They’ve been on the pitch 30 seconds, have no idea of the pace of the game, chase a few shadows then wallop, a clumsy bodycheck and tumble on top of an opposing player and the ref blows for a free kick.

It’s the equivalent of gatecrashing a party, drinking a few drinks that aren’t yours then throwing up everywhere, all in the space of 2 minutes. This party was going great until you turned up, thanks a lot.

Harsh. It obviously wasn’t going that great - you’ve actually invited him in. The new bloke’s been watching all his mates act like wankers. People who the powers that be deem to be superior to him, and now they want him to clear their fvcking mess up? Get a chance to score from seven yards? Don’t mind if i don’t!

People on Facebook this morning taking posey smiling selfies of themselves with partners/friends then posting it up framed inside the words ‘Lest we forget’.

So many kinds of wrong...

I hate how people use sacred things as some kind of fashion statement to make themselves look ‘caring’ to the outside world.

Remember the red ribbons for AIDS that was a big thing back in the 90’s. It was worn like some kind of fashion accessory by many - mainly students - because it was very trendy for people in showbiz to sport one.

I believe the phrase for that is ‘virtue signalling’.

They spend a few minutes sharing some naff meme and think they’ve participated. No, get off your arse and actually attend an event, such as a service or wreath laying ceremony. Share the experience with real people in your community....that’s showing you care.

My old box had a feature where you could record everything that contained a certain name or actor etc. I had "Crystal Palace" set up, so never had to worry about missing any televised game. It has worked great for the past 5 years or so.

The new box does not seem to have this feature (I've tried every which way), which is bloody annoying.

Cable guy told me the pretty much what you are saying... they to an extent have designed in obsolescence, not unlike a smart phone or computer of any kind.

I've stopped saying thank you to people holding the door open. Most of the time they were opening the door anyway, for themselves. And if they weren't, they're a condescending ****. Like people who take their shitty trays up to the counter when no-one's asked them. It's disgusting getting your food handed to you over some condescending ****'s left over crap.

I'm now at the stage in life when where most idiots expect an obsequious thanks or a meek smile, I usually just swear or give 'em a shitty look.

On a busy road, people who pull over to the other side of the road and park facing the wrong way. That's bad enough. But what really grinds my gears is that they expect to be able to do a U turn when they want to pull away, usually having to take a 3 or 4 point turn to achieve it. TFIF

If there really is a god, they will be flattened by a speeding cyclist, who will mangle their bike in the process. Clash of the Lycras. Our lives are plagued by these minority wankers who think they rule the roost.

Which reminds me - cyclists in pedestrianised areas. Get off and walk, you selfish, lazy, antisocial c*nts. Pedestrians are not your own personal slalom course while you attempt to break your personal best from one end of North End to the other. And stop racing the mobility scooters.

From a very personal standpoint, and a selfish indulgence on my part, I have the opposite problem here when riding my bike on the designated bike path through Venice and Santa Monica.

People walking on the path 2 or 3 abreast, maybe pushing a pram and/or walking a dog... usually oblivious to the fact it is a designated bike path.

What really gets me is that in Venice on the walking path there are signs saying that people riding a bike are subject to a fine... why is there not the same sign on the bike path for pedestrians?

But yes I agree, on the whole cyclist can be selfish idiots when it comes to spatial awareness.

Agree... :p

I think I've moaned about this before, but the latest irritant on the bike paths are these electric scooter thingies.

There is bloody hundreds of them, and they are so damn fast.

Santa Monica is trying to ban them on the bike path and have erected these temporary street warning signs saying, "No e-scooters on this path". Waste of breath as there is no recourse or enforceable laws on the books to stop them.

Re: Spatial v Spacial... my bad. I actually went through life thinking it was "spacial" but maybe about a year ago figured out it was "spatial". Spell check didn't stop me so I just prattled on. Schoolboy error (Secondary school for boys circa 1970 error!).

Actually spacial makes more sense to this dumbass!

As for the fires. It's the same here regarding the celebrities and their homes.

"Ooh its over cooked", when its looks just about done to me.

Not to mention hanging it up for six weeks until it's rank.

People who stop in doorways

The stupid sickly smile on newscasters face when reporting on any of the royals.
What is there about these smug over privileged and frankly irrelevant people that warrant such a reaction or even being part of a news bulletin.

People who stand on the left of escalators. In rush hour.

Another annoyance discovered tonight - Blackfriars Station.

All that money spent on the roof and it does nothing to keep the wind and rain out.

Gist of a conversation with my bank's customer support just now.

Me: I'm trying to deposit a check using my mobile app, and it is telling me it needs an e-mail on file before it can proceed. Yet when I checked my profile on line my e-mail address is in there.

Bank: You have to wait 14 days for this to take affect.

Me: but it was already there, I didn't add it.

Bank: I see you changed a contact phone number

Me: Yes, while in there I saw my old work number was on file so I deleted it, plus added my cell phone number.

Bank: Well every time you make a change, you have to wait 14 days for it to take affect.

Me: But the E-Mail address didn't change, it was in there all along.

Bank: I understand Sir, but the other changes you made have disabled the deposit feature for 14 days.

Me: I guess I will have to go deposit the check in the branch now... thanks!

I believe both are acceptable spellings.

I did some Googling, and it would appear so.

Quote:

The Collins English Dictionary also lists spacial as a variant of spatial, so does the Oxford Advanced. Spatial is then the preferred option and spacial an acceptable alternative.
I don't feel so bad, although kicking myself because, as I said I recently saw he error of my ways.

Bloody stupid English language!

Society trying to eradicate pronouncing t's in words. They find it hard at the beginning of a word but it seems fair game in the middle.

When you see your cat walk in get up and shut the door and smuggly think got you in now (instead of the usual hassle) only to see she has brought a rat with her and you have to chase her out the house again.

Your cat shuts the door behind it?

Because I am not racist and on a site such as this someone will come along and say "racist" just as people will come along and use words such as " hatred" when this thread is about things that annoy you, not hate:afro:!

Thank you for helping with the spelling of his surname.
