The Premier League being called the Premiership
At least one caller said it on CWR last night after the PNE game ... and a thread popped up on here with it on
It was called the Premiership for a lot of the time we were in it, when it was sponsored by Carling it was the FA Carling Premiership. The Premier League branding came back in the 00s.

People who eat smelly food on trains or planes.
It's 7am. I'm half asleep. Fuck off. It always seems to be young women as well. Not only that but I actually pimped out for first class, and we get breakfast! Absolutely no need for it. Now I feel sick and probably won't even eat breakfast, even though I have a football match and need to.
Selfish pricks.

Why are cars so big nowadays

Many driven by people who can’t handle them or know how to keep to their side of the road. Lots just to drop little Tarquin at school as he can’t walk half a mile

The parking on our road when it’s school drop off time is crazy , usually I’m at work and never notice but I’ve been off the week there’s been at least 3 arguments and a couple of near misses .

If traffic wardens came down our road at schooltime they could help council finances a lot .Nowhere is out of bounds park opposite each other blocking the road, corners, footpaths, double yellows and accross driveways anytime after half two they sit and wait their child

All in cars the size of tanks.
The worst drivers on the road are middle aged stay at home mums in SUV's and Uber eats/Just Eat drivers in clapped out bangers.

Or indicators that only work after the breaks are slammed on.

I occasionally make the mistake of walking the dog around school drop-off time and my god, the reckless entitlement of parents on the school run is utterly crazy. The ridiculous driving and parking I've seen, all because heaven forfend little Tarquin and little Isadora should have to walk more than eleven steps to school

There's two schools close to me and its absolute chaos when I'm on my way to work in the morning.
Between the way parents drive & park and the kids walking blindly into the road with their eyes glued to their phone I'm amazed their hasn't been a serious accident. It will happen at some point and I doubt even that will motivate people to change.
What amazes me is the two schools are both less than 10 minutes walk away but when I'm off work you will see people on my street, normally still in their pyjamas, load the kids into the SUV, drive them to school, then return home. Its not even dropping the kids off on the way to work!

The town I live in isn't very big, and the reality is that most children live very close to the school. Despite that, lots of them are dropped every day. I think the time some people spend trying to find somewhere to park is as long as it would be to walk.
It's a poor example to children from an early age to set that <10 minute walks should be done by car.

I really never thought that at 38 I'd turn into the "in my day we hiked six miles to school through snowstorms" guy but when my sister and I were at Primary School, it was a mile's walk which we did more or less every day and it instilled in me a lifelong love of walking wherever possible

I was exposed to a full blown ‘hipster off’ in the trendy coffee shop near me this morning. Force 10 on whatever scale it is that’s used to measure such an event…the Felix Scale?
Anyway, the trendy looking bloke who owns it and is all beads and mullet struck up a conversation with a customer.
Having established she has been in the library a lot (should have warned me…like a pre-seismic rumble). She then Started talking about how this morning she’d been for a breakfast picnic on the beach.
Beads Matey came back with “I’m hoping to get into the woods tonight: Be out amongst the stars”.
She then delivered an absolute knockout by saying “yeah that sounds great. I’m hoping to go to Mountain Yoga tomorrow”!
Boom!
Mountain Yoga!?!?! He never saw that coming! Out of nowhere. Take that Beads Matey!
I leant in and said, “I’m hoping to get tickets for Cov vs Swansea. Now fuck off you absolute fucking pair of cunts”.
I didn’t say this. Shame.

Absolutely right, I walked to school my entire school life. Even if my dad wasn't at work the chances of him driving us there would be zero.

Not composting, haven’t really got the space. I was loading it into the green bin for storage purposes (green is our garden waste and we haven’t paid for it this year). Had to order a skip now - there’s £240 I missed from my midnight budget.

Women's pension age.
My dragon turns 66 on May 11th. She's just had a letter informing her that she receives her first full pension payment on August 11th (with a week's worth being paid in July).
Now, it was bad enough that they nicked her pension from the age of sixty, and as she basically retired before that, we have to get by on just my pension. Now it appears the actual pension age is 66 and two months at least.
When did that happen?
Fckn fuming.

I actually did that once (well, seven miles) from Hall Green to Woodlands in about 1966 or so, cos the buses weren't running due to a massive overnight snowfall. On arrival I got a major bollocking for being so late and wearing non-uniform boots.
Never again. Don Thompsom was a c**t who ran it like a cross between a public school and a borstal.

I know it is. And it'll go higher. However, my beef is it's currently 66, and then they make her wait two months! And that after we'd planned for her getting it at 60...

I am not arguing it was right or proper but the bureaucratic classes have been planning this for decades. Some facts...
They incease it gradually on a schedule, similar to what happened when they bumped it up to 66. The increase from 60 for women was announced 21 years ago in the Pensions Act 1995, this was passed partially to comply with EU directive 79/7 (1978) requiring equal treatment of sexes for all social benefits by 2008.
What part did the EU play in raising women’s pensionable age? - LSE BREXIT What part did the EU play in raising women’s pensionable age? - LSE BREXIT
PS Civil Servants can access their pensions from the age of 55. Those bastards look after themselves as they screw everyone else.
