Totally agree, I made a similar comment on the match day thread.

Also I saw a small group of 5 or 6 people returning to their seats near the front after half time... I looked at the game clock and it was 58 minutes... FFS!

Certainly not people interested in football, but having a jolly freebee I guess.

This in bucket loads,specially when they are so called "mates".:jerkit::jerkit:

Men who have to spit in the urinal when having a piss, what is that about?

Often wondered the same Blind, makes no sense.

This really pisses me off. There was a T junction lkke that round the couner from our old house and this happened practically every time iI drove into the estate. I used the horn headlights and death stare routine every time and no change. We moved just after I decided to fit a dash cam and send pictures of all these idiots to the police.

We have one just as we come into our neighbourhood, and have the exact same problem except it's all arse about face being as we drive on the other side of the road.

It almost makes you want to get into a minor accident with them by pulling up to the line as they cut across the corner in front of you.

God I ferkin hate that. BA have been jamming extra rows into their smaller airbuses. It's a barsteward when the muppet in front puts seat on recline.

Southern and thameslink too tight to put signage up to discourage people from doing this.

It's because of the smell of the bloke next to you with the urinary infection.

Not sure what to make of this last bit:rolleyes:

Or this peculiar habit where people raise their knees and wedge them onto the back of the seat in front. Gravity dictates that they'll have to re-wedge about every 3 mins. It's really not so cool.

The never ending corruption and lack of any form of morals of Thailand.

Seems this lad has a similar opinion, albeit in Ukraine.

Got to admire his intention, but I wonder if he's a had a few sobering moments looking in the mirror asking himself what he's done.

Andalucia would probably give you a run for your money.

I hate judging other parents, but it annoys me when I see a parent wearing headphones when with their child. Walking to school with their kid, but wearing headphones. In the playground watching the kids playing, but wearing headphones. What are they listening too that's so important?

I'll have to take your word for it. How many Andalucians 'businessmen' are laundering money through English football clubs ?

English no, local yes, but how about laundering money through local businesses, taking bribes to give out contracts etc

I'll have another read of that tomorrow.

Everything is about bribes here.

Something like 99% of the wealth is owned by about less than 0.0001% of the population who have monopolies in their protected by mafia tatics. The only ones that have challenged them in their industry are mafia families.

The local football league is just about who is laundering the most at the time.

Just clicked, the Spanish league is rather larger than the Thai and very big full stop.

Over the ear headphones or Bluetooth ear buds?

I notice a lot of people have the ear buds surgically attached in their ears, and are constantly using them for phone conversations.

Nothing as odd as people walking about to all intensive purposes talking to themselves which makes them appear rather crazy! Then again there are a few homeless people around here that appear to be talking to themselves, and they actually are crazy... it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Indulgent parents- schoolkids with wireless earphones- seriously?!

"To all intensive purposes" ... :)

Cricket coaches cheating when umpiring under 11 matches. What is the world coming to?

It’s an eggcorn....

French school trips, who seem to think that the pavement is for their exclusive use

School trips from any country who use the tube at rush hour.

This. It happened to me over here on the IOW, they took over the narrow pavement and pushed me into the road. I had the satisfaction of knowing there was a big pile of dog shit on the path and one of them was bound to tread in it and hopefully tread it into their coach.

People organising meetings during lunch breaks.

Pubs showing Game of Thrones! Whats that all about??

WTF?

FM Radio signals being made weaker so the program keeps cutting out when driving

Thats what elbows are designed for.

I couldn't possibly comment :angel:

I did see a mum walking their daughter (about 8 years old at a guess) to school other day with great big headphones on and thought it odd.

Also seen people driving with headphones (proper big ones) which doesn’t seem particularly clever to me.

I'd love to see something like that. Instead I have the daily pleasure every morning of witnessing a few parents smoking spliffs whilst strolling along to schools & nurseries in the area with their little no-dad in a pushchair.
It takes all of my power not to go up to them & demand that they tell me what their dealer is like.

Sat outside a cafe watching a mother with her two kids, fussing over their clothes etc, whilst blowing her cigarette smoke in their faces. She wasn't wearing headphones though.

What world do you live in that you do not understand how difficult it is for some parents these days?

Some people are finding it very tough moneywise since the credit crunch and cannot afford to buy their kids their own cigarettes.

Marking them as pubs to go nowhere near, ever?

Cheaper than chips out here, she was just being tight.

Clickbait of all kinds.

As well as the usual transfer silliness my phone alerts me at least once daily to some horrifying evidence of the imminent destruction of the planet. There's usually some majestic exaggeration of a perfectly normal geothermal event at Yellowstone which supposedly heralds a supereruption and today there's one about an asteroid passing "close" to the earth.

Read to the bottom and it turns out that "close" means about 2 million km and what's more the orbit of this thing is as well known as the Streatham High Road and the chances of an impact are zero.

As for today's Yellowstone one, apparently scientists have revealed that "The North American plate is moving slowly south west across Yellowstone volcano by an average of 4.6 centimetres per year".

No shit, Sherlock. And then, as ever:

"There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone is imminent, and such events are unlikely to occur in the next few centuries."

Well STFU then FFS.

Spending 45 minutes waiting for the RAC to answer the breakdown line.Then being told 2 hour wait for a man and his bright orange van to attend :veryangry:veryangry:

"Big wheels keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning"

Feck off:p

"..... I'm sorry, but it was the only time everyone was available." :wallbash:

God I miss work! :rolleyes:

People who daydreamily respond 'mmmmm?' when you ask them a question.

Fvck off and rewind. You heard.

Coffee prices in pounds. 5.6 for a flat white and lemon drizzle loaf.

The terms 'Red Ball Cricket' & 'White Ball Cricket'.

French school trips again...a bunch of them in MnS on Cheapside the other day (at a busy lunchtime) decided not to use the queuing system and go straight to the check outs. They got told where to go but pretended not to understand. Someone then pointed to the back of the queue and they "realised" where they should be.
My guess is they wont learn their lesson and completely "forget" the queuing system when in a shop next time.

Do French children still wear double-denim and backpacks like they used to in the 80's?

Yes. Whilst sporting children's sunglasses and smoking Gauloises. Jabbering away like a pack of monkeys & a strong smell of stale sweat off them.

They also wear Kickers and have a crease down the front of their unfashionable jeans.

Like in the eighties that's back in fashion ? ;)

perfectly describes this bunch in MnS. Only thing you missed off was that the stale sweat was combined with strong garlic.

This was Kabbots group ?

In one direction i have a polling station 100 yards away in the other one 300 yards away.

Which was the one I was told to use?

Neither.

By road mine was 1.2 miles away.

My son's primary school was shut again today for this election, as it always is for others. There's another polling station at the church about 500 yards away. ******* ridiculous

People marking on Facebook they’ve voted at the European elections. Who cares?

Feel my pain. My office is opposite the largest French school in London. Some of their behaviour is so bad that I now have a direct line number to the head of year.

Cromwell Road? Those enfants are utter chattes.

Yep, that's the one.

Boiled eggs you can't get the shell off without destroying said egg.

People spitting in the street.

^^^^^^ 100%

X 2.

Yep, vile and completely unnecessary. I don’t get a) why they’re doing it and b) why they don’t think it makes them look like complete vermin.

I’m surprised it hasn’t been outlawed in football actually in this day and age. It must be habit more than anything else as other sports that include running don’t do it.

Database schemata designed by developers instead of data architects.

No they just shit on the side of the road :supergrin:

Agree by the way no need for spitting disgusting habit.

Started to see girls do it now as well :(

Slightly related; Drinking buckfast in the street.

Buckfast deserves greater respect.

Other sports people do of course, in rugby it's common. I suspect football is just covered more often and with more cameras.

Some sports it's easier to manage - tennis players have a lot of drinks breaks. The mucus is very thick after a lot of activity, which makes it tricky to swallow without water.

I’m just shocked by the amount of people who spit in the street and not only do they spit which is disgusting, they do it on the pavement where people/kids/pets walk.

I was walking along and this little rude boy spat right in front of my on the street because he was smoking a joint, trying to act hard.

I wanted to kill him. Just wrong on all counts.

Come on Stav, you should have juiced the punk right up.

Nothing would have given me greater pleasure.
However I’m a coward and had a yoga class to get to.

:D

Celtic winning the treble treble
Actually Celtic full stop
And Rangers...

Pissed up Scandis coming up to.me mid song demanding we play something they can dance to.

I assume you mean Scandinavians... so nothing has changed in the last 40 years in Spain!

They were always pissed up back then.

Cheap Cerveza init

They were worse than us brits back in the days of our lads holidays

Couldn't dance to Viva Espana?

Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep.

I hope you told them to **** off back to their own country.

Push pineapple, shake the tree........................:supergrin:

Charlton getting promotion

The road surface between about junction 8 and the Thorpe Park turn off on the M25. Horrible.

Yep. Why don't they sort it out. More still, why is it like that anyway. :confused:

I told him to **** off the third time he came up to me mid song.

It was the only section that was made from concrete. At the time there was “lots of questions asked” as it smacked of back handers. The opening was delayed as cracks started to appear even before a car had driven on it. All that said it lasted a darn sight longer than any other part of the motorway network and is still going strong today!!

The government spending yet more money to protect the identity of the child-murdering pervert re-offender Jon Venables. Just take the c**t to the nearest landfill.

These constant "Opt out of our cookies" things everytime I click on a link, news sites etc. Surely if I've already opted out of your ******* ******* wankerchopping shitty cookies I'm not going to change my ******* mind, you rancid bellends.

Same with watching TV online, I don't need the relevent site to confirm I am over 18 every time, especially when they don't ask for verification.

Or the "We notice you have an add blocker ........support local journalism etc etc" Well if you didn't have noisy, intrusive videos and sound eating my bandwidth all the time, I wouldn't need it you "see above ^ "

'What would you like to open Youtube with ?'

What do you ******* think !

Make Bing your homepage - eff off, I'm quite happy with Yahoo, OK?

People waving at you from their cars assuming you can see them. In bright sunlight it's virtually impossible to see through a windscreen inside a car. At least I think they're waving. [emoji848]

Anne Widdicombe - comparing Britain’s membership of the EU with slavery. Classy.

I’m more of an ask jeeves man myself.

The only thing I ask Jeeves is if he knows a decent search engine.

Prick Bradley Wiggins wannabe’s with all the cycling gear, who take their bikes on a train!!!:wallbash: what the **** is that all about?? They get in everyone’s way and block the doors!! If you’re that good and fit cycle all the fooking way!!

Good one, and to build on this we're on holiday down in South Devon at the moment. Yesterday we had two of these lycra clad idiots hauling their bikes onto the little harbour ferry (basically a large rowing boat with an outboard motor) and reducing the trip capacity by a third, much to the disgust of the other waiting tourists.
