Does it make you think of Ainsley? Love the Lube, etc?

west country boy 18-01-2023 02:23 PM

No lube was involved :(

Just maybe Ainsley has a tiny penis, and wcb will barely look away from the BBS has he being loved.

My comeback to you workls both ways. Not just you being the contrarian for the lolz, but also who you werereplying to.

It was the Alf from B strategy when the Maz/Pids tag team called out his pomposity. Pretend the post was just a joke all along.

I know nothing about this pipe you refer to. Stick to giving it to El Aguila and Maz, you are in danger of spinning too many plates.

One thing nobody in the bohemian demi monde has ever said, is that wcb doesn't have a very tight rectum.

Just as Olise's free kick was hitting the bar and coming down my Internet crapped out.

Rushed to get it playing on my phone, and saw the game was 1-1.

Managed to get it re-booted for the last few minutes, but actually didn't see any replays of the goal until after the game.

I had actually just caught the start of Olise's reaction to the goal and assumed it didn't count for some reason.

Technology eh!

It must have been caused by all the Wanker's fans across the world posting their frustrations on the chat sites at one time.

Odd that both yours and mine went out about the same time... but mine was a full on Internet lose.

It seems to me that channels are getting better at coordinating their commercial slots. Whenever I channel surf of late every channel is showing commercials... seems a bad business plan to me.

KYLIE MINEAGLE 19-01-2023 03:03 AM

Do that here .I think they coordinate so that you are not tempted to stay on a show that you flick on to during an add. FTO channels are really suffering here so it is in all of their interests .

It's not hard to co-ordinate the ads between channels, when there are literally only 4-5 minutes of the tv show in between the ad breaks, then 5-6 minutes of ads each time. Commercial tv here is almost unwatchable.

Agreed, plus a longer lie in on saturday morning and then if you're going out in the evening you can go straight out after rather than getting home at 6 and waiting about for a couple of hours whilst the pre-match beers start to make you drowsy/not arsed about heading out for the evening

Exactly. I’m going to watch the Liverpool Chelsea game on tv at home with pizza and a pint, head up to the Clifton for a few pre match beers, then head to Boxpark after our victory for some grub, beers and the boxing. Can’t say fairer this that.

Me too, I also ****ed them off, had problems with streaming, buffering and general crapness. I turned up an hour late for a game once so thought I'd watch from the beginning, great until they suddenly pulled the plug half way through the second half. Typically Spanish, only half works.


Also I didn't like the coms much, the guy said 'orgulloso selhurst park' at least 5 times every game.

Dunno if you've noticed but the Spanish have gone to war with the illegal streams so I'm finding it harder to find.

That “orgulloso Sur de Londres” thing drives me ******* bananas, on a par with them claiming ten times every game that Wilf’s told the club there’s no way he’ll sign a new contract.
However it’s built in to my Movistar contract and it’s very handy to be able to view on the phone when I’m out. Just turn the commentary off.

I had problems with it constantly telling me I was viewing on too many devices, when it was just one, it suddenly stopped running games on my 3 year old tv but showed everything else live, has to view through an android vox which, suddenly a few weeks ago, meant I couldn't enlarge the picture due to their "stats box" occupying half the screen. And the tech support is no existent.

Comms didn't bother me as I muted it and listened to Palace Radio commentary.

The decline since Movistar took Dazn over is incredible.

I wish I could find the Argentinian stream I used to get a few years ago, the 2 coms guys were brilliant, they regularly went completely off piste, usually triggered by Andros Townsend - Pete Townsend - random cheat chat about British musicians.

They were more entertaining than the game half the time. Anyway sorry I digress.

Why cant panellists on Question Time etc respond to questions concisely

Hedgehog 23-01-2023 03:22 AM

I'm not sure why this annoys me, but I do have a reputation to uphold.

I listen to quite a lot of Classic FM from the UK, and whenever they play commercials (which to be fair is not that often) it has some person with a "very" northern or regional accent doing ad.

I appreciate people in the UK outside of London generally getting fed up with ads being done by people with a Southern accent, but why can't they do ads with people that have no discernible accent?

It all just sounds so "forced".

Oh I love it , it kind of keeps my ear in. Like practice for being being able to tell a Yorkshireman from a Lanc etc. Hate it when I get them wrong in person, which can be embarrassing. Used to be excellent at accent picking. I get a real buzz with Warrington origin people as my nieces were brought up there and I'm well versed with that.

No, but they do love big club players, goals and wins. And we do have to put up with that **** who sings a song when there's a goal. But my biggest gripe is their complete dismissal of any attempt at the correct pronunciation of players' names and teams.

I was thinking more that with the amount of incomers both from the UK & furrin, it would be quite difficult to do such a thing these days. Also, when I lived in leafy W4, the difference in "locals'" accents was very marked between yer typical Chiswick braying posho wankers and e.g. those who had lived in Bedford Park since before it became swish in the 70s.

Ahem... it's good to be "sad" if that's your definition :sunglasses:

I'm going to get very, very sad by that definition soon... nothing like a bit of street photography (in foreign climes in a few weeks) to remind me how the masses can't even see the world around them for want of looking up instead of into a screen of AI generated stimuli aimed at developing obsessive behaviours that, at some point, can be harvested and monetized ;)

ps... I'm always listening to 'the music' in accents, and often end up having an interesting conversation with a stranger because of it, even on a London tube sometimes (I must be weird :eek:)

Joe85 24-01-2023 03:13 PM

The difference between driving a regular car and the Wife's i10. The amount of gammons who seem to want to try and bully what they percieve to be a weaker person because they're in a smaller car is astonishing. Equally astonishing, though, is the number who can't look you in the eye when they realise they've started something that's escalated far beyond their intial expectations.

Human males are weird as ****.

Isle of Wight 24-01-2023 03:20 PM

How do they Bully? I think the only time I get frustrated, is with drivers not moving over on the motorway and I dream of having rubber bumpers to nudge them out the way. You always get dicks trying to push in or cut up but it’s not an exclusive male preserve and fortunately they are not that frequent

[QUOTE=Reps AJ;16798791]Use your ******* indicators you stupid, selfish ****[/QUOTE

I've seen so many drivers who don't bother indicating when exiting the roundabout at the chinese garage. I'd say more don't indicate than do.

Plus some the arseholes who reverse out of their drives and block the pavement when i'm out running. The half decent ones will acknowledge me, the others pretend they haven't seen me.

Drive up your arse, aggressive manouvers, flashing lights, gesiticulating.

Until they see the driver, that is, then they dont want to know.

Twats. What do they hope to achieve? You get really bad OAP drivers over here, Honda Jazz being the favoured transport, but behaving like that doesn't get anymore. If anything it makes a nervous driver worse. Yes it frustrating, but what does it cost you. 30 seconds? one car further in front. As I said Twats.

I've seen so many drivers who don't bother indicating when exiting the roundabout at the chinese garage. I'd say more don't indicate than do.

I thought that was a Spanish thing, I’ll have to ditch the racist cuss I do every time it happens to me.

If anything it makes a nervous driver worse. Yes it frustrating, but what does it cost you. 30 seconds? one car further in front. As I said Twats.

Yep, being stuck behind a Honda Jazz gives you time to contemplate your existence, life, and the universe. I think they should do retreats where you just follow behind one on a circuit all day to teach you patience.

Wikipedia's format re-gig. Text squashed by margins for no apparent reason (and it keeps bleeding)

I've never had a fight but this is the closest I get to flinging out some violence, there's a yt video of someone following the offender and giving them their litter back on arrival, this is probably a better idea.

Oh christ don't get me started on Spanish drivers and especially roundabouts. Uk drivers are absolutely amazing in comparison.

I once caused my kids to hide in embarrassment when the car in front in a queue threw out a fag packet. I was already on edge with the traffic and this took me over so jumped out picked it up and gave it back to the driver. To say he was shocked was an understatement. but I was polite and said I think he had absentmindedly dropped it, he just took it back as I think he could see a “Falling down” nutter outside his car. In hindsight I maybe was stupid but I felt a small sense of victory for the civil people.

I'm going to get very, very sad by that definition soon... nothing like a bit of street photography (in foreign climes in a few weeks) to remind me how the masses can't even see the world around them for want of looking up instead of into a screen of AI generated stimuli aimed at developing obsessive behaviours that, at some point, can be harvested and monetized ;)

ps... I'm always listening to 'the music' in accents, and often end up having an interesting conversation with a stranger because of it, even on a London tube sometimes (I must be weird :eek:)

Yup that is my definition:)

I typed out a few stories of me doing similar, but deleted...I agree with you, that sort of anti-social behaviour should be challenged if you're confident of doing so (broken windows theory and all that). My wife always tells me off for it as she thinks there's too much risk of some sort of physical altercation, but I've found that most of the time, people acknowledge they were in the wrong (like you say, absent-mindedness) or are too cowardly to do anything other than stare at the ground and look embarrassed.
