    Things that annoy you

    The centre have an advertising cabinet which happens to be right outside Card Factory so I have been utilising that when possible. Got it again over the Fathers Day period so hopefully that makes a difference but having worked in both shops my footfall is running at about 60% of theirs yet takes...

    Things that annoy you

    Birthday cards & partyware. I was the manager of a Card Factory and decided to open my own a couple of years back. I have a large footfall coming through my shop every day, I probably have 25% conversion rate. I've got better quality stuff, a bigger shop with more choice and most of it is the...

    Things that annoy you

    I've thought long and hard about that but I live 50 yards away and have a couple of spare bedrooms. I just know if they do get made homeless where they will end up :( Another thing that really annoys me. I own a shop, i'm cheaper than my competitior and sell the same things. I'm sited about 50...

    Things that annoy you

    People who feign injury so they can claim disability benefits whilst then describing such payments as "being paid". That would be 3 of my brother in laws. In the 14 years i've known them they have not done a days work between them when there's nothing stopping them from gaining employment other...

    GO AND VOTE

    First time i've not voted. I didn't even realise there were local elections until 9:55 pm and by then it was too late. I'm sure I usually get lots of propaganda through the letterbox in the weeks beforehand but i've had nothing this time around.

    Programmes you could watch all day....

    I've spent the best part of a fortnight watching Criminal Minds. Before that it was CSI Miami and before that it was the Mentalist.

    Your very own "Overcome with emotion" thread...

    Stockport away in the first game in the championship. Huge away following, easy win, Lee Hughes looking class and a sense that we would piss the league. Oh dear.

    Things that annoy you

    Family get togethers. One of them has convinced himself Elvis is still alive and has even had a fully blown arguement regarding it. Another two have dropped on hints about them committing suicide and another has sat there farting non stop for two hours. This makes league of gentlemen look normal...

    Not sure if it's been mentioned on here but companies house is free these days. I could have sworn it cost a couple of quid a search last time I used it. Lots of great information if you have the time to search. Companies House service

    Lump it long merchants?

    Didn't Cambridge play just a little bit of football when they put 4 past us a few months back? Quite patronising to assume it's all kick and rush type stuff.

    Things You Now Like ?

    I thought the same but had a burger in Wetherspoons that had melted Shropshire blue in it. Really nice stuff. There is still no way I would cut a piece off of a block though, it just looks so wrong!

    Things You Now Like ?

    I used to hate mustard. Now I love it. I didn't like 90's dance at the time but I do now. My least favourite day of the week used to be my day off, now it's the other way round. I absolutely hate every day i'm in work. I used to love Strongbow, now I can't stand it. I used to need a piss a...

    Budget constraints

    How much revenue are we likely to get out of the final 3 games? Season ticket holders have already paid, today's half price, the VAT man has 16.7% of it, stewards and what not need paying. It's going to be pretty close to £100k I recon.

    League two FFP rules.

    I wonder if we didn't accept fees for Stevenson and Willis in anticipation of relegation and to help improve the budget next season. Slade was hired as a short term fix and in order to eventually offer Robins a competitive budget perhaps sales were put on the back burner until summer.

    EFL Trophy bet/odds dispute

    33s was clearly an error on their part but that said, they accepted the bet and they should pay up. Plaster it all over FB and twitter, shame the buggers. I've accidentally put up odds on betfair before now that cost me big but it was my mistake so tough titties, I had to grin and bare it.

    Things that annoy you

    Fridge freezers that pack up the day after you've filled it with shopping. Needless to say I hadn't noticed until everything had gone manky. Stray cats too, got one at the moment that comes in when I'm at work and it smells like a rotting carcass. I've set an RSPCA trap for it but it's not daft...
