Funny you should say that. Our village FB page has pretty much just lynched a lost delivery driver as a child-snatcher.

Bit ageist. Only young people can can say ‘Wilfy’? Or you saying opposite: only old men can call him ‘Wilfy’?

Think they are showing signs of affection for one of Palace’s greatest players no? And - let’s face it - make more modern or matey a frankly rather old fashioned first name (in Britain, i stress). Do you not agree, MFBiasy?

Yeah you’re right, I have been called cockney a couple of times.

Once by someone who was from Middlesbrough, so I made an effort to call him Geordie for the rest of the night :D

Because it was a characteristic. I would of found it cringey not matter who said it and what age but for different reasons. I’ll investigate why I said it as you asked, I guess it sounded abit odd coming out of a grown man, like a child talking about their pet rabbit.

Im a self aware nob on this matter. I only call players by their surnames so even hearing people call him ‘Wilf’ annoys me, so for me this is next level. Im aware Im very much in the minority and others will take issue.

I like ‘go on Wilfy son’ personally. Adds a bit of personality to it. Rather than calling him Zaha, like opposition fans do.

Not just because of his accent but also because of what he said. Which was: "Yessssssss, get in!".

I told him this morning that I had no wish to prolong my life..unless it's got sugar on it.
It's not so much my diet as it's the smoking that's killing me, apparently.
I'm 55 now which is very young for someone to have a stroke. Apparently.
I've no desire to reach old age, apart from seeing my grandson grow older so it seems like I'm at an impasse somewhere.

So much for this new system, which I have to pay more for. Bloody annoying.

Finally had to courier new photos to Liverpool myself at an extra cost to myself. Passport came back today after 6 weeks.

Crap system and the passport looks crap as well. A kaleidoscope of colour on each page. Immigration will have fun finding spaces to put their stamp.

Well it's taken us six weeks so far to pay our car tax and they've just told us we've to wait another four weeks for a logbook before we can pay it and we can't drive the thing in the meantime. At least at the passport office if you need a faster turnaround you have the option of paying for it. These people are total dinosaurs.

This all started out as a 10 to 12mm hole in the drywall. Took me all day yesterday to get a match with the texture coat I was OK with. Today I started to paint the patch... trouble is the paint is a custom colour and is a new can from the original wall paint. Touched up area just did not look right as was slightly lighter than, so decided to paint the whole frigging wall, so another day shot, than tomorrow if everything looks good, I will have to clean up all the masking and put back pictures and fixtures.

Probably should have just stuck a framed picture over the hole in the wall and moved on!

However, I do think they've lost their way when it comes to politics and they force themselves to present balance

A while back I had someone park so close to mine they couldn't get out the drivers door and had to climb over in to the passenger seat to get out that door. The stupid thing was there was no-one parked on the other side of him and he could have easily reversed out and parked better!

Half the problem is cars are fatter and bigger than the used to be. I saw a HUGE Audi 4x4 using a space that was sticking out half way across the road. Thought it was bad parking but he/she was right to the wall. It was just so ******* big.

I should add that we went to the bar/restaurant that the old moaning Hedgehog moaned about in the past on this thread due to the fact they have bands playing to next to no customers.

Well the new happy Hedgehog really enjoyed the 3 piece band last night, and was very impressed. There was even a larger crowd (albeit a few appeared to be "with the band").

We were happy to hang around after eating until they finished their set, and applauded them appropriately with enthusiasm, not just to be polite.

My Shepard's Pie was also exceptional... Even the A1 source went well with it as a stand in for the empty HP bottle.

Went to see ‘Joker’ last night, which is excellent btw, and was irritated by three things during the pre movie entertainment...

1: The noise! Why so bloody loud!?!
2: Shoot em up/blow em up trailers of films. How feckin pointless! These people that make these films need to grow up
3: The condescending voice before the movie begins that tells you to switch your phone off and not talk to the person next to you...GO F**K YOURSELF! I’ve paid nigh on 50 quid for your premium seats and refreshments ....if I want to glance at my phone and have a little quiet tae ta tae with Mrs Bubbs during the film I bloody will do you fascist bastards.

1. To drown out the inconsiderate arseholes who cant sit and watch a film without discussing it and anything else, with their friends and family.

2. Because theyre good fun and the noise drowns out the inconsiderate arseholes who can't sit and watch a film without having to discuss it, and anything else, with their friends and family.

3. If you can't sit and watch a movie for a couple of hours without looking at faceache or whatsapp and then having a chat about it with your friends and family then I would think eveyone else around you would orefer you did **** off and spend your fifty quid elsewhere. You inconsiderate arse.

Would you be happy to pay 50 sovs to watch a film, only to have it ruined by some inconsiderate arsehole who cant stop looking at their phone and chatting to their friends and family?

I know it’s tongue in cheek (or at least I hope it is) but how is me glancing at my phone and leaning over to mention something about the film to my Mrs really disturbing someone or even noticeable....unless you’re watching me instead of the screen in which case you have very good taste.

To be fair, I don't want distractions, I just want to concentrate on the film for 90-120 minutes.

I truely have no idea what people feel the need to mention during a film. "Please pass me the Popcorn / Fanta" is all I understand a need for. My experience is Mrs Stockport who I can always sense is simply bursting to tell me that the bloke in the leather jacket used to be in Casualty and the girl they've kidnapped is some famous American's daughter who used to date Ronaldo. She knows I'm not interested in the slightest, sometimes she can resist, sometimes not :p
