I like baked pineapple covered in cinnamon with vanilla ice cream. I am a wrong ‘un.
Wouldn't it be easier just to eat the pineapple without covering yourself in all that other stuff?

We could have made a serious profit on Origi.
We could have sold Ox, instead we extend his contract. Sold Moreno the summer before he left for free (there were offers ).
Also, you should be bothered by Gini and Can that's at least 50 mill gone.
So what you’re saying is there is a good chance Trent’s career goes down the toilet?I don't know shit about accounting but how is this comparable to the Trent situation? Are we talking about "protecting the asset value" with him now? And isn't extending the contract (Ox case) ... good for the point you're trying ro make?
Anyway I was talking from a football perspective and Can is the only one of those whose career didn't go straight down the toilet after being moved on
You sound like one of those raw diet vegan types.Wouldn't it be easier just to eat the pineapple without covering yourself in all that other stuff?
That sounds divine.Anything but, mate. Beef shin (admittedly with carrots) in onion gravy last night. Can still smell the cooking aroma this morning. Lovely.
Vanilla is fucking amazing. Good vanilla ice cream is a perfect accompaniment to a hot dessert. Don’t be wasting the other flavours on the plate serving pistachio chai shit.
Absolutely. Simple food made great is a delight.Is that the thing with simple food - there’s nowhere to have de - “good” vanilla has to be close to perfect.
It’s like a good Pilsner or lager - there very little you can do to hide faults.
That saying… I’m more of a chocolate ice cream sort of guy.
This is the thing Modo - I don’t think we could have sold Ox - I’m pretty sure that he was never fit for an entire transfer window for us to actually get him sold.
The thing with Origi was - he was worth keeping - selling him would have meant we would have missed out on a load of vital last minute goals.
Gini - selling him would have meant selling directly after winning the league - which at the time didn’t make sense.
Can has been well documented (by Beamrider) that we tried to extend but couldn’t accommodate his desire for a release clause.
Moreno… meh… hadn’t Klopp just taken over?
Also - a lot of the players you mention there / their prime selling period would have been during the COVID period when many clubs halted buying.
Also… as has been proven time and time again, getting money and spending it on bringing in a new player isn’t necessarily better than getting another good season out of a well integrated player - but also neither does it make sense to extending that players contract to seemingly just “protect value”.
I’ve got no problem with letting players leave on a free if we think their form is about to drop off significantly Vs selling them too early Vs potentially not being able to sell them after extending their contract too long.
If receiving transfer money was the primary aim - we should have sold Virgil, Trent & Mo last season. Of course, I doubt we’d have CL football this season or even a League Cup to celebrate last season… and Klopp would not have enjoyed trying to integrate new players into the defence and forward line as well as last season’s new midfield.
Yes I'm mainly talking about asset value because so we have something to reinvest in new transfers.I don't know shit about accounting but how is this comparable to the Trent situation? Are we talking about "protecting the asset value" with him now? And isn't extending the contract (Ox case) ... good for the point you're trying ro make?

Just as an aside, this airing of grievances about all manner of completely delicious food is angering me disproportionately, and I've realized it's because I'm a dad that likes to cook, a lot.
You know those cunty fucking people whose response to some obligatory invitation to a dinner is to list their various issues with eating, like now you're some chef that's down on their luck who has to make do with whatever custom you can get. Yeah, I live with two of them. Is there anything less fulfilling on earth than cooking for your own children?
The worst is that I remember my mum articulating, more or less, exactly that. It took me till like 14 or 15 or so to realize, hey wait a second, my mum is actually a good cook, and a fantastic baker, and that in this world, this isn't normal, I'm actually really lucky. Assuming these two even get there, I'm looking at years more of this shit. I swear they are actually trying to break me. I make things to pander to them, and they are indignant to even look at them. Instead of enjoying my meal, I'm persuading them to eat something that is great.
I'm left in this position where at times I'm just thinking, "you are objectively wrong, this is fucking delicious" while they ruin my meal and their own.

Shin beef is the absolute thing for any slow cook beef dishes.Anything but, mate. Beef shin (admittedly with carrots) in onion gravy last night. Can still smell the cooking aroma this morning. Lovely.
Scallops should have the texture of firm fat but sweetness too.... After speaking to @StevieM , you realise not all tastebuds are the same.Had my first one last night. Was shite. Had Tuna for the first time too. Tasted like chicken.
The asparagus was yummy though.

Which is why a lot of the food that was considered "peasants'" food is great.Absolutely. Simple food made great is a delight.
If I was to eat ice cream on its own I wouldn’t have vanilla. As a side to something else I love it.
Pizza is my favourite food. I’ve got my own pizza oven and it’s out most weekends in the spring and summer. Simple and delicious.Which is why a lot of the food that was considered "peasants'" food is great.
I would like to try some top end restaurant but I don't think I would make a habit from it, even if I was loaded.
If you're ever in Belfast, there's a pizza place in town called Little Italy. All their pizzas are pretty simple, no fancy bollocks, and it's the best pizza place for fucking miles around.Pizza is my favourite food.

I’ve also eaten in some of the best restaurants in the UK and go for the tasting menus. No idea what I’ll be served but give it all a try. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten and would never be able to recreate at home. I’d recommend giving it a go to anyone who loves food.
If you are ever in London I strongly recommend Fallow in Mayfair. Amazing food. Never ever been disappointed. You MUST prebook.Which is why a lot of the food that was considered "peasants'" food is great.

42 quid is nearly standard for a lot of places outside of London these days.If you are ever in London I strongly recommend Fallow. Amazing food. Never ever been disappointed. You MUST prebook.
The Corn Ribs are to die for (order two so you won't have to wait again) and the Beef Ribs superb. The set lunch is great value £42. Budget on $60-£80 pp and you won't be far off (bloody good for a top restaurant in London).

Mate it's one of my very favourite restaurants there, very modern British.42 quid is nearly standard for a lot of places outside of London these days.
Didn't know they had one. Must check it out. Please try the restaurant. Superb.I watch some of their (Fallow's) stuff on YouTube... they do a lot of cooking content. Never been to the restaurant though.
I’d be too full from eating proper Taytos to eat pizza.If you're ever in Belfast, there's a pizza place in town called Little Italy. All their pizzas are pretty simple, no fancy bollocks, and it's the best pizza place for fucking miles around.
Greek places will often have a special, which seems to just have everything on top and they're usually shite. A good pizza will have three toppings at the most.
sadly the little italy owner died about a year ago, he lived down the road from me. his kids are running the place though i think, never go into belfast anymore to confirm that.If you're ever in Belfast, there's a pizza place in town called Little Italy.
