Topic: Ask the next person a question

[liverbloke]

1970s, followed by the 90s (best music decade IMO) and 40s.

How do you think the world would be different right now if social media hadn't gone beyond MySpace?

firstly, you gave 3 answers not one so go and stand in the corner until lunchtime

regarding your question - it would be the same as the world turns regardless of social media so wars, disasters, poor governments, people driving too fast in cars etc etc

now social media itself, well that would have faded away as it too needs to evolve so for it to stand still and not progress then that would have meant the end of it - people would have become bored

we haven't had the old classic for a while - so here's a take on it

you're having a dinner party and you can only invite 3 men and 3 women from the last decade (all still living) - who would they be?

What's the worst pain you've had and how did it feel?

Cats, including the big ones

What's the worst pain you've had and how did it feel?

When my mum died I punched a bus stop so hard I broke my pinkie and my ring finger. But the pain in my heart was still there. The sun went out. I actually didn't bother with hospital, taped my fingers up. A few days later I felt dizzy and sick and fingers swelling so I did get them checked out (was told "they will heal just keep them together..." thanks doc)

Losing my mother. Nothing can ever rival that. I could shrug off fractured cause the heart just stopped my soul injured. The sun went out that day and there's a fallacy in life. A hole that will never ever heal, and the torment was white and shocking and awful in its senseless loss.

Best crisps?

[Sheer Magnetism]

Best crisps?

Salt and vinegar McCoys - lovely tart taste combined with the thickness of a ridged crisp, perfect accompaniment for chicken, a fish sandwich or a salad with lemon-heavy dressing. Incidentally, one answer for these with second and third choices included is still one answer.

If you could play any musical instrument to a world class degree, which would it be? Piano and guitar excluded.

No. 'God' is mythical, Santa is real.

What time is an acceptable time to begin drinking for the game tomorrow?

I'm on a train to Liverpool at 13:35

I'm on a train to Liverpool at 13:35

Don't see a problem with that time although no falling asleep at 8.

Midweek game we start at 4 with food in the Cabbage Hall. Weekend games about 2-3 hours before depending on the KO time.

Do you have a bucket list?

Whoops, mistakenly fell into the pub waiting for my train... I'll be sound at 8.

No, thinking about "things to do before..." Puts me in a dark place. Obviously I know it comes but I have quite an unhealthy relationship with death. So thanks for that 

Depending on your age, are you finding pleasure in simple things as you get older?

For instance the idea of a pizza with 45 toppings or a cocktail made up of 67 different ingredients while "fun" at 18, now I'm 43 I long for a Margherita or an old fashioned.

If you're not an old biddy like me, do you think your palate will change as you mature?

[Jookie]

If you're not an old biddy like me, do you think your palate will change as you mature?

Definitely. Scientifically there's evidence your taste buds become less sensitive as you get older. Therefore I'd expect perception of stronger flavours to change with age.

What constitutes your dream (but semi-realistic) job? (role, location, working hours, compensation package etc..)?

What constitutes your dream (but semi-realistic) job? (role, location, working hours, compensation package etc..)?

Hollywood script doctor: high salary that's paid per job, the chance to meet with famous people and live a top-notch lifestyle while being able to be creative and not have to carry the can for a movie's failure. Perfect.

If you could do any full-time job in the world but you'd be paid the same salary as now, what would you do?

[Jookie]

If you could do any full-time job in the world but you'd be paid the same salary as now, what would you do?

Ideally I'd do a job where I was good enough not to get sacked or asked to leave after a short period. That rules out a number of jobs.

I'm nearly 25 years into my current career and have probably reached the pinnacle in terms of grade of what I can achieve. I work for big FTSE100 company where I'm the highest graded person in my expertise so not like I can move elsewhere for a bigger job.

The issue with my job is long hours and it's pretty intense. I still enjoy it to a degree but as I get more and more into my 40's it's more about the money and providing a nest egg for retirement (which I hope comes in my early to mid 50's). Therefore my dream job would be something where I could get the same money and the hours were shorter and/or it was less stressful. Interior designer would be my ideal job but not sure I'd be great at it! Quite like the idea of working outdoors but expect the novelty would wear off very quickly. Maybe on the tills at Waitrose wouldn't be bad. In some sleepy town where nothing happens.

What's your morning egg game like? Poached? Scrambled? Fried?Boiled? With toast on the side or on toast?

[bradders1011]

Only tend to have them on a weekend, but most commonly it'll probably be nice creamy scramblers with chives on toast.

If we're feeling fruity we'll do eggs benedict/royale with hollandaise.

If you had to swap the careers of a Man United legend and a Liverpool legend so that they happened at the opposite club, who would you swap?

I'd actually say 9 out of 11. 2 points dropped for being Manc c*nts but it does things better than this city and seems to be better ran.

Why did so many people oppose the 4 day working week?

Because in the good old British way, change is bad. We should work 9-5, five days a week, missus at home with dinner on the table when we get home from work. If other countries are doing it....we should be different. Because reasons.

I know he technically wasn't alive, but is there a chance Joe Gomez was the man behind the grass knoll?

He would have turned his back when JFK was in his vision so I doubt it.

When will people realise Brexit was one big massive fuck up?

[bradders1011]

No chance. Gomez would hesitate, let the car get away from him and then take a hopeful pot shot and probably hit a bystander.

You're forced to give up one of Liverpool's European Cups - which one do you give up?

The first. Before my time and frankly that train to Rome sounded fucking terrible for all involved.

Do you know the reason why we are kicking off at almost 8pm in London on a Saturday?

They're basically political appointees with backgrounds in sports consultancy who know barely anything about the nuts and bolts of football and who look down on fans as cattle who are there to be milked for cash.

If you could have picked any non-Liverpool manager to take over at the club at a certain point in time, who would it have been and when? Someone who would have been theoretically possible at that point.

[Crosby Nick]

We’ve got most managerial appointments right in modern times really. The obvious exceptions are Souness and Hodgson (and some would question Evans and Rodgers but for where we were at the time they were appointed they both did decent jobs to help turn things around.

In 1991 who could we have realistically got that would have avoided such a dramatic fall. Hard to say for certain but possibly John Toshack? He’d had some success managing abroad around that time.

In 2010 the club was obviously in a mess but still, Hodgson was such an obviously shit appointment that was doomed to fail. Have a feeling Pellegrini was the highest profile possible option around that time. He surely would have done slightly better.

Ultimately all roads from 2010 onwards lead to Klopp and I wouldn’t change having him in charge for anything and in these sliding doors scenarios, others being slightly more successful may have meant no Jurgen.

If for some reason Liverpool FC ceased to exist, could you see yourself ever supporting another team or would you be done with football?

John Toshack has more or less been ignored when great managers are talked about. What he did with Swansea was incredible.

I'm basically done with football already. Stopped watching and am gradually weaning myself off following it.

If you stopped following football what would you do with your spare time?

I think its pretty fucked isn't it? This pending United takeover just says everything that needs to be said. The media is full of shills, the media has too much power so here we are. There's so little opposition to one of the biggest clubs in the world becoming another sports washing vehicle and anyone who could put a stop to it have already said 'Nah its cool we're fine with it'. We're in an absolutely baffling position with that of 'Well if Gary Nevilles ok with it, it must be sound'. Fucking grim.

What sport would you 'handpick' to take over as the national sport, to become as big as football is now?

My anger missions do not compare to your ones but maybe I'm the better villain out of the two of us if I get underneath your skin too? 

The Villain would be a good nickname actually.

Should the forum bring Claus/Something Else/Something Worse back?

Fucking hell I forgot about him Yeah absolutely, although he's probably already re-registered anyway

Do you think the forum should have a one day amnesty where any previously banned poster who has successfully re-registered can go 'Yep its me, I am MacRed' with no fear of repurcussions?

Yes. Having been banned (many times ) correctly in the past, I'm trying to not be such a bellend nowdays.

Possibly failing sometimes.

We have had some great posters that have gone through bad times, lost people and been really down that have gone off on one and maybe deserve another chance.



What do you think mankinds biggest achievement has been so far?

[sattapaartridge]

Got to be medicine/vaccines eh. Imagine if they didnt exist, we'd have much less population, and high death rates, more depression. Whilst people can get addicted to many drugs/medicine they have also saved many lives.

I was going to say "the silicon chip" because they have completely revolutionized everything. Again addiction can come in here too. If you weigh up what is more important, you'd have to say medicine. Even though chip technology can also help create medicine too.
