Things you hate IV

I'm really ******* annoyed that our league position and Javis sacking have taken the gloss right off Evertons misery.

 

The same. A lot on my network who support labour who feel the need to shove how great Corbyn is and how awful Boris is down your throats at every opportunity.

No one from any other party does it. I don't see Cons, Lib Dems or even Greens going on and on about anti labour rants.

And as you say, it's not balanced views or informative encouragement to view all manifestos. It's just pro Corbyn anti Cons propaganda.

Makes me wonder if, as supporters of Labour, they're not part of some Labour supporters email list encouraging them to post it.

Funny thing is, after the last election none of them could understand how Labour lost when all they saw all over their news feeds was pro-labour messages. It's like talking to a brick wall when you tell them the loudest voices do not always represent the majority opinion.

As a current "on-the-fence" voter, it really does put me off voting Labour just to spite them!

(I will of course take a more balanced and informed approach when making my decision!)

 

To the politics section with this topic, please.

 

‘Black Friday’ is a verb now apparently.

Get in the sea.

 

Grammar standards are even worse in the wider world than they are on here.

 

Sorry!

 

Apparently Justin Trudeau is in trouble again, he thought it was Black up Friday!

Bit of topical humour from two months ago for you there.

 

Black Friday.
It’s not, it’s a Black week or more and you have to hunt for the real bargains, most of which sell out in minutes.

 

Guilty as charged, sorry..

.. this should help in your quest...

(But I keep getting Nordin Amrabat )

 

Was black Friday last week or this week?

Should probably call it black November and be done with it. It's probably a good time to renew phone contracts or get a gym membership as there'll always be a deal when you come to renew.

 

I've prematurely black friday'd.

 

Neil Hunt? Is that you? How ******* dare you! You should know that my sister’s brother owns a ******* sword shop, you man of tod!

 

Don’t forget to spend the last of the pennies your earned in October on yourself folks! Before you go and spunk all of your money on **** for other grownups that pretend to enjoy Christmas!

 

Sound advice.

 

Thanks for your advice, but I should have plenty to spare. I've made a shrewd investment with the Nigerian royal family that should pay off any day now.

 

I saw on the news the other day that barely 5% of BF deals are the cheapest those products have ever been offered.

More of a scam now. Raise prices a few weeks before BF just to drop them and show a saving for the event. Then back up for 4 weeks before they drop again for the Jan sales.

 

When good bands go crap.

My wife surprised me with tickets to see the Courteeners at Olympia on Saturday night. Their first couple of albums were pretty good, but worse and worse with each one since then and I hadn't bothered with the last one at all, so I wasn't exactly impressed.

The gig itself was everything I dreaded it would be - a band with a singer up his own backside with the other 3 members anonymous and motionless, knocking out bang average tunes which make endless references to places in Manchester. The audience went wild for them, but I just couldn't get it. Full of Liam Gallagher clones chucking beer around. I suspect that there is a big Oasis shaped hole in the market for white middle class "lads" and they fill it, despite being second rate. They even came on stage to What's the Story.

Left half an hour before the end as it was so bad.

 

WWII Strategy game and Nordin for me. Come back Fatima!

 

Watford Monopoly!



Chance: Hire 4th manager of the season. Pay £2m.

 

Chatting parents. All the fake laughing, disingenuous compliments, vapid, pointless words being exchanged by dullard mums and dads as they stand in my way, oblivious to their surroundings or the obstacle they are presenting to the rest of the world. At the school gates and all the clubs my children attend.

 

You have won 2nd place in a managerial beauty contest.

 

Acceptable if losing to QSF, insulting if Gracia!

 

Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go do not collect £200...… Bassini

 

Your loan matures, collect your south american starlet from your European feeder club.

 

HSBC Premier Bank calling in your loans early. File for bankruptcy.

Go to shoe shine/key shop in the Harlequin during lunch break & get a duplicate of the safe key made.

 

Chance. "You mess up, and can't collect any rent on the flats behind the stadium ever"

 

Got to laugh at questions, or rather answers on Amazon.

Q - "Does it need AA or AAA batteries?".
A - 'I don't know, didn't buy this one".

Q - "Is this the 6ft version?".
A - "Its quite long, longer than I thought".

Just keep quiet if you dont know.

 

Shop worker b*llshitters. Went into B&Q to get linseed oil putty; he had no idea what or where it was - when described he suggested bathroom sealant; also a carpet-to-laminate cover plate. Lad tried to ******** me into a length of angle iron. Just admit you don't know.
As a service when I had located said items I went back to him to let him know what and where - complete disinterest.

 

I was just in B&Q half an hour ago buying some grey bathroom grout and some glittery **** to mix into it. Got to the till where there was a quite attractive, stern looking Eastern European lady;

Her - ‘Bathroom?’

Me - ‘Yeah, well it’s my mums. Just been doing some work for her’

‘Hmm. You know we have mirrored tiles?’

‘Oh I’ve already done the tiling just need to grout it. It’s these black, glassy mosaic tiles. Looks really nice. Just a little bit of something shiny as a splashback for the sink’

‘Mirrored tiles would look better’

‘oh yeah? I just crack on with what I think will look good otherwise she’d take forever making her mind up!’ (note the attempt at humour here, throwing my mum under the bus but hey I’m a people pleaser)

‘Hmmmm. I sell this (Grout glitter) to a lady yesterday and she come back to say it looks bad. I tell her to use mirrored tiles’

She gave me a little smirk as I paid, it was all a bit odd.

 

Just a quick heads up, make sure the grout is sand free if you've got glass or stainless steel tiles or be bloody careful as you can scratch them when clearing off excess.

 

Cheers mate, I’ll watch out for that. I’d say I’m reasonably handy but it’s been my first time tiling. Did the whole bath/shower with ceramic metro tiles and smashed the absolute **** out it if I may say so myself. First crack at something a little more aesthetically interesting with the glittery grout, doing that tomorrow.
