Confessions Corner

1. In common with many it seems, I can't stand parmos. Tried one once 20 years ago and thought I might be sick halfway through.
2. I once had an account on COB under a name I can't even remember now. Did it purely to bait Lenin (a sociopath even they banned eventually) with badly spelled abuse, but I got PMs from Rodders (who professed to despising me on here), telling me how much he loved what I was doing. And yes, I do regret it now.
3. Having gotten old and sentimental, I cry at soppy films these days. Brassed Off, It's A Wonderful Life and even Edward Scissorhands set me off.
 
1. I find Tarantino films unnecessarily long and very self indulgent on his part. I haven’t actually liked any of them particularly.

2. Went for a few quiet drinks in Newcastle one lunchtime and accidentally woke up the next day in another country.

3. I find myself bizarrely quite liking some of the posters on here whose views, both politically and of the world in general, I often completely disagree with.
 
1. I didn't really like Breaking Bad
2. I sometimes wish I was born in a place with a more successful team
3. I really wish I'd played competitive cricket when I was able to, I know I would have been a decent club cricketer medium fast bowler ............... rubbish at batting like

Don't worry, it was a RAF mess room. It was midships, right underneath 4 spot. Cant remember which mess but it it was September 11th 2001. The planes had just hit and we had been out in Valetta Malta and were very very drunk. We had just arrived the previous day and not found our bearings as we literally dumped our bags, got briefed and went into town.

I once went out on a Newcastle Brown only bender, with an old mate. Id never tasted the stuff before. I was 19 and easily persuaded.
I think I had 9 bottles and went to bed "merry".
Woke up late after sleeping through my alarm, went to get out of bed and discovered my bedding completely stuck to me, front, back and very damp. And there was a strong smell of schitt and vomit in the room.
Grand slam!!
It took over an hour in the shower to peel the sheets off me.
 
1. I'm pretty sure I have seen a ghost but I don't talk about it for fear of being mocked.
2. I once spent the night in a 24hr massage parlour having lost the key to the place I was staying
3. I'm happy with the Christmas Covid restrictions as it gets me off going to some tedious family get togethers.
 
1. I had to shower a grown man to get all the sick off him after a particularly wild night for a birthday in London. He was 6'7" and very hairy so it was really difficult to get all the chunks out of his chest and back hair. We'd got back to the hotel and he'd been sick all over himself during the night, several times. We were flying back to Newcastle the next day and there's no way he would have been allowed to fly looking like that. There were 5 of us and we were all worse for wear, but someone had to do it, so I stepped up. It is not something I ever want to repeat and although I don't see him regularly now as he lives in Saudi, it has never been spoken about since between any of us, although there is always a knowing look of regret and shame when we do catch up

2. I cannot remember a single score line from any Boro game, even ones from this season, this information just does not sink in with me and I've had a ST for over 20 years.

3. I once lied about how much toilet paper there was in an airport cubicle after the fella next door said he had run out and wanted me to pass some under. I was having some tummy trouble and feared I would need loads. I could hear him then waddling to another cubicle to seek further necessities. I waited for ages for him to go before I left the cubicle to wash my hands. He was stood waiting for me and looked into the cubicle I had just vacated to see the dispenser pretty much 3/4 full. He was a bit upset with me and call me a few cursory names and as I walked away to return to the terminal I shouted something childish like "balls to you too shi**y ar*e". I spoke nothing of this to my wife so when we boarded the plane (it just had to be the same flight didn't it!) he happened to walk past down the aisle just as we were settling in to our seats he called me "a$$hole". Of course my wife was like "WTF was that all about" so I had to tell her what I had done. She just replied "Jeez, you and your f***ing toilet paper"
 
1. I slept with a famous married lady(when single between marriages) but cannot ever reveal who for legal reasons.
2. I expected to hate the Big Bang Theory when my wife insisted we watched it and just loved it.
3. I don't think the Ramones are as good as the hype that they generate.

What legal reasons ?
 
I watch every Eurovision Song contest (including the semi finals). In the months leading up to it I actively seek out the songs selected and repeatedly listen to them to familiarise myself with them.

My top 3 films list would include 2 starring Julie Andrews.

I once had a bet on a 'virtual' horse race. I had had a drink.
 
When watching the darts, whenever someone scores 2 treble 20s I move my head ever so slightly towards the screen to mimic the camera. I've been doing it for over 30 years and I do it every time.
 
My first is that I was (as well as football and cricket) a massive wrestling fan in the 90s and still occasionally find myself disappearing down youtube wormholes watching old footage.

My second confession is that I don’t understand how anyone could have not liked wrestling in the 90s.

I think any grown up who likes wrestling is weird, just one of those things I don’t get (same as musical theatre)

Must join you in your dislike of musical theatre. I have mates who love it, some who work in that world too but I find it unbearably cheesy.

I think there’s a spread of styles. Some is obviously incredibly cheesy, some is a little bit, and some isn’t so much. But I think some of it is ok.
