Football pitches....whats the fascination of having the grass pitch end centimeters away from the whitewash and having astroturf around the edge

To stop grass wear & tear and allow the artificial strip to be used as a warm up area?

Americanisms creeping into football terminology. Just heard Gary Lineker refer to Mauricio Sari as “Chelsea’s head coach”. What’s all that about, what happened to them just being the manager? Seeing it a lot these days!

I've never got that, 800k on a flat in a city or a big nice country house.

I can never see why somebody who doesn’t have to live in the London area lives there. Why would a doctor live and work in London when he could work in Carlisle for roughly the same money and live like a king

Not sure that’s an Americanism rather the change in responsibilities where a manager now doesn’t have complete control over the running of the club and there are various teams specialising in different skills. There’s an argument that itself is an Americanism.

Indeed, but the demand for doctors is far higher in London.

I just picked doctors you could replace with policeman fireman etc

 

[Gazolba]

people jumping in the air when having photos taken. Especially those with knees bent/feet kicking etc. Assholes.

People (seems to be mostly young women) sticking their tongues out when having their photo taken.
Can't undertstand why anyone would do it.

People taking part in late evening cycle races who think they dont need lights
Just because you have your lycra on - doesn't mean you can be seen

14 year olds who start their first day at a new school and instead of getting THE 16.33 as instructed, just get any 16.33 and end up in Leicester!!

Grrrr!!

One of her friends also got lost in New Street station, completely puzzled as to why it wasn't London Euston!

What are they teaching them at school these days?

Two days ago, my daughter was talking about the Editors song 'Munich' and asked me what a Munich was.

Geography's her favourite academic subject, but she doesn't know where anywhere is.

furry characters (often at holiday hotels, restaurants etc).

Oh look, here comes Thomson the fucking dog* - isn't he lovely. Why not go and give him a high-5? Oh look, there's a competition to have breakfast with Thomson the fucking dog, lets enter that. Oh look, there's a Thomson the fucking dog meal (nuggets & chips) - I bet you want that.

Every kid knows its just a sweaty paedo in a dog-suit. They're only playing along to keep you happy. The kids themselves think its shit and would much rather be treated like an adult instead of a fucking idiot.

*other similar fuckwit furry characters are available.

To go slightly off topic we had a 4 or 5 apprentices at my last place of work who all had decent GCSE grades and were doing a college course that was an alternative to A-Levels.

Could not believe how poor their basic education was. Some of then literally struggled with reading and writing and these were the ones with decent grades!

you think that's bad ..you could pay £30,000 a year each for your kids education one of whom got an a level in history and neither of them had heard of Isambard Kingdom Brunel..
well worth the money

My kids were shit scared of these things when they were younger. Some of the less known holiday camps had some scary characters so I can’t blame them!

In Nuneaton yesterday and the amount of people moaning about the race being held there! Fucking annoying me so much, even if you aren’t a cyclist you can appreciate what it would do for the town but I guess you always have miserable fuckers everywhere

Did it stop them getting their giro before Wetherspoons?

giro d'italia?

Not likely nothing stops that

Surprised Cash Converters wasn't full of racing bikes that morning.

I went to Queen's Road the other week, just watched the world go by for about 10 minutes and fucking hell what a state.

Pisses me off when they have racing cars round the ring road, it attracts the worst kind of petrol heads.
But its only a couple of days, mehhhhh I just avoid town.

BRITAIN annoys the crap outta me!
I spent last week driving around Holland and Belgium, and made a few observations.
1) European people are so much more polite, on the whole.
2) Europe is MUCH cleaner than the UK. The motorway verges in Holland are spotless.
3) Civic pride. Every village I drove through was very well maintained. All grass verges mowed, and generally well maintained.
4) Driving. Europeans to roadworks in 1-2 mile stretches and actually have people working on them. In Britain, we close 15 miles of lanes off, and there are 2 people working.
5) Health and safety. In Britain we seem to implement every European regulation to its fullest extent, which either makes life difficult, or sucks the fun out of everything. In Europe they are a lot more relaxed. For example,.in Centre Parcs UK, there is some twat blowing a whistle at you every 2 minutes, if you so much as look like you might go down a water slide in an 'unauthorised' position. In Europe, they just let you get on with it. If you want to go down 5 at a time, feel free.


Can't help feeling that if Britain ran itself more like the rest of Europe, the Brexit debate wouldn't happen.

people that moan about everything in Europe being better than it is in Britain layful:

The thing that annoys me is the 'nothing can be done about it' attitude we seem to have here. Be it increases in crime, trouble on Friday and Saturday night from pissheads or anything else the response you hear most often is 'its like that everywhere', but then you go abroad and you see that's not true unless you got somewhere with loads of Brits.

If you think Europe is friendlier, you clearly have never been to France.

Friendly when you actually get to know them, but at first they can be very rude.

I've found French people in general just like anywhere I've been as friendly, toby fayre.
However, Parisian folks are a different kettle of fish, even French peeps don't like 'em!

Agree with all apart from no 5. Unfortunately we have to go OTT due to a sueing culture

Just speak slower and louder

Very much so
Have the arrogance of Cockneys in London

Much better befriending the non native community
Have worked in Paris many times over forty years and always been well looked after in any place we've frequented
Even in some of the less celibrious suberbs
