That radio ad which suggests that if you buy your dead dinosaur juice from Shell (Shell, ffs!) you'll actually be helping to save the planet.
No doubt they're planting the odd tree here and there, but they're hardly on a par with wee Greta.

Even Greta's farts can't power a Tesla.

A fan from each club present, and shaking hands with their opponents fan as the FA Cup draw is made.

WTAF

English fitba has hit peak tinpottery. Big teams playing weakened teams and devaluing the cup, fans celebrating using fuckin selfie sticks, “scenes” that are nothing of the kind, Jason Cummings being hailed some kind of hero.

The next round is midweek.

What a diddy tournament

Believe they are binning replays too. I mean they are actively choosing to make it tin pot, so I suppose not too much more to say about it. The FA cup did used to be a very enjoyable tournament though.

Was wandering through Central retail park on Saturday morning and the number of trolleys left next to a car even though the trolley park was within spitting distance was unreal.

Falkirk Tesco shoppers are a bunch of lazy cocks.

I also seen 2 cars in 2mins go the wrong way down or up the parking lanes.

Retail parks are a hotbed of rage inducing bellends who need to act like adults.

Reminded me of the champions league final between man u and Bayern, I was on a back shift and asked my mum to record it. I got home after 10 and shouted up to see if the game had finished, she told me ye, it's all over so I went up to get the tape, when I walked in the living room Man U were on the tv running round the stadium with the cup.

I still watched it but even with 90mins on the clock and Bayern 1-0 up I knew United were gonna win it without extra time, kinda lost a bit of its magic.

 

There was nothing fucking "magic" about that travesty.

Being able to do pretty much everything online regarding (in this case) car insurance. 
Apart from cancel the (far too expensive) auto renewal. Oh no, I have to contact them for that. Kuntz :angry:   

In a similar vein, my renewal letter for the AA (the car one, not the ten steps "what we say here, what we hear here, stays here, hear, hear" one) said to renew go to a certain part of the website... which then gave you a phone number to call (the same one that was in the letter). If I wanted to interact with other humans I'd have phoned already, not had to fanny about trying to remember my username and password just to get the same information FFS.

Only tangentially related but if I don't get this vented my head is going to pop off and fly round the room like one of those novelty fucking balloons. 

Scottish. Fucking. Power. 

Mum's fixed tariff ended before crimbo, so she wanted me to renew it for her. Phoned them up and got some bored sounding twat who said words to the effect of 'nah mate, just go on to the standard tariff, it' s cheaper'. One fuckwit point to me, obvs. 

So she's nagging me again to do it. I've got all her online account details so log on, click change tariff, and.... click, whirr, go f**k yourself Mr Roaster: you can only do that via webchat. And webchat isnae working. 8 b*****ding days I've been trying and same shit every day. 

So after work gets on the phone. Interminable fucking wait, punctuated by some insufferably smug c**t saying I could possibly do what I needed on their recently revamped website (hint: see above) the drone at the other end says she can put the old dear on another fixed tariff and... her direct debit will go from 66 quid a month to 154. Because there have been 5 price rises since last year, apparently. 

Fuming. OK, where's the complaints page? Hey, complain via webchat! Guess fucking what? So here's a different number which, you guessed it, gets routed to the same place as the original call. 

So fucked, fucked, and fucked again. She's going to have to shell out 300 quid extra ('because the bills are quarterly') for electricity she would struggle to use even if she put all the heating on full blast , then we can claim it all back and reset the DD on their fucking brilliant website. Heaven help you if you're struggling to heat your home on benefits or the old age pension. 

And before anyone asks, leccy only, old storage heaters, SP's tariff is the equivalent of Hydro's Total Heating Total Control so stuck with it or move to SSE, who don't have a fancy website, and despite plastering my bill with ads for a smart meter, are 'currently unable to fit one' on my flat. So Beazer Homes League c***s. 

EDIT: apologies if you work for either company. I'm reasonably proud of the fact that, surrounded by enough red mist to make Dracula jealous, a little voice said 'don' t shout at her, she's just doing her job and probs getting paid minimum wage to have arse holes like me shouting the odds at her'.

Not particularly a Falkirk problem.

ALL retail park and supermarket car parks are stress inducing jungles.

I never said it was exclusive to Falkirk.

Having had an altercation last year with a fanny driving a penis extension in Livingston, I figured major car parks are just packed with knobheads

Those haircuts blokes get where they shave between the ears almost bald but leave the hair on top fully grown out, I dont get it.

Neither do I. Probably because I've hardly any hair on the top of my head...

I'm also electric only and storage heaters, searched for the best deal before Christmas and Bulb were by far the cheapest. Use that link to get £50 for switching to them too.
