The MOTD commentator continually referring to Chris Wood as Chris Woods. It’s on the back of his shirt you plum.

Chris Woods was Shilton's understudy goalkeeper at Forest years ago.

Probably prefers to be known as Ex England and Rangers goalkeeper really.

Groups of cyclists that you've overtaken in your car assembling in front of you at traffic lights so that when the lights turn green you are stuck behind the selfish twats for half a mile before the road opens up enough to safely pass them again.
Times like that I really miss the filthy clouds of black acceleration smoke from my old diesel X type

Glad I’m not the only one. He would have been liked playing in the eighties when shorts were short.

I play with someone at Goals who regularly does that. Been meaning to ask why. Must be a reason.

MrWalker

Thin toilet paper.

What's the point?
Everyone just takes more and folds it over.

Depending on the type of shorts I would do the same, didn't like the feeling of them on my thigh as I ran, some kind of pull. It became a habit. One season my Sunday side had shorts that I have not played in since that almost felt papery and were great, I didnt muck around with them but the polyester, stretchy ones they would get pulled up at the thigh

I know the answer to this having asked the same to a former employee of Kimberly Clark at Northfleet. Single ply is substantially cheaper to manufacture and there you have it

Sorry Carter but no, I don’t have it.
Kimberly Clark can feck right off.

It’s a false economy. 

In my casa, we use a sponge on a stick, with a handy bucket. 

Single ply toilet paper is the work of the recycled paper devil.

And you have the expense of buying a nail file after your finger has gone through it.

A fair trade! 

I believe the 'bum gun' to be the future, one of my chums who resides in Belgium has one in their toilet and they are an excellent, economical alternative to using loads of mulched trees to cleanse ones dung funnel after defecating. I'm definitely going to get one. They are also really handy to blast any stubborn evidence where the poo gives the pan a slap on the way down

People who think the rain forests are being decimated so you can wipe your arse.

The Japanese have solved the problem. A wonderful toilet experience.

Stubbing my toe as I pulled the curtains open this morning.

The involuntary action that followed not only saw the curtain dragged to the floor but a couple of the runner brackets pulled from the wall 

I just dunno why I didn't let go of the curtain, and without the use of VAR I never will  .

Been without water since 8am this morning. Massive issue impacting whole of se9 and some. Huge burst main on foostray Road. 

Fuck all being done about it by Thames Water one empty van been parked next to it all day and a couple of sandbags out.  Apparently they are too short staffed to deliver bottled water to even the vulnerable people on their priority list. Every shop in any direction has sold out completely. It's all a pisstake and I haven't showered since yesterday. Can't run the heating. The toilet hasn't been flushed and using hand sanitiser instead of washing my hands has fucked up my skin.

And literally all the meals we have planned and shopped for this week require water to cook.

Articles like this which promise an update on an injury, but instead tell you that there will be an update on the injury once they've had a scan tomorrow... I mean, what's the point the article?!

Getting flash forwards to the impending climate crisis. Queues of people at the water fountain near the station waiting to fill up whatever receptacle they can get their hands on.

JaShea99

Surely there’s a supermarket you can drive to to stock up?!

Solidgone

Or just order bottles of water on Amazon.

We have all we need for drinking and essentials etc. It's jut the frustration of hand washing and teeth cleaning from bottled water not being able to shower, flush the toilet, run the dishwasher, cook, do a wash etc. Just a whole day disrupted.

Also the attitude of Thames Water to their customers without water. They haven't provided the bottled water they say to their own priority list of vulnerable customers so we've been sorting out a few neighbours. Ofwat say they're supposed to provide 10 liters per person per day to everyone without supply but no sign of that. And the lack of information. They've been telling us that supply will be restored any time now since about 11am. Just tell us its not gonna happen for a while and we can make arrangments. Could have gone to my in laws after work and stayed the night...

Algarveaddick

They can't afford to pay anyone to pass out water to the sick and elderly when they have other priorities...

Thames Water are among the worst utilities for this sort of thing, @Algarveaddick has posted a perfectly timed link to rightly inflame everyone. A fair few of my mates work for Thames Water and the abject jealousy senior management have over what the people doing the actual work earn is hilarious. Same with my employers, at every juncture rights, terms and conditions, pay, working hours are eroded yet the bonuses for the wankers responsible and accountable keep going up. Thames Water are hugely in the shit with money, this is another issue with having an essential utility in the hands of large scale investors who rightly expect a dividend on their investment. That investment should be used to build and maintain the water network, both drinking water and foul/sewage but its not as proven by @cantersaddick post. Water companies, same as gas companies have the resource to provide auxiliary water as SGN have the resource and equipment to keep people warm, difference is SGN will pay people to do it whereas Thames Water pay their back office staff sod all and reap the rewards of that and have a really high turnover of low paid unmotivated people one or several of whom have probably just not dispatched anyone to provide the bottled water 

MrOneLung

I don’t know why Canters can’t just drink tea and coffee temporarily instead of water 

iaitch

Can't he dilute what he's got to make it go further?

IdleHans

Or buy some dehydrated water 

Solidgone

Or just buy cans of Stella?

I'd suggest Coors Light as that is similar to water.
