I thought men were more likely to commit suicide? I must be unlucky as I am surrounded by grumpy blokes.

The D Di man!

Marx and Freud thought religion made up and part of elite manipulation of the masses. These became standard tropes of sociology lessons but were debunked over a century ago. Religion, the evidence of anthropology suggests, evolved over thousands of years as answers to human questions and needs...

I wish SISU had abdicated before 2 or 3 years ago

Only 6 Saturday home games all season up to that fixture on 21st January. That's nearly 6 months. We will have played 17 at home in that time. No incentive for fans who live some distance for whom mid week matches are difficult or for the older fans reluctant to brave the dark and cold nights...

Pedestrians crossing roads is one thing. The people who annoy me are those who wander in car parks and seem oblivious to the fact that the CARS have right of way unless you are on a genuine pathway. Everywhere else is 'road' which you only walk on if there are no cars coming. Today in Solihull I...

People who get annoyed over the slightest thing. :mad:

What nonsense. Father Christmas is a metaphor for parental love. Therefore he is real.

On the subject of tight people, I took my elderly parents and my 2 kids to the Tollgate many moons ago during half term and my older brother tagged along. I bought the first round of drinks before the meal. As the meal progressed I enquired if anyone wanted another drink. He declined so I bought...

People that brag about how large a tip they leave. :);)

Farage is a smug, self absorbed buffoon. He is a wrecker with no real interest in this country or any other. He is the perfect partner to arselick Trump. He will not be allowed to embarrass U.K. by being anywhere near a role in this, formal or informal. He is a Quisling.

If you haven't seen "You've been trumped" I recommend it to see the real nature of this man. Bullied everyone who stood in his way with no regret or morals at all. Apparently the sequel has just been released. The interesting question is whether a man who is monstrous in many ways has a genuine...

On Brexit, a relative of mine who lives in Coventry voted Leave and genuinely thought it meant we would be out by the end of this year. Also thought we could just walk away and every trade link would carry on as before but without free movement and without EU laws. I think many probably thought...

The guy is a snake oil salesman who has managed to convince lots of middle class white people that they are not part of or direct beneficiaries of "the Establishment". He comes from money and has lived amongst these elites all his life, including being educated at a private military school. He...

People who live on Facebook. You can tell who they are because they can't understand anyone who, like me, are not on it and never want to be. They also talk about people online as if they are real when they are spectres, profiles, virtual people. I have never felt I was missing anything. I...

Showing your ignorance there, sorry. I teach Religious Education/Studies, Geography and sometimes History. We cover issues like this far more in Religious Studies. This very week I will be doing lessons on Should we help the poor? With year 9 in RE and Ethics, which the subject is now called in...

I'm a teacher and if they start any of that on me I smile, shrug and say "If you're talking to me you're going to have to use English not gibberish." It usually provokes an interesting discussion on the meaning of gibberish and if they have a big enough attention span the importance of slang...

On the theme of Halloween, I get why kids might like it but adults dressing up with their kids and showing off photos at work of themselves at some weirdo event and excitedly discussing their costume in great detail... and that's 40 year old blokes . Wtf?

I consider it provocation at teatime when some of us drivers are a long way from home and haven't eaten for hours. :rage:

Congratulations to the young man who today managed to combine several things that annoy me in one go. He was wearing checked shorts with a baggy coat over them plus trainers and mismatch coloured socks. He started to cross at the pedestrian lights AFTER the 'red man' had appeared and the amber...
