When I did get dragged in I discovered the LinkedIn pictures of the office lassies were absolutely nothing like the reality. (shudder) The Swindon lot are like that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted Friday at 17:19 Share Posted Friday at 17:19 Ram your boring weather chat. It's been glorious anyway, warm but not roasting with a pleasing breeze and refreshing drizzle when it rains, as well as being light for ages. Genuinely the best summer weather. Anyway, Lidl baskets, the big plastic ones with wheels. They're always fucking filthy and I have to sort through a load before finding the least dirty one.

DA Baracus Posted Friday at 17:49 Share Posted Friday at 17:49 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Saturday at 20:29 Share Posted Saturday at 20:29 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 Saturday at 22:41 Share Posted Saturday at 22:41 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...

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...

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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted yesterday at 07:02 Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 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...

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...
Newbornbairn Posted yesterday at 08:49 Share Posted yesterday at 08:49 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
