Can’t tell whether it’s just childish impatience or they’re thick as shit. Probably the same people who press buttons to call a lift when it's already illuminated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Cardle is Magic said: Most ScotRail trains I’ve used the doors remain closed unless someone inside or outside tries to open them. I noticed, visiting London last weekend, that the doors on the underground trains open automatically at stations. It's not quite free prescriptions, but worth considering.. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Regarding the door buttons on trains, whether illuminated or not, this means to goons that you have to stand right in front of the doors, blocking folk getting off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have my hand on the button ready to press the millisecond it illuminated just to get on/off the train that much faster. But for the record I am childishly impatient, and thick as shit... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The current obsession of football commentators and "added time" Every game I've watched recently as soon as the clock hits 35 or 80 minutes they start wittering on about "10 minutes to go, and whatever the referee adds could be 5 minutes, could be 10, who knows?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did say it's an American import, so It's a lot of shite. My wife was peeved that I didn't take the afternoon off and she said she hoped I'd take the afternoon off for his graduation ceremony.

Agreed. I’ll add that mine is the current moaning about refs now adding on a lot of extra time to games, especially from managers crying about player welfare and that extra 10mins is unfair. The very reason it’s being added on is because they are only playing about 50 minutes of every 90 min game. They can manage another 10 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Folk who preach that the 'proper' way to make tea is to put the milk in first. Erm, no. That was a forced order back in the day to minimise cracking of the cup, absolutely f*** all to do with the taste. If the cups could handle it, royalty would have been dedicated tea-first aficionados . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I randomly put milk 1st or hot water 1st - the tea bags we can get are so shite I doubt it would even matter if you pissed in the cup before adding the milk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a prize giving ceremony at the end of every year and a school disco as well so maybe we're no so different after all. It's just they seem to make such a big thing here - hiring gowns and tuxedos etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
