    [Misc] Fly tipping - it's rubbish

    When I take Mrs ETM out on a drive into the lovely English countryside, I expect to see things like trees, lambs, fields, hedges, rivers etc. What I don't expect or want to see, is a pile of rubbish dumped by some **** because he wants to make a few more quid on a job by not paying the fee for...

    [Albion] ~The best Potter fight thread on the forum

    [Football] Composure - in front of goal. What is it? Can it be learned?

    I see Maupay has just missed a good chance for Everton against Liverpool. I heard the pundit say 'he lacked composure'. We hear this term all the time. 'He lacked composure' when a player misses, and 'He showed great composure' when he scores. We never hear 'he showed great composure and put...
