What grinds my gears...

That Calgon advert which keeps coming on. Really poorly dubbed which is somewhat of a quirk of theirs but it's on about how this family's washer "smells when the door is open" and how it's generally flopping out some dingy loads for them to hang on their line. So a professional pops up in his overalls to give the old washer a do-over, he's taken the front off and has the drum exposed with a pool of grey, stagnant, gelatinous, rancid, globby mixture at the bottom of it. This washing machine expert then puts his hand into this grey, green sh** and scoops a handful out onto his palm, sniffs it and pulls a face!

Jimmy Bullard and Fenners off soccer am. They're funny in those short bursts you watch, but are generally just bloody annoying.

Soccer AM is absolutely perfect in the short YouTube clips they put out. You Know the Drill, the Pro Am and the fans' volleys are all I watch. I don't think I've watched a full episode for 15 years and don't plan to either. It would just annoy the hell out of me.

Exactly. Those small sections are all exceptional on their own. It's when you sit watching a full hour and they just grate on you. Bullard making a huge deal out of beating an ex pro who likely hasn't kicked a ball in years

Last week with King was the first time I've watched a whole episode in about 10 years. Thought he spoke very well. But then I'm his biggest fan 😂

The 'audience' of producers and camera operators or whoever they are get on my tits as well, actually. Whenever anyone says anything, there's always an 'oooh' or some sort of word or noise shouted out in reaction. It's just a forced atmosphere.

It must be some sort of record for the longest, slowest and most painful tv show death in history.

Funnily enough I was thinking the last time I watched it, who would we replace them with?

Why has the government not included students in the next lockdown. 4 weeks for the whole country to then let the students reinfect their families over Christmas. Great. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

“SPECTACULAR SALES” which 99 times out of a 100 aren’t.

 

And before anyone questions my numbers I’ve completed a thorough survey.

Yeah, I avoid them. Had them once a few years back and it was a mistake. Can't beat a good old zip.

You seen the Hotel Inspector episode on Fawlty Towers and he talks like this. Basil Fawlty "why don't you talk properly"

I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even conpunctuos to have cased you such pericombobulation.

It sounds like you think that folk who use long words are egregiously quisquilious.

[String fellow]

Tbh, I also look upon folk who use unnecessarily long words with a certain amount of floccinaucinihilipilification.

People who judge me for putting chocolate in the fridge. Probably just jealous because I have chocolate, a fridge and a curlywurly that's harder than diamonds. The holy trinity.

Actually, a curlywurly is 'holey' so that was better than I thought.

Franz Carrs and Mars Bars mate. That's my life.

 

ps here's Mark Blake doing what Mark Blake does best, including 4 times for us in 47 matches, before his glamour move to Walsall.

 

Franz Carr with a lovely 'falling over assist' which ties the whole thing up beautifully.

It's an established scientific fact that chocolate is better at room temperature, but then Curly Wurly isn't chocolate, it's just confectionary.

People who use leaf-blowers to blow fallen leaves off their front gardens and into the street. Why don't they just use a broom to sweep up the leaves and then put them in the green bin?
