Things that annoy you (7 Viewers)

Memrise. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.

They key with languages is really immersion. Watch films with dubbing and subtitles, and go visit these places when you can so you can actually speak.

I'll give it a go. Agree completely on immersing yourself with it. Biggest problem is, when ever we go to Poland, as we do non touristy stuff, everyone sees it as a great opportunity to try their English.

It can be difficult in non-tourist areas for the opposite reason as well. When you encounter non-English speaking people, at the beginning there is too much of a gap between your skills and theirs. It depends on how hospitable the people, but in Czech it was an absolute nightmare out in the provinces. You would stumble over your sentences and they would scowl. Keep going!

100% correct. I have a 2100+ day streak in Spanish in DuoLingo, but when I try and converse with locals in Spain I haven't a fucking clue what they say back to me. I can however tell you that my Grandfather owns a large owl

I remember when I was learning Swedish, my breakthrough moment was ordering a Mcdonald's successfully. Restaurants and bars are the place to start. Get comfortable and build up your confidence. Discussing the United Nations views on the Congo, or your grandfathers owl is not useful at the onset, and can come later!

Young people who hang their trousers down but wear shorts underneath. Just really annoys me

You'd better tell the 100s of fans with club crests on their St George flags then. Cant be having that at in intl game!

Absolutely fine with flags seeing as they’re the St George Cross, just don’t agree with club shirts at international games.

 

[North York’s Blue]

Club over country any day of the week

Agree with that, just not club shirts at internationals

Why not? I definitely would - hardly worth getting annoyed at

 

[Tommo1993]

So you’d make the effort to go to an international game wearing club shirts just to bore everyone with your tiresome ‘club before country’ nonsense?

Not really an effort is it just to throw on a shirt? Way too much thought gone into it

The effort isn’t in the shirt, it’s in going to the game.

Make some sense.

Those weird creepy YouTubers that post late night videos of drunk women.

Yes that bloke who goes and starts fights with drunk club goers reminds me of this

Do they post on here?

All about opinions…..

So what's the issue with the shirt then in that case? They can wear what they like

You don’t get it. Move on.

 

[SBAndy]

The audio settings on my tv. Whenever people are just speaking, quiet as hell. Turn it up so I can hear them speak and then some music comes on which is about 5x the volume.

Gladly

Going to the Chech Republic game on Tuesday at Wembley. I have a 6yo that will no dount want to wear his England shirt and his Coventry anthem jacket. Just wanted to check with the shirt police if this was allowed or not?

Been down in London for work and everytime the tube is just insufferable.

Great conveniance, terrible experience

Equal pay.... look at Benfica vs Bayern Munich right now...

Misogynistic. Wow.

Womens football is light years away from being as equal as mens football I'm afraid

I always avoid the tube.
I use the bus mainly or the overground.
Have to travel to Hackney quite often, I hop on the 30 bus outside Euston.

 

[Marty]

On the rare occasion I venture into London, I really don't mind the tube. Cheap, quick, convenient. The new line (Elizabeth line iirc) is great spacious and has AC on the carriages. Mind I use it as a tourist, bet it's a nightmare during rush hours.

It really does depend on what line you use. If you have to use the Victoria (a line I'm overly familiar with now) or the Central (a line I've been overly familiar with in the past) its a rotten experience. Some of the lines with the newer trains and/or less footfall aren't too bad.

It is! It's fun as a one-off. Any more and it's a frantic feeding frenzy

I don't understand.

It's a nonsense argument when trying to rubbish women's football. I don't think any WPL player has demanded to be paid the same as their Premier League counterparts.

It’s weird how many of them watch it and then complain about it.

 

[nightowl1883]

Biggest annoying part of the women’s game is it all the seems to be same teams as the Premier league, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City. Might watch a few more if it had Coventry in the mix.

I don't really understand why the women's game just decided to copy the structure of the men's game, it could have done its own thing and created a bit more interest that way. Instead, it's got the same top league broadly dominated by the same teams.

Exactly.
I think this story came from a call for the England women's team to be paid the same (paltry) appearance fee as the men.

This would show that the FA were serious about promoting the game to all kids, regardless of gender.

As usual, the gammons got hold of it and mocked (as they are wont to).
