Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

The "I absolutely love tennis" brigade that appear at this time every year and probably think that Flushing Meadows is something to do with the sanitation business.

I feel like I've spent a month already saying "tennis is pish" to folk when they ask my thoughts in Wimbledon. I don't think tennis is pish I just don't watch it and can't be fucked having some ill informed half conversation about it know they'll have forgotten tennis even exists in 3 weeks time.

I'm feeling jealous of Aberdeen's recruitment. I shouldn't as we're not in the same market for players and we've recruited well, but I keep flashing back to the years they continually finished bottom six and the various pastings we've given them and getting a pang of the green eyed monster that they can pay transfer fees, generate transfer fees from sales and sign high calibre players.

Yesterday, one of my colleagues sent me an instant message to let me know that Andy Murray had been beaten. When I asked why, her response was "Oh, I assumed you'd be a fan."

First of all...why would you assume that? I'm Scottish, he's Scottish therefore we have some kind of bond?
Second of all...if you thought I was a fan, why would you tell me result? Either I would already know, in which case what was the point? Or I wouldn't yet know, and was planning to watch later, in which case you would've spoiled it for me.

I'm trying to see a positive in her behaviour but the only thing I'm coming up with is that she thought I'd be upset and wanted to gloat. Bizarre.

He was beaten by a Yank so gloating was probably involved.

She wanted to initiate conversation with a view to letting you pump her. You've blown it.

Those Magic Eye/3D Puzzle things. I still can't do them.

I could never see the things people claimed to be able to see in those things, I'm convinced it was all just a ruse and people were never able to see anything in them but just didn't want to be left out.
