Mike7077 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 People who are self-righteous about smoking are idiots. And this is coming from someone who have never smoked. Surely it's possible to dislike it, to dislike being around it and to approve of things such as the ban in public places and not be self-righteous? To be fair, there was a self-righteousness to the post you responded to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkermush Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Something on the TV, film/dvd/documentaries/music ... etc. Doesn't matter what it is, as I only look up now and again, and I'm not really listening unless the game is processing. At this exact moment in time, I have 'Ghost Hunters' on in the background, but I've no idea what's going on. I find it's good to have the radio channel on (talksport normally) then I don't need to keep looking at the screen, and I get regular updates on what is going on in the real world of football. Plus regular arguments/banter on the phone ins etc Erm and the internet, I browse the web (these forums/football forums etc) during the first half of some games, or after I have made all 3 subs in the 2nd half. But I find that when I turn the internet off, I get into my save game much more & I seem to enjoy it more.. probably because I'm not constanly clicking away from FM and doing other things on the web. Oh and a glass of water or cola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaplex Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Music no doubt. Open browser on 2nd monitor to browse internet while game is processing. Coffee or tea, a must.

Everton Ninjas Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 20 Marlboro is a must. If there's music it's usually atmospheric and/or moody. Repetitive. Industrial techno turned down low. Sometimes floaty acoustic stuff. Telly could only be Sopranos box set. I know the series inside outside so doesn't require much concentration. Brews and bourbons usually feature. Most importantly, girlfriend out the flat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
