If my wife doesn't get a card from our dogs she'll genuinely go in the huff with me. Same with her birthday. Was moaning about game on Sunday but with it being a later kick off I've talked her round. If it had be earlier, nightmare.

Doesn't get a card "from your dogs"?!? Like a birthday card written presumably by you but as if it's from your dogs?!?

I think I'm misunderstanding something TBF 😅

For me, currently it's the word "winningest" and "he's come up clutch" in sports commentary. Just American bollocks, pure and simple.

"The streets will remember..."

WTF is all that about?

Further evidence that I'm clearly getting auld, which is my main peeve.

Followed by a pretty well known player (or music artist etc) from about 15 years ago at most as if 2008 was some far off era dominated by whooping cough and outdoor lavvies.

Nope, your right 🙃.

You must be getting auld, it’s “the streets will never forget”! And the only person fitting of it is Adel Taarabt. What a pler.

The Evening News reporting on a cafe/restaurant/shop being "beloved" when it closes down, WTF.

Folk that superset at the gym at a busy time and basically reserve several bits of equipment at once. I don't mind if they have a kettlebell or a dumbbell and use that between sets on a resistance machine but sometimes it is multiple resistance machines all being reserved at once.

There was an even more annoying variation on this at my gym last night. There was a girl who wasn't supersetting but reserving the next machine she wanted to go on. So for example, she was on the shoulder press machine and her towel and water were on the lat pull machine seat. She finished the shoulder press, moved the bottle and towel to the chest press machine and went on the lat pull machine and so forth this went on. I was very tempted to either remove the bottle and towel and go on the machine or try sneak in to the machine she was about to go on when she was mid-moving the bottle and towel.

Regarding the barking dog, simply do what I do and lift the dog into your own back garden and then go back indoors, see how your neighbour likes it.

Getting old, ever notice that the older you get you start to feel like an old car, one thing goes, then the next, then the next. Get something fixed and another thing goes South

Would love to be transported back to my bullet proof youth where I had never heard of a Drs Surgery 🤢

Testify brother, thread closed!

[danhibees1875]

Perhaps this now belongs in the things that give you pleasure thread due to a satisfiability ending but selling a house - time waster viewers, sales falling through due to things that should/could have been anticipated... finally got a part exchange offer from our next development which allows for us to make the move though.

Virgin Media. I'm out of contract. I went on their website last night to see what deals I could get. I had to log into my account. Clicked on a deal to see what was included this was listed at "step 2 of 3". Didn't fancy it, so closed it down. I've now received an email with a contract. Changing buggers. I'll now have to phone them and wait in a queue for ages.

I agree with a lot of this list but to be fair to both the BBC and Glastonbury, they have a deal where the BBC get to cover the festival exclusively and Glastonbury get the coverage*. Essentially the BBC aren't advertising the festival, as that would be against their own rules but they will advertise their coverage of the festival. Eavis could easily sell the rights to Glasto coverage to a commercial media service but choses the BBC so it is on non-subscription TV and the BBCs coverage of the event is excellent across their various services.

* There has been FOI requests put into the BBC to see the details of the cost of Glastonbury, which would include any payment to Eaves for the coverage but it has been ruled to be outwith FOI Act as it would place the BBC at a commercial disadvantage to their non public service competitors. But we know the BBC invest a lot of resources into the coverage across their radio/TV and online services (Glastonbury is far and away their most successful digital programming). Eaves has never stated he gets a payment for the coverage from the BBC but you'd need to assume he does, I doubt that would comes close to what he could get if the rights were auctioned off onto commercial media as it still remains one of the best music and arts festivals in the world.

People that get **** faced on planes and act like Fanny's. Airline should have a duty of care to stop serving said individual. The guy had five bottles of wine and five rums on a 3.5 hr flight

Ah you cant beat that holiday feeling 😁

I suppose its down to tolerance, Ive had many a “scoop” on a plane going a similar journey and wasnt drunk or being a dick, I enjoy a few as it relaxes me and then I pop on my headphones and chill out. Nowadays its coffee if I fly anywhere

A few years ago I had a pleasant wee Glaswegian lady sat beside me and she bought half the drinks trolley and more, I wasnt worried about her being a drunk old radge, I was more worried she would leave me nowt on the trolley 😁

Trouble is they will probably kick off at being told 'no'. Happened to a guy on my flight to Thailand last year. He was basically asking for a beer every time a member of staff went past. Eventually they said no and he caused an even bigger scene.

Getting banned from promotions and free games on Virgin Bet... ah sorry lads, did you not turn me into the problem gambler like you wanted?

(I'm a bit conflicted on this one to be fair, they're a business and have identified me as someone who just takes there's freebies and spends nothing... but they offer them up and that's their choice. Would Costco ban me if I go there every week, take a free sample and leave?).

I genuinely enjoyed by daily fives player and checking if they'd scored at the weekend, my wife played too and we'd compare teams etc. Generally I'd be wanting on some defender from West Ham scoring for 50p or something which would have no bearing on their profits.

It's really poor from an industry that is completely devoid of morals. The wee games and free bets are chicken feed to them and the fact that they exclude people because they don't turn into gamblers just say tells you how much interest they have in the person using them.

They do. If cabin crew see you are drunk you won't get any more or refused boarding if still on the ground.

'Why should I give money to Comic Relief, it all just gets spent in Africa anyway, we should look after our own first'.

Firstly it's factually incorrect. Secondly it's said by the type of people who don't do anything to help anyone; 'our own' or otherwise.

The BBC licence advert saying that it's needed to watch over 400 Live tv channels.

Last time I looked the BBC has 4 tv channels.
