    Things that annoy you

    Shedule, until Generation X started watching Friends on a loop. Other examples Autopsy when they mean post mortem. Cookie when they mean biscuit. C section when they mean Caesarean.

    Things that annoy you

    It's the same with 'skyrocketed'. Didn't 'rocketed' suffice? How does adding Sky improve the meaning? Another stupid Americanism, no doubt. Don't get me started on normalcy creeping in instead of normality and schedule being pronounced the American 'skedule' instead of British 'shedule'

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    I'm feeling giddy on this just levelled playing field, dazzled by the aura of the recently extinguished light at the end of the tunnel, teetering on the end of this bridge.

    City 4 Everton 1

    I was at this match too. I was a newlywed as I'd been married at Easter. A great day and never in doubt. I remember trying to get news of that away game at Stoke too. Not easy in those days living in Brum. Had to rely on Radio 2 updates as 5live didnt exist.

    Tbf I wouldn't want a drink with either but if I had to choose it would be Starmer as his dad was a toolmaker and so was mine. What the hell would I talk about with Johnson? Born in New York, brought up first in Brussells then Eton. Nothing in common at all.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unfortunately (or not) only about 6 million of UK workers are members of unions so I dont really think they can honestly say they speak for "working people" any more. KS should call his bluff. Who else would Unite fund? A breakaway party? Let it roll.

    Which Labour policies does he have a problem with? I haven't seen any that were not in Corbyn's manifesto.

    What sort of person would not have voted Tory last week but will (given the chance) next week?

    Jo Swinson wasn't even an MP when the referendum was held so that seems a stretch

    That's not even remotely true. He remains a dangerous man who, as he admits himself, should have been nowhere near power. He is the architect of Brexit so if you trash him you are admitting Brexit was built by a maverick. It all demonstrates what we've known all along that we are led by donkeys...

    Next seasons shirt - Embroidered crest?

    Exactly. I think the club have missed a trick by not revealing the members shirt about a month ago. As it stands they'll be revealing new home and away kits at a time when many are awaiting their members shirts. Why buy any more shirts when you're receiving your free one?

    If anyones up for a giggle...

    I was at that match and have already put them straight in a WM club in the North East whilst watching Sunderland lose a play off final on the big screen back in the 90s/00s. 1998 I think. Happy days. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::cool::cool: PUSB

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Maybe people like Labour ideas but not Labour people. Maybe people won't vote for everyone having free stuff (Labour) but will vote for some people / places having free stuff (Tories)

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It seems there is some debate about that inflatable. It looks like an Arab sheikh stereotype to me. "At the Hyde Park march, a giant inflatable puppet dressed like an Arab with horns and a hooked nose led to some confusion. Some interpreted it as an antisemitic reference to Jews, but others...
