Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

What a fascinating exchange.

Any band called “The .......(something)” being incorrectly referred to as only (something).
Prime example tonight on Radio Scotland , Get it On when the presenter Brian Burnett said,  as the song was ending “Jam ...That’s Entertainment”.
 

Always annoys me when Sevco5088 are referred to as "Rangers".


Surely every fucker knows it's "The Rangers".

When discussing football, the phrase "He had no right to.."

Or the keeper “just about did enough to keep that out”. No he did enough you fuckwit. That’s why it’s not a goal.

Seeing as online quizzes are now all the rage, people asking a questiin and inviting you to "guess the answer".

I don't have to guess. I know it.

Headphone cords are the work of Satan. If you tried to tie them in those knots it would take all morning. Leave them in your pocket for 20 minutes and it's another 1/2 hour until you can use them.

Very much a fan of the 2-3-5 formation they used in the 60s. Like a rugby line.

Me too. Still haven't got my head around all the names for the new positions. An onion tied to the belt was the fashion of the time. I think the formations exaggerate the difference in how games were actually played though, forwards, especially wingers, and midfielders would drop back whereas as now they talk about them going forward.

People that don't take an interest in politics.

It's often them that f**k over the rest of us.

I think you'll find it's the politicians that f**k you over. No matter who you vote for. 

Happy to help.

It’s really not.

In terms of the U.K. Parliament the biggest problems, in reverse order, are

3 who people vote for

2 the antiquated FPTP system

1 people who don’t vote.  The people in this category have all sort of excuses, a favourite one being “they’re all the same”

Name one party who have significantly improved the lives of the denizens of these Isles. 

For all the flak that one party takes, the others were not much better and are romanticised cos, erm, "Thatchers deid!". 

It's exactly the same at the lower, council levels. They will stand and say one thing then their masks slip and just like 95% of the populace, they're a self indulgent arsehole only out for themselves.

Can I assume you fall into the category “1”?

Labour 1945-51. Labour's minimum wage. SNP abolishing bedroom tax, prescription charges, college fees.

You can assume whatever you like. 

You'd be wrong to assume that though.

So you accept there’s a “lesser of two evils” aspect to voting?

Absolutely. 

That doesn't mean the lesser of the two doesn't still f**k you over though.
