Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Football pundits who keep using "he didn't mean it" to excuse bad challenges. They ought to know perfectly well that the rules don't consider intent of a challenge as a factor and anyway, people don't mean to miss penalties or score OG's but they count just the same, why would we make an exception here? Most of the time the players are cheating wanks who know exactly what they were doing anyway.

Worst offenders are Ex-players sticking up for their old team or their mates in the game.

No, they are right. If you didn't mean it, it can't  be a foul. You shouldn't get booked or sent off if you say sorry.

Setting myself up for a storm of abuse here, but...
People who call their kids after themselves. Are they so unimaginative that they can't think of a different name? Or do they feel that the world can't get on without them so producing a Mini-Me will somehow ease the sorrow when they pop their clogs?
Okay, fill your boots...


My youngest son has my 1st name as a middle name, but that was completely the wifes decision, not mine. I wanted it to be a middle name after my grandad, but i lost that battle.

Father's first name as the kid's middle name is fine.  At least you had the imagination to come up with a different name for your son's first one.

If that was the rules would they have to take a test to decide if they really meant it or not? :lol:

I've read the last couple of pages and I'm still not entirely sure what's going on.

Does she lie the cheese flat on it's large side?  Or stand it upright along the longest narrow side and slice down the way?

Because the second example is correct.  The first is the act of a crazy person.

It's crazier than either of them , I gather that she stands it on a narrow side , doesn't matter which , then slices a layer off the large side. I just don't understand how that could result in a slice of uniform thickness , I would also be intrigued to know how she deals with it when the block gets down to its final quarter thickness or so , surely her technique could result in nothing other than a broken shambles .

That would be correct. Stands it on the narrow end and slices down the big face. She says its the perfect size for a slice of bread. She doesnt want to waste her time with rubbish wee rectangles. It take her an age to cut a slice and I've never been around to witness what happens towards the end. I can only assume she throws half the block in the bin

I hadn't even contemplated that someone would do this.  She'll kill him in his sleep.

Its worrying, isn't it. Not sure if she should be allowed to bring up a child. Maybe I should call social services.

She's going to rip your throat out with a cheese knife in the throes or passion one day. Sounds like a keeper.
