BBC back and f*cking forth between 1 and 2 with the Olympics.

Those who say they are comfortably off when they are obviously stinking rich.

Rich feckers like lord Chelsea who most likely won't pay a penny in inheritance tax due to a family trust .

Those on over 50k a year who moan about Brexit even though it won't hardly effect them other than they will have to pay more for builders and domestic's and spout on about how poor little Tristram and Annabel won't be able live and work in Tuscany etc .

Whilst it galls that Lord Chelsea gets all that cash for doing nothing, I do have a real problem with inheritance tax.
"Your old man died leaving you a pile of cash and we the government want to profit from that death. Pay up!"
That's just not right assuming income tax/corporate tax has already been paid on the pile.

When one co-worker whispers in your ear, "Don't tell anyone but I have just handed in my notice". I give them the OK and thumbs up sign and go about my business.

30 minutes later another co-worker comes up and whispers in your ear, "I hear ****** has handed in his notice".

Within 4 hours you proceed to get told 20 times that they had just heard that ***** has handed in his notice!

Basically the guy asking me to keep a secret can't keep a secret, and I come out of it looking like a gossip!

:p

I do my best.

Except for Saturday morning... :p

you have a point there H.
It'll be good to get back to the normal weekend routine tomorrow morning :p

Screws up my bike riding though... it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. :supergrin:

The 10pm Eastern BBS freeze.

Sounds like it screws your whole day up.

I don't why but I always seem to be posting at around 10pm...
It freezes up for only about 4mins (server updates?), but it does annoy me.

I just posted this on the Olympics thread but... the 2 numpties doing NBC's online commentary for the cycling.

Always happens at 7:00pm PST for me.

I believe it is the system back-up time.

Used to be 6:00pm, but now changed.

It's ok if Dave is sleeping I suppose :frown:

Airport departure passengers.

As the Ryanair plane came into land must have been a hundred jumped up like it was relief aid.
You are going nowhere faster than me.
You have allocated seating.
You realise passengers and luggage have to disembark before you board ?

I love the people who pay extra for speedy boarding on EasyJet, all it usually means is they are about half a dozen places ahead in a long queue to get on, and have people barging past them when they frantically rush to get their bag in the overhead locker

Feckers who can't get excited about the first game of the season

This.

I fecking hate the close season.

I agree.

Change to BBC2 whilst the news is on, then back to BBC1 for a while, then back to BBC2 whilst Eastenders occupies BBC1.

For goodness sake, either put Olympics permanently on BBC2 for the evening, or have it on BBC1 and only switch for the News.

Being on holiday, start chatting to a nice couple, find out they're from Chessington in Surrey, he tells me he's a MASSIVE Man United fan, he's wife says she's gonna be a football widow for the next 10 months. The conversation rolls on, he goes to the bar... She then tells me in a hushed voice, that she has brought him tickets to a Man U home game, as it's always been a dream of his to go.

Narrow-living Brexiters who can't see beyond their own shores and assume that those that can must be rich and privileged through their pathetic lack of imagination and adventure.

Weren't there any balconies or cliffs they could've accidentally fallen off of?

:)

Sign on a poxy new building on the 'Greenwich Peninsula' saying 'Traditions are important so let's invent some'

Fecking West Brom

Dear Samsung,
As a result of you sponsoring NBC's online coverage of the Olympics I have seen your ******* advert over and over and over again. This incessant repetitive exposure, unavoidable if I want to watch the Olympics online, has resulted in me taking the following decision:
I will never EVER buy a ******* Galaxy ******* Note ******* 7.

The rubbish spelling and grammar on here since our defeat to West Brom. I don't expect perfection, but it's really getting out of hand now.

Have you seen the official Palace Instagram page? They labelled the defeat 'dossapoinring'.

Yeah, thickos. Should have been 'drossapointing'

Surely it should be "dossapinting"

The absolute inevitability of yesterday's result.

Teams walking out to cinematic trailer music.

How shit. What happened to everyone walking out to their club song?

Yeah those ******* Tarquin train drivers really wind me up to.

The great Lasse Viren. The great Kenenisa Bekele. The great Haile Gebresalassi. The shit commentator Brendan Foster.

Sounds like his south African raised brother is doing the golf. 'Bubba Watson is making a real charge through the field now'. Bog off.

People who say it's an easy game that we will win

My wife who is trying to take most of our house on holiday with us. 10 pairs of shies FFS.:wallbash:

You must be posh pallet. We call 'em shoes up here.

Nobody has claimed the varnish by the way.

All the sport that is going on atm and the bbc aren't currently showing any of it on either channel. Cavendish is . riding in the scratch race but Clare Balding is conducting interviews!

Just as well their online/red button service is excellent

You want to try watching the Olympics on Channel 7 down here. Or should I say the Australian Olympics. If there isn't an Aussie in it, they generally don't seem to bother showing it unless they've got nothing else to show. And when there is an Aussie in it, they spend the next half hour debating what the Aussie has just done, regardless of whether there may be another heat of the same thing on.

As long as at least 3 pairs are 'bedroom shoes' it's ok

substitute American for Aussie and you have NBC

Thankfully they show the non-Americans online but that is not total coverage and I have to put up with that fecking Samsung ad over and over.

Yes they have now managed to convince everyone that the real aim is not gold but bronze or having a great time. Oddly enough in the post event interviews I have seen most competitors have been humble in victory or gracious in defeat. Media ****s everytjing up.

I feel your pain. I had to pay for additional luggage on our last flight.
3 tons of clothes, despite the apartment having a washing machine.

Yes. I'll tell you what I've also noticed this time (or rather not noticed) is that after all the "we must beat Britain" crap in the last two Olympics - especially in Beijing - that line of reporting seems to have abated thankfully. It was pathetic!

Bit like Brighton . Teachers and pupils:supergrin:

Stepping in someones discarded chewing gum at a petrol station, getting on your vehicle's floor mats, and the accelerator.

Then despite best efforts you really cannot get it all out of the tread in your trainers.

I guess it is marginally better than dog poop.

dead raccoons in my wheelie bin

Live raccoons in my wheelie bin

I feel you're pain, I'm getting an ear bashing fromantic wife and daughter for paying for 2 hold bags so they can't take their entire wardrobe. Suggested they pay the extra £52 for another bag but they don't want to

Trying to find Gideons bible,

I see what you did there Rocky.

I couldn't carry my wifes suitcase down the stairs - I stuck it on our scales and it came in at 42kg.

That's all white . White.

Perhaps trainers should be left to the young to wear, like low-slung jeans.
Just saying.

People saying
'I see what you did there'

Was that a line from that Alanis Morrisette song?

I see what you did there! ;)

Alan pardew's face....and his lack of team Tactics and shape....

“Drop for drop Fairy Liquid last 50% longer than other washing up liquids”

Rubbish, if you take equal size drops from equal size bottles than you will have exactly the same number of drops

Sainsburys trying to be smart by switching where items are so that you spot things you wouldn’t normally buy and end up purchasing more. Absolute rubbish, all that happens is the shop takes longer whilst you try and work out where things are

I'm so lucky. Right now on Channel 7 I can watch highlights of the Australia vs Venezuela basketball. Whereas on 7 Mate, I can watch... oh, the Australia vs Venezuela basketball. Their Olympics coverage has been nothing short of a disgrace.

But but but!....if you watch the mum doing dishes in the old TV adds the bubbles keep as bubbles for many more dishes washed....

100% correct claim!

******* Daily Mail

'Injury prone'. Is there a single page on the BBS without these words anymore?

Well not now, obviously

Taking someone to Palace and watching them not score and lose. Even worse when you promise them 'it will be different this time'.

I went back to selhurst for the first time in years from Australia and took the mrs only for us to have seats in the main stand against Southampton when Colin got the boot and we lost 3-1. Seats were also not under cover and got soaked.

At least you saw rain.

All I got was 'its sooo boooring'

I didn't have much of a comeback to that :)

Alan Pardew's "Leisure Wear" on Saturday.

There are only 2 options for managers as to what they wear on the touchline - 1) Wear a suit or 2) wear tracksuit/shorts.

On Saturday, he looked like he had just got back from a round of golf with his old muckers, Wright, Brighty and Woody.......

Andy Woodman's car, with its personalised number plate, sitting in the car park next to Pardew's.

I know that goalkeeping coach is an important position within a club, but is it so important that he has reserved a reserved parking space next to the manager?

In the scheme of things, not something I should get annoyed about but, to be honest, everything about "Woody" winds me up.

I flew back from Malaga last week and plane was delayed for an hour. We were out at the arse end of the airport and even though their wasn't a plane on the tarmac idiots still queuing!!

Dont had to up our hold luggage limit at the ladt minute. Only to get to gatwick to find they have replaced the people on the checking in desks with machines so it wouldnt have mattered anyway as you can fiddle them( alledgely)

Weasels in my pants

In the words of Derek and Clive, "best place to 'ave 'em".

Germans calling Team GB "England". One commentator managed even to call Murray English!! No mention ever of of N.I. :-/

I wonder what the heck they will call us at the next Olympics...

What are you complaining about?
That's the authentic Selhurst experience.

"Undisclosed fee."

I want to know the numbers!

I think you will find that according to Candace you have squirrels in your pantshttp://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/S.I.M.P._(Squirrels_In_My_Pants)

"So-called Islamic State" used continuously on the BBC.

It's either "Islamic State" or it's not. Call it ISIS, Daesh, ISIL or even Islamic State but please drop the "so-called".

Or simply use 'those barbaric c*nts'. Everyone will know who they mean.

Lorraine Kelly....so vociferous in her support for Scottish independendence, now getting her mug on every advert break saying "Hi, I'm Team GB" whilst promoting some upcoming national sports day. Hypocritical cow.

she is a horror

Lorraine Kelly is wasted on the young :supergrin:

Must spread rep apparently. :p

Laura Trott. What sort of an accent do you call that ffs.

**** she's on again. Nasal burglar alarm doesn't cover it.

Essex girl.

4 time gold medal winning.

Cyclists that insist on using the road and creating tailbacks, when there is a purpose built cycle path 6 ******* inches away.

GB's magnificent cycling performances in the Olympics now being questioned. Talk about sour grapes...

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/olympics...16-gqtlbh.html

Sour grapes indeed. Absolutely no class whatsoever. W@nkers.

Germans French and Aussies moaning about Brits winning. Who knew:rolleyes:
Anna Mears is past it anyway she didn't do any good against non GB riders. I wonder if the cycling team in the UK get talked up like the Ausssie swimming team do before every Olympics. Inquest on again as to why they did not win what they said. Like I said bronze is the new gold.

I'm getting heartily fed up with LinkedIn, which back in the day was a very dry but reliable business networking forum which served a purpose.

Now you can't move for trite management speak slogans like the Richard Branson one I must have seen a hundred times now - 'train people well enough that they can leave, treat them well enough that they don't want to' - with idiots making chin-stroking comments underneath.

And people who elect to post that they have bagged a top job / won sales manager of the year / been awarded an MBE, and remark underneath how 'proud and humbled' this makes them feel. Not that ******* humble, you've just boasted about it on the World Wide Web.

It's heaven for middle management wannabe twats.

Couldn't agree more. Add to that recruitment agents who add you just so they can get their number of contacts up but then when you actually approach them with a CV give you radio silence.

Well said.

I like Laura Trott. Find her very down to earth. And what an athlete.

The woman on the train to Eastbourne who stood there tutting, huffing and saying loudly enough so everyone within 10 feet could hear what a disgrace it was that all the seats were taken, how selfish and inconsiderate people were for taking up seats when there were others who needed them.
1) I was on the train before you were.
2) There was nothing wrong with you.
3) Without standing up and looking down the aisle how the **** was I to know it was your mother who actually needed the seat?
If you want me to move just ask. Something along the lines of "Excuse me, my Mum isn't steady on her feet, would you mind giving up your seat for her?" would be perfectly acceptable rather than standing there effectively telling everyone what a **** I am for daring to sit down. I'm not a ******* mind reader, I haven't got 360 degree vision so I might no be aware someone needs the seat. Just ******* ask. And don't keep ******* looking daggers at me after I give my seat up and have to stand for an hour.

But, more importantly, Payroll Bellend doesn't like her accent.
