boohyah Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I agree, fuck these games on prime time. I hope we never play on Monday Night Football again, it's pure horseshit now. The latest start time for me now is 6.30pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best option is to work from home on the day after ( which i can manage since i run my own business ....thankfully i'm not busy on a Mon or Tue usually and can have a few serious power naps) Then i go to bed very early the evening afterwards at about 8pm and sleep like a baby. I've done it maybe 250 times in the last 40 years but it really fucks me up nowadays. regards UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first three months or so it was really hard to bounce back... I'd get to sleep around 130, wake up at 6 AM for work, but be tired all day Friday... then all day Saturday... and finally by mid-day Sunday I'd start feeling better, just in time for work on Monday. I gave up that gig last November and it's really improved my mood and overall health. Couldn't help but feel I was shaving years and quality off my life to make a quick and easy buck.

TrashTalker92 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I don’t know how you guys do it then. Without a good 6-7 hours sleep. I get moody, like a bitch on PMS moody. I was in a low rank dart league for my local pub and the game usually starts at 8:30pm but of course we have people that just sucks and a game would drag for 30 mins and there’s like 15 games or so. Would get home 1-2am on Tuesday mornings. My body would be shot at work and people know not to come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Sunday around 6pm I'd watch the highlight show with the Two Tribes theme going in the background. I left in 87 so I don't know what happened after that but it was a good show.

They also used Big Audio Dynamite's "Bottom Line" as the intro as well as two tribes. The blokes at the local didn't know we got the "Stars and Stripes" newspaper on base and knew the score from the game Channel 4 was showing each week. We used to make a killing in free beer. Those were some of the best years of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxRik Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Funny you say that. Nowadays, yeah, I'd agree with you, with the internet and all. Back then it would have been pretty impossible to find each other. Hell, the Air Force was still pushing pen pals back then. Funny part is, I lived off base amongst the locals almost the entire time. Lived in Brit houses, shopped in Brit markets, hung out with brit neighbo(u)rs. Lost my NY accent pretty quick. Almost every time I was at a pub, some bloke would come up to me and say "oy mate, I've known a lot of you lot come into me pub, and you all leave to go back home. There was this G.I. used to come in 'ere. Name was Joe. Nice bloke. From Texas. You know 'im?". Used to crack me up. (I didn't know anyone from Texas at the time).
