Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I sincerely hope your trip is fruitful. One can't simply make their offspring bold promises of tartiflette then fail to deliver. Dashed hopes of some decent Reblochon could scar those young 'uns irreparably. They obviously know their Laughing Cow from their Babybel, and fobbing them off with a shitty Port Salut or such just won't wash. Wishing you the very best of luck in your quest.

Thanks man.

A long held gripe is commentators employed to ply their "craft" in English football being utterly unable to describe a player with a monosyllabic surname without prefacing it with their first name.

The fuckwit who was employed to do the Wolves/Brighton game said "Solly March" about half a dozen times.

With a silent "r" no doubt. 

I also don't get why they can't pronounce fairly simple surnames. Moore for example becomes "Mow".

It's very rare that I watch any English football, so when I do there have been a few times I've assumed the person has a double-barrelled surname.

Idiots in shops. Behind someone in the shop yesterday. For his purchase he requested a bag. And his purchase was a multiple bag of crisps.

So he has 6 individually wrapped bag of crisps, which have been conveniently wrapped together in a larger sealed bag, and he wanted a bag to carry that. Only when advised they only had bags for life at a pound, which was as much as the crisps did he decide he had the ability to carry the shopping without further bag, and walked away muttering.

To be fair, if he had other shopping etc to do I don't blame him for wanting to put his crisps in a bag.

Scottish people, living in Scotland, who support an English team.

Meh. Doesn't really bother me. I don't think you can really "support" a side from that distance but you can certainly be a fan. I visited family in Guisborough when I was younger, one of whom supported Middlesbrough and I can always mind passing the stadium on those holidays. Combine that with me having memories watching them on the tele and thinking how shite they were (therefore rooting for them) it meant I always looked for their results growing up. As I got older I travelled down to games when I could and continue to watch them on tele when I can.

If Queens went bust I don't think I'd find the same bond with another side in Scotland and would likely just take in local lower league games. I'd likely start travelling to every Boro game I could once my kids fly the nest.

I do agree with you in regards to folk clinging on to the big sides down the road. It's not much but I can trace why I like Boro which is far more than the usual "Cuz they win" when you ask someone why they "support" Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea et al.

The "nextdoor" app. Long since deleted and I have no idea why I ever downloaded it, but still bombards me witg emails despite unsubscribing each time.

Every email seems to contain a preview of some shitpost where some local w**k is telling other local wanks to BE AWEAR!!!!!!
