Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Fans who want to be seen to be the first to celebrate a goal, more so ones that do the Y of the YMCA the second the boot makes contact with the ball, probably obscuring the view of whoever's behind.  

Seems to be a worse issue in the EFL.

Everything is always worse in the tourist leagues.  I guess its just part of timing for them,  they can't risk actually celebrating a goal when the players come over,   so they celebrate early allowing time to get the phone out and film  ' limbs' for a 60th minute equalizer in a mid-table end of season clash.    With that done and the video posted online they can relax and get there 'can i get your shirt so to put on ebay' sign out.

I'm sitting down the Ferry and two older women just walked past. The only part of the conversation I heard was "Couldn't believe he married her, she's Jewish and of course, Nick himself is a catholic".

The sooner that generation piss off, the better.

Nick probably voted 'Yes' too.

I'm kind of the opposite. I've never knowingly met someone of Jewish faith. I'm not someone unduly concerned about God-botherers.

Being bigger means they're easier to read and the QR code is a piece of piss to scan and use at the barriers (not that the card ticket is difficult).

They're still unnecessarily big though, they're not recyclable and you can no longer use them as a roach.

My friend had a party in 1999 and a mate cane down from Aberdeen and woke in the morning to find his train ticket home was used as a roach and he had to hide in to toilet all the way home

Over the centuries, Jews have learned to keep their faith to themselves as much as possible. I'm guessing that's true for Muslims as well. We'll all have met plenty of practicing Jews without realising it.

It's downright hilarious when Christians in the UK or US pretend to be oppressed. There's a whole underlying level of everyday bigotry that most of us are never exposed to, and it's a bit of a shocker when people from other faiths decide to tell you about it.

Agreed. See the ridiculous tweet from Murdo Fraser today complaining bitterly about Humza Yousaf being photographed attending Friday prayers. A Muslim First Minister is newsworthy, a monarch attending Kirk in Deeside, quite frankly isnae.

Having had a Nintendo DS with Mario Kart that has been out of battery, I'd been looking for a charger for ages.  Finally, found the charger yesterday, but now I can't find the DS.  By the time I've found the latter, it's almost a given that I'll have forgotten where I put the charger. 😒

Reply to this message with where you've put the charger. You can then search for that message when you find the DS and hence find the charger.

Charger is in the drawer with all the old scuzz mags.

Back to PTTGOYN. People on the PTTGOYN thread using words like "roach". Assuming it's some kind of drug reference, so I'm none the wiser but it's reducing my enjoyment of the thread. So very petty and very much on my nerves.

Name names, chief. 

It's a petty annoyance when folk don't specifically name these others, allowing the prospect of a heads gone

Clacks Council have had Kylie Minogue's All the Lovers as their hold music for years, possibly since it was fairly new out. No other songs - just that one.

There's bound to be people who have to call them every day and sit gnawing their fist as they listen to the same tune over and over again.
