I’m only on S4 of LoD so can’t read this thread.

Well it was from memory, I still feel smug.

Aluminum was the original trade name. It’s called aluminium over here due to a typo. So it’s not a pronunciation thing, it’s a different word in the States, and the right one at that. So nah hah!

This is the bit I don’t get. I can’t see a single upside to this collective acceptance of cheating. All I can assume it’s everyone just sucking up to ultra-rich, ultra-famous players, the same way everyone laughs at their bosses shite jokes.

We’re a bit soft, aren’t we? Great when everyone is on it but physically and psychologically we lack fight when things aren’t going our way. I was getting annoyed at us taking slow throw ins and a complete car crash of a “clever” corner that took forever to set up (instantly lost possession and Riccy got booked) shortly after their first goal. Not good body language seeing what’s at stake and how important that game was. Doesn’t help with the captain being 60 yards away from where the captain needs to be, throwing fuchs into everyone. I see a lack of leadership on the fie

I just see it as generally they don’t want to be seen, but temporarily they do.

Can top that - my local garage has a Subway in it and a young couple had parked at the pumps, blocking two of them, to get a Subway. No fuel. There were plenty of available parking spaces around the edge of the forecourt. It annoyed me and I also realised I felt a bit like Alan Partridge because of this.

Was that a very complicated euphemism?

Seriously, about fuching time. It’s a travesty we’ve only just got this.

Absolutely hate mowing the lawn, but the benefits make it one of those necessary evils. Good to look at, good to sit on and good for things that roll. Is there not a lawn equivalent of those auto-hoovers that cats sit on?

Get some WD40 in there. (quoted wrong post)

I was at a service station on Friday, coming back from the Peaks. There was a middle aged couple smoking next to their car, which was next to mine. Coincidentally I was clearing some rubbish out of my car and sticking it in one of the many, empty, large bins that were dotted around the car park. When they drove off there was a pile of rubbish where their car had been - about 10 empty fag packets, loads of empty energy drinks cans, plastic bags etc. Utter scumbag behaviour, and I have to think there’s more to it than sheer laziness. They probably thought they were “sticking it to the man” or

We do.

I kicked off obviously but to no avail. The whole thing smacks of rip off; there’s this company that nobody asked for, that takes money off everyone on the estate for reasons unknown and appears to have you over a barrel even though there is no visible upside whatsoever. Just a passive money sink. They claimed that part of the fee was to cover costs in case the buyers solicitors had an queries. I asked “do I get a partial refund if there are no queries?” but of course this question was not answered. I insisted on a receiving a copy of the “pack” in case the sale falls

My house is on an estate “ran” buy such a company. We had to pay £ 300 to them when we bought the house, and then around £ 300pa. We’re now selling, and the buyers solicitors requested the “standard management pack” in case it raised any queries. We had to pay £ 354 for the management company to send pdfs to the solicitors - pdfs that already existed and were not particular to our property. £ 354.
