Been getting Geico insurance and shark tank one that have sneaked through a lot. Mark as spam and move on

I used to date a chick in Kiev.

Jermaine Jenas saying yesterday on the BBC website saying that playing all those games over Xmas means you are constantly in pain.Then adding you had to watch what you ate,getting enough sleep and doing more gym work rather than time out on the training field. Really??

I was listening to a podcast where the comedian Milton Jones went to Uganda where he went to visit a school for former child soldiers who were kidnapped from school and forced to fight and when they returned to their homes most of their familly had been killed and the community did not accept them back as they had been forced to kill people.

Thats painful Jermaine, not running around a football pitch for 90 minutes three times in a week earning shed loads of money then going back to your homes and spending thousands of pounds on things like clothes and making me take pity on you because you were not allowed to have a xmas dinner.

People who use the saying 'You love to to see it'

**** off

BBC iPlayer showing a drama in UHD but not streaming the 5.1 surround sound that it was broadcast in.

Is this an attempt at a corny joke ?:D

Yes it was quite poultry,

That's why I said you could try and sound up market, hoping bullshit baffles brains. Apparantly the good stuff comes from Chile or Peru , so I understand from Mr Brennan's year one class at Bishop Grant way back when.

The demise of the BlackBerry with its beautiful keyboard.
Classic models support switched off today.

And just when there seems to be some demand growing for physical touch pads.

the fact that actual laws are needed to stop creepy weirdoes taking photos of women breastfeeding.

Second day back at work following a 3 week break, and already Zoom has broken my spirit for the year.

I need a new job.

I am currently "resting", however my other half is still working. Most nights she announces she has set her alarm ( like I give a flying one, or indeed need one as I wake up early). When the alarm goes off, she eventually stops it, and then goes back to sleep.

"limbs" - this limbs thing. It's stupid.

Not the best is it? Fascinating how words surface in terms of usage, spread and then sink without trace. Wouldn't be too upset if this one spent more time with Davy Jones (the one with the locker, not the Monkee ..... although.....).

Some re-surface. Cool is a good example. Hip in the 60's, not so much in the 70's? but reborn in the modern 20's.

What is a shark tank, other than something you can store a shark in.

not had any Geico spam, although when I had hooky US stream, they were advertised by Max Branning from Eastenders.

Shark Tank is a USA Dragons den. I keep getting emails about shite that was "fought over by the sharks" Kohl's cash is another and Liberty Insurance. They keep getting through Googles Spam filters. Nasty Links on them. Report and move on is all I do

this limbs thing..? :confused: :confused:

With Google's help...it seems to means falling arse over tit or wasted/knackered...but I also have no idea how it's used. My personal word hate at the moment is " longing" as in I'm not longing you"..( I'm not putting you off").

It's a message my daughter received from a prospective husband..which immediately gave me a less than favourable impression. Is longing actually a cool word to be used by a 30 something man?

It's describes a particularly animated goal celebration such as the one at the Amex when Wilf scored.
Fan watching on TV: "Wow look at that crowd they're going crazy"
His mate: "Innit mate. Proper Limbs"

I've never heard of limbs or longing, that settles it, I must be an old **** now

Got it. Tks.
Now... how to slip this into conversation thus proving my cred?

ref limbs, we would know it better as a "pile on", possibly.

"OOhhh look at her Limbs"


??

Most language used by my kids annoys me
Peng good
Anyways no its anyway
Err Yeah at end of every sentence
I could go on and on but it will just further prove what an old horrible git I am

I heard my teenage daughter say "swear down" the other day - no idea.

It works for me :p

There would have been 'limbs' and 'absolute scenes' had Mateta's bicycle kick gone in on Saturday.

My lad & I are doing the 92. We had tickets for games at Wycombe, Forest Green & Everton before Christmas - all postponed due to Covid.

Wycombe & Forest Green have already refunded me the costs of the tickets. Everton say that 'a member of the Fan Services team will respond to you within 28 working days to ensure we can gather as much information as possible relating to your query'

Just give me my £75 back, you billionaire-owned, multi-million-pound-operation, 'People's Club'....

My laptop.
It now only charges the battery when the lid is closed and doesn't recognise it is plugged in otherwise.

Similar here. Just tried to pay for an extra 27 months of warranty and the Pay with PayPal link doesn’t work. Lenovo are just useless

People who have business teams meeting in McDonalds. Get a life and an office

It's a common problem with Lenovo, but there is an easy fix.

I've heard of Peng, from that chicken shop dude, dunno if he's still going, did one down Cherry Orchard Road, got a fro now that rivals the great George Berry:afro:

1st world problems I know, but no milk with my Tesco order- surely they must have some milk, i asked for UHT, couldn't they have given me normal moo milk, semi skimmed..

Day 8 of isolation, freedom saturday, will stock up!

You got covid? No wonder youve been busy in the recommend a program thread

Noticed recently a lack of 1 pint cartons? Is the industry phasing them out I wonder?

Yes, a bit of a ballache, but no worse than mild flu, it's bleedin freezing up here today so bbs'in.

Try Chestnut man if you ain't already, it be right up your street.

Being a greedy stock up type, I asked for 6x 1 litre box, I would have been happy with just the one litre!

You know when you've been exiledsterlinged!

Luckily the khazi roll came!!

Having to do 5 long and dumb compliance courses for the Nth time relating to things like money laundering when I am in a job where there is zero possibility it impacts me

I do like this lad's work. My word though, you should see the size of him now. He genuinely looks like someone has taken a bicycle pump to him. He's also reviewed Morley's in Thornton Heath.

Maybe, the Nectar app tells me every week that if I manage to find a pint in J Sainsburys i'll get 40 points but i've not seen one since about October.

I went to the supermarket yesterday morning. A lot of empty shelves.

Also a lot of boxes of stuff just sitting on the floor waiting to be put onto shelves. I can only assume it is due to COVID depleted distribution services and market shelf stackers.

BTW, this doesn't annoy me, just sort of following up on some posts above.

Cars with poncy names for their colour.

Monaco Blue, Imola Red, Biscuit Brown………:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

I had a 1974 Avenger which was ‘Carribean Blue’. In other words, ‘Really ****ing Turquoise’…

My Mums car was famously Misty Lilac, an colour known throughout our family.
Always pronounced Lie-Lack.

Is this a new symptom. I just felt a bit snotty and tired :D

As I get older, I hate waiting more and more.

Had a Mk3 Cortina that was Silver Fox and Miami Blue.

But the feel of a freshly shaved ball sack is worth the wait.

Shortly followed by the sting of the aftershave?

Yes, I was in pensions and had to do the same feckin course anually, plus TCF and bullying and other crappy courses.

Not that I'm into bullying, but the compliance bozo's who force us to do these deserve dead arming and a noogie

Problem is that the FCA hammer the company and them if it isn't done. Yet, despite that look at the fines handed out to HSBC and Lloyds relatively recently and how they allowed money laundering to happen - one example large amounts of cash accepted in black bin bags, so something isn't right.

Blimey, you're a bit young to have an Avenger. Mine was from 1973 and I got rid of it in about 1993. It was an amazing car, built like a tank but it had started to rot in places. You could see the road through the floor when driving. Mine was a reddish-orange colour. Might have been called flame red. I think that they generally came in the colour of your car or mine or at least they were the most popular.

scenes

My dad had a red/orange avenger circa 75/80- radio was pinched at some point, he got rid of it due to said rot, aesthetically though a thing of beauty :love:

When's your trial date? https://makeagif.com/gif/me-myself-i...rey-lol-TKLjF9

Getting 13 more Christmas cards today. All posted well before Christmas.

ours all came through today too. first post in about 3 weeks.

I hear you brother.....same at my place. They don't concentrate on giving good, role specific training to targeted teams with client contact, they just mail the usual shit to everyone.

They weren't the most difficult to get into. My key fitted other Avengers as I found out when I got into one which was the same colour at Selhurst Park car park but noticed that the steering wheel was different which did confuse me for a minute. :D

:D

The best was my mate's MG Midget. You didn't even need to insert a key. Half pence piece opened up the door a treat and started the car too.

:D

Both a mate and myself had Mark I Escorts in the early 80's. Could open and drive each other's with either key.

I just pressed play on Mrs Browns boys out of some morbid curiosity to see if it was as bad as the few mins to seemed to remember seeing before. What hope is there when people love this show ?

The big bang theory- never get the appeal

I haven't seen much of it, but what is so bad?

People seem easily pleased with comedy these days, I don't think I've watched a recent sitcom or anything like that in years, maybe i'm a grumpy old ****.

IT Crowd, not too bad

Ditto Toast

It’s utter utter shite. It just is.

Yeah, it was my next door neighbour's. Me/my Dad bought it off him in about 1988 - it was 15 years old & it had done 16k miles.:D

I wrote it off in an M6 blow out on the way to Anfield in 1991 but my Dad had it back on the road about a week later. Used to call it 'The Blue Flash' :p

You left out the middle 'utter'.

Once upon a time there was one new joke per episode. Not any more.

It is indeed utter utter UTTER shite. And he's not even a real Irish mammy, the cultural appropriating charlatan. Belongs in the 70s (or earlier) never to be ever shown again dustbin

No it is is utter utter utter utter shite. I can’t honestly explain how shite it is and how unfunny it is. I recon they are either bringing in an audience that is hand picked based around their ability to not be able to tie shoe laces or they are drugging them.

Along similar lines I had a white Mk I Cortina. One day I went to the parts department at Bristol Street Motors in Bromley for some reason.

When I came out I got back in my car, started the engine, and suddenly noticed a cushion on the passenger seat... funny, I think to myself. Took a bit better look around and realized it wasn't my white Ford Cortina. Mine was a couple of cars down the street.

Pretty embarrassing, but I don't think anybody saw me!

The audience are actually CGI-generated and the laughter is canned. Even though it is free, the press gangs were still unable to muster up any interest.

"Wanna free ticket to Mrs Brown's Boys?"
"Nah, I will do my community service picking up rubbish in the pissing rain, thanks"

People who put on their hazards rather than use their indicators when they pull off the road.

and then park on the pavement meaning that people have to walk in the road to get past them. :veryangry

Is utter utter utter utter twentyfourseventhreesixfive utter shite a thing?

I saw him interviewed once. He was explaining that real Irish mammies would never laugh at themselves if the part was played by a woman. I sort of get that, but that is literally the only comic device in the whole sorry shitshow. A 30 second end of the pier sketch at best, stretched out for over 10 years. Desperate. And utterly utterly utter unutterable shite

You mean you never creased up at this: "There was a murder in my flats last night. A man was beaten to death with a frozen fish - they reckon it's Jack the Kipper."

.....so it's not thaaaat bad!!

Do you work for Metro Bank by any chance?
They do that every month. 4 mind numbing irrelevant non role specific learning written by a 4 year old.

Palace fans on Twitter who put a blue heart before a red one

How can a TV series annoy you? Wouldn’t you just, erm, not watch it?

I agree, it does seem to be a little far fetched as to how the universe came into existence

Still Game. Fleabag. Derek. Young Sheldon. new Girl. always Sunny. aytpical. Peep Show. Curb, brooklyn 99. Modern Family. End of the feckin world. Sex Education. Grace and Frankie. The Kominsky Method.

Only one I'd give a tick to would be Grace and Frankie out of that lot.

Last short TV comedy series that made me LOL was Wellington Paranormal... The NZ police spoof thing. Oh Afterlife was really good.


Back on track, Whats bloody annoyed me recently and still is, is the fact they've built a 19 Storey Building up the road from me, right in front of our local Mobile Phone Tower.... hence I have to go outside to make a clear phone call now after years of having a very good signal here.

Hopefully they put the tower on top of the new building.

Costs 350 AUD or more to get a signal booster for the home dammit.

No Detectorists?

Preferred it to most of them. :)

All of them. I think he just googled 'comedy series' and cut and pasted.

Plus Gold has turned into a grumpy old git. Probably hung around with me too much :D

People who post in threads about what annoys them and remind me about things that annoy me......barstewards :wallbash::moo:

Losing a glove especially as it was only its second outing.

I find I never lose gloves when they are attached to my hands. One can only assume you were not waring them at the time young man. Which in turn begs the question why you had them on your person. Sorry to quiz you so thoroughly on the point.

It is fair point you raise and I accept I am the only one to blame.

My story is....

I left my home this morning, it was cold and a sleeting and a snowing, to make the short 10 minute walk to my local Co-Op to get cigs.. I had my gloves on throughout, having bought the cigs (and table water crackers and blueberry muffins) I left the store.

I was about to embark on my 12 minute walk home(it is an uphill return journey) when I saw a taxi sat outside giving me the eye.. 2 mins and home or 12 minutes in the cold accompanied by sleet and snow?

I took the gloves off when the driver arrived at my address to fish out from my pocket the fare.....

I owe you a pint Rich, have just retrieved the sodden glove from the road in almost the exact spot I exited the taxi.

:lux:

.

:D

Blueberry muffins and table water crackers indeed, my dear old thing.

Offer of pint gladly accepted.

:p

A possible solution is to try the old solution of one glove each end of a piece of elastic round the neck and down the sleeves. It worked for me 60 years ago.

:D

We found some of those not long ago that we used to have for the kids. Actually brought a tear to my eye. We’ve kept them for the grandkids :D

God I feel old

Problem solved.
