'Done and dusted, just like that'.

The number of c*nts not wearing masks in shops. Because they're f*cking hard.

HS2 and their various orange hi-viz subcontractors taking over Camden. Tossbags.

Hard water.

The music used in the advert by SAINt JHN has some interesting lyrics.

Giving it f*cking large.

How do you know they’re not medically exempt ?

How do you know they are?

YES

I don’t

What’s your point caller ?

Just had a look at treating myself to a Fed Perry polo shirt.....80€!?!?!? **** me! Stuff that.

Same as yours, receiver.

Well no, because my question was directed at the ‘complainer’...

Maybe Fed Perry is better stuff than the shite peddled out by its rival, Fred Perry?

And mine was directed at the complainer complaining about the origin complaint.

Don't tell the feds

Doesn't wear a mask.

:p

Ah but there was no complaint about the original complaint, just a question. A question doesn’t always equate to a complaint.

You should know this being a teachererer

That's medically exempt water

People thinking that "medical exemption" is a reasonable excuse for not wearing a mask.

"You've smashed it". The TV, that is. :lux:

Are you becoming a Proud Boy?

An Out and Proud Boy.

I would suggest, to Worksop's ire, that if your medical exemption was serious enough that wearing a mask for a few minutes inside a store would/could cause you serious distress.........then going out shopping might just be something you shouldn't be doing just at this time.

It infringes the freedoms of a small number of people, but does the NHS (and other health systems worldwide) really need people with severe conditions collapsing and needing critical care in the midst of this pandemic.

The likes of Stella on this thread are very clear that he needs to take all sensible precautions (and beyond).

But people will always justify it for the handful of people that have no ody to help, no delivery etc. etc. It's all blah blah.

You are of course right, but Workslop was hungry, and so I enjoin you again...

Ire ?

Some people can't wear masks. Like it or not Pierre.

Of course there's some wankers who refuse to wear them come what may but that's life

LOL... they don't have ears?

You're a strange little man

For someone who preports to have me on ignore, you do a hell of a lot of indirect replying to my posts

Get back to your Jim'll Fix It repeats

Well you don't see them wearing glasses either

How many of the people that Stella was referring to fall into the category of those that 'can't wear masks'. I suspect very few.

He seemed to suggest that he saw a fair number of non-compliers.

Masks are a pain. Wearing them when walking about in 30+ degrees is uncomfortable. Wearing them on a beach, for example. You often feel uncomfortable and look around to see if the coast is clear - outside - and take a breather. Extra annoying when you take them off and your glasses fly across the room.

It is general compliance we are talking about - not breaking it down to the nth degree.

As in anything in society, it is just aggravating to see people just doing what they like. You can go and have a word, but it is likely that those that decide they can't be bothered are well up for a row with anyone that questions their actions. Is that going to make your day any better?

And even if you are willing to stand up to them, do you really want to be rolling around on the floor with someone that has such a lackadaisical attitude to personal responsibility in a 16 month long worldwide pandemic.

I don't know the answer to your first question, that's what I asked Stella.

Wearing masks inside is just common decency and everyone should do it (school kids excepted imo) unless they physically can't. You'll always get some wankers, you will with anything.

Wearing masks outside is preposterous

Not when you are in Paris protesting lockdowns in a large crowd and dancing around in groups bouncing off each other. Or if there are a thousand of you of all ages having a party in Buenos Aires - with many older couples dancing tango,

Or 25,000 of you sitting next to each other in a football stadium.

Try shouting out that word preposterous next to people outside without covering them in your spit. The mask may cover up some of your rising pinkness.

What are blathering on about ‘rising pinkness’ ?

What does that actually mean ? What are you trying to suggest ?

You seem a little confused my dear old thing

Again, spot on.

Assume there must be an add break on your Jim’ll Fix It reruns

You're the 2nd person to ask me that.

You showed me the way. :love:

As was mine, you'd know this if you weren't thick as mince. :hi:

Pah, lime cordial spat :D

OK. I would suggest you need to have some pretty severe issues if you are exempt from wearing a mask in a shop for a short period of time. Probably the sort of issues that might well prevent you from holding down a physical job with HS2 or a roofing company.
In theory my issues exempt me. But I wouldn't even think of going in without a mask.
It's all redundant anyway, because it's not policed in any way at all by most shops.

I only go to the supermarket - Morrison’s and Sainsbury’s usually - and they are pretty strict with it. Sainsbury’s more so. I’d say 98% of people I see in the supermarket are adhering. I went on the train up to Leeds last week and it was 100%.

You need to wear a mask to go into Leeds in normal times.

:supergrin:

Leeds > Chile

I like Leeds. I did my last stint of work there before I ran away from the nonce police.

You are so hurtful with your barbs.

I doubt Leeds is better than the part of the coast where i live.

I've had the original black & yellow "proud boy" one for many years - can't wear it any more though........w8nkers.

My father was from Leeds so I guess I am saying my father > Chile, which I trust you will excuse.

What size is it?

On my next trip back I expect to spend a few days there on part of a grand tour. One of my friends that spend a few years in Chile now lives back there.

I had a few lairy weekends for the cricket at Headingly as well.

During my courtship of Virginia I was toing and froing between London and Santiago. Russell Mellon were kind enough to provide me with a good contract job with very flexible travel arrangements (I mean shockingly generous - three months contract - two weeks off for Santiago - rinse and repeat and a bonus at the end of each three months that paid for the air fare lol).

I finished up with them, and had a final six month trial in Santiago. On the cusp of coming back to London to sell my house I not only had the very lucky news that my mate wanted to buy my house, but also that Russell Mellon wanted to have me work in their Pension place in Leeds for six months. Monday to Friday, return fares to London for the weekend, nice city centre hotel next to the office and an expense account for meals.

Not a bad see off that last six months in Blighty. Even managed to get Virginia over for a couple of weeks for Spain, The UK and Paris.

Happy Dayz.

The other day I had glasses, hearing aids and a mask all relying on my ears to function... what would we do without them?

No wonder my ears are beginning to look like Gary Lineker's!

Speak up...

The fact that the finalist in Tipping point continually gets asked what zone they want to drop in even after they've just taken a feckin trade. It's whatever zone the jackpot counter is in unless they say different now just get on with it.

Being advised by the nurse at the surgery to buy a blood pressure device. Paying out for not the cheapest, its a piece of crap (Neil Young). 6pm its call the ambulance, 6.10 perfectly fine.

Wow, I've just had an identical conversation with a nurse at my surgery this afternoon. I get that right now, reducing the number of patients attending clinics wherever possible makes sense where possible, but come on...

I’m not too happy about actresses being called actors, now. Who decided that?

Thanks. Still here and no palpitations and quietly confident of making it to May. :p

[QUOTE=El Aguila;15765726]I’m not too happy about actresses being called actors, now. Who decided that?
:supergrin: I have noticed that.

My advice, don't put too much trust in them. The old fashioned pump ones are more accurate. Not that I have any medical training. I just take the drugs prescribed.

Not sure but you can bet they won't do away with the Best Actress Oscar award any time soon.

If policewomen are just police officers etc etc...

I agree with the above post about the best actress award though, that’s a whole fan of worms to dig into.

I get it, they’re people who act. I just really don’t see what we’ve gained, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

I've met Thatch. won't fit you tubby.:supergrin:

It's not for my tubby, it's for me.

On the subject of gender based grammar, it irritated me in French and Spanish lessons that we had to double up on certain words. I didn't really bother with those lessons, something that has annoyed me in later life, as I'm quite embarrassed that I still only speak one language.

Maybe I should marry an Italian woman, I like the sound of that language. Maybe one of those fiery ones who makes delicious food, she can throw pots and pans at me, then make lurve and feed each other homemade puttanesca. I need to start working on a plan of action (first up - stop being such a bellend all the time).

We have a really good bakery where we live but to jave any choice before they sell out you have to get there by 9am at the latest a qunue for ages.
On top of this I have to remeber to take a bag and facemask. What happened to.popping to the shops for a loaf of bread??

German-speakers - some of them at least, I don't know if it's universal but I've seen it in numerous newspapers - these days are doing something really bizarre. In German, the feminine of any agentive noun is made by adding -in and making the noun feminine gender. Now historically if you wanted to talk about all actors and actresses irrespective of gender you could just say Schauspieler and the masculine would import the feminine, and if you meant specifically an actress that would be die Schauspielerin.

Then the politically correct police came along and decided that wouldn't do, so now if you mean a bunch of actors including both genders you have to use the feminine form but - and this is the good bit - you capitalise the suffix. So they write SchauspielerInnen (capital I in the middle of the word).

Computer programmers call this camel case. It's common in computer languages to separate words in a single token without inserting a space which is used to delimit tokens; but I can't think of any other cases in any human language in which camel case can be gramatically correct.

Google got a hammering this morning.

:D

I think not only is the Italian language probably the most beautiful language, the natives are beautiful, too.

It's annoying when you make a cup of tea and, seemingly for no reason, it tastes like crap.

john c pal. Seriously, can we ban that fvcking idiot.

Streateries.

Discovering that your favourite kebab house just round the corner which used to do excellent doner and mixed kebabs is under new management and is now piss poor.

Received an job advert from an in-house recruiter with no salary range on it. Why? Just give me an idea of whether it's worth my time or not.

Allowing a member of the oppositions surplus player to umpire against us today....bit us right on the arse with 3 lbws being given, with 2, including mine being dubious to say the least. Lesson hopefully learned but **** me it's annoying. Luckily it got me out of the middle just in time to see City's 2 goals in three minutes to really cheer me up.

That's been a thing for years and years.

It is the same as you can't call a server a waitress in the USA, and that air hostesses are cabin crew.

The award for best female actor goes to...

I guess some will start to pink up over it.

Another little mindfield for the unsuspecting Brit to fall into when ordering coffee in a diner on Route 66.

I suspect some poor male interviewer will get chastised live on air when trying to compliment someone for being an excellent actress.

It all reminds me of two infamous American cases. The now outlawed (I Imagine) meme of the black newsreader looking identical to the photofit of an alleged rapist. And the newscasters having a light hearted chat about a gorilla (I think) and the dizzy blond remarking he looked a lot like her co.anchor. Next day she was in tears apologising on TV.

Having two players in my fantasy team rested by Man City today.

Not that it helped us, but shouldn't Man City receive a punishment for resting their whole first team. Aguero played (and scored) FFS.

Who in particular are you trying to whoosh ?

XL but it has shrunk a fair bit......

Has it? ;)

I can think of no other reason why it is now so snug.......honest guv.

This might stump the pub Pinocchio who likes to tell anyone who'll listen that he shagged a few actresses in his time.

She's been packing for two days now... we are only going for 2 nights!

dropping my phone in the bath.

To be fair, it only took me 30 minutes to pack, but I'm taking way too much stuff as always. I bet I only wear 50% of what I'm taking and it will be all wrinkled when I do wear what I do use.

This evokes so many questions!

Are you OK? You were moaning about the way young people dress on another thread recently.

This is one I may have mentioned before, but it deserves pride of place for me and CT...
...TV sport here is only interested in the top teams in Europe here. Thus, you can be sure that Palace get a mention on the highlight reel whenever we get beaten by a big side.

Trust me, 8 years of that (just in the current stint) gets very wearing.

What irks even more is there have been multiple occasions where we have pulled off a great result against one of them, and we don't get a mention. I don't think Townsend's goal was shown anywhere.

When I was teaching at the Uni, my Monday's were plagued by wisearse remarks from those that had seen Palace lose badly again in these news snippets.

.

Or equally annoying, only been shown live here when we're playing against one of the big teams.... and therefore invariably getting tonked.
(although I have to say we had a very good run at the beginning of the season with our first 9 or 10 games being shown live)
It does of course only confirm the 6 big teams ideas' of grandeur (ESL). And is also annoyingly self serving. ESPN only show big 6 games live in S.America, therefore the audience viewing figures show that everyone in S.Am likes to watch the big 6, therefore the big 6 think they are they only teams that the overseas market want to watch.

I kind of agree. But I think you were turned off from Palace this season.

I have watched many more Palace games on ESPN this season than just the first 10. In the Premier I can only remember one game not making the cut up to end March. More recently, the Spaniards and Italians have encroached on that TV turf, changing their game times on the weekend to get a slice of the pie.

For a variety of reasons I have missed the last three. Class at the start of the Chelsea game, and it was done and dusted as my class finished at 15 minutes in. I caught the second half. Leicester and Man City I have been in Santiago finally getting my property sold - we signed the papers in January.

We can all see that this season's finale is a carbon copy of last term. I feel guilty missing the chance to watch when I have it on a plate, but in pandemic times having a weekend ruined by that crap is not worth it. Things are depressing enough.

The cat shitting on the floor despite having 2 litter trays, cos he's scared to go in the garden because of foxes.

Good one. :wallbash:

I'm all for sharing, but people using my poncy beer glasses causes me great distress, especially when I've intentionally hidden them at the back of the cupboard. Just use one of the hundreds of pint glasses you'd have had to move out the way to get to them.

So I am not the only one. My youngest does this, think he wants a reaction. Git

What is a poncy beer glass? It’s either a straight or a jug isn’t it? We demand a pic to see it’s poncyness
