Off-topic thread

therecklessone · 14-06-2009 8:30pm #1

Right lads, the thread title says it all, this is for any general chat you want to have with each other than anything related to Spurs that is! Movies, music, travel, work, whatever you want to chat about is fair game, apart from as outlined below...

Couple of guidelines:

1. Please no talking about other football, there's a forum for that (see the link under my username

) and I don't want to invite non-Spurs punters on to this forum to start arguing about other teams.

2. All of the usual rules in the charter about abuse, legal stuff, porn etc etc still apply.

3. No whinging about other forums (their users, their mods, their reason for being and all other stuff) on boards, leave that sh1t at the door.

Other than that knock yourselves out.

I Ehem have it here st home must watch it, I went to see The hangover with the OH last weekend, its Epic I'd really reccommend it.

IanCurtis · 15-06-2009 12:27pm

What's the point of this? There's a film forum and everything else. This is ridiculous.

Gamesnash.ie: Pat · 15-06-2009 12:33pm

The point is that therecklessone is trying to get a bit of community spirit going. The forums own off topic thread where Spurs supporters can muck about in and get to know each other makes a lot of sense.

There are off topic threads in most of the other diverse forums too.

Meathfan · 15-06-2009 1:02pm

Agree with you Pat.

There is a lot of point in having an off topic area where Spurs fans can talk about things other than Spurs.

I fully support it.

Hey good place to put some clean jokes as well.:D

Gamesnash.ie: Pat · 15-06-2009 2:50pm

Clean jokes for some reason are rarely as funny. Then again that just might be my mentallity

There is, but maybe the people who post here would like to converse about things other than Spurs, and maybe just maybe that might help us get to know each other a bit better, and see the community grow and flourish a bit more.

If it's not to your tastes then you're free to give it a miss.

ziedth · 15-06-2009 7:30pm

i think ian maybe banned from the film fourm and it is still a sore point.

On a side note, my poor all white cat snowie is heavily pregnant. She's like me and mrs ziedth's baby. As i look at her here she looks like a bowling pin

Hatch99 · 15-06-2009 8:11pm

DVD's lads, aint seen a decent one since Taken, anyone reccomend one.

Meathfan · 15-06-2009 8:26pm

As I said Gran tourino is very good...and
Hatch mate ..Taken was brilliant..

Look out for night at museum 2..it is good for brainless night in with a few beers:D

Step Brothers is also a brilliant movie but not if there are young kids around:D

Spider_Baby! · 15-06-2009 8:55pm

So, err....How about them Spurs?

Meathfan · 15-06-2009 9:02pm

Is that a new film ?

Mr. Guappa · 15-06-2009 9:53pm

Recorded My Name is Joe last week on Film 4 because they recommended it on Matt Cooper, about halfway through at the moment and its excellent. The thick Scottish accent can be tough to understand at some points though.

I have to go and see the hangover during the week.i'v heard so many people say how good it is..by the way i think this thread is a great idea..:cool:

Wendell Gee · 15-06-2009 10:22pm

three things everyone should do this summer.
Host a party - country's up the jacksy, so lets go back to making our own fun
read The Damned United - David Peace is in Clough's head, and the world looks a little different from in there -fantastic
Go to an U-14 hurling match, if ther's none where you're from, come to Wexford for one, and then go to see Mick Wallace's amatuer wonders.
Trust me, I'm right

therecklessone · 15-06-2009 11:56pm

Have to say, watched Gran Torino a few weeks ago on a night duty in work and I was very impressed. Clint is the bollox.

Been watching Battlestar Galactica a fair bit the last few days, cracking TV tbh.

ziedth · 16-06-2009 8:03pm

So who's the most famous footballer you'e met?

For me was prob jack charlton, I idolised him as a young lad in the italy 90/usa 94 era. Nice man too TBF.

BOLT · 16-06-2009 8:37pm

The omnipresent JG...met him in a hotel (The Albany) in Birmingham when he was working for Central TV (Pre-Saint & Greavsie)...

therecklessone · 16-06-2009 8:52pm

Graham Roberts, Mickey Hazard, Paul Allen (who is an absolute gentleman), Bobby Smith, and Steve Perryman.

Think that's them all.

Meathfan · 16-06-2009 8:57pm

Ossie A. when he signed a shirt for me which my son has framed and proudly hung on his wall.

Even though he did speak a bit fast.

Gary Mabutt and Martin Jol.

Worst Berbatov....took 20 mins to get him to sign anything

Met the legends that are Pat Jennings and Alan Mullery

during a dinner and match gig at the lane that my wife bought me as a birthday present few years back. Mido and Lennon put in an appearance too. Had a brief few words with Martin Jol that day too. He's as fierce looking up close as he can be on the telly.

Years ago as a kid went to a soccer camp with Chris Hughton as the coach. I was the only Spurs fan !!!!!

Fúck sake lads, this ain't the place for laughing at bans, or mods, or other forums. Leave it out before you land this forum in the sh1t.

Meathfan · 16-06-2009 10:25pm

I have hinted at my kids to look here for a small gift:D

Met Paul Mcgrath a few years back, lovely fella.

If you want a good laugh some evening watch the inbetweeners on e4, not sure what night they show it. Great show with plenty of laughs

Haven't met him, but he was in the Wetherspoons in Stansted a few years ago after a game, wearing a brown suede suit that make him look like a sex offender :pac:

Good shout mate, quality TV. 1st season was better over all, but the Duke of Edinburgh Awards episode in the 2nd season was great, OAPedo

He wasn't wearing the brown suede suit when I met him at Spurs Lodge, just training gear...I don't think I'd have approached him if I saw him in the brown suit!:D

Fúck this, I'm coughing like an aul fella with a dose of TB, went for pints last night after work and I'm just getting over a bad viral infection so that wasn't the smartest move ever...thing is, I have to go for pints tomorrow night with an old colleague who's retired to Mallorca but is back in the country for a week, and he's a demon for a pint so he'll leave me in sh1te order.

Was supposed to go to Cork at the weekend but I've had to cancel that as I still need to recover properly from this dose, and I'll be out Thursday night as well...reckon I'll be in bed all weekend, I'm getting old...:o

ziedth · 17-06-2009 12:44am

tell me about it ronan, i going airsofting and binge drinking in dublin two weeks in a row next week then a 24hr camping session in curracloe the following week.

i went to one of these soccer schools that was run for a week over summer when I was about 12, and Ozzie Ardiles was supposed to be there to train with us.
Imagaine my disappointment when he didnt show up and we had to make do with Pat Jennings.
That was the day I decided never to perm my hair

Tough going, you'll be in bits. I'm off to Slane on sat and if i make it back to Tipp in one piece I'm off to the Tipp V Clare hurling match in limerick on Sunday..there will be lot of lager drank on both days..:D

Wendell Gee · 18-06-2009 11:41am

Walking in the procession in Ferns last Sunday (son, the spurs one, is a communicant this year) feeling like an extra in reeling in the years, when Paul McGrath came out of the supermarket with a box of groceries (sorry to say, mostly liquid). Our greatest ever footballer -who could have been the Dave Mackay of the late 80's-90's for Spurs if Venebles had had his way- then had to make his way through the zombie army and sit in his car, trapped, as the parade wandered by. It felt like the moment in the Katy Perry video when the unicorn appears. In the week that was in it, for someone who grew up in an orphanage, it was a shocking occurence. The man should be elected President next year, not be stuck in the back of Ferns. Still a legend, in every sense of the word. respect

ziedth · 18-06-2009 2:23pm

Ya a True Legend,

His book is some read. When he was involved with waterford united Everyone knew it was going to end badly but still for the few weeks he was there there was some buzz around the club.

therecklessone · 18-06-2009 5:34pm

I love a good defender, and McGrath ruled Giant's Stadium against Italy in 1994. It was one of the best performances I've ever seen from a defender, he was a truly amazing footballer. I keep eaning to buy his book, I'll try pick it up this weekend.

You can have my copy Mate

ziedth · 20-06-2009 12:48am

ok here's one for ya lads,

Which would you prefer to see? (be honest)

Spurs win the prem

Ireland win the WC

Ireland win rugby world cup

Your county win the all ireland

Another win something

For me even though i'm prob in for it i'd say ireland win the WC in 2010 no question. Spurs being second.

Gamesnash.ie: Pat · 20-06-2009 9:02am

Don't care much for the egg chasing.

Gaa is a passing interest thing for me so not a contender.

Ireland winning the world cup vs Spurs winning the premier league is a tough tough tough question.

I'd have to go for my country without question so it's Ireland winning the world cup that would be at number 1 but if absolutely honest would probably get more enjoyment out of Spurs winning.

therecklessone · 20-06-2009 9:26am

Don't think I could handle all the w*nkers screaming ole ole ole if Ireland won a WC, so I'd go with a league win for Spurs.

WhiteWashMan · 20-06-2009 11:12am

spurs to win the league.
At least the fallout of that is that we would be in the CL and get to sign some good players.
ireland winning the WC would be nothing, coz they would go out and lose to the Faroes or something straight away.

Look at greece ffs!

therecklessone · 20-06-2009 9:34pm

Off to Punchestown next weekend for AC/DC, looking forward to it.
