BFTD Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 If headline writers could stop referring to teams/players "edging" each other, that would be nice. Not a mental image I need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 55 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: Incorrectly using "just about" when actually you mean "only just". The commentator in the Germany vs Spain game on ITV committed this crime after Germany equalised. Add to that, using momentarily to mean in a short time rather than for a short time. I heard a commentator the other day saying the players would be there momentarily. Stop with this American crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Referees stopping the game before what seems like every set piece to tell players they're being watched. I don't know why they do it. Have a word pre match in both dressing rooms and then let the game flow or give fouls when they happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Scent boosters. For as long as I can remember you use soap (powder/liquid) and fabric conditioner in your washing machine. Now we're being told we also need to add scent booster to make the washing smell fresh. I want to clean my clothes, not add chemicals to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're always fucking filthy and I have to sort through a load before finding the least dirty one. Rank. I take a big heavy duty bag in with me and just fill it up as I go around, no doubt making some folk think I'm shoplifting in the most brazen of manners. They'll get their money, and no, I don't eat/drink any of it as I go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely the best summer weather. Sometimes I think you say these things just to get a reaction. Well, I'll give ye it! This weather has been absolutely pish for anyone that enjoys being outside for any length of time. It is not in any way, shape or form good summer weather nevermind the "best" summer weather, and perhaps you should move yourself to the jungle if this is what you're into. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Just now, DA Baracus said: Haha, what's stopping folk from going outside? I never said it stopped me going outside, just that this sort of weather is pish for it. It's no fun heading out in shorts and t shirt only to take refuge under a tree every couple of hours when a torrential shower comes on. Or going for a round of golf and ending up drowned. There's nothing refreshing about being rained on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the advertisers try to manufacture a demand by coming up with ridiculous invented phrases like that is a PTTGOYN for me. See also the attempt to make 'Boomerang smell' an actual thing, ffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time a new soap powder advert comes out claiming to be a certain amount better than before, leaving your clothes cleaner and smelling better than previous powders. Us kids in the 80's must've been washing our clothes in nothing better than dog shit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Tattiescone Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The local tip moving to an online booking system. Apparently it was too popular and lots of people were using it. Now it's very quiet and the "workers" sit around scratching their arses or topping up their suntans. Hurrah for the cooncil for whom the priority is to create the best possible conditions for their staff, doing as little work as possible and shafting council tax payers. Meanwhile there's piles of dumped crap in every quiet corner of the town and in the country roads nearby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a bit of a PITA when they kept it afterwards, but its fine - you can book a slot straight away on the phone and just head up. Means there are no queues. In, dump, out - basically like my morning routine ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I had an argument with some jobsworth when I wanted to put some glass in the recycling at the coup. "Have you an appointment" "I'm just dumping some bottles" "We've had folk from Danderhall coming here with bottles" (Danderhall is in Midlothian Council) "Twat" (Tam the Diplomatic) Instead I found a bottle bin outside some tenaments in the Edinburgh Council area and I hope the people from Danderhall do the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
