Apparently he's been turning up his nose at hospital food because the only thing he eats ( and I stress only) is chips and hot dog sausages. They're letting her take them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't one of the national managers (Roxburgh? Brown?) demonstrate a statistical 'balls into the box/resulting number of goals' ratio? I hate short corners as well, or free kicks being played sideways or short. Get the ball into the box FFS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Roxburgh and Brown played for QP. Their experience of short corners at the club would explain why they preferred the ball being banged over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't the fragiles be the last thing you put on the belt, ergo being the last to be scanned and the last to be packed ?

This is absolutely one of those things that folk have seen top sports stars do in a high stakes environment and thought "I want to be just like them ". Have even seen this being played out in my boy's u10s matches along with ridiculous exaggeration of injuries and putting a hand up at corners. "What was the hand up for at the corner ?" " I don't know but I've seen players do it on the telly " Edited November 30, 2023 by JamesP_81 Typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Two 30/40 year old women with trolleys at the self scan checkouts having a conversation as they slowly scan whilst a queue of 5/6 builds up behind them.

Silvio Tattiescone Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Trying to change my email on Hotels.com. I used my work email but I've changed jobs and can't access that email address any more. Trying to change my registered email, it sends a code to my old email to verify my identity. Emailed their "support" line explaining this and they apologised, then sent a verification code to my old email. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
