    Things that annoy you

    On a par with the 3yo lad in Bury who got run over by a tractor in his own family's farmyard. Utterly preventable and desperately sad.

    or when interviewees give their answer then when they get to the end, and it sounds like they might have more to say, and they say "soooo ... yeah" and stop!

    Things that annoy you

    Can i add "living my best life"? (seemingly most often made in the context of some announcement about their gender and/or sexuality - neither of which i give a fuck about!) :sick:

    All purpose cricket thread

    I heard the "India get battered ..." chant going on for ages yesterday evening, and i wondered what the world was coming to! Footy types now going to the Test for a fun day out and not knowing how to behave. As for the accusations of racism, that just makes my blood boil! Anyway, India *don't*...

    No - DON'T ring in "to check first" - your workplace should still have a policy in place that you stay at home (and work from home if you are well enough) if you are positive or have any symptoms.

    All-purpose tennis thread

    Yeah Raducanu seems to have lost her way rather after her meteoric impact at the US Open. Too much time spent chasing lucrative sponsorship/modelling contracts and not enough time hardening herself up to face the challenges of professional sport. Having to retire from a match because you have...

    All-purpose tennis thread

    Slightly surprised there is nothing on the forum regarding tennis, given the discussions around what you might regard as more "minority sports". So i will kick off with Katie Boulter just beating last year's Wimbledon runner-up to get to round three of a grand slam tournament for the first time...

    Competitions etc, Who's won anything good?

    Hate to tell you this, ADM, but that was 50 odd years ago! I built the Airfix model of "Eagle" (Apollo 11 lunar module) and it was my pride and joy, growing up during the space race. I rediscovered it just the other day when clearing out my late mum's house. Glue had deteriorated so i picked it...

    Did it involve 10 grand to spend on a hooker for a night? Or 5 years in Hillfields!

    For information, i have deleted my post about Deborah James as I now recognise that it was clearly insensitive. I just wish my darling sister, who succumbed to breast cancer 13 years ago this week, could have been revered in such a way - she was no less special 😢 That's all.
