If I run the hot tap on my kitchen mixer for a length of time then turn it off and try and turn on the cold tap then I can’t budge it until it has cooled down. The heat from the very hot tap must expand the cold fitting so much that it won’t turn. Is this a common mixer tap issue?
But by your reasoning if you've no ties to it you can't be a big fan of the game?Quote:

I love the game. I know the game inside out and I find the Superbowl annoying because of all the tin pot pretend fans. So if that's your issue crack on ha.

This is maybe an age thing but there must be a big generation who got into NFL when Channel 4 started broadcasting it in the eighties.Quote:

I think a lot of people got into it because it was new, brash, vivid, exciting and different. The C4 coverage was good and explained the game well.
I am sure I am not the only person who hears Frankie Goes To Hollywood ‘Two Tribes’ or Prokofiev ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and doesn’t visualise Jerry Rice taking a forty-yard catch or Walter Payton making first down from 3rd and 5 :greengrin
Folk that say “super” to emphasise a feeling.
For example.....”I am super excited to let you know” or “I am super delighted to tell you” or “I am super thrilled to announce”.
WTF.
When you ask a group of people to do something a specific way, but one of them does it a different way because it's easier for them, with no thought to either the consequences or the fact there was probably a reason they were asked to do it in a specific way in the first place!

The great irony is that the people who use the phrase are arguably the best example of the, now generally accepted, definition of the insult. Someone disagrees with them and they get irrationally upset, throw a bit of a hissy fit and resort to childish name calling.
I can't remember when or why it entered the popular lexicon but it was essentially a throw away quote that originated in a book from a quarter of a century ago, incidentally coming from a character who was obsessed with his lack of masculinity and poor sexual performance. Now it's the go to 'insult' for right wing nutjobs, self appointed alpha males and the sort of people who just parrot things they have heard other people saying.
Agreed. Basically as soon as I see anyone use that term in a debate/argument, as far as I'm concerned they've lost the debate/argument.Quote:

Food allergy bandwagon jumpers, your either allergic to certain food types or you’re not, it’s not a ****** trend that you can change to suit your mood!
The BBCs absolute obsession with awards ceremonies. The Oscars coverage at the moment is quite staggeringly OTT. Breaking news my arse.

People that give a play by play commentary through a movie.

"Coronavirus Influencers"
My pet peeve here could be any/ all from the word "influencer", to the narcissism of Instagram, to Instagram itself, right up to what 99% of people under the age of 35 are turning society into.
Absolute ****s of the highest order and I'd love nothing more than the Coronavirus to take a 28 Days Later turn and wipe out these ****s, that's a ****ing "story" or selfie I'd use Instagram to see.
I loathe influencers with a passion, literally the worst group of self indulgent, arrogant numpties I've ever come across.Quote:
