We try and catch up at The Weld Club whenever we are both in town
Was taken there for lunch one day not long ago. Food was good - the place is a wee bit stuffy though.

That's like saying Priddis is a wee bit polarising...

"A wee bit"?

Understatement of the week.

I quite like the place for once a quarter pissy Friday lunches but yes the white gloves on various of the "help" together with the high back leather chairs give it a hint of stuffy ...

Might be the odd secret handshake around the place too :)
 
Personally, I think it's the most succinct way of commenting on ones attributes without commenting or being misconstrued as commenting on their performance.
More succinct than just saying what those attributes are?

Why not just say a player is one-paced or has average disposal?

If I was to rattle off all of the attributes that Carter is unremarkable at, it wouldn't be succinct at all!

Yes, I do realise "unremarkable" is another term that could be used. I still don't think it's as clear as "vanilla" since it could still be construed as a reflection on performance.

It would mean more than than saying 'he's vanilla'.

To be succinct is also to be clear, not just brief.
 
Todays game definately saw a shift from the Midfield from nasty imitation vanilla essence to that delicious vanilla bean paste in the expensive little jar.
