most are trying their hardest, I reckon, while being micromanaged and shouted at by a fucking handset which has been programmed, by greedy capitalist bastards, with absolutely no human being factors included.

So I see - also sous vide and saute! I'm sounding hissy too now.

Blimey, that has a few more features than the one my mum had. That had... a lid.
Quiet is an excellent thing though. That childhood one always had me running for cover, lest the high-pitched hiss irreparably split my eardrums.

...and if you tell kids today all that, they'd... well, they'd probably be really bored, not know wtf you were talking about, and avoid further conversations.

Yes, we had that too! You could ring anyone else in Ludford with their 3-digit phone number. I'm laughing as I write that. Ridiculous.
'What's your phone number?'
'376'
Anyone else on the Burgh-on-Bain exchange added two digits, anyone outside of that, the full Louth area code.

This is one of those little jokey world-building details they add into near-future dystopian sci-fi films.
The crypto thing, not you going to bed.

The five a side tournament! Played in that a couple of times. And lost, mostly. Difficult to field even a five a side team from a village school such as Ludford's, with its total of 10 junior pupils across all four years.

Hey, Ludford was my home from ages 10-18! You're quite right about it, of course.
Though the 101 Squadron and its secret agent Lancasters did give it an interesting and mysterious past - and a great subject for my A Level history project.

Seconded, the Christmas greeting and the thanks, both. So much excellent writing on codalmighty, I fear I take it for granted sometimes. UTM

This conversation has had an unfortunate side effect of being followed by an account dedicated to... ah, I shouldn't use the words again... er.... Crapto and... Buttcoin. I've done my first blue-sky blockin.

To be honest, I've been having doubts that any kind of money actually exists. Yes, I realise this makes me sound like a stoner.

I don't understand crypto. I don't know whether this is because I'm now getting too old for new-fangled ideas, or if the whole thing is a big pile of magic bean shit.
