What grinds my gears...

[Carl the Llama]

The absolute twats who watch every single fvcking goal they score in online fifa.   Especially when it's your turn to be at 'fifa-capped' (balls bouncing off your players and sticking to theirs, erratic defensive ai, terrible off the ball movement - we've all experienced it).  I can't be the only one who feels bad when the game's clearly favouring you and skips the highlights?

[ozleicester]

No the opposite. i never bent over backwards to please the boss.

 

Surely the opposite of bending over backwards for the boss... is bending over...forwards?  an even more risky, but potentially beneficial tactic. 

[Rob1742]

Have you ever been to a football match abroad?!?

Did Barca once and it was fine. Full house. Is that normally worse?

True but the inuendo was meant only to be slight.

People who spend forever sitting down on a plane and block up the aisle annoy me a lot.

Its not that hard to throw a bag in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.

Pretty much everything about this story grinds my gears.

People... arrgghhh

Racist to whom? Open to interpretation that is

Well yeah. Such a ridiculously short sighted and knee jerk decision to remove it. Firstly it's an original Banksy so is worth more than the entire GDP of Clacton on Sea and secondly because it's by Banksy it's always going to be satirical, ironic, whatever you want to call it, but the last thing it is would be racist.

 

One misguided idiot complains and they remove it - what about all the rational people that wanted to admire some street art from one of the most famous artists in the world?

Interesting how something satirising these anti-migrant feelings can actually be mistaken for reality. Says a lot about the prevailing mood in Clacton at the moment.

When my wife calls me to call someone else..

 

She literally called me, and asked me to order her lunch for her. I lied and told her I didn't have credit and couldn't call.

 

Seriously, if you can call me... you can call the restaurant yourself!!!

Why would she even do that? You gotta nip that in the bud sharpish!

No idea!! If she had SMS'd or IM'd to say she is busy in a meeting can I call... I'd have understood, but to have called me to ask me to call... weird.

 

She has called me before to say she is going to call me later. And usually it is a very short call anyway when she calls back. I have said, why didn't you just tell me that earlier?!!!

 

Women.

I thought it was an inside joke but they actually think Townsend is a good player.

Did you see the stupid wink he did?

No, if I saw it it'd probably make me wince.

 

 

 

Also Andy Townsend just said "if it's on target that flies in", thanks dickhead.

I've long been frustrated by the use of the zero conditional when the 3rd is needed! Football commentary will lead to the death of conditional sentences and the adverb. "He's hit it great, if it's on target it's a goal" arrrggghhhhhh

[David Guiza]

Any 'insert item' has been banned because it offends Muslims/Islam 'news' stories. Well, more so the people who believe the crap in the first place. For example, there was one this morning about KFC changing their wipes due to the alcoholic substance they contain after getting complaints from Muslim customers. Firstly - who even cares? How is the change in cleansing wipe going to alter their life exactly? Secondly - it was a couple of complaints, Islamic officials have said it's ridiculous; and finally, half the stories aren't even true.

[Rincewind]

Well it gives the opportunity for another Islamic debate thread.

Dog shit, just had to clean up a big pile of messy dog shit right outside my front gate slap bang in the middle of the pavement where loads of primary school kids pass twice each day.

 

Ignorant dog 'lovers' !!!!!

Ahhhh just finished and about to get myself a cuppa and a cake.

The fact the woman at the ticket office couldn't pronounce my surname when I got my Newcastle away tickets.
