  • Getting home looking forward to some Neville/Carragher punditry on MNF, only to find Troy Deeney in the studio in place of Neville.
  • Flashing flood lights at St Mary's pre kick-off. That's just not football.

    Being sent by work to do a two minute pitch at an event... In Cardiff. Only a 9 hour round trip.

    Be the hardest I've worked for two minutes of action without putting on lynx java, kickers and a Ben Sherman. (Yes, I haven't been on the pull since the 90s)

    With the cost of fuel, toll & refreshments I'd had thought it not worth the fecking cost of going. Grow some & tell your boss where to go nrxt time.

    You are describing exactly the uniform of me and my scumbag mates the night of princess Diana demise. We were at big hand moes, I can smell the joop, I can hear mark morrisons nasal croon, see everyone else dressed exactly the same!
  • The Company I work for being purchased for £4.3bn!!

    (2) and more importantly, they could have purchased Charlton for bloody cheaper than that!!

    I remember upgrading from the bomber I'd bought from "Winners" (5 year) "closing down sale" on Orpington high street to a puffa jacket from Topman Bromley.

    Felt like I had entered the big time and may have even given my gold hooped earring an extra polish and French crop a further swab of wet look gel that day. Good times.

    My hair looked like Lego hair the amount of gel I had to put in it, just to get the nice spike at the front. My hair didn't allow for curtains.

    Sometimes I'd play it cool with a Naf Naf jacket and a spliffy top. Proper rascal.

    Edit... Actually think that jacket went better with an Ellesse jumper
  • When the lock on the toilet door snaps in your hand after locking it and you've left your phone on your desk.

    I've spent 2 hours trapped, having to sporadically wave my arms around to keep the lights on, waiting patiently for one of my colleagues to need the toilet and free me.

    And you can't even look at Pornhub to while away the time.

    How did you post this?! Or was this once you'd been freed?

    I was freed just after 1pm. Had to eat a sandwich to recover.

    That's why it's called a trap.

    Many years ago the toilet seat broke at my work and I ended up sitting in the pan. In those days we had to complete a health and safety report for every minor incident. These usually concluded with the same bland statement, 'the officer was advised to take more care in future'. In this case my manager signed off it with, 'the officer was left up shit creek without a paddle'.
  • How come more and more people are saying 'jail' when they surely mean 'prison'. Isn't jail an american term for a prison? When did it change? Is it monopoly's fault as I think that says jail? I may be wrong and both could be acceptable, but it really grates me.

    "cultural appropriation"

    This is my biggest gear grinder at the moment.

    There's a video of a young woman verbally attacking a young lad Corey Goldstein for his dreadlocks.

    Dreadlocks somehow fit her view of cultural appropriation.

    Though they have been worn by the black community throughout history, they were regular features of nations worldwide since the dawn of man. Celts had them, Nordic Vikings were known to have had them. Before these I can almost guarantee cave men had them as they could not brush or wash their hair.

    Cultural Appropriation is first and foremost a sign of respect. That's it.
    White people with dreadlocks deserve all the abuse they get.

    Why would you want them? they're dirty.
    I'd have them given the choice. It save me a fortune in holiday hats.
    Not necessarily mate. Early this year, I spent time on holiday with someone who bought 2 holiday hats AND got her hair braided. And bought 2 headscarves as well, and a baseball cap (and a lamp, a weird ornament, some fridge magnets, 2 moody handbags and a new suitcase, but that's not really relevant to this discussion).

    All I'm saying is, just because you do one ridiculous thing to your head, that doesn't preclude you from putting other stupid things on it during the course of the same holiday.
    Be fair tho, she let you do all sorts to her as well, best of all, we got to read about it for days

    No need to get all "Old Kent Road" about it Suzie. Relax and light up a Mayfair or Marlborough.

    Jail means prison. Its old English form is gaol, both words being derived from mediaeval French, either gaiole or jaiole, so there's no need to be irritated.
