Never got the whole obsession with opposition fans saying how good fans are.
Every week you see the same fans saying "Best fans we have had" with a picture of the away fans. Then those fans are excited because a fan of the other team saying they were the best.
Just get a fucking room.

Made up. I seem to recall a video of him when he was younger where he spoke completely differently

Can't stand the bloke on the TV Cinch adverts. Why can't he pronounce the 't' in 'motor'? "Mow'a" - what's that?

I've noticed a lot of adverts are like it now. People who generally can't speak properly or go over the top on regional accents.

Theres a geezer on the BBC who does the voice overs to advertise up and coming programmes who speaks with what I call a deliberate "black" BBC accent and says * Casualeee at naaan fureeeee tonight on BBC 1 "
As well.as not pronouncing the letter T , the BBC and other main channels seem to think that all black people speak this way .
Then again, if you think about it there wouldn't be much point in having the likes of Clive Myrie or George Alagiah doing voiceovers would there ? They simply speak the right way.

Or maybe he just speaks like that.

Of course he does. That's why the BBC want him on. I want someone who pronounces Casualty in the right way. Is it so difficult to pronounce a T ?
Perhaps they can't find anyone .

Football commentators have been doing that for years to sound hard. Just like George Osborne did when representing his ‘northern’ (Cheshire) constituency.

First day back at work 22 months now into mandatory home working, if this is the future in my line of work I might look for a change in career.
I'm no Colin Hunt but work without being able to have a chat and a bit of a craic with your workmates is a dismal experience.

I dont think I could do it. If I did there wouldn't be as much work done.
Even just the routine of it all too.

Virgin Media coming at me with an increase of over 10% per month. You can get fucked Branson.

Sky tried similar, we were being charged £37pm last Feb and it crept up since and was eventually going to top out at £72 next month. I contacted them to cancel and they offered me £56 and then £48 which was the very lowest they could after speaking with their manager/putting me on hold and counting to 30. I was actually quite happy to cancel so wasn't bothered, magically they were then able to put it back down to the Feb 21 price. It'd be great if there were any companies who didn't want to do this whole charade every time

Yes I've done the same thing with Virgin for a couple of years. Now though I'm just gonna switch to broadband only. We really don't need TV anymore when we mainly watch Netflix and Disney plus. Also have prime. Part of the increase means that we can leave at no cost so going to £25 a month broadband with Sky down from £87 with virgin.

If you're actually willing to drop the service and leave it must come through in your voice, there have been times I've been angling for a sweet deal and never got it but was quite happy this time to ditch the lot and just get one of those Freeview HDR boxes instead.

Yeah, would be good if the government outlawed that so everyone could get the best deal.

I did check that while on the phone and found that if I left and came back as a new customer I'd get everything they've offered me but cheaper than 'the best price they could do', absolute scam

I like it when people do ring me at work and say they are going to cancel because it's cheaper elsewhere. "OK I will cancel this for you"
A lot of the time they shit themselves.
