The Mick Take

Just a middle-aged bloke grumbling my way through life, one annoyance at a time.

@TheCriticalDri2 Reason 1: Because it’s such a joyous masterpiece, you’ll end up feeling sad about the shit state of modern movies?

@sw_holocron @DEADLINE Oh absolutely. Just sneaks inside the top 10 for me

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@Priceman71 @footballtweet That’s a fair statement. And true for many. But some will still be around 10 years later when the team isn’t winning, paying for membership fees, buying a shirt, travelling at great expense to watch a few live matches, learning the history. They care every bit as much as a local.

We should have kept a closer eye on Percy.

British maths…

“I’ll be there in a minute”
I’ll be there within half an hour.

“I stayed for a couple”
I had 9 pints.

“It was a while ago now”
Anything from a few months to a decade.

“I was in the queue for hours”
I was in the queue for over 8 minutes.

“The queue was a mile long”
The queue had over 6 people in it.

“Give me a sec”
Give me 15-30 minutes.

“I’m just around the corner”
I’m three bus stops away.

“A bit of a trek”
Could be half a mile, could be 100 miles.

“I saw her the other day”
I might have seen her a few days ago, you might have seen her a fortnight ago, nobody knows.

“I’m doing it now”
I’d forgotten about it so I’m about to start doing it in a panic.

“See you later on”
I’ll see you later today.

“I might see you later on”
You won’t be seeing me again today.

“See you later”
I’ve no intention of seeing you again for at least six months.

@TheCinesthetic Alien Covenant. I’ve tried twice and can’t get past about 40 minutes. Horrifically bad

@NoContextBrits I tend to buy trousers in adult sizes

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@NoContextBrits I would happily live on cheesy chips and curry sauce

Why is ordering coffee so complicated these days?

I’m delighted to share that I’m no longer suffering through Dry January! Here’s my lovely Guiness settling nicely. Have a great Friday evening everyone. Cheers!

@TheCriticalDri2 Wait this isn’t a comedy sketch? Shit the bed the world is broken!

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

Sadly I agree. People are broke and angry. This is going to start spilling over on to the streets in a big way again very soon. And the politicians will say “blah blah far right blah blah” whilst they cash in their expense claims and defend pedos. What a time to be alive!

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@HumansNoContext Yep I can relate to this

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@GBNEWS Let’s be honest, although a great player, we all knew he wasn’t likely going to be a great manager.

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@the_Jimreaper @punt_rd This is an underrated gem of a record!

[The Mick Take @the_mick_take]

@OneWayMusicX Tough to choose. Maiden more consistent over the years but Master of Puppets is a masterpiece and the sound of my youth. Both phenomenal live but Maiden maybe just edge that. Maiden by a whisker?
