    Things that annoy you

    I struggle with all the streaming services tbh. I ditched Amazon unlimited, Apple and Spotify as they were all too "US-centric" with their playlists and stations. I'm with Youtube Music at the moment but it keeps regurgitating the same tracks when i would rather it gave me a bit wider scope. The...

    Things that annoy you

    We have a family friend who was something connected to military intelligence and the GPS system. In response to this question, he said "What gave you the impression that they *weren't*?"

    Sunderland Fan In Peace

    Did wonder where you were going with that, CvD - the Sky Blue Stand was bulldozed about 18 years ago!

    Empty seats

    I read that as "Have brought numerous mates' Mums ..." - thought you had some kind of gigolo operation going on! As far as attendance figures go, it makes no difference whether ST holders are there or not, they count them as attending. Similarly with every ticket sold. They don't actually know...

    Things that annoy you

    Trigger warnings: I'm also heartily sick to death of the "if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in this item, there is a range of organisations which can provide help and advice, listed on the BBC Action Line (or C4, or whatever) website". The latest was an interview of a woman who...

    I presume you don't have a pet to put the outfit on instead? Or perhaps a matching pair?

    Remember it's the disease, Daz. It's not her being spiteful. You are a fucking hero to look after them. But there are plenty of organisations who can take up the slack when you need them to. Have a happy Christmas.

    Things that annoy you

    Absolutely agree. Also Andy Williams' "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" just been on the radiogram - IS IT? Really??? I'd rather be on holiday in the summer somewhere exotic with just me and my beautiful wife - THAT is what i call wonderful! Oh, and "Christmas is just for the children" -...

    Segregation

    It would be simple to have one or two single-rail fences at just about waist height either side of a single aisle which is able to be filled with coppers and/or stewards. You see that set-up at many grounds, even in the Prem. Or better still, a single taller fence at the line of segregation...

    Nothing wrong with a comfy pair of crimplene slacks and a light sweater :)

    Likewise Paper Moon, alongside his daughter Tatum when she was about 9. Just a beautiful film!

    Things that annoy you

    This is the problem with cars that have SOME automated functions but not all! My car has daytime running lights at the front (as is required on all recent cars) but also turns front and rear lights on when the light level fades. Many don't have that so they blindly assume the lights are on. It's...

    Segregation

    What was the deal with blocks 4 and 8 (??) being empty? Or were they all in the posh bar all game?

    Match Thread Coventry City - Birmingham City Match Thread - Friday 8th Dec

    I think we should be OK for the win tonight. Rooney will be wanting to save a good number of his squad for tomorrow afternoon's match against Sunderland ... if the official EFL website is to be believed!!

    Dumbest work meetings

    A certain leading university in the area (Warwick, seeing as you asked) have a HUMUNGOUS HR department (they call it the People Group. FFS!). Every Monday at 2pm, they have a "Huddle", where everyone has to stand around in the open plan office while the Director of HR spouts bollocks about what...
