Julio Cruz posted:it's impressive how much of the people claiming England played well weren't in TRP yesterday Hi, football fan for 40 years and actual season ticket holder telling you that you have no loving clue what you're talking about. Also loving lol at using *any* internet forum as your appeal to authority.

Miftan posted:Probably one of those things where if you weren't raised with it, it doesn't appeal to you. Imagine someone describing Haggis or Black Pudding to you if you didn't grow up with them? Chocolate + orange is just a bad combo and jaffa cakes are also bad. Sainsbury's had a really nice chai masala flavoured lassi for a while, but they've now replaced it with a chocolate orange version. However you feel about chocolate and orange I think we can all agree that chocolate orange yogurt drink is utterly disgusting.

I don't watch a lot of football but my friends & partner are mad for it & they're all saying pretty much the same thing as Jakabite  & whilst we're on this, something that's been bugging me itt: I can totally get being pissed off about a vocal minority of England fans being cunts, disliking the concept of England as a whole, and just not being into football. I am all of those things. What I don't get is how that translates into relentlessly making GBS threads on something that a whole bunch of other people, most of whom are not cunts, are enjoying. At that point, you're just Being A Dick. People are having fun watching the football, personally I like to join in because fun is fun but nobody's making you, so just... let people have fun? e: just for the record this isn't at anyone in particular, just a general sense I'm getting, so I might be shouting at clouds here Borrovan fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 30, 2021 |

I know nothing about football but they seemed to be doing well in the first half then lost their momentum entirely until all the goal scoring happened.

At a good gig, everyone is having too good a time to consider whether anyone looks silly. Last Orbital gig I went to (two years ago) I was dead centre in the front row. I had a guy about 30 on my right, and on my left a 14 year old girl at her first gig whose dad had asked me if I could make sure she didn't get squashed because he wanted to be further back. They were giving me poo poo because I wasn't dancing. E: here's the gig I went to on the 2018 tour, so you can see the front row and how little anyone gives a gently caress. https://youtu.be/xkQgXZxJ3PI Jedit fucked around with this message at 12:34 on Jun 30, 2021 |

When life returns to normal I really want to go see the Sleaford Mods, but in a venue with comfy seats and a sound desk willing to make reasonable adjustments for my delicate disposition (thinking of seeing New Order years back where people were rushing the booth pleading for them to turn it down cos it was literally doing harm and spoiling the show and being told to gently caress off)

Football has some big issues but I am dead against criticising it for its own sake. Very snobby thing to do. If someone comes up and tells me they're in to choral performance I feign interest and I expect the same courtesy As a Scot living in London that means I have to suck up regular bouts of stuff coming home, satiating myself by going on the windup when it inevitably doesn't. It's easier at the moment because the England team seems to be mainly composed of nice lads that mean well. However I think what a lot of England fans and the BBC simply don't get is that in football terms they are Germany to us. No-one expects England to be happy when Germany wins the World Cup but I am regularly challenged on why I wont back England to win major tournaments.

Josef bugman posted:everything needs to have a reason behind it I am also like that (despite my better judgement) and the musical answer for me is opera, because the story helps give the music purpose. (I'm not sure why this works when I find it difficult to watch films, but think it's probably because opera has fewer lingering closeups.)

Borrovan posted:I don't watch a lot of football but my friends & partner are mad for it & they're all saying pretty much the same thing as Jakabite It's because England fans are absolutely loving obnoxious cunts who at the first sign of a goal start repeating that it's coming home, TWO WORLD WARS AND ONE WORLD CUP, & as a not English person the thought of actually experiencing them winning something makes me want to die. Actually, that's unfair on my part. The fans are easily ignored because I don't live among them. But as a British person who isn't English & likes to watch football games, I get quite resentful when during Ukraine vs Botswana the commentators have to talk about how Harry Kane is feeling before England's game against Mars & Glen Hoddle being a completely vacuous prick, possibly the single most annoying man in all television history, & even when they aren't talking about the England team they are finding tenuously links to THE GREATEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD™ & god shut the gently caress up & just talk about the game. In short, as with 90% of things, the problem is the media forget that Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales also get their TV feed, in fact pay for the privilege, & act like we're all behind England & it's incredibly tedious. It's been 55 years since they won the World Cup & they still go on about it. Congrats, you've won fewer World Cups than Uruguay, can you loving wheesht yet? That Three Lions song doesn't help either. It also doesn't help that Scotland are loving guff so really all I'm left with is schadenfreude & kidding on that I've a granny from every country in the world that lets me kid on I've a reason for wanting to see England lose for reasons other than the same reasons I want to see Caley lose but with added media obnoxiousness

Josef bugman posted:Don't really think I want to be the sad old guy dancing at a club, but I take your meaning. Scenes that were popular in the 90s/early 00s seem to be largely made up of the same people who liked it then, so everyone is the sad old person dancing at the club and none of them stand out. Pre-covid, there was barely anyone under 30 at some of the goth or metal scene events I went to and people there well into their 50s. Different if you went to events where they're actually aimed at young people and hit whatever type of music was on trend though.

I am actually quite glad every time I remember I never spend any money on music or sports. e: not like I don't listen to music, I don't have that thing wher eyou can't appreciate rythm and music (a real syndrome), I just never spend any money or time on it, I just turn on the radio. I just never got people that would spend hours listening to CDs, like a lot of my friends did when I was a kid. I've never cared enough about a band to spend money on CDs, or going to their concerts or other merchandise. I saved my money for videogames and 3D accelerator hardware as a kid.

I mean, unless I'm really vibeing out to an album, or actively figuring out drum or guitar parts, I'm usually using music to complete something else I'm doing - work, socialising, a nice walk, doing some DIY, reading a book, etc. Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks is a good book for some discussion on the ubiquity of music in our lives from the perspective of a neurologist and music-lover, and looks at a lot of weird disorders related to music. Probably just as interesting to a reader with the outsider perspective
