Things that annoy you (34 Viewers)

Yeah, although it might only be interesting to us right?

Depends on the quality of the ‘content’ or more likely just how the voices sound which is all that seems to matter.

I can’t say that I listen to too many (any) football podcasts. Listened to Athletico Mince for a while.
The ones I’ve heard seem really rather dull.

Not your problem.
I'd just leave

Think it may have reached that point. Especially as the former manager seems to have been spreading lies to head office etc about multiple things and is still influencing things from a different branch.

It's a shame as I generally enjoy both my job and everything else. However, I'm not having them take the piss with both money and "issues" that are not mine or our branche's fault.

That never seems to worry people who make podcasts. I dread to think how much the BBC spends on football-related podcasts that only a handful of people will listen to, and for which the presenters will get paid a small fortune. "My mate the footballer" starring Callum Wilson and Joe Wilkinson. Seriously??
The football top ten podcast with Shearer, Lineker and Micah Richards. Total pointless shit!

Think people would be in for a shock if the BBC released figures for how many people listen to these. There's people making huge money off shit podcasts, there's even podcasts doing arena tours. It's big business.

How do you even make money as a podcaster is it all merch and sponsorships? Linekars company seems to be doing well but I don’t understand the economics of it all.

I was also recently described as garrulous.

Had that written on my report at secondary school, think it was for English but in all honesty it could have been all of them

Good lad. I was saying the other day, as I’ve gotten older i seem to be reverting back to what i was like in my school days…giving less of a shit about being judged/‘told off’ for rambling on about bollocks.

I was always talking at school and couldn't tell my son of for doing the same when it was on his school report. Even now when I'm out I will talk to anyone, my wife thinks I'm weird as she is totally opposite.

Subscriptions, advertising and referrals

Haha…it feels like we’re leading similar lives! We should never meet!

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

I've only had 1 "promotion" in my life despite always trying to work as hard as possible and 9/10 times excelling in my role.

I got a demotion and a hefty payrise for my commitment! The harder I work the lower down the ladder I get! Strange but true

My 1st year report at senior school said I was erratic. At the time I thought it was a very positive comment!

Really? Must just be me that doesn't get it!

Nah I'm with U, aswell as YouTubers and so called influencers they can go and take a walk off a cliff.

5 celebs can take 5 helicopters on multiple rides within a few miles in Australia, but we have to turn the TV off at the plug.

I just wish there was more taxes we could pay to stop global warming.

I’m sure your wish will be granted.

Snowflakes closing schools.

Snowflakes closing schools.

Are they really closing because of the snow?

Apparently so in Nottinghamshire. Snow has practically melted off my drive already. Elf n safety gone mad. Snowflakes closing the schools in two senses of the word.

I get it if the boilers broken down (don't they ever service them? It generally tends to get chilly around this time of year, every year. Will they be able to heat schools with air source heat pumps?)

We still went to school during the Big Freeze of 1962 - 63. I remember the school milk being frozen in the bottles. We used to walk to school then as we lived near enough, my parents didn't own a car anyway.

i used to walk to school in these, literally leaving prints of George best in the snow

I really hope so, it's the only solution I can see to be fair

On a serious note though, as much as people can say it's a conspiracy etc, the "Elite" are literally taking the piss out of us. We're expecting to sack off our one holiday abroad but they can get the private jet out for an hour or so drive.

You can pay as many taxes in the UK as you like, it won’t stop global warming.

You are right about the elite, it really is one rule for one and another for the plebs. Starmer is showing such leadership to the UK with all his jetting around. Doesn’t he know that wfh and Teams/ Zoom are more efficient and effective means if getting business done?
