But it is the original line-up.... £75 is very steep and I'll also give it a swerve and wait for The Captain to join Slider for a number or two in the lower tier concourse at some point.

A bloke who wants to be a pilot on the BBC but can’t pronounce TH “dis is flight free free free from Fursk at free fousand feet.” How are second language ATC’s supposed to understand that. Amazed he got on the course.

How the accusation of using google defeats an argument. e.g.

Poster A: posts some load of old rubbish ...
Poster B: well yes, apart form fact a), fact b) and fact c).
Poster A: you just googled that.

A mate of mine (palace fan) is a pilot for British Airways. He's got one of those cockney accents that rarely exist anymore and that middle class snobs think is a sign of being fick. When he gets behind the mic to introduce himself to the passengers he's a totally different sounding individual. He'd give Prince Charles a run for his money on who had the most priviledged background. He told me that BA insisted he curb his accent. When he'd fly into NY he'd always take in a Palace match in Manhattan. One morning I was talking to a Palace fan who said he'd flown in the night before and he'd had a bad landing experience and they were kept on the plane for an hour. I put two and two together and asked my mate if he flew in the flight that landed at ten the night before. "Fackin right I did," he said, "it was going to be the best fackin landing I did in years 'til the bleedin tyre burst." The Palace tourist wasn't convinced it was the same fellow who was telling the passengers to remain calm in uppity tones the night before.

I need to add to this thread....

My 2 year old son and wife (who has no co-ordination or common sense), who between them are slowly chipping and damaging everything in our house. Good thing is I’ve given up on Diy - no point with them wrecking everything!��

They marry young in Sussex?

Hahahaha, I’ve just re-read it!😂

I’m not going to edit. It’s funny as it is.

Breakfast DJ adjutants who laugh at things that are just not funny.

In films when 1 bloke gets into a fight with 6 bad guys and all the bad guys politely take turns in trying to beat him up. Just all jump him, thats the point of out numbering him.

Thats been happening for many many years. i.e. Steve Wright.

Is that c*nt still on the radio? :veryangry:eek:

Yep, and being paid about half a million quid a year by the BBC.

Wouldn't know, never listen to the radio now.

Me neither, not after hearing some dreadful cove called something like Pete Carthorse on the wireless.

Do you just carry your guitar everywhere and make your own music?

It goes without saying, but one of the Kardashian bints has expressed "humility" at being able to hire a private island to treat its "inner circle" to its 40th birthday party. The slaves looking after them had to wear masks, though.

Kardashian in acting like a stupid entitled cow shocker.

Green grapes. That's where you're going wrong. ;)

Sorry? I still don't know who or what they are, and why they are famous. Is this another reality TV thing?

Does he get paid half a million quid too? Probs lives in Spain to avoid the tax.

Famous for having and being massive arses I believe.

On the list of people followed about by paparazzi wherever they go so that tabloid readers can know their whereabouts, activities and attire (if any) at whatever moment they feel the need to know this.

Your lofty incognizance amuses us

That is the most helpful thing I have read on the BBS for a very long time.

(Aside from Windsor Eagle on the Coronavirus thread)

A popular group of contemporary entertainment celebrities, M'Lud.

love BBC6 music.

On shit unfunny DJ's laughing at their own unfunny jokes Zoe ******* Ball, absolutely awful, soooo fake and insincere. Does anyway honestly like her?

Surely some sort of PC need more women on the radio in 'top jobs' thing, in which case should've gone with Sarah Cox, miles better.

More highbrow-signalling from the Primrose Hill hippy with very narrow awareness.

Not being familiar with the Kardashians is highbrow?


Blimey, you have a low bar !

I think it’s fairly improbable that anyone with working ears and eyes and the ability to use an internet has never heard of the Kardashians.

I can't believe Zoe Ball is still in a job - she is as unlistenable as Jeremy Vine. Completely agree that Sara Cox should have got the job - she is way better.

Stella, this is the Light Programme that we are discussing.

I refer you to WCB's response. Stella has previous for this in respect of Caroline Flack.

There are many aspect of modern popular culture that I avoid like the plague, but don't feel the need to tell the BBS about.

Sara Cox makes my ear bleed and just talks nonsense (a gazillion times more than other DJs).

I think you're onto something there with the working ears bit. Stella's a big fan of Yes. Maybe his ears don't actually work. :D

Well that comes with being the owner of a lonely heart.

I hum to myself constantly.

You never complained when your constant requests for The Wurzels were answered.

Glad to be of assistance. I've heard their names, and gather one is married to a contemporary music artist, but why are they famous?

Is there a reason I would waste any time seeking them out?
I have heard of them, but never had reason to find out why. Should I? Am I missing out? Probably not, I'd guess.

You just stick with the Quo, Dickie.

Just invite them around for tea. As they are so humble, I am sure they will agree and maybe even bring their own biscuits. Oh the fun you will have.

On the subject of women talking shit on bbc radio, wcb I know will be pleased to note a 'newsbeat' story featuring in the main headlines of the BBC News page (there's a whole other topic).

Lily Allen: 'Women masturbating in a relationship isn't wrong'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-54712504

"It wasn't until I committed to masturbation, self love and ultimately sex toys that I considered my own needs. And I'm in a much healthier place now at the grand old age of 35"

Well done.

BTW the kardashians should bake under a pyre of burning azer rocks, sorry for being antisemitic or whatever.

Lily Allen is a complete W*anker! This is a blatant product placement advertorial, by the BBC, paid for by us, the licence payers - Why do the BBC love this idiot so much!

Typical landlord really

Actually, you often do, so that you can eat together ; unless you are the sort of person to gratify every hunger as you get it, and they are normally people with problems.

[Shudder]

I’m much the same as you on this.

But then Dickie and WCB are well down with the kidz of course.

Indeed. It's polite to wait and good part of being in a relationship.

TV in general. It got really noticeable with excessive quiz shows, then Loose Women and poor news coverage.
Meeja seemingly not holding UK politicians to account. Didn't Covid19 save Priti Patels huge fat @r5e from the workplace bullying probe ? And BJ giving away public funds to that American "business woman" he nobbed when he was Mayor. ?
And Dianne Abbot, that huge liability to any reasonable political opposition to the Tory Government.

Just hugely fed up of a lack of independent Media, to hold people to account.

If it helps, I don’t believe it is mandatory to watch Loose Women.

I am bemused by the Kardishans and similar.

There are many programmes on cable channels of families living in multiple bug houses etc. all due to having their outlandish lives, often quite falsely, transmitted to the world. The gypsy marriage ones and the like where every episode seems to involve the female members getting together for a punch up.

I can vacantly watch them for 15 minute sessions before doing something else. Usually settling the remote on the Las Vegas pawn shop or someone living in a cabin in Alaska.

I wouldn’t recognise a single Kardashian even if they were sitting opposite me.

You protest too much.

Actually, if Kim's arse was opposite you it would be like an eclipse of the sun so you wouldn't be able to see owt.

ExiledStirling is going to kick yo ass.

My wife flicked onto the Kardishans show - E channel, I think. And I think she quite likes to watch it. That is her time with the TV.

You are, and it sickens me to say this, even worse than M~z.

Good to fight in turn than all pile in......

Those apps you now have to use to get your prescriptions. They take longer and are bureaucratic. Typical producer first.

That all the annual rainfall for Devon seems to have fallen in the week we're staying here.

Things that annoy you...

The fact that Tom Cruise plays Jack Reacher... has there ever been a more mis-cast actor for a role based on the book character?

I wonder if the Kardishans would have been such media whores if their daddy hadn't been one of OJ Simpson's trial lawyers back in the day?

They have a show? WTF do they do in it?

I would imagine you could find out for yourself as you are the emperor of Google and Wikipedia.

Perhaps it's on when hes working on the bus?

I love the fact people are spelling it Kardashans.

It helps some people to forget they share a heritage.

In my defence I cut and paste it from a previous poster as I wasn't sure how to spell it!

I should have known better and used Google.

I think he's permanently on the sick.

You wrote "Kardishans".

Without disclosing my source, so did the person I cut and paste it from...

So why did you respond to Exiled's post, you crazy Macaroni?

You did very well. I am very happy. Maz and Forza are the ones who should have known better.

Seemed as good as any... :rolleyes:

Please note I even spelled "defence" the English way with you in mind...

Have I muddled me Mashtots?

The American way is more logical (although you could probably get rid of the final "e"), as is getting rid of the "u" in "colour" and "flavour" &c.

I never thought of you as a Trump supporter.

Might as well go the whole hog..

It's a right old mix up. Some spelling changes adopted others not.

Why does the BBC football latest scores page always go back in time and lose goals when you select ‘Show Scorers’?

I thought that was just me...

I could have sworn they're characters from one of the innumerable Star Trek series. But I don't watch that either...

What on earth are you going on about? Trump cannot spell in either American or English. Idiot SPaG Nazis like Simon Heffer and N.M. Gwynne are fools though.

Martin ‘and it’s DEAD’ Tyler screaming as Jordan Henderson lifts the league trophy ‘the PRIDE OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE’.

Does this work with other winners of trophies?

‘THE PRIDE OF THE COMMUNITY SHIELD’.

‘THE PRIDE OF THE CHECK-A-TRADE CUP’

Stop shouting as well ya ****

That is a constant annoyance. But more fool us for continuing to use it.

"Direct, dangerous and deadly!" That was Martin Tyler, so he can be forgiven (within reason). I'd much rather him than the trying-too-hard "That's a sumptuous finish!" Peter Drury that always says the same thing about every Citeh goal.

I would probably recognise Kim, if she had some sort of real life filter on so she looked like her pictures, and the one that became a woman, but technally thats a Jenner.

Didn't they get their break because their dad or uncle or something was a lawyer on the OJ Simpson case?

I should have read on.

I was thinking about these over the top idiots the other day. We have come a long way since Kenneth Wolstenholme and Brian Moore. Unfortunatley not for the better.

Indeed. "Hit with the outside of the boot - that's the part I like."

I don’t know. But I think the parents were mixing in celebrity circles before the OJ business.

Men who can't kick a football. Carl Froch on Soccer Am just now. I've lost all my respect for him.

I was distraught yesterday when I skewiffed a wild left foot attempted curler through an open gate whilst working at a school, only to miss the target by sodding miles. In my defence it was a wet sponge ball and I was in my steel capped work boots but nonetheless it was a horrific attempt and brought much shame on somebody who played at a decent level for a lot of years. Luckily there were no witnesses to this or the slight limp that followed it.

I don't know why, but this report on our local news site about a power outage last night:

Officials with SCE received reports of the outage shortly after, determining that approximately 4,201 customers had been impacted by the Newhall power outage.

Is it me, or is 4,201 not "approximately" but in fact rather exact?

Silly tart presenter apologising for swearing because Chisora said pissed at 10 past midnight. Jesus christ.

I’ve heard crap and arse on the 6pm BBC News and Radio 4 comedy at 6.30pm. Pissed at this time of night! Not worthy of an apology.

Twats playing shitty oh so funny shared videos at volume 10 on their shitty phones in the pub. **** off

Avoiding the Ireland France score because I recorded it to eventually find out that they showed the 2nd half on a different channel. C*ntitude of the highest order from BBC.

Sultanas in Bombay mix, no need whatsoever

Where are you buying yours from? Never heard of that before.

Think she picked these up from Morrisons or B&M store, dirty bastard things making it all sweet and horrible when you have the misfortune to allow one to slip by the vetting process. Sainsbury's ones are decent apart from the hunt the one split cashew bun fight between me and the missus.

How difficult it is to buy anything on Amazon without joining Prime. Probably just me being of a certain age. Annoying though.
