Chris Wylie.

Orange/Pink-haired, nose-pierced. trendy spec wearing, attention-seeking tw@t.

The attraction/annoyance of the BBS political thread. Give me a light hearted thread every day of the week over this pointless back and forth with diametrically opposed other people.

The Corbyn/anti-Semite back and forth makes your eyes bleed.

That anti-semite bollocks does my head in. But not as much as the free pass the yanks get to control the globe and all the problems it causes as a result.

French train strikes scheduled for May 3rd when my wife and father in law are going to be going from Paris to Bayeux for Normandy tour. ****ers.

People driving with fog lights on

People not turning their car lights on when it’s raining!

I feel we should push for a seperate "Politics Forum" to allow the bores, the blowhards and the poorly opinionated to all congregate in one place so they can be ignored....

people who say politics is boring who thereby play into the establishment hands
other annoyances TV presenters full of their self importance constantly waving their hands around.
Finally the Metro freesheet front page today headlining Brooklyn Beckham has a new partner, a sign of the continuing moronisation of Britain probably linked to the first point .

Amen, brother, amen...

I didn't say politics was boring, I said the people who want to constantly start threads about it on here are boring.

Just come back from there,if they don't make it shall I post some pics so they can see what they missed.

******* my knee up. Really cba with this

Going into my local health food place to by some pro biotics, only to find that they are double the price of what I can buy online....for half the amount!!

People who can't read road markings coming up to a roundabout on a dual carriageway, 3 times this certain road (A264 Dorking rd great Deux roundabout) markings indicate that the inside lane is left turn only (toward Southwater/Bognor) and I was on the outside lane clearly indicating that I was turning left yet the 3 cars in the inside shot across one missing me and 2 just after.

Why were you on the outside lane if you were turning left?

Or a solitary confinement thread they can be sent to with a Autobot res-ponder that simply answers with the opposite of what is being said, so they can yes/no to their hearts content.

There should also be another for negative player/manager whingers that does the same. Guess who's first in?

Does it begin with K, ends in Y and sounds like an attention seeking knobjockey?

On non foggy days? Thats a south london speciality that is.

This past weekends many grumbles:

People who dither and fanny about with the food choices at hotel breakfast buffets.

That section of society (who I can't name as it may be sexist!) who just don't understand they have to a pay at a checkout/till after purchasing something.

Wimps/mad people who mumble something as you walk past them but you don't catch what they're saying? Please could they provide a transcript so I can decide whether to give abuse/violence/pity as required back!

The Premier league for not punishing AFC Bournemouth's pitiful ground capacity by forcing them to give at least 3000 away tickets for every home game.

Knob_Jockey as a user name would fit that criteria with they K and the Y certainly. Just need to add the Jelly and it sums up prefectly :supergrin:

Weirdo, stalker , nutter, Fraggle alert :supergrin:

My current moans:
Modern cars , they are designed so you cannot do a thing to them without plugging them into a computer.
People who you are doing a favour for and giving them a lift yet they still take their time doing their bits while you are hanging around waiting for them.

Don't know why but people who join the bbs and rack up more posts in 6 months than I have in 15 years. Always makes me think it's a bit weird ,or obsessive.

Croydon Council.

Leaving the wheelie bin on the pavement - yet again. And then they have the brass neck to put THIS on their website:

"Please note: Garden waste is a subscription service, collection dates may take up to 48 hours to appear once bins have been delivered. You should move your bin to the edge of your property for collection the night before the bins are due to be emptied. Please don't leave it on the pavement or in the road."

Arseholes!!

And then they start accusing you of not having a life because you have a high number of posts.....over almost 20 years of using the BBS!

The constant grey sky's and drizzle this spring.

The number of adverts that have thirty somethings with beards in them. Why?

Because beards are cool and everyone should have one even ladies

I blame Mumford and Sons

I blame Muslims, ( please insert response into any other thread where a crime is committed).

Well I blame Leavers, so there.

I blame buses with lies written on the side.

Box office printing charge for tickets £3- went to the box office today as couldn’t print my Brighton ticket - went to the library and same issue - tried 2 different browsers and just got a blank screen.

Popped down to the office and told there’s now a £3 after saying are you joking it was printed out for free.

I’m sure they tell you to go to box office if you have printing issues

It took all of 5 seconds to print equating to an hourly rate of £2160.

Everyone having them makes them the opposite of cool, surely?

London Bridge station, the new shopping arcade bits with the mostly unopened shops, picture of an old man pretending to play an electric guitar in a wacky way.

Can’t quite put my finger on why, but it really boils my piss.

stupid trends.

I hope people in 10 years look back at this odd Beardy-hipster era and think "what were they thinking".

Another to add on this topic.

Their inability to filter out male conversations in the workplace with comments such as "I'm trying to work but can't concentrate" and "Haven't you got work to do?"

Whereas the male employees are perfectly able to ignore the endless chatter and pointless dribble they spit out for most of the day!

FFS one rule for one group and all!

No, it doesn't.

I think it does! What do you make it?

I make it a very crude miscalculation of a job costing, ignoring all the other costs involved.

Fair point...I forgot to take into account 5 secs of office rental, rates & worker wages, printer/computer use & electricity, a smidgeon of wear and tear, plus one sheet of paper and ink in my calculation! That'll bring it down a bob or two!

Zuckerberg giving evidence. Sounds like one of his own data scraping bots starting every single answer with "Congressman/woman" whilst saying absolutely nothing of substance. Dick

It's a rip off whatever way you look at it.

I can board a plane with a "ticket" printed on my own printer. Why not go to an event with a home printed "ticket" ?

There's absolutely no justification whatsoever.

Take it you think the cost is justified - I’m sure that there use to be something somewhere that said - come to the club shop and we’ll reprint if you are having problems. No cost mentioned.

This is having already paid £42!

Liverpool continuing to enjoy European glory nights when they robbed us back in ‘91 of our moment in Europe...which ironically wouldn’t have been a issue if their fans hadn’t got us banned in the first place.

Yes, I know it was 27 years ago, but I can’t let it go. The underhand injustice of it all still infuriates me to this day.

Saying the same to a mate in the pub tonight when he asked me why I hoped they get thrashed in the semi finals

Let's face it, he is just going through the motions and catering to the politicians egotistical whims.

Wear a suit and tie, call them Congressman/woman for a few days, then go back to the real world and get on with life.

He is just checking boxes doing this. I'm sure he knows no more about what Russians or Cambridge Analytical know or did, or doing than any of us.

I imagine people will be watching replays of last nights European Cup Quarter Finals in 10-20 years time and they'll see Manchester City's goalkeeper with a neck tattoo that a member of a US State Prison Gang would have thought was ill advised just a few years ago and think ... "what were they thinking".

But seriously. I guess if you're that rich, you can ameliorate your inevitable regrets by way of ostentatious spending but still ... Even to a footballer, decisions like that betray a fundamental lack of good judgement.

The whole tattoo craze is weird. Used to be the domain of the hardened few but now any straight laced normal officey type has got one. It’s actually got to the stage when not having one is unusual.

Is this it? Is this normal now or will it go like men’s earrings in the 80’s?

******* buffoon

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/43723655

Tattoo removal specialists will be very rich in about 20 years time.

I thought vegans with it tattooed on them were sad, but yesterday I saw a slow park runner with his pb tattooed across his back.

What happens if he beats it?

That’s actually a very good shout. When I was at school all the adults used to say, ‘get into computers son - that’s where the money’s going to be.’ Kids today will be told, ‘laser surgeon son - that’s the future.’

Commonwealth Games. Worked last night so thought I would watch for a bit, saw the longest ever mountain bike race, lasted about 2 hours with all the action, such as it was, in the last 100 metres. All the time I held on the promise of Beach Volleyball to follow. When it did, Men’s. Absolutely gutted. :veryangry

He’s an absolute bell and sums the bbc up to a t.

He was just probably promoting his new 'fastest growing sport in the UK' of 'Interviewer falling in the pool accidentally'. When he gets back he will interview himself eight times every morning on the Breakfast show on how he is the world champion at it. This until five minutes later when someone else comes along and does it better than him and the sport is forgotten about by its inventor and former sole participant/world champion/record holder and by the general public.

:D

When the ban was lifted - EVERYTIME they then qualified - the League should have said 'NO' - you are still banned - we are giving your place in turn to the teams that missed out.

Every club paid for their mistake.

:supergrin:
You know there is always the internet ?

Why does it need printing ?
Why cannot they scan it from a smart phone ?

I know someone who lives in the same village and he is like it all the time. Completely barking

If you're printing 720 an hour, the additional costs are hardly just "incidental". JAT.

Nope and I never said that. But calculating an inflated hourly rate to try and base an argument is misleading.

I reckon more like 10 years. As Oscar Wilde one said ' the only problem with being in fashion is that next week you will be out of fashion'.

Sitting in my local, watching Champions League football and having to listen to yanks continuously arguing about how away goals count double works. If people think our colonial cousins don't understand irony well they definitely haven't got a clue when it comes to' Away goals counting bloody double. Listening to a couple of the brighter sparks trying to explain it, would make you weep. One example was, when City went a goal ahead the expert up the bar told his buddy, " you see Dwayne, now City have two goals, because they count as two." This had them all further confused until one of my mates spoiled it by explaining to them that they're called 'Away Goals' for a reason. The response to this was something like, "oh so this match up is in Man--Chester? So if the goals away are double, does this mean United get six goals for last Saturday.:wallbash:

Doesn’t scan at the turnstile

£3 to print a ticket extortionate mate

It’s one ticket - typed my in and printed the ticket - extortionate cost when over 40 notes has already changed hands

People that are overly polite to the point that you know it's fake and then make you wonder if they're trying to take the piss.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, 100%. I couldn't agree with you more.

People of limited vocabulary, or just lazy with their words. Particularly exclamations and phrases, such as:

Bless
Quality
Are you serious right now (USA)
Take care
Sorted
Like (used as some sort of pre-fix to a quotation. "He was like,....." )

Try extending your vocabulary by reading a book,...with words in it, as well as pictures.

Muscle stiffness in the morning. How can you go to bed at night feeling like an elastic band and wake up like a plank of wood. Poxy muscles.

Brummie Allan being a bit of a jobsworth

To save me (and many others) trawling through every thread, can you explain why ? Always seems a very good and fair mod

His response to me having a bit of fun on the Pre Brighton Press conference

"From someone who is relying on the bbs for the updates and not able to watch it from GPD till I can be arsed to let you back."

The last line makes him look a little bit power hungry if you ask me.

The Mods happily ignore casual racism and homophobia, but if you piss off a pre menstrual Brummie Allan you're for it!

One of the biggest stitch ups ever. If they announced the ban was lifted at the start of that season, then that would’ve been one thing; but no, they waited until the precise moment we thought we’d qualified in mid April!, then welcomed them back in with open arms. :veryangry

Wait until you get into your 50s mate!!

The phrase M23 Derby

50's. thats nothing. wait till you in your late 70's, mind you. there is a bit i wouldn't having a bit of stiffness again.

You were a twit an you deserved it. Suck it up.

I'm confident that i'll survive, but it is interesting to note that access to certain areas of the site appear to be based upon the whims of Brummie Allan.

I s’pose that’s why he’s a mod, no ?

I doubt the exclusion is for ever.

In fairness the F.A. probably wish they had thought this up. Cast iron way to let the wankers win the league every season.

No jobsworth in the slightest. Post something like Goal or Shit! or Wilf's injured on a live thread, where people like me are waiting to hear the news from other users is an instant ban from that forum. You're lucky it wasn't from the whole site.

I've put you back on now. All mods will not hesitate to do it again.

Why don't you tell the whole truth. you got banned for posting this:-
and then ******* off the another thread on WW3 and not caring about the consequences of your post for people waiting for news.

And it would be more likely to be menopausal at my age.

Itchy earwax bloody annoying.

the M23 doesn't even go to Derby

People on here referring to money as sheets.

or notes.

:hi:

Benidorm, what a shit hole.

Sovs?

Tbf to him, most weeks on the press conference threads he makes one or two obviously not serious posts, which are easy to spot and for that reason I didn’t think anything of it when I saw his post. Maybe it missed its’ mark, wasn’t very funny and was a bit stupid, but banning him was a bit harsh.

The often tediously long walk to departure gates and the even longer walk back to arrivals at Gatwick. Torturous after two days on the piss in Amsterdam.
