peasy23 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 The One Show was on in the background earlier, and there was a feature about Italia 90. It finished with a montage of various players, it annoys me far more than it probably should that the clip of Marco van Basten they used was after he had scored his remarkable volley in the final of Euro 88, rather than being from 1990. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also sweet shops doing 'lockdown boxes' for £10 with about £3 worth of sweets in them. I guess it's gullible folk that is my PTTGOMN. I'm going to start a campaign against gullibility but I need funds to start it. Please PM me your bank details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading something recently about someone complaining about people's attitudes online and the amount of trolling, I theorised that people are probably just glad to be able to react the way they would love to IRL but the majority of folk are too civilised and polite to say it like it is face to face. It would make for a better world if people were brutally honest with each other IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has a couple of South African clients who she initially thought were rude as f**k but now she's got to know them and understands how they interact with people, she quite likes their no bullshit style and has grown to like them. My accountant is South African but it's strictly business so no idea what she's like. The fact that I struggle to understand WTF she's saying doesn't help, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't suit us because we need to navigate a hilly landscape and we need twists and turns in our language as a result. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
