The bomb shelter thread.

Burnley......the town that time forgot.
End of the known Universe
Indeed.
Any excuse to repost this:


Posted this elsewhere on here, but my lord “Burnleh” is an intensely strange place.

Ended up in the lash there several years back with a mate. And he was rambling on about how great the black pudding was in Burnley.

So we ended up wandering around the allegedly ‘world famous’ Burnley market on the hunt for some.

What a grim place that market was.
Every stall sold either knock off phone cases, nick-nacks (novelty lighters and crap fridge magnets) or really crap ‘Ethel Austin’ grade clothes.

The people all looked like something from Village of the Damned.

We never found any Black Pudding.

There was only 3 other shops in n the complex: Primark, Cash Converters and Heron (the holy trinity)

Outside some fella had set up a merry-go-round for the kids. It was literally a circular piece of plywood, painted red with a load of kids garden furniture nailed to it. He was pushing it around with his foot...

Burnley, what a place.
 

I accidentally snorted some ground coffee earlier and my nostril is on fire.

I was grinding coffee, some was still on my hand and I didn't realise when I was itching my nose.
I'll never forget the sweet sting of messily eating a kebab covered in hot chilli sauce while drunk and then taking my contact lenses out without washing my hands.
 
I often look at the Everton fans online bit when I log on and always loads of chaps I have never seen post. Wonder why they'd want to read our drivel lol
The notorious lurkers. It must be like going to the zoo and watching the gorillas poking each other instantly after wiping their arses.

It’s not even as if you could label the conversation and debate meaningful because it’s primarily the floppy fathers shouting at each other.
 

Will this shelter be open during Euro 2020? Desperately seeking a hiding place, away from the dressed up orange clowns, that take over this country during an international tournament. It's already starting with all the adverts on television. Absolutely hate it. It's not about football, it's a circus act.
Czech adverts feature overweight fans squeezing into football shirts or threatening to beat up buskers, honestly.

It's pretty clear the contempt the ad. agencies hold football fans in. They also manage to shoehorn Petr Cech into some of them, for example, a best man and groom ignoring the wedding to follow the online updates of a football match while the wooden goalkeeper looks on indulgently.

If the shelter isn't open I am going to live in a tree for a month.

And don't even mention the inflatable windmills, clogs, cheeses and whatever else those clowns carry with them, or wear on their heads.

Normal, I mean club fans is the same here, but the national team is big business for them. Rinse them out for every penny they have.

I might be alone in noticing this, but did anyone else see during the CL final yesterday a shot of distraught female Man City fan who, realising she was on camera, perked up instantly and waved?

I forgot TV companies do this, especially for larger tournaments. Make it stop, shelter, make it stop.
