Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[BornBlue76]

Just off to cook my tea. Having spicy chicken fried rice (again) with an 80s play on my I-player and probably a Spingo Special on the go. Then sit down to watch the second match. Hope it's as good as the first.

Have a good evening everyone.

When did the English start calling supper tea? I mean tea is that stuff in a bag you blend with water and is a nice drink. I mean you wouldn’t say you feel like supper and expect someone to make you a cup of tea!

As @roydo said, as long as I've been alive. 'Ma, what's for tea?' as you walked in through the door.

Playing in the street, "Gerrin, your tea is on the table, getting cold".

Usually followed by "Wait till Dad comes home".

Different days.

I recall a song called Big in Japan. I assume it was that band.

I’ve got the Big in Japan ep by Big in Japan , I’d take ia photo but I’m busy getting drunk in Dublin

Get drunk mate. My advice.

I doubt very much it's the Liverpool version.

Didn't realise they released any songs. Maybe an EP. But that's pretty much the sound I remember. The girl was a real screecher.

That was Jayne Casey, she was also in Pink Military Stand Alone. She was involved with the 2008 City of Culture campaign

Definitely different days. We'd be out each and every evening in Sefton or Princes Park or the streets around the area. Couldn't go further than the Cathedral.

If I wasn't in before it got dark, I'd expect the back of my mother's hand within a minute of getting through the door.

Didn’t know they had done that. Must be a charity thing?

Re Ian Broudie, don’t think he ever gets the respect he deserves for his music.

Totally agree.

Supper is for posh folks. I used to deal with an HR manager who was based inthe Plymouth office. She had a double-barrelled name , was a nice woman but very posh. She was always telling me she was going out for supper. In my house, supper is a couple of crumpets or a piece of toast!

Breakfast, dinner, tea. It’s not hard

Yes on Friday, it was great

I went on the Saturday. It was brilliant, like being 17 again!

Growing up tea was about 4.30, supper around 7.30 was a drink of Ovaltine and a biscuit.
