What grinds my gears...

People who are so fat it becomes incredibly uncomfortable for those sitting next to them on airplanes. 

Had a very awkward 2+ hours on the way back from Ibiza today.

The wobbly sod didn't even apologise once for invading space.

 

PS. I was too polite to say anything to him or his equally plump Mrs.

 

[Personal disclosure: I used to be an 18 1/2 stone fatty myself and I apologise to any 'larger' person - but not the bloke on the plane - who is offended by this post]

I'm going to go further to @UpTheLeagueFox

I've doing doing the school runs as I'm currently sick off walk(Shoulder op).

Luckily we live a distance enough for me and my 11+6 year old to walk.

I have to endure seeing the same fat wobbling mums get out of their equallo big fat 4x4's which they park on the double yellow lines(If they could park straight into the reception I'm sure they would!).

Worse still is that I can already see the mini fatness within the kids. Mini rolly Polly's.

How the feck are we to get the next generation into health and fitness when fat ugly mum in her slippers is the example.

Luckily fat lazy mum is in the minority as alot of parents DO walk the kids to school.

Try it- it's actually nice talking to the kids rather than stressing about how close you can park to the gate!!!!

The continuation of the old news e.g. Geoffrey Boycott receives a Knighthood, Women's domestic abuse charities say it sends the wrong message (Last week). Today an interview is published with his Ex-Partner advising he should give it back? Do we really need to drag this story up again?.

Disagree here, mate. 

Famous people/Celebs need to and should be accountable for their actions. 

 

It gives the image that you can be honoured irrelevant of things you've done in the past. Think if he was a 'normal' person, that type of thing follows you as it should. 

He shouldn't be let off for it, yet he's getting a knighthood? Doesn't sit right for me.

This is encouraging to hear! Could it be that you just went on with the new agent at a better time of year? I mean we're on Zoopla and Rightmove with nice photos at a competitive price, I always assumed that'd be enough to get viewers?

Maybe,but it might be that I took it off for a while and then relisted.

might have shown as a “ new” listing.

Had a feeling before that people might have thought “ what’s wrong with the house as it has been on so long” and then not bothered,as Jon the Hat said market is crap Brexit uncertainty is what I was blaming.

As I said before good luck.

just thought,mine could fall through yet!

I see Nationwide are back with more bloody irritating adverts, this time featuring a painfully unfunny stand-up comedian.

People who support Liverpool arsenal etc but have no ties to them and live nowhere near them. For example I am in the pub in Ashby and it is just full of Liverpool fans yet they are all locals to here. Really annoys me you should always support your local team. Also makes me laugh these glory supporters making this choice yet we went and won the premier league.

I’ve got no ties to Leicester Una ,and supported them for probably nearly 40 years.

Definetely not for glory in those days,so see where you are coming from with trophy hunters.

Saying that obviously the above,Man Utd but we have a lot of Arsenal,Spurs,Norwich and Ipswich 

probably only 5-10 miles more tbf.

There's three reason for supporting a club in my opinion. Local team, family (so parents are from there even if you're not) or something random like pulling them out of a hat.

 

Although one thing, how far does the local thing go? Surely theres a team in Ashby, so why should the locals be Leicester fans? Is Leicester even their nearest league team? The people who support the huge teams when they are from hundreds of miles away annoy me, but a lot of us are a little like that as we support our local league team not local team. I live in Loughborough (not from here) and it's full of Leicester and Forest fans. Why don't they support Loughboroughs local non league team?

[The Bear]

Flashmobs. 

 

Just **** off. If I want to see people singing and dancing I'll watch a musical on TV or go to the theatre. This is a shopping centre, I'm trying to get stuff done. Just piss off and get out of everyone's way. No-one gives a shit and it's not impressive you self centred pricks.

There’s a difference going too local imo. I enjoy a certain standard of football so when choosing a team it would always be the closest at a good level (prem, championship, football league)

Felt idiotic at times,but always stuck by them.Made me more determined to run their noses in it when we won it,considering the shit I got at school for supporting them.

mentioned it before but our cricket team had the most random supporting players.

Bolton,Everton,Leeds,QPR,Sunderland,Ipswich,Norwich,Wolves.There were more buy i think of the big teams we had one Liverpool and a Man City and they were shit then.

Puel Ball, Puel Mark II, Claude Rodgers in the main forum after a bad result/ performance.

 

You couldn't wait for him to go and would probably run him out of town if you saw him near the ground again but still keep mentioning him every time things go wrong.

I mostly agree but you can see why on a superficial level. Tactically, when Rodgers reverts to this sort of pseudo, asymmetrical diamond with two defensive midfielders and Maddison on "the left" it does resemble much of what was bad about Puel. 

 

It isn't good tactically. 

 

It's frustrating because it's exactly the opposite of what made Rodgers revival so successful. He's doing a bit of a Ranieri at the moment, ending one season with a winning formula and then mysteriously insisting on starting the next with new and unnecessary changes. 

 

I like Rodgers and I trust him as a footballing brain, I'm confident he'll come through it and work it out because typically, historically his teams have always arrived to press and win games. 

 

But it's still ugly. 

 

It's what actually grinds my gears. When professional football managers seem completely blind to what literally everyone else is seeing. Our three performances with this "system" this season have been dreadful, uninspired, it's so blatantly obvious that it's a terrible use of space and positioning on the pitch. You don't need to be Pep Guardiola to pick apart why it won't work. 

 

And yet, you can guarantee we're going to do it again against Tottenham because its our new "defensive shape."

One of those empty-headed 'celebrities' who have far more airtime than they should have ever got in their life. Can't stand her either.

I have a twin sister, this might be the first time I've mentioned that on here because it grinds my gears that whenever it comes up people always react like it's the most fascinating thing they've heard all year.

 

Also:  Having to explain to people that no, my twin sister and I are not identical.
