    The country thread

    I would say, from my (albeit fairly limited experience) the new Nashville seems to dominate a lot of the dominant taste for contemporary country music, which is a shame. There are about 1/4 of songs I really like, and the rest I find quite irritating. There was an hour or so of older stuff I...

    The General England Euro 2016 Thread

    Good to see a minority of England fans let us down again. I have realised for the three England games I am, respectively: in a family commitment I can't get out of, at work, and on a plane. Fuckin' 'ell.

    Roberto Di Mateo - Appointed Aston Villa Boss.

    Good, I think. I know Richardson was very unpopular with Villa fans, and I don't really know why N'Zogbia was in the squad the past year or two. As for Di Matteo, I think that's probably a really good appointment for Villa, but people who are tipping them for an automatic spot should probably...

    Running

    I would appreciate advice from anyone knowledgeable here. I am slowly building up my distance, and my latest run was about 14km/8.5 miles. I think when I get past around 10 miles I'm going to need something with a bit more energy in it than water. Can anyone that runs at this distance recommend...

    The country thread

    There's a DAB station you can get in some parts of the UK (from memory it's the London area, Manchester, Portsmouth and a couple of other places) called Chris Country, which plays some reasonably good songs every now and then. My other half is a big fan, so I have had to get used to it. I also...

    European Union Referendum

    Voted for post today, so am going to try to pretend this referendum campaign is on hold until election day.

    The General England Euro 2016 Thread

    I don't know how old you are, but yeah, that. Fabio Capello got a lot of unfair stick as well. People who don't like Hodgson can rarely offer a better manager as an alternative.

    European Union Referendum

    Any laws are subject to approval? Really? Some of them are, yes, but not all of them. Not most of them. What does that actually mean?

    The General England Euro 2016 Thread

    For those who are saying Hodgson 'is a shit manager', was there something about the 10 wins out of 10 in qualifying that you thought needed improving upon? The England team has lost two out of its last 21 games (Spain and the Netherlands). We've beaten Portugal, Germany and France in that time...

    The General England Euro 2016 Thread

    I hear it a lot, but I don't know if it's what 'everyone' calls him. It's a pet peeve of mine. It never sounds like an 'affectionate' nickname to me, it sounds like taking the piss out of someone with a speech impediment, using the same tired joke people have been parroting for about five...

    The General England Euro 2016 Thread

    Woy? Oh, because his name is Roy and he has a mild speech impediment. Hysterical.

    The Vegan Thread

    Leaving aside the faddy/not faddy aspect of the conversation, do you really think that someone with a typical diet would be much healthier than a vegan that was making a good effort to eat all the right things? I ask this because people critical of veganism often bring up certain nutritional...

    European Union Referendum

    To pick you up on that last point, I suppose it's what one perceives as bias. Newspapers don't hide they have an editorial opinion, whereas TV broadcasters (excluding people like Russia Today) largely try to make a stab at impartiality. I read The Guardian, know it has a centre-left bias, and...

    European Union Referendum

    Regarding the press, they are reporting what the government has been saying. Like it or not, the government's opinion on the referendum is newsworthy. In terms of the TV media, I think the broadcasters have been striving to be even-handed. However, in terms of the print press, the Daily...

    Next season's shirts

    I think those are all quite nice. Not sure why they're against a background of smeared paint though. They've been watching too much Masterchef, your graphic designers.

    The "recently purchased" thread (AKA I just bought this)

    I always have a bottle of this in. It goes well with anything you can think of. Particularly good in a toasted cheese sandwich.

    1FF Members You've Met

    I met Dr Mantis/Ian, Jockney a couple of times, and about five people who were from the old TFF (Anita who was a Leicester fan and I think an admin at some point, a Blues fan who had long hair whose name I have forgotten, a third person, and Jenny who was a Doncaster fan).

    What do you do for a living?

    Alas I am afraid I cannot. Jobs are very thin on the ground in the sector unfortunately. I commission writers but I'm the only member of editorial staff on the publication. It's not, but Smart Arse Digest need a new contributor if you're able to spare the time? :happy:
