What's everyone else got planned to take their mind off the Stoke game?

[Berserker]

I was born in Dorset does that make me a knobette?  :021:

[Rhys Lightning 63]

I'm going to the game, no idea what I'll do to take my mind off it.

EDIT - I'll take my scrabble set with me, if we are 3-0 down with 10 minutes to go, I'll pop outside for a game, anyone ones to join me are welcome

[Lighthouse]

Do what I always do


TRY AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD


Or watch Pinky and The Brain, do some digging, look at the time, notice its nearly three and have to run in and listen to the commentary.

Not as upset now, just want to rebuild for next season, whichever league we are in.

Likely taking my mind of the game will be the low quality streams that i get here in Tokyo.  I will be cursing the quality of the stream instead of the quality of the performance of the team.

[terryr]

How can anyone be doing anything except watching a dodgy stream and yelling at the screen???????????

[epsomraver]

have to go to France, to Calvados, might drink some as well!

[ron]

Sorry, there's a what throwing festival?

Knob throwing, haven't a clue, must be a West Country thing. Beats being beaten up by Stoke.

Perhaps it's akin to caber tossing....? :dft001:

Yep, thats just about me summed up also.....

[Holders]

A Dorset Knob is a kind of (rather hard and somewhat tasteless) biscuit, probably best thrown. They're made by Moores in some small village I forget the name of on the A35 not so far from Dorchester as I recall. Moores' other offerings are considerably more palatable.

Sounds very Dorset to me...  Now, here in civilised Devon, we have egg- and bale tossing like normal people.

When in Dorchester why not visit Hardy's houses and Maiden Castle?

Over here, NBC show every premier game so I feel obligated to watch. I will be in front of the telly at 10am tomorrow morning (our time) to watch. I am resigned to the loss so will probably just enjoy my cup of tea and sit quietly.
Having said all that, I had computer problems all day yesterday. Got it fixed by a techy and the same bloody problem has started again.
I wonder if FoF is planting a virus or two!!! Probably Martin Jol trying to get back at me for saying how useless he is, over and over again.
A draw will not be good enough tomorrow, having looked at the other games.

[Forever Fulham]

I just can't watch this one.  So, I'm replacing my two front tires at the Firestone franchise near my home at 7:00 a.m.  Then I take the truck to Garland, Texas to help a friend and his charity org transport shelter dogs and cats to a nearby location for possible adoption.  I don't know what's more painful to watch -- Fulham play a must-win to avoid relegation into invisibility or looking through the cages at helpless former pets bewildered at how it came to this.  Hey, wait a minute...   Then, back home for Honey Do jobs.  By now the game will hopefully be recorded, the TV daring me to turn it on.  But instead I'll spend two hours moving furniture back into recarpeted rooms upstairs.  And then I'll assemble a headboard onto a new bed frame.  With the sense of great accomplishment I'll wander back downstairs and glance over at a still-dark TV.  Maybe grab a beer from the fridge.  And then my wife will likely ask me why I haven't 'turned the game on'.

Going in to battle with Burt Jr who really doesn't give a toss about his pending GCSEs when he needs to give a toss.

One of my favourite drinks. I may well imbibe when our fate is set!

Just like watching us watching Fulham you mean?

[HatterDon]

I'll be watching the match -- live -- but afterwards will travel down to the middle of the Eagle Ford Shale to play a very short, very lucrative gig. That will either cap a lovely Saturday, or will be a nice bit of compensation.

[Fulham Tup North]

16 mile run with a stunning blonde  :yay:

When you say "16 mile run with a stunning blond", I presume you are chasing her!!

[Admin]

I've just been informed that there is a knob and spoon race and knob painting.

I love that expression "Honey Do" jobs. An unfamiliar term to me for a very familiar situation!

Is it in widespread use?

Saracens v Worcester...
This will not help.
