ShakehandsTom - DFC

Would've been £38.00. Before any moany person comes on and states it's not a fortune, I have the intelligence to realise this but it would have been a tidy return for a quid.

Not winning football coupons. Having been crap at them ever since I started, I've become pretty much accustomed to not winning on accumulators, but the manner of the one last night was terrible. For £1.00 (a sensible stake given my track record with accumulators ) on three draws: Werder Bremen vs Barcelona = 1-1 Spartak Moscow vs Sporting Lisbon = 1-1 Liverpool vs Galatasaray = 3-2. It would have been better if they'd been 3-0 up with 2 minutes left, you know it's over. But for it to be 3-2 and for Galatasaray to throw everyhing but the kitchen sink (apparently ) and not score is just aaaaaarrrrrrgghhhh!!! :bairn Rant over.

Andy Gray's commentating (or mainly just his pronunciations of names) Can his producers, who must surely have more than six brain cells between them not tell him how to pronouce the Liverpool Forward - Dirk Kuijt It's not 'Koot'* Andy, it's pronounced, in the main by other pundits/commentators, and himself as 'kite'* *Spelled phoenetically. (sp) Get it right!

I think if there's something that you really feel strongly about, then most people on here do rant, yes. I don't really think I do (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm pretty relaxed about most stuff.

Do you feel better now that you've aired your thoughts?

There's a debate waiting to be started there by someone, surely?

Some people's responses to winning prizes on gameshows. Fair does, if you've just won ' Who Wants' To Be A Millionaire' or something of that ilk, then pretty much any response can be merited, but.... why do people, when on small prize gameshows (there's one on itv i think, but i don't know it's name ) after winning, say, £3000 say 'Oh my God, I don't believe it'? Why do you not believe it?!?! You've just phoned up and given the answer you thought it was and you knew what the prize was before you phoned in! Believe it. You've just phoned in with an answer, so you obviously DO think it's the right answer! Rant Over.

In shops when you go up to the sales assistant and say something like 'have you got this in a size 'x'?' and they say: 'is there not one out there?' Do they really think I'd take the trouble of asking them if there was one already bloody out there.
