Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Tried to set up a football team at work after getting an email inviting me to join a league. Joined provisionally while trying to get players but after reading T&Cs saying I'd be liable to pay the full money (£126 a game) if we missed any, I emailed to pull out. With the first game tomorrow they emailed me claiming I now owe the match fee for tomorrow, a joining deposit (which I haven't paid) and a cancellation fee equalling £250-300. They have nothing other than my email, but it's annoying now having to go back and forth to debate with them that I won't be paying.

Tell them if you get any more harassment, then you will be taking legal advice.

Nah, power play.


Ah right, I had an issue with soccersixes before when we ended up playing the same team 5 weeks in a row because of others not turning up. I told the guy that I wasn't paying for anymore games against the same team and he then tried to say if I wanted to pull out of the league I had to pay some ridiculous amount, to which he was kindly to told to f**k off.

Was this league based in Nigeria by any chance?

Many years ago I'd notice the odd grey hair on my head and would yank it out. Then it got to the stage that there were too many to worry about and I just accept my brown with the odd grey speck napper, Then I'd start getting the odd grey ear or nose hair. I'd quite enjoy yanking them out as they were generally longer and thicker than the others. This morning I had a long grey chest hair. I should just check myself in to the glue factory. Definitely on the slow road to death now. Turn 40 next year too.

Watching Dunfermline will do that to you.

I turned 40 today, I feel your pain. Grey hairs everywhere (well, except downstairs)

I used to try and get rid of them, but as my hair is very slowly falling out, i reckon I need to keep as many as possible.

Haven't noticed any round the boys yet, though.

I ordered what I thought was a side of onion rings at a restaurant the other day and was presented with a full onion, in batter. Who the f**k would want that?!?

I just discovered whom at work has been not flushing the toilet after themselves. Some fcking Weirdo that walks like he's stalking. Unsure whether to call him up on it in front of the office or not, that's not my style. Hence I'll post it here.

Assistants in DIY or other specialist shops rolling their eyes when I come in looking for something that I don't know the technical word for.  The reason I'm in here is for your assistance and expertise!  Not knowing what a unit with two taps and one spout is called doesn't actually matter, ya spangle.

I'm moving shortly, was planning just to get BT in the new place - take it you'd recommend virgin, throbber?

I moved from Virgin to BT a couple of years ago, tempted by the offer of free football.  It was only after I'd cancelled Virgin and was on the phone for BT to flick the switch that they finally told me that the strength of signal in my area wasn't strong, and that I might not get a decent picture on TV, if at all.  Red-faced, I scuttled back to Virgin.
