To be honest I could not give a flying fig if an English/British competitor does well in athletics/cycling/sailing/rowing. I'm far more inclined to follow the national team if they were doing well in a team sport even if I don't follow that sport. I know that there are team elements of the above sports but it isn't the same as, say, ice hockey, wheelchair rugby, blind football, volleyball etc. It just makes it more interesting for some reason.
Yes - I get that Fiiish, I will cheer on an individual, but team sport is more interesting for some reason.

Having thought about it, the difference between sports I will watch even if I don't follow it (hockey, wheelchair rugby, tennis etc.) and the sports I neither follow nor watch (athletics, cycling, rowing etc.) is that the latter are all basically just competitive exercising. The presence of anyone else there does not actually have a physical (although their is a psychological) impact on your own performance. At least with actual sports, you need to be competing against someone else.

In a similar vein: sport commentators who assume that everyone automatically becomes a ManU/ManC/Arsenal/Chelsea fan just because they've made it out of the group stages of some competiton.
I'm a Charlton fan first and foremost, I don't really give a toss what the abovementioned Sky4 are doing.
However, I will watch even some obscure sport like Swamp Buggy Racing if there is a chance of England or GB winning something.
...Also, when you say it's 39 degrees (celcius) and someone says "so what's that in....." and everyne sits there trying to work it out for the next 5 minutes.
Don't sound that annoying, but I gaurantee that if I said it was 102 in fahrenheit it's gonna be the same pissing carry on.
Doing a spin class then into the gym for some weights and thinking I'm a bit of an athlete. Then catching myself in the mirror and realising the fact that I'm a fat, bald 47 year old.

Make the most of it, you could be like me, well I am not fat, nor bald, but I am 70 and I wished I was only 47

People who approach the traffic lights at Shooters Hill Police Station in Well Hall Road and don’t use the Bus Lane when it is open to all traffic. Ie, after 7pm and on Sundays. They then drive up in the outside lane and try and push in. I do not let anyone in. Get in the right lane! Drive properly. Use the bus lane if it is open to you!!!!!!
And many, many more but they're just off the top of my head.......
Fair enough but i used to work with someone who had a sticker for their 8 year old childs Diabetes. Ridiculous. But if it's for someone other than the driver, you're still allowed the badge. You just can't use the spaces etc when they aren't in the car.[/quote]
Yes but to have a badge for Diabetes?[/quote]I'm only guessing, but might that be so that they can park up quickly to get some emergency sugar?[/quote]
Circulation problems can sometimes be a complication of diabetes and they could impair mobility if severe.

fans of women's football who continually ask for anyone criticising it not to compare it to the men's game, then whenever they talk about it they come out with 'well they did better than the men' or 'they show more passion than the blokes'.
Very good. I had a similar argument at work. I don't like women's football. That doesn't mean I don't respect what the England team have achieved and hats off to them for getting to the semi finals. It doesn't interest me, I've tried to watch I don't enjoy it. It's my choice. So today at work the chap who has been watching it was eulogising about them etc. I said I don't really follow it so even if they had got to the final and won, I wouldn't have cared one bit, so it would be wrong of me to join in in the celebrations etc. He was all 'that's the wrong attitude etc'
Bizarre. It's the same with rugby union. I don't like it. I think I went shopping for some new clothes the day we won the WC in 2003. No I'm not gonna sit through 80mins of a sport I don't enjoy just because it's England.
I'm just the opposite - I would watch 90 minutes of handball or elephant polo if it was England or GB in the final.
Am the same. About 2005 watched GB versus USA in softball championships on Eurosport. No commentary, just a fixed camera and a microphone picking upbthe crowd noise and sound of the game.
The 'Madbid.com' advert, I only keep watching it in the vain hope that just once a huge cartoon Rottweiler will appear and rip that bleedin' postman to bits!
Is it just the Americans doing it or don't you like the word? Like so many words that get criticised for being Americanisms (though why they should I don't understand), it is actually English.
Landlords whinging about how they have a mortgage to pay on the flat they're renting out. I've been in this place a month and already heard the landlord moan 4 times about it.
Roads where bus lane rules change every 400 yards. You know - buses only Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm then it changes to every day to 8pm before it becomes alternate Tuesdays and Fridays in months with the letter M in them.

I really DO NOT understand Northern Europeans (and the fella in question is from farkin Donny) who like it this hot.

That's definitely not aloud.

We lost.
She is ok at the horsey stuff but what the f*ck does she know about tennis? About as much as I do.
Reckon she is odds on for the Top Gear job.
Come on Beeb, give us a break from her.
I know. I'm paying it for you (and then some).
And this a bit more than 'annoy', but total scum bags who try to steal your motorcycle when you've had it less than a week.
