Is there a reason I'm missing for posters to say the transfer window has "slammed shut"?
Kind of annoying me but then many things do 🤨

Not sure why having no interest in women's football is "misogyny". Certainly doesn't apply in my case.Quote:

It’s a total pain.
Steady. How on earth is that misogynistic ?Quote:

The neighbours 4 cats using my garden as a litter tray :gun:
You’re absolutely correct mate. Hopefully you can accept my apology, I really need to stay away from here after a few drinks.Quote:

I feel your pain, as you get older it's harder to keep it in, I drive a taxi and try not to drink too much when working, thankfully all the hotels are open for business again.Quote:

I have 2 sonic things in our small garden which go off during the night but the cats just poop behind them or away from them , I put chicken wire over the borders to try and break the habit and they used my path instead. We tried a water pistol but it's mostly overnight so we didn't catch them. Just bought a motion sensor water sprayer to try. It's costing me a fortune.Quote:

Really? I've never heard this. I'll try anything. I'm sick of shovelling up 3 or 4 *****s every morning, especially as one appears to be ill every night! I live with my 2 year old grandson and we can't let him use the garden until its checked and cleanedQuote:

It's like they think we are all a bunch of thickos who need to be spoken to on 'our level'.

Absolutely spot on. Lost count of the number of total half-wits promoted beyond their capabilities because they had a good education/degree.Quote:

I've seen her live twice and she is very different to what you get in short clips on YouTube. She is very sharp and heckler beware.Quote:

My problem with Jane Godley is her type of humour is the type that everyone knows deep down is horrendously pish but weegies force themselves to laugh their heads of at it because it's Glaswegian and therefore it HAS to be funny.
Unfortunately you cant do three or four adverts depending on intellect. In a GB population factoring in who is watching the telly, you have to go to the lowest common denominator (or Sun readers) if I can display some prejudice. The basic message is still "Dont be a dick"Quote:

Only made even worse when they call it a “Cheeky wee date night”
Aaaargghh!!! Cheeky wee anything is extremely cringeworthy. Was exclusively weedgie when I lived in Scotland but probably spreading like the virus.Quote:

Washing machine packed in. Replacement bring put in on Monday but needed a load done so took it to the laundrette.
Five quid to stick a load into a machine for a twenty minute cycle! Extortionate.

It may not always be the case, but in some instances it's because the language on the packaging will change but the date stamp stays the same.Quote:

Neighbours (especially those in apartments) who start DIY projects without giving you a heads up.
Kevin Nisbet....signed for us July 2020, rumours/talk about him from the previous January transfer window. Mentioned many hundreds of times on here and elsewhere and people STILL can't make the effort to spell his name properly.

Dog poo. Just been downstairs to get a cup of coffee but hadn’t noticed that my girlfriend had stood in dog poo on her morning walk (she hadn’t realised) and dragged all through the house. I didn’t initially notice it (as we have brown wood flooring) and I was in my bare feet. Just had to wash my feet and now my coffee is cold!
Orders that never turn up. My infrared sensor on my smart TV was broken so I ordered a new sensor. My TV has been lying on my workbench in the cellar for 6 weeks now and after several emails to the company where I placed and paid for the order, I've just been told they don't have the spare part to deliver it. ****ing fuming.
Shop staff who tell you they don’t have a particular product and have never stocked it, this is then backed up by a supervisor who tells you they have never stocked it. Adamant that I have seen it on their shelves previously I look myself one more time and find the empty space on the shelving complete with shelf edge ticket, they do sell it!!!!!!
You should have just washed your feet with water instead.Quote:

Greedy petrol stations, unfortunately my mk4 golf has to use super unleaded, went to put fuel in and the garage wanted £1.57 a litre, sane petrol at Craigleith is £1.38.
Those Sumup adverts. Oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh. **** off, twats.

Irrespective of the actual politics, it makes me stop reading their post instantly. At best it's immature; at worst it's trolling, "look at me" type behaviour that makes me think the post won't contain anything objective or insightful.
I wouldn't mind as much if the nicknames were somewhat witty. Wee Nippy, Bozo etc is just chronic though.Quote:
