(That incident is obviously much more than a pet peeve but I use it as an extreme example of the mad kind of people who deflect the obvious blame).
A London peeve are people who board a train or tube before everyone is out of the doors. Very nippy and the source of many a push and shove (bag to nuts is always a handy option)Quote:

The use of the word "so" when not required. E.g. "That's so not cool."
There's an advert for aftershave just now with the phrase -
"what makes the ocean, makes the man"
What? That just doesn't mean anything. Nonsense.

Anyways, back to the thread....
Is there not a recognised difference between gender and sex? Sex being anatomical and gender being concerned with social and cultural behaviours and actions based on the sex.Quote:

Sex = Anatomical
Gender = Socially constructed
Apparently anyway.
When I was a lad, gender had naff-all to do with sex. It was a means of classifying nouns. There are 4 genders in those terms, Masculine, Feminine, Common and Neuter.Quote:

You cant have it both ways, complaining about better and bigger clubs taking your players to improve their team and theyn going out and doing the same thing to smaller teams. Thats football.
On the flip side though ..how often do you hear the celtic hierarchy bleating on about there being no competition in Scottish football ..perhaps one of the reasons being that its because they do snap up the best available talent ..:agree:Quote:

As I've said before, Celtic (and formally RFC) act like the spoilt brat in the nursery who wants ALL the toys.
The methadone queue of gaunt wasted oxygen thieves I regularly see.
They dont even play them? That is a bit of a myth from the old days is it not! Maybe years ago this happened. I'm sure Darius Adamcuk (sp) signed for the old rangers and they never played him but lately they all get a game. Correct me if I am wrong but I cannot think of a player who has moved from a team in Scotland to Celtic who hasn't had a regular game? Griffiths, Stokes, Mckay-Steven, Armstrong, Brown, Mulgrew. I can think of Zaluska but he was never going to be first choice.Quote:
