    Things that annoy you

    The woman currently commentating on the Oz v Danes WC match on 5Live. Fucking horrible voice. Turned off. I'll go without thanks!

    He is one of the few who provides any movement into space off the ball, and some of his balls are exquisite (ooh-err, missus!)

    Qatar World Cup 2022

    Interesting POV, Alkhen, although that in itself was incredibly negative. However, i have a nasty feeling that England can only play front-foot, free-flowing football against mediocre opposition, which is why we finish top of the qualifying group. Faced with a half-way-decent side (if you can...

    Things that annoy you

    The people on football commentaries/analysis who use the term "one v one". Fucking HATE it, especially in a Manc accent! It's a one-ON-one you twats! Oh and what is it with the use of the word "group" in place of team or squad? They need to look up the definitions of team and group (i.e. a...

    Things that annoy you

    The issue is whether it is polite and proper to call something/someone by the name that they would prefer to be known by, and it is very much a hangover from colonialism and having an empire that we (the British) are worse than most at giving something a name that is easier for us to pronounce...

    Things that annoy you

    We're migrating to OneDrive and Office365 and it is absolutely bewildering to me! I try to open a link that someone has sent me and it says it's not accessible - and i have NO idea why!! If i'm WFH, i never know if it's because i'm not logged in to the work VPN, but i am assured not. It keeps...

    Far more features than Zoom, which is primitive by comparison.

    Things that annoy you

    Yes, the BBC's promotion of a commercial event like Glastonbury annoys the hell out of me too. All the political reporters flying to Bali for G20 the week after they have been in Egypt for COP27 too! These things could be reported on by them watching online like they did during the pandemic.

    Things that annoy you

    BBC (and probably other media channels) who send huge amounts of people to Qatar to "report" on the World Cup. Bloody 5Live Breakfast sending a presenter there. And all the studio bollocks for matches - could ALL be done from the UK. Massive expenditure of licence fee. irrespective of the issues...

    Is lurking furtively in the lingerie aisle frowned upon these days??

    Things that annoy you

    People who repeatedly use "super" as a prefix to verbs due to their lack of vocabulary. See also Doug King. You're not an influencer doing a TikTok video - you're being interviewed by the BBC about a major business undertaking. Fucking grow up! He may or may not be the real deal or a lying...

    Things that annoy you

    If there's one thing we have learnt in the past almost three years, it's that we can have perfectly fruitful and rigorous debate online, so they don't need to be in Egypt AT ALL. Same goes for all the myriad reporters that the BBC and other broadcast media have sent there - equally hypocritical...

    Says who? Some tool writing in the Daily Fail based on guesswork and hearsay?

    It is all hearsay from the Daily Mail, of all places. I can't believe any of you are placing any credence in this "story" whatsoever!

    Mike Ashley

    The bloke is a scavenger, waiting until his prey is close to death before pouncing, and then stripping it of all of its dispensable parts (most often the staff). He won't be interested in buying CCFC from Otium unless we go into administration and he can get it on the cheap. I'd love Sisu to up...

    Giraffes

    18 inches, apparently. They are pretty adept at taking a single food pellet from your fingers. Amazing up close in a sanctuary, even more amazing in the Serengeti.
