When people refer to sportsmen by their first name:

“Vincente will be annoyed he hasn’t done better there”

“Novak has worked really hard on his serve this last year”

“Lewis can still catch Sebastian at turn 3”

All bar Twiggy:love:

I'll see your Claudia and raise it with a Victoria Beckham...

Don't do that. It hurts and you get muddy.
Sell the running machine and buy a turbo trainer and second hand bike. Follow CTX videos on YouTube. [emoji3]

Any programmes prefaced by the term ‘celebrity’ an instant turn off. Patronising assumption but sadly with an element of truth that there are many ‘celebrity ‘obsessed brits. The sort that buy the vacuous mind numbing ‘celebrity’ magazines and then tune in to the above drivel.

Some drivel on BBC1 called 'Big Hero 6'.

I presume that means that they made 5 more of this utter garbage. Do kids actually watch this tosh? And why do cartoon kids always have such an ATTITUDE?

Bloody trash mesmerised me. I strongly suspect there is some evil subliminal message here.

No, it's not a sequel

Phew!!

I remember Bar 6.

Wasn't that a chocolate wafer?

No Star wars movie this Christmas break, disgusting I had to watch some shite which apparently is family friendly.....what is the world coming to, not a single good movie out this Christmas....

People who post long, self-indulgent ‘Well, what a year it’s been’ posts on Facebook.

Yeah, yeah, I know - I should ditch them - or Facebook - or both......

Think there was. I was unfortunate to catch 30 seconds of it before I turned over

Anyone who refers to themself as a "foodie’.

*****.

Pseudo-Liverpool ‘fans’ suddenly coming out of the closet & giving it the big un’ after 30 years....

Indeed, orange wrapper tasted bit like a Kit Kat.

Why on earth would you eat the wrapper?

Tasted a bit like a kit kat.

Listening to the newsreader right now proclaiming excitedly, ‘Massive celebrations in London and Edinburgh this evening’.

Celebrating what???? Did someone win something? No...one day is turning into another day - unbelievable. I can’t quite contain my excitement.

I know what you mean mate.

I can't keep my eyes open already. No way will I see the russian new year, let alone the British version.

Today up at 4am for work.

Am fecked. One can of Strongbow and I'll be out.

Please tell me there was a least one eBay transaction in all that travelling? I’d be concerned if there wasn’t

:D

Incredibly there wasn't. Mostly due to the fact that I can't get the garage door open anymore. It opens halfway then hits the top of the multi gym I managed to get in there. There's an industrial exercise bike there too but it's too heavy to move, even after using the multi gym. I went back to south norwood and got the speakers for the telly but technically that was for an earlier ebay transaction so doesn't count.

Hang on, I’ve just consulted VAR....

IT COUNTS! :lux:

:D

Lately I've been using this thing called a 'post office'? Not really sure if it will catch on, but stuff seems to arrive without me spending hours and money going to collect it. All a bit alien to me if I'm honest. Could have had a dog in Bournemouth but that wasn't ebay.

Not getting paid today when I should have been.

:eek:

The excessive hype around new year’s. I’m still going out and all, but never got that excitement.

:vader:

:)

Audiences at gigs...tonights specials were two.women asking me if we could.do some " happy new year music like Abba" we are a 4 piece rock band...what do you think? A bloke who decided the best time to ask our guitarist who played a particular song was as he was playing the intro to the next one and several idiots who think I can hold a conversation with them whilst I'm singing.

January. Seriously, just fvck off

These days you can also get the Palace result within seconds of the game ending from the comfort of your own home.

Well, did you play ABBA ? If not what Happy new year music did you play? Micheal Bubble? You are his spitting image and I bet you sound just like him.

I must admit that joining the ranks of you armchair fans is becoming more and more appealing these days mate. The corporate bodge decision and half arsed divisive singing section idiot implementation have taken a lot of my passion away. Can put up with the 24 hour journeys as am usually pissed/asleep. But was always dreaming that with the 100 million windfall we would tear down the 3 cowsheds and build an acoustically brilliant structure around the holmesdale. Not pander to the whims of corporate wankers with tunnel clubs and hospitality lounges. Could have stuck them all round the top with perfect views close to the pitch with the right design. Not stripped the whitehorse to 11 rows and left the arthur in its dangerous state. *****.

Elgin is the most annoyed poster on this thread. :)

A guy who cannot manage the contents of his own garage in a way that he can actually open the door properly is the last person who should be giving advice on ground improvements :D

:D

He is a very passionate person.

:D

Its an acoustically brilliant garage though :p

Haha a lot of them are post-annoyance banter :) they dont count as annoyances.

Have you discussed this with the club

I hope the time you were in the back of my car after the FA cup final when we stopped off at a service station and BUBBS and I are starting talking to a Man U fan about the game for about 15 minutes has got a mention on this thread. You were bloody livid. You even rang Keltic from the car to have a moan about us :supergrin:

You are thinking of turning into a recording studio aren't you? :eek:

Brilliant 👍🏻😀

Quality top 3 is that :supergrin:

I still dont know how you did it. I wanted to start windmilling in the queue for the burger king. You are far too cosmopolitan for the likes of me.

Elgin hates opposition fans.

We were watching Palace v Man U in a pub in Stirling, and Keltic had the bright idea of inviting his Man U supporting next door neighbour along.

If looks could kill.

To be fair Keltic's neighbour was as about as obnoxious as you could get for a Man U fan (which is saying something) and I was almost egging on Elgin to give him a slap, as he did deserve it.

If i hadnt had the hair transplant i woud have had a massive shed in the garden by now and only a half full garage.

Up your game Rich.

Lists that I try to resist looking at and then spend 10 minutes reviewing in detail.
:p

:p

Looks like I might need to lighten up a bit in 2019.

Oops! That's another one now :D

Only 30 more days and February will be here :)

Chocks is 5th and hes been gone for almost 2 years. :supergrin:

I did my usual "this was an abba song" and play Pretty Vacant.

This made me laugh :)

Bless him

Your shed would need to be at least 100 feet tall.

Not sure how I’m gonna make it mate. Is there any cricket on ?

Point of order, “Bournemouth International Airport” is actually located in Christchurch.

FACT.

Long way to go to beat Elgin :)

Yup Australia V India and I do hope the Aus loose.

England tour of windies is end of Jan, got 22 days to wait for the first test :(

I know that now. I got out and asked a bloke where the bus stop for the station was. He took the bit of straw out of his mouth and said 'its down there but there isnt one for about 2 hours. We only get 3 flights land a day in winter'. Was 18 quid in a cab but luckily i saw a cypriot looking equally perplexed and we shared one.

Bit like OJ on this clip?

Cheaper to buy next door and convert it into a shed :)

Another point of order, if you take the train to Bournemouth station you then need to get a bus or taxi to actually reach Bournemouth.

FACT.

Out of interest, did you take a taxi from “Bournemouth International Airport” to Christchurch or Bournemouth train station?

Is nothing actually in Bournemouth? It sounds like Atlantis for bumpkins :)

:D

Or take a 20 minute walk that ranks as far more depressing than even Blackpool can deliver. I believe there is a more scenic route avoiding the town.

Students and scouse drug addicts mainly.

Graffiti, tacky shops, benches in the shopping centre covered in bird shite. Couldn't believe how depressing the place is.

Bournemouth station mate. Apparently Christchurch station has even less trains than Bournemouth 'international' airport has aeroplanes.

I am gutted I am only 13th. New years resolution is to get more grumpy.:mad:

No wonder the taxi cost so much, it’s nearly twice the distance. :D

And every train that stops at Bournemouth also stops at Christchurch.:D

Just noticed the list actually updates with new posts. I'm going for it now!

Pm me if you need any advice

Haven't been to Bournemouth in yonks but I'm surprised about that.
It always used to be a better class of coastal town.

He should PM the top guy, not you. You are only third on the list. Loser.

Mine never. The first stop was Brockenhurst, then Southampton.

Is christchurst the other way, towards poole?

Nice to have a new years resolution :)

When the wife is (possibly) right.

Tad concerning that I’m 7th on that list. A frequent comment of hers is my general grumpiness, which I always strenuously refute.
But what’s more concerning is that I’m more grumpy than PeterH, who I’m pretty sure has awards for outstanding grumpiness.

Which are you?

Should have gone to Christchurch and bought Blind a pint in The Railway.

I know. If id planned it better i would have. Could have picked his brain about Porton Down and other military matters.

You Tube “influencers”. Narcissistic people with no discernible talent or employability wittering on about make up or their brattish kids. These people have millions of followers - the internet really is full of rubbish.

Have you got alzheimers?

That link doesn’t work Elgin.

At a guess you were on the Manchester Piccadilly service? AFAIK it is the only service which doesn’t stop at both stations.

Yeah I was mate. Typical. Mind you I got home at 2am as it was, probably for the best.

Journalists who aren't from London banging on about being Londoners. You're not. F*ck off.

Sanding down floors. Mind you Bourne Seal is wicked stuff by the looks. Much better than varnish (highly annoyingly as I have shitloads of that).

If you ever wonder about odd shit Elgin then ask just why the Manchester bound service doesn’t stop in towns like Christchurch (population 46,000) but pretty much always stops at Brockenhurst (population 3,500 + one aristocrat with an estate in the north)

Maybe he doesnt want Christchurch riff raff on his train. Who is he/she anyway?

It's been established that fact based geography is unwelcome on this thread

There used to be a FACT thread but I don't remember where. Does seem like cross country are missing a trick though.

What about the Waterloo fasts such as the 19.50 tonight? It stopped at Bournemouth but not at Christchurch. But trains never really were of great interest to you. :supergrin:

I could fill an entire thread for pages just with things that annoy me about YouTube and you tubers.

Ghost trains.

Things that annoy you
 

I'm a fairly respectable 9th!

And another one - houses still with Christmas Lights - it’s the fecking New Year.

Dr Who

I believe the tree and lights are acceptable for the 12 days of Christmas, which would be until January 5th.

That's always been my understanding anyway.

Can I not have this post counted in the Grumpy Old Men league table being banded about on here?

Nothing more annoying than miserable old gits trying to engineer an advantage.

You have till January 6th to take them down.
