Do you drink it neat?

What are you, nuts? Meths mixer to take the edge off.

Ah yes, the old Paisley Pizza.

Ilie Nastase,a right piece of work.

Losing your glasses out on the piss in Liverpool. Won't be able to see a thing later. :veryangry

Go into a decent size chemists and buy a pair off the shelf?

Probably won't be a perfect match for your needs, but could be better than nothing and they can be surprisingly cheap.

Friend of mine bought an emergency pair for a similar reason and raved about them. He's now a convert and has several spares (e.g. in car, office, bag) and only buys one 'proper' pair when he has his check-up.

One of his fave pairs cost £1!

One of my childhood idols, but an embarrassment now.

You are Mark Clattenburg and I claim my £5 :D

Brilliant :D

Aren't they just for reading? Mine are for long distance.

Are you expecting hoofball?

I think they might have been initially and reading glasses are more commonly available (e.g. in libraries).

Try a big pharmacy....nothing to lose.

Have a great afternoon and I hope you're not the designated driver back home!

Haven't watched that shite for years (plus the X Factor and pals muck) and thank the jesus for it. Miserable Northern bastards.

:lux:

Very good !

Completely agree.

GPD bedwetters

Tonight.....nothing.

Did you manage to see what was happening?

Nice of Benteke to score one at the Palace end so you could see it!

This self publicising prick

"Supports" Brighton AND Chelsea WTF????

His youtube videos are great, a gift that keeps giving.

Missed first goal getting the beers in. :D Saw the second clearly. Absolute scenes. #ILOSTMYGLASSES

The cost of a tube pass if leaving oyster card/wallet at home, £4.90 as opposed to £2.40. Really cannot see the justification.

He's actually quite a nice lad IRL. :eek:

People who come into the 'quiet room' at work when I'm resting my eyes. First someone wants to know if I'll drive a train for them. No I say, I'm fecked, and when I asked you last year you turned me down. Then someone else comes in for a health and safety check (not of me). Then another bloke who I've already texted to say I'll do a favour for later on gets his mate to burst in and hand me the phone. Grrr.

Working outside in the weather I have had today. Sun, wind, rain (so much rain), sleet, snow and hail stones.

Tv programmes that spend the first 5 minutes of the show previewing what you are about to watch - Just begin the programme ffs!

Equally, tv programmes that spend the first few minutes after an ad break summarizing what the previous section was about. We haven't all got Alzheimers yet FFS!

:D

It's grim up north.

American tipping culture

I see the Scottish summer has arrived early

When you phone a customer helpline only to be greeted by a computer demanding to know why your calling. The ones that give a set of options so you end up drilling through layers of menus are bad enough, but yesterday's wanted me to explain why I was calling and trying to be clever. Just put me through to a person please

Almost an exact copy.of a Chocky rant from a while back. :supergrin:

People who won't believe anything reported in the 'Mainstream Media' as it's all Globalist/NWO/Bilderberg lies, but are happy to take any unsourced, propagandist shit on a meme their mate shared on Facebook, as gospel truth.

Actually this should really be on a split thread called 'Things that worry the crap out of you'.

Away fans hanging over the balcony of the executive boxes, goading supporters in the Whitehorse, while stewards stand there watching them.
So you're not allowed to wear colours, but feel free to antagonise supporters below!

This can help sometimes...key codes etc to speak to a person.

Ta, will give it a try

Aviva have a computer that you have to speak to.I have a pretty bland voice and it couldn't understand a word I said.:D This on top of menu after menu after menu.Infuriating and unnecessary.

Can't you just liven up your voice?;)

People with a bland voice.

:o

Try to channel your inner Brian Blessed next time.

Foxes- just don't like em,would it matter if they became extinct? Presumably,they are part of the food chain.

Quite useful in a post bi-weekly bin collection apocalypse

I know what you mean, and it is a way of life.

I guess I'm used to it.

Steve Bunce

Things that annoy you
 

Martyn Tyler raising his voice saying "AND IT'S LIVE" just before a game, like it's something abnormal to modern day TV.

Agreed,bloody things screaming out side the house every night.Wakes everyone
up and sets the Dobey off.Will let him at em one night:grrr::grrr:

Ashley Barnes - ex Brighton journeyman striker who's now scored in his last two games against us,hate him.

Lumley.

Recycling.

The number of packs that have the following printed the packaging:

Sleeve: Widely recycled.
Tray: Check local recycling
Film: Currently not recycled.

Wtf??? Who is responsible for all this? People need to get their act together. No wonder many people cannot be arsed to recycle

And celebrates in front of the HF. :jerkit: :veryangry

Not much in the way of consolation, but he must've felt like a right **** when he was doing that ridiculous boat rowing celebration, only for the goal to be disallowed. I know I laughed.

Edit - was that him?

Spot on, the mixture of materials is madness.

Bought a sandwich on Friday....cardboard wrapper could be recycled in paper box but the plastic film you look through to see your sandwich could not.

So I peeled the film away and still recycled the card. But how many customers can be bothered to do that, especially if they're eating their sandwich on the move?

There should be far more pressure on the stores to reduce waste in the first place, not just on us end users and the councils to deal with the waste.

For example, I wonder what percentage of the landfill used by Croydon is those thousands of takeaway coffee cups? It sounds like a recyclable one is close to manufacture and there should be pressure on the coffee chains to use it. If not, increase their rates.

Whole heartedly agree.

Rugby fans who repeatedly tell us they are just a bunch of fun loving people. Travelling home on Saturday on the last north bound service from Euston, we saw just how fun they were. Pissed up, vomiting and just being general wankers towards any woman within shouting distance.
Arrived at Stafford and 30 or so spilled out onto the platform in a mass punch up.
If this had been football fans then they would be preaching about how bad and scummy we are, but as they prefer wonky shaped balls it's all just a jolly laugh. Bunch of wankers!

Going to the club shop only to find it closed due to the bank holiday. Then going to the bank, you guessed it.

They should rename the day "Club Shop & Bank Holiday" to avoid this confusion in the future :p

I know. Have consoled myself with the fact that the pub is at least open, and I now know that on-street arguments around the stadium don't only happen on match days.

Indians thrusting menus in your face to block your pavement walk while frantically trying to flog you curries in their filthy roadside restaurants. Same goes for suits, but they have tailors for those. Probably plastic Man U fans too.

So many rugby fans look down their noses at football fans, with a complete lack of self awareness

In my experience, all of them do this, unless they are people who follow both sports.

They also hate it that football gets more coverage. I've watched some rugby but I just don't find it that good to watch...it's stop/go all the time and too often decided by the ref for technical infringements and penalty kicks. I appreciate football matches are sometimes decided by a penalty, but that's a minority.

I guess rugby doesn't flow enough for my taste, but each to their own.

As for behaviour, the drinking and verbals can be terrible. But the advantage they have over football is that it's much rarer for team rivalry to spill into organised battles, in the way 'firms' spoilt football in the past.That's what gets the press, and police, attention.

I think we need a whip round to buy Elgin a calendar.
Surely there's one suitable for the elgin household we could get?
Perhaps one with a photo of a well known and misunderstood world leader ;)

Got one already CT. Ask exiled stirling. He took pictures of it.

Didn't really mind as I had other business there as well. A consultants life is hard you know :)

Rugby is posh boy nonsense

Have you ever tried calling a bunch of Welsh Valley boys posh?:D

No, I'm not that stupid!

I'm more referring to the English rugby Jonno's Welt.

I know... (minor whoosh) :D

Not sure it would, now I could of understood any other Bank Holiday but its EE and May Day and this year on May 1st there is no helping him.

Running lights on mordern cars. I dont want my lights on, i dont live in a country that is dark 23 hours of the day.

I hate rugby fans so much

"but we say yes sir to the ref unlike 'soccer'"

Saturday was the annual army v navy game at Twickenham. It's probably the worst weekend for local residents in terms of unsocial behaviour and not representative of rugby crowds as a whole.

Spainnis, apparently, one of the top countries in Europe for recycling.....and we only seperate glass and pkasrix at the bins

Found myself in a costa for the 1st time in ages and I noticed they claim their cups can be recycled if brought back and they will even take competitors cups. I asked the barista about it and she simply said yeah they could recycle now but didn't know how it all worked.

Anyway back to my anger offload of the day.

Parents and coaches at kids football matches. Its not ******* Wembley. Let the kids play. they don't need to be told to "get up there" or "get in there". You don't need to scream as if Philips had got us promoted when a goal is scored. Think of how the other 6 year olds on the opposing team feel? I'm sure it wasn't as bad as this when my lad first started playing.

complain the local association and the FA. I did and an observer was sent along which resulted in the coach being banned

Tom Daley.

What's the point?

Business cliche's.


Attended the first of a 9 day key account managers course at Lingfield Park Racecourse.


Oh.

My.

*******.

God.

I feel your pain but seriously wtf did you expect ? :supergrin:

He's a right diving bastard he is

Them c*nts who walk into pubs for the first time, usually ones without a non-beer glass in sight, and ask for a mojito or a martini or some other stupid cocktail, without even asking if the place has a cocktail menu.

People who call a shop assistant in a coffee shop a "barista". :D

Only a total div would get annoyed by that....oh:D

On a similar theme, this happened to me last week in Nottingham

Getting stood behind a group of girls and/or students ordering cocktails. Do you know how fkin long it takes to make 7 cocktails.....And then paying for them individually ffs.

I only want a pint you mutants

Childrens birthday parties. I've got to take my lad both Saturday and Sunday, slap bang in the middle of the day. The whole weekend dissected by loitering around for 2/3 hours waiting for them to finish. It's the Sunday lunch/afternoon one that p!sses me off, this is designated for red wine and napping.

You take him, leave him there and the Mrs picks him up.

Jobs a good un

Thats not annoying, just pretentious.

I like the fact that more cars have lights on all the time reduces the number of people driving around in dark or low visibility conditions with no lights on

Just walked out of that course. Might say i was feeling unwell.


Can't take the level of bollocks being banded about.

Must spread rep etc, but fair play to you. You could always say the utter bollocks being spouted made you feel nauseous ...

She's working all weekend :veryangry. There is light at the end of the tunnel though, the Saturday party would mean we'd miss the beginning of the game - I can't see him being happy about that, or the fact that he might have to walk 10 miles home, because I'm not going to miss it :D. Children shmildren.

It was when we were all asked to stand in a circle and throw a ball to each other, then whoever caught the ball had to say what they enjoyed most from that segment.

My spine nearly snapped with rage.


Apparently we should all be "networking" with each other and should also pick a "sparring partner" for the remainder of the course.

****.


Off.

I've also been told i have to go back tomorrow by my manager.

I'll giving a running commentary of buzzwords throughout the day. It maybe the only thing that keeps me sane.

War criminals and their sons

How do you determine the difference between the one that takes the money and the one that makes the coffee then? I think the big clue might be the bloody great BARISTA label on their back vrs the others that doesn't have it.
Or should I be questioning your ability to read? :p

^^^^

Ffs. How bastard annoying is this?

Particularly when self employed and either me or the Mrs. is at work.

You choose the basket only queue at the supermarket cos you want to be quick (and there's a queue for the self-service).

Man in front hands a fist full of store vouchers to the cashier and asks 'are any of these any good?'. She patiently checks them (why didn't he first?), politely says 'sorry no, they're not in date'...and THEN he starts checking through them himself. WTF.

Just cause for an elbow to the back of the head.

Swimming galas have got to be the worst.

Hot, often lacking in wifi and lots of screaming noise...you WILL leave with a headache every time. Sitting for ages because your child's races are always spread out, so you're there for hours for maybe 3 thirty second long races.

They were exciting initially, but as the kids get older the parents get increasingly competitive and I've witnessed some questionable parenting when their kids lose. Never mind football parents, some of the swimming ones really suck the enjoyment out of the sport.

Drownings to good for em.
