Florian and the (Slot) Machine

I must be the only somewhat regular visitor to the city, from my late teens until now, who never went to PopWorld...

I am genuinely unsure if I ended up at Popworld on either of my two pre-marriage visits to Liverpool. I have hazy memories of being there but it could be a deep fake.

Probably for the best. Nobody forgets the sight of a heavily overweight girl who is nine Bacardi Breezers deep and convinced she’s Carmen Electra, pole-dancing to S Club 7 while a poor staff member hands out buttered toast like it’s some kind of nightclub communion.
 
How long ago was it? Reflex was also an option at at time

Oh god, now you're making me feel old. Not because it was a long time ago (it was), but because I actually can't even remember.

In fact, now that I think about it, I've only been to Liverpool once pre-marriage. So that would have been 2009.

ILD and God23 might have better memories of the night than I do. I vaguely recall being turned away from the casino and having to go back and get my passport as valid ID. The rest of proceedings are pretty dim. Which, tbf, is same outcome when I ran into them in Vancouver a couple years later.

I self-inflicted a lot of brain damage in my 20s.

This is what 'Bumper' is for me. I was there at least three times which is proved by photographic evidence. But I can't remember a bloody thing.

The way I used to destroy myself at that time I probably also would've thought she's Carmen Electra.
 
Cream was the super club. 051 seemed to be rammed with locals. Pleasure Rooms was the after club.
Hmm not ringing any bells. Brain has probably expelled any pointless retained knowledge.

Mind you this reminds me of the Anita Ward song and a really hot girlfriend I used to see. I'd drive to see her in Barmouth, in my little MGB GT., and we'd stay in a lovely little hotel with great views.
I'd forgotten all about her so this has been a very useful discussion!
 
Frimpong and Wirtz are close apparently. Frimpong had all the Dutch contingent and will be a big, extroverted personality. I get the vibe Wirtz is more introverted, so it'll be good for him to have a former team mate there to settle in and all that. Not that there's any issue with our squad welcoming people but it all should help giving a record without performing from the get go.
 
Could today be the day? Feels like it.
I dont think he'll be announced until after the nations league now. Doesn't quite have the same media pull doing it in the German national team.

Fee will be agreed, medical complete. Then there will a delay like Frimpong.

Genuinely believe they wanted to do a double reveal, but it never materialised.
 
Same, that second improved bid felt like the serious offer Leverkusen wanted. I'll be surprised if they could get any more or they think we would pay it.
