The cow?

The vet.

The vet or the cow?

A cow now retired to the kitchen....that's a Steak isn't it?

Yep thanks...

I found that one on Google... looks easy to use.

I guess if you let it delete your photo after a short time (say one hour) it is no longer viewable on the BBS?

Ah... OK looks like I figured it out.

A good back up plan if I get in trouble.

More than one way to kill a cat it would seem! :rolleyes:

Youths walking around with Bluetooth speaker playing music

Now its dark in the evenings, drivers who use full beam in street light areas and those who switch to full beam before they've actually passed you coming in the opposite direction when out of town.

Yep. Though I wouldn't describe it as music.

Reaching the age 65 and having to wait another year before you get a pension

Don't need the money and will carry on working anyway but it's still quite irritating

Maybe Bad Bunny and his ilk haven't reached UK yet?

Footballers who suck their thumbs after they score. wankers.

I hear you there. I am 62 means i have less than 4 years to retirement not less than 3 years. Bastardos.

Lesson learnt. Always. Read your Posts Before. Hitting submit. Reply.

How does that work? I thought you hit your Birthday, packed up your things and the pension arrives the next month! Does that mean I should be working until 68 :confused:

Maybe an over reaction...but why is the BBC Sport website so overrun with news about Australia womens cricket...I mean, is it still part of our empire? ... what is our interest in this ?

In general, having worked overseas the BBC, i understood that the media is so focused on the English speaking world and in particular Music and Film are forgotten if its from eurpe. In Moscow, i was surprised how many people knew about Italian and French cinema and music....and they were shocked i didn't!!

Talking of footballer's thumbs, I don't really like Townsend's big over-the-head thumbs-up to a team-mate, either. It usually means he's just done something appalling with possession of the ball.

Posters that only ever turn up on the BBS to whine and bitch about the Manager and then immediately go onto Twitter and whine and bitch about how s*** the BBS and how stupid everyone on here is in condescending tone. Get a life.

Stay off twitter to get a life.

Hummm Nav?

Twitter seems to be a write-only medium AFAICT.

To be fair, FYP have stopped sneering at us all lately.

I wasn’t referencing FYP just for the record and the person I have in mind has consistently done it for a while now. But the name is irrelevant TBH as it’s the act of doing that which makes them annoying. Wont comment on any other suggestions or it will just become a guessing game. Sure there is more than one anyway :(

That you can’t buy just a couple of nuts or bolts any more. I need one. Smallest pack size in Screwfix ? 100 !!!!

You can, go to a proper shop.

Did they? We let them promote their monetised service for free on here, and they sneer at the BBS. Interesting.

I suppose that’s not as bad as that user who had dreadful neighbours, was causing his family all sorts of problems and he couldn’t afford to move and we all chipped in to get him they money to move house, and apparently he was slating the BBS on another palace site.

People are weird

Yeah, a bit sad really.

Isn’t it more that individuals on the fyp pod get a bit of gyp on here, and answer back on there?

That guy was a real git. On the other hand it made me feel very good about the BBS. How much did we raise for him?

think even before that there was a certain amount of sneering towards the bbs, it increased a bit when JD came in for a bit of criticism on the fyp thread and had a bijou flouncette.

Someone still scans the thread and then runs to tell tales to members of the podcast as I found out the other week when I made a comment 're Adam Sells, which I had already made.on twatter.

Is this true? what did he say?

You can’t they’ve all closed down

Wilcos and B&Q sell standard metric nuts and bolts in pick'n'mix bags.

I find that if you're faster than the security guards, stuff like that is free.

W Hurst & son.

Ahhh you are right I should have though Hurst First ! Thx

EFA, surely?

Or alternatively buy a multi box of nuts and bolts from Halfords and save coming back in 6 months with the same issue.

I learned in my teenage years when I was messing around with scooters to never throw any nut,bolt or washers away.Comes in handy having a selection in the garage:p

It's what the old Quality Street tins were for.

Yep.

Better to be looking at it then looking for it.

And who was he? I don’t remember this at all.

My newly, acquired more practical self..has thousands of screws, nails, nuts and bolts. Thinking of building a second shed.

Coffee jars, lids screwed to a shelf, filled with nuts, bolts etc.

Learnt from my dad.

You run?

It was a giant week ; I think we raised thousands for him, but I can’t recall any details.

Neither do I.

Name and shame please.

Had a couple of runners in Greggs this morning, within about two minutes. Daily occurrence, but no sign of them doing anything about it. Free lunch.

It wasn't that long ago. Came on with a convincing story, and the BBS responded. Wasn't it deposit /rent?

Ha! Same here! :p

The kids are trained to stand their ground.
I've got to flee crime scenes these days due to social responsibilities.

Since retiring from the GAA it's the only exercise I get.

I remember who it was. I even met the bloke - he was with a group of us having an early morning pre FA Cup Final breakfast & beer.
Seemed a nice enough bloke.
I only heard rumours of the snake in the grass commentary post the noisy neighbours charitable fund incident, so cant comment on that.

Anyway, back on topic. (and topical).

The Mrs (again). Deciding to take it upon herself to tidy up my tools, tool box and general DIY stuff.
"What are all these old screws, nails, nuts/bolts etc of all sizes? You don't need all these surely"

Lord forbid.

Same here!

Although as part of my retirement projects I have organized into tote boxes and wall storage draws.

Lost track of the times I needed a nut, bolt and washer and found what I was looking for easy peasy.

Also never buy 3 screws (or the like). Always buy 25+ even if I only need one or two. Never fails if you buy 3, you will f~ck them up leading to a return trip to the hardware store!

My wife again... She made a contribution to a candidate in the Georgia Senate Election race.

WTF!

Her comeback... "We can afford it"!

Trying not to sound like CJ from The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin... "We didn't get to be able to afford it by giving money to a bloody senator in Georgia!"

To compound the issue, she did something, God knows what and also unintentionally donated to the Georgia Senate PAC... guess who had to figure out who to reverse the second donation?

:D:D

Jones the bootmakers website...an utter car crash

Could the Senator pardon you if needed sometime in the future? Might be cash well spent .. ;)

Pedants. People with an inability to differentiate between when someone is joking or being serious. People who have to be right, every time, no matter what the subject matter or if others prove them wrong. People who have to have the last word, disparaging, demeaning or otherwise. OK, yes, I'm talking about Maz. He's not changed one bit on here. quite remarkable really. He must have been a leopard in a previous life.

Is your post an excellent example of what your signature is talking about?

Look out he's about..

No it's a scholarly piece. A study about you. I would wager that the majority of folk on here would agree with my assessment. You really haven't changed in what,17 years? It's like groundhog day. A trip back in time. Unbelievable really. i didn't imagine for one minute that you'd still be stalking these forums picking up others on everything from grammatical errors to facts about whatever the subject of the day happens to be. I'm literally shaking my head in disbelief!

So, you're having an argument on one thread, and now you're spreading it across the BBS on multiple threads.


Is this an example of the good old days that you are so wistfully reminiscing about?

Maybe my wife, she has her name on the donation... I'm afraid I on the other hand will rot in my cell.

I don't think that calling a slagging off of another BBSer a "scholarly piece" makes it any less of a slagging off.

I’ve missed AfB

My missus used to give me all that, until I spent every small job I was asked to do, or something to fix that she'd broken saying "isn't it a good job I keep all these old screws and nuts and bolts?"

Maybe, but he was on my case 17 years ago and nothing's changed. I merely described his BBS modus operandi.

From the thread I have just read you're as much on his case as he is and you are displaying all the same traits you have just accused Maz of. ;)

i have seen this in Croydon one, they walk in pick from fridge and just walk out. So wrong

The difference being is that when Al returned (ah, how future generations of BBSrs will sing songs about "The Return of Al") I was nothing but empathetic.


Doesn't seem to have changed him though; I should have joined the others in slagging him off.

Don't be ridiculous. Alf is 100% sinned against and 100% innocent. He is also the most self-aware man ever to walk God's earth.

Waking up the morning after a Palace defeat to an email from Palace giving me a link to the highlights of the game... you know where you can stick those highlights!

I felt exactly the same.

How about the Benteke chest down and volley days after the Burnley game, I honestly think they are oblivious to their fans opinions and moods

Some bloke in a que today asking me to move back, we were outside and him and his wife had thier backs to me, I was not that close. Paranoid muppets.

How close is "that" close? If it's less than 6 feet maybe it's too close.

I'm getting fed up having to inform people that 2m isn't 6 feet.

To many of us it is :p

That's exactly what I said to the wife.

"Que" being used instead of "queue" (sorry pallet!).

Its ok your right:D

Having had the painters in...my missus is well aware of the value of a good screw.

"Right" being used instead of "Correct" (sorry pallet)

"Ok" being used instead of "okay" (sorry Pallet)

pallet (sorry pallet)

Oh yes!

*cough* You're right.... ;) (Sorry pallet)

He’s actually saying that it’s WCB’s right to correct him (‘your right’) so Pallet is correct (well done Pallet)

But there is a missing comma (‘it’s ok, your right’). Sorry Pallet

There was also a missing apostrophe "Its" (sorry pallet)

Blimey... amazing that four words could be interpreted so many different ways due to punctuation marks (or the lack of).

Or am I/we being whooshed?

Spot on. Now we are talking about a lack of self awareness..lol

I never knew you were a sugar daddy.

Impressed. :p

Jurgen Klopp. Moaning ****.

Que?

Pies full of Mushrooms and less beef .... but they don't tell you..
If I wanted a Mushrooms pie I would have asked!
