Daggers

There’s no chance of that, most of them are still in 1979.

1. Yesterday, they cut me off after 90 minutes of going round in circles. I was being really polite but she insisted on asking me a question that would be impossible to answer unless you worked at the HMRC and had access to their system. It's never been detailed in a letter or email - and I've gone through the lot. 2. "Sorry, you've failed the security questions", said woman this morning - I hadn't. I was less polite when she said she couldn't tell me what I'd failed on or give me the exact phrasing of the last question. She said I'd have to phone up again and listen carefully to the questions and note them down. Insane. My short term memory spits a fuse when I'm getting anxious, I was very anxious. 3. Finally got through to a lad on another line; same questions, same answers, and this time I passed security. Completely nonsensical. The system is so unfriendly to amateurs like me who don't pay for accountants. I think next year I'm hiring an accountant.

I can't believe how difficult it is to change the phone number associated with my HMRC account. Two days of being on hold and speaking to complete morons now. I hate HMRC more than anything. I can see why people avoid bothering with tax altogether.

A draw, loads of injuries and red cards - happy ****ing Christmas.

I’ve no words. Wow.

Truth bomb

As opposed to them trouncing clubs with players they shouldn’t be able to afford with one match a week?

Everyone will be delighted to hear that I didn’t die.

Compare it to our place where we have no pub and the nearest one is too far to walk to, there’s no public transport, you need to book a table and the food is grossly overpriced. I’m pretty jealous of anyone with access to town or city facilities.

So, Jimmy Carr then.

Is obtaining a ticket for BCFC games some kind of West Mids care in the community thing? Who goes to a match and spends it watching the away end? Definitely a candidate for a hard drive check.

Show me where I have. Clue: I haven’t. He was shit last season for multiple reasons. The reasons became apparent and understandable. He adjusted quickly to the new system. He proved himself integral to the new system. I’ve given him nothing but praise for that.

Most people have an issue with him because they don’t understand the football we play despite it being slowly pointed out to them. They yearn for traditional roles and wing-based counter attacks. If people haven’t begun to switch their perspective by now then there’s no point discussing stuff further with them - they’ll never get it.

I’m not not convinced, I just think signing someone who is more adept at being clinical would wrap up the season. But I also don’t believe it’s that critical if we’re creating goals throughout the team. TLDR: sign 2-3 more slices of quality, send Casadei home.

Our surgery got taken over by a trust. Everything has gone to shit. We had wonderful docs, appointments, no issues with prescriptions - now it’s a fight for everything. This is all down to people profiteering from the practice. This has to stop.

The expectation on families to deliver some kind of Hollywood Xmas to their families is ridiculous. People go into debt just for one day of consumerist bollocks. I’m not miserable. I’ll be delivering a snatch of joy for people who’d not otherwise getting it and having a lovely evening with my kids. If that makes me a miserable sod, bring it the **** on.

I agree - but @Master Fox knows no bounds. He’s a freak.

@Dr The Singh is still going from 2009 and is yet to pull.

Like my wife, I only masturbate to men who can spell. Master Fox will happily shed a load to anything - like including photos of roadkill and sexy shots of Thérèse Coffey. But then he’s a depraved man with no redeeming qualities.

People should have to take an exam in civility and manners. Fail and you should only be allowed to book cruises and flights with Ryanair. Ignorant people should never be allowed to fly with brand carriers. I got a severe tutting because I blocked the stairs to help a man who’d clearly had a stroke and was struggling with the steps and his bag. What a bunch of dicks.

<meme placeholder> for @StriderHiryu He may need to wait a week or so.
