What grinds my gears??

female groom and male bride emojis now being introduced,

and a transgender santa🤦‍♂️
now to make clear and you’ll make your own assumptions I am not homophobic(it’s ridiculous that I even have to justify myself)

[Pliskin]

Vegan types who have to tell you, and document it on everything... I even saw it in a personal statement on a CV, the first point they made was they were a Vegan.... Why? Is it some kind of moral high ground because you chew leaves? In the words of the great lyricist Road Dogg Jesse James “I’ve got two words for you, suck it”......

[UniFox21]

Fans of historically big clubs who think they're still some big heavy weight due to winning stuff in the 70/80's. 

 

Great that their team won something, but at around 40 years ago, it's fairly irrelevant now.

They absolutely love it, I always laugh at the ones who put it in the Facebook bio.

Agreed. I wonder when the belief wears off? Burnley and Ipswich fans will accept they are not 'heavyweight' clubs although both have won Div 1 titles in early 60's. 

 

(As a trivia aside, I think Notts County is the only club who have had a to 3 finish in top tier to be no longer in the Football League top 4 divisions.)

I know it's funny she got given a fake award but this is just fvcking disgusting. 

Yes it's easy to say don't give her the time of day but how can this just be ignored?!

I really don’t get it? It gets right on my wick! It’s not a ****ing vocation..... I don’t put on my CV that I’m a football manager because I once took Woking to the champions league final......

Do league titles in the 50s count?

Baddies becoming crap shots when shooting at the good guy.

[ozleicester]

people who use "Its grinds my gears" to excuse racism and homphobia etc 

[mabrah]

Puny, good looking teenagers with 'super powers' (that don't kick in when opening doors etc) that can kick the arse of hulking great bad guys... even when their super power is unrelated (e.g. can run fast, or see through walls, or whatever)

 

Come one, get real, the baddy would crush their skulls in the blink of an eye I blame Buffy, she started it.

 

Also, when the bad guy does capture and tie up said fit teen, how come they don't feel them up? Or am I sterotyping baddies and they're not all sick pervs too?

 

(Just to be clear, I know it's a program, not real and that suspension of believe is part of that fiction - this is joke thread right?)

I find it funny that baddies always tie up people. They have guns in their pockets and yet don't just put a bullet in their face .

 

What Grinds my gears? The fact that soaps have no swearing. EastEnders, Corro, Emmerdale etc have all these crazy storylines and yet not a single swear word is said.

 

What's that, you've just caught your partner cheating on you with your bro and dad at the same time. First reaction? 'Oh, you are a terrible person' (Thats not a current storyline as far as im aware )

Did you never get to watch the great Hollyoaks Later? Bit of swearing in that I recall. What an incredible show.

Bastard isn't enough though. Sometimes you need a string of expletives with some of the story lines

This, plus 2 characters in a standoff pointing guns at each other. Surely it's the first one to pull the trigger wins. So while they are chatting,  just shoot him mid sentence.

 

 

 

[mabrah]

Yep, gets me too when baddie doesn't just shoot goodie. Or they come up with some convoluted means of killing them which goodie inevitably escapes from. There's a double figure body count all around and for some reason (the next episode probably) they decide to take time over the good guy. Fekk me, just get it done, put a bullet through their head!

Lads, you're free to *not* use the silly little cartoon pictures people sometimes use when texting, or to use different ones. Hope that's clear...

In that particular scene, they didn’t actually want to kill each other. Just a stressful situation and an argument that got out of hand. Like squaring up to your mate but with guns. 
 

For a good “shooting mid sentence” scene watch the Miami Vice movie.

...but then we can't further marginalise a marginalised minority, and how can we have fun then?

Thankfully a lot of those classic tropes where evil appears to have blind spots are being subverted in a lot of modern works.

OK. Snowflakes are gender neutral, so I'll just call you that.

Pointless thread creation in the forum.

 

A thread titled "Ndidi" cropped up...to ask what his injury was.

 

Could have been asked in the post match thread...or the various Ndidi threads we already have on the forum, which could be found with a quick search.
