Only good for sending the convicts out there. Boris might re-introduce that. Boris might not get an entry visa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is that not just because she's the British one and so the more interesting bit if the story vs some rando Jamaican getting gold?Also how come athletics has become so double barrelled of late?I don't mind them leading with Asher-Smith, but I object to "wins the women's 100m silver medal".It's just weird. I had just watched the race and then had to do a double take when I looked on the website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who gives the slightest of fucks about international athletics will have heard of her.Women's athletics is double-barreled heavy as they want to take their husband's name upon marriage but also want to keep theirs for branding purposes. They don't want to go from Mixu Fixit to Mixu Shankland overnight and have people think its two different folk, they'll change it to Mixu Fixit-Shankland instead and keep the sponsors happy. Plus gender equality and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 A couple of seasons back, Dunfermline "goalkeeper" finished one season as Davie Hutton and started the next as David Sinclair-Hutton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Ultimate football example is surely Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, though in his case the double barrel dates from the 17th century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The way that when I'm on P&B on my phone and just as I press on a thread the page readjusts causing the page to move just enough so I end up getting the posters page, not the thread. I'm not checking or stalking just fairly crap with this phone. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) I ripped my remaining pair of jeans last week, and had to wear cream joggers to work until the weekend, so can confirm that throbber most likely does look like a sexual predator. Edit: I managed to avoid pissing myself, though. I'm not a total deviant. Edited September 30, 2019 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been interested in looking at someone's profile yet have found myself on loads of poster's pages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The knack I have of catching some piece of whatever items of clothing I’m wearing on door-handles or such like. If I tried to do it on purpose , I’d probably never manage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
