Ridiculously tight hamstrings.

Dear Maz

Another signed copy of Woody and Nord?

Where does one purchase such an item?

Dear Maidstoned Eagle

If that book had sentimental value you must be "Spitting feathers".I once lent a "Signed copy" book to a friend and when asked for it back he said he had misplaced it and could not locate it anywhere.This chappie said that in the process of moving house it will in his words "Turn up".Never did and he blamed his good lady wife who must have "Thrown it out when she was having a clearout". Ruddy fuming I was and in a rage.He offered to replace it but it was signed for goodness sake.:wallbash::wallbash: Another friend lost.:veryangry:veryangry

Now have to make another visit to "East Surrey Hospital". "Dont get old".

(I will sign it for you).

Then it is not a replacement, is it.

You didn't say by whom it was signed

Seem to remember discussion on here about "12 noon".

That will have been me :p

'Noon' is quite sufficient, thank you :p

Ditto "12 midday".

I didn't think I would need to.

I thought it would have been obvious.

Oh my days, yes!

Was it the book of the dead?

Opening Weetabx.

Closing Shreddies.

opening cream crackers and breaking the first few....

"Annoy" is an understatement.

My son's Under 15s have just won the league (not annoyed by that, obviously!) and start Finals on Saturday. We train on Thursday evenings, so this week's session is even more important, except we've just been told that no club is allowed to participate in ANY football related activity after 6.00pm on Thursday, because it would clash with Australia playing in the Women's World Cup. As a result clubs are not allowed to turn on floodlights.

How f*cking ridiculous. I'm looking forward to the WWC, and supporting England, but now I just think the sooner Aus get knocked out the better; that way the once in a blue moon know nothings who suddenly become experts when a WC is on can crawl back under their rocks, and we won't have to put up with this sort of spoon-feeding shite.

I've asked our Club President if they'll ban everyone from running next time the Olympics are on. :veryangry

That's ridiculous.

Go down to Gymea oval that will be open.

This is so ridiculous I actually agree with Maidstoned.

Please don't make a habit of it.

Agreed "High 12 Noon" doesn't quite have the same ring about it.

I expect he agrees with that, too.

phew.

Mishcon de Reya ad on You tube

Just f*ck off

They do great work for he LGBTQ community and Black Justice.

But for me they will always be tainted by their work against Daphne Caruana Galizia.

It does if you are Gary Cooper. :supergrin:

Carl the Wombat annoys me a bit more than it should do.

The amount of one way roads in Central London that have cycle lanes that are one way in the opposite direction. Awful for those crossing the road checking traffic from one direction then almost getting twatted by a bike because you're mind isn't fixed on looking the other way.

Darwinian, though.

My first (and probably only) holiday of the year, and I’ve both fallen out with the Mrs, and have developed an awful toothache.

Pack the mrs off to the pool and then crack one out, it's good for morale :p

Tea in cafes where they pour too much feckin milk in the cup. I wanna cup of tea not some bladdy milky slop…

:lux:

Same with iced coffees.

I made the mistake of going to a Starbucks today.
Worst coffee I’ve had and the price. I can’t understand why people continue to go there.

I’m guessing you ordered a normal coffee. Starbucks’ niche is pseudo milkshake frappucino things with 30 grams of sugar.

Horrible:jerkit:

My missus' nephew has worked for them for years, business end not shops, and won't touch it.

No , me neither, completely shite coffee.

There was a study earlier this year that showed Costa Coffee contained 5x the caffeine content of Starbucks, so hardly surprising it tastes like brown paper.

No doubt it's his stereotypical casting as a brash, loudmouthed Ozzie that endears him so much to people.

Cheer up Joe. One of those can be removed from your life for a small fee.

Already tried; apparently it’s illegal.

Yeah I just went with an americano.
I didn’t even finish it.
The mrs had a caramel fancy thing which tasted like pure sugar.

Australian pronunciation of Labuschagne

Self checkouts that keep shouting at you. STFU you pile of electronic wank put together by idiots.

Those at Lidl are particularly bad at annoying me for not being quick enough.

Who knows he's a Saffer. The ones Aussies loved to remind England about. Somehow does not seem to happen as much these days.

I think people must think because it is Yank it's trendy. I was in Melbourne last week , where I kid you not it is impossibel to get a bad cup of there, but people were still drinking the swill you get in Starbucks.

Tourists mostly, the locals steer clear.

AFAIK they only have Starbucks in the CBD, the ones in the Suburbs all closed down.

Spain has great coffee in almost any bar or restaurant and yet, when I drove the transfer buses to the airport for holidaymakers and golfers, Brits would still exclaim "at laat, a decent cup of coffee!" when they saw the Starbucks at Malaga airport. Divs.

A decent cafe gives you hot water, a tea bag and the milk separate, never been to one that doesn't.

Pandas nephew works for a cutlery drawer?

Quoted wrong ting innit.

Meant to be about Starbucks

One of the things I am jealous about Spain. How is it that anywhere you go this is true ? What do they do that’s different?

Did seem harsh on his cutlery draw

Buying 2 Human League tickets through Ticketmaster on Friday morning for the gig in Melbourne next March.

Pissed off #1: Get all the way through the process, enter the credit card stuff, "Sorry, there has been an error - it's our fault not yours - please try again". :wallbash:

Pissed off #2: repeat the process at least half a dozen more times, until finally it goes through, and I get the confirmation email. By this time I've been shunted back from row D to row N. :wallbash: :wallbash:

Pissed off #3: I then get an email saying one of the earlier failures was successful, so I now have 2 tickets I don't want. Not cheap at A$300 for the 2. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

Pissed off #4: I see today that Ticketmaster emailed me at 6am Saturday to say they'd noticed a duplicated order, if it was an error I should follow this process. But this email went to my Junk, so I didn't see it until Sunday afternoon. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

Pissed off #5: Followed the instructions to get the refund as soon as I saw it, only to receive another email from Ticketmaster to say my refund request was rejected, because apparently I had to act on their "get a refund" email within 24 hours, which I hadn't done because it went to Junk. :wallbash: :vader:

I know that hating Ticketmaster is pretty much an expected thing anyway, but f*ck me, they are proper bastards to deal with. So I now have to try and shift 2 tickets, thanks to their own system's incompetence. Will be interesting to see if their "Re-sell" thing works.

Don't,....don't you want them...?

When I went to Spain the other month there were barley any restaurants or cafes open. They’d all closed.

Cutlery draws annoy the shit out of me.
I have one with odds and sods in and always gets stuck.

You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need them...!

That's a-maize-ing!

Corbyn fans: https://twitter.com/gremlin31/status...48882147950593

(For balance, Johnson fans as well.)

They use a different roasting process for the coffee beans in Spain, known as Torrefacto..


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrefacto

Surely it is now no longer a cutlery drawer, it’s now an odds and sods drawer.

:)

Chuck it all for this! 2 billion+ people can't be wrong.

Driving standards abroad. Absolutely piss poor

Chopsticks.

Dunno, but its strange that any of the Brit bars, with the same coffee, same machines etc can't reproduce the same results.

Hop it.

Idiots at golf who shout in the hole. Usually Americans.

Northern weather. Making mid July look like February

They’re just looking for Michael Jordan.

Or Jordan.

SE25 is probably far worse. Local rules apply.

Moaning about twitter from people who spend hours a day on there is getting tedious. If you don't like it log off and you can't respond with that poorly drawn, "Yet you participate in society! Curious! I am very intelligent!" comic as there are about ten free twitter alternatives now.

Particularly annoying are those idiots who persistently tailgate you, and try overtaking you because you are going 22mph in a 20mph zone. I've noticed they're usually quite short, either that or their seat has sunk.

Modern football and it's new god money

I've felt like that since Palace went into administration. I actually hope this Saudi League takes off and English football takes a new direction.

It's going to be interesting when the Saudi's start making problems for their high priced stars when they want to go to tournaments and international games during the season.

Also waiting for them to start begging to be allowed into the Champions League games when the mercenaries start to realise they're just over paid circus acts playing in a nonsense league.

Surely you're not insinuating that FIFA may allow them into European competitions:p

Was talked about on Talksport a couple of weeks ago.

Small donation to FIFA and all sorted.:supergrin:

What would happen if a KSA team was picked to play an Israeli club, or would UEFA magically ensure this could never happen?

Over a decade ago I tried a Starbucks, never been back or ever likely to but as hard as it is to believe there are even worse places in London.

Do FIFA have any say over champions league?

The pavement sprinter who slammed into me just now, spilling my coffee all down my shorts.
It's a pavement, not a f*cking running track. Inconsiderate c*nt.

Money v Ambition. We are about to find out what makes the 'top' players really motivated.

FIFA have nowt to do with Champions League

I am sure UEFA will be just as happy with a donation

Not directly but I'm sure the Asian Federation would appeal to FIFA if one of its members started playing in UEFA tournaments.

Off-topic but most of Kazakhstan and Russia are in Asia but are in UEFA. I guess most of their population are in the European bits? Obviously Israel is in UEFA because of Iran and Golf Boy &c.

The whole Saudi situation does confirm one thing though and that is professional footballers have no principles - like we didn't know that anyway!

At least we won't have to listen to players and ex-players pontificating about equality as when it comes down to it it's all about the cash.

Try wearing your rainbow captain's armband in SA Jordan Henderson :(

Israel was originally in the Asia federation but was expelled in the 70s (before the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran) following a resolution by Kuwait and supported, among others, by The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I have no information on Golf Boy’s involvement. Israel were in limbo for a while before associating with UEFA.

Where is the border between Europe and Asia? I'm not really sure why (in geographical, rather than political/cultural/historical, terms) they are different continents.

Risk

173,423rd post, and finally you get one right! ;)

think its the ural mountains

https://compote.slate.com/images/426...Cy0&width=1280

I think you are right.

According to NASA, Ural Mountains is the border. Istanbul has a bridge (Bosphorous, I can't spell) which says boundary between Asia and Europe. As that city is in both continents.

Ta.

Tbh one may as well say that Africa/Eurasia is one continent as well as the world’s biggest island but yes the Urals and the Bosphorus separate Europe from Foreign.
