Last Christmas I ordered £150 worth of presents off Amazon, and they sent me (and charged me for) everything twice. I called them to complain, citing an error on their part, but the guy insisted that it *must* have been my error. Of the 14 items, 13 could luckily all be returned by taking to a local shop that would print the label for me. But the last one needed me to print it myself, and I couldn’t be bothered to connect up my printer (in a cupboard, last used probably 10 years ago when home printers were a thing, not compatible with my Mac so I’d need to dig out my 10 year old laptop too), and also I wasn’t in the office at the time because our household had covid. So, to resolve my complaint of me not being able to easily return an unwanted second pair of pinking shears (posh sewing scissors, for those not in the know) their resolution… was to refund me for the scissors and send me a 3rd pair free of charge

I think it’s great. I could see me wearing that

What is your favourite month, from month 1-12 in a year. Answer by holding up that number of fingers

The eyes in those comics really bug me. I get they’re trying to make that their unique style, but it just looks crap, doesn’t it?

As Jordan said on TS, you can’t always plan your exit. What if he’s had his fill in 3 years but no one wants to pay what he wants for his share? Does he just stay there with even less of a role, but making cuts left right and centre to try to claw back some money to make up the difference in what someone might offer him

Gibson. I got it second hand off a mate and paid about £500 i think, but just assumed it was around that price range. Unless I’m really dialling into the wrong sound, it sounds like utter turd through an amp simulator though. My Squire tele just sounds so much more …. crisp.

Flook - Haven Accidentally discovered Flook on radio 3 when my wife was channel hopping in the car. Loving it

Same here, 1918 built house. As well as the cold, expensive winter and cool summer, I get the added bonus of my office being in a loft conversion with south facing velux windows that basically cook me alive. As I’m ditching my trips to the office because of the train strikes next week, I fully expect to die of roasting.

*VT gathering at the lapal_fan house* Everyone: “NO-ONE mention those **** rocks to him, for Christ’s sake”

I have a Gibson Les Paul Gothic. Nothing amazing but I imagine it’s a 500/600 quid guitar, but I use my £139 Squire tele to record with because it sounds so much better. I’m probably doing something wrong

Moxley has posted an interesting thread on Twitter where he essentially downplays Bassini’s involvement and actually says this new ownership is a good thing (based on investment/ sorting the ground/ and interestingly, Craig Gardner’s role in it), I’m hoping someone who’s more up-to-speed on it all can call BS on his thoughts!

I’d like to see that one in an unedited photo. The sky looks sepia on that pic, but everything else, except for the shirt, looks relatively unedited… so I can’t figure out whether that’s what the shirt actually looks like

Unpopular opinion (in Other Football), I find the ‘mate’ stuff really boring in the small heath thread

Do they claim to not pay big fees? What I always see from them is that their spend/net spend isn’t that much (relatively, for a team that runs alongside Man City at the top), and I tend to agree with that. When they do spend big they seem to get it right, unlike other clubs who splash big money on flops (benchwarmer Jackie, Sancho etc etc)

Most small heath fans probably think liquidate is a type of fruit smoothie

So you’re saying there isn’t a local bus to the Big Bang?! Well twist my nipple and call me Deirdre. Not even the number 9?! Faith in science gone. Bring me the books. (Only joking, I’m an atheist, thank god)

Boubs out!

Annoying innit? A bit like when your first was born and I think you started every post on VT for the next 8 months with “as a new dad..”

So the lesson is, when the first club comes to get you from Villa, f^%#*#g run!

Boubs Out! (stolen from someone on VT a few weeks ago)

My 20-month-old can say a load of fruits and vegetables reasonably well*, but for cucumber he says “cumbercap”. We can even ask him to say it in parts “cu”, “cum”, “ber”, then when we say it all together he repeats “cumbercap” *I know this sounds like a humble brag, but I’m not meaning it to! He’s 20 months so can’t talk for shit, but I wanted to make this point to emphasise why ‘cumbercap’ is funnier!

When you put it like that, it’s almost a shame we got rid of Pissy for £100m

Woah £7m, that’ll fund Haaland’s agent fee then

I literally have no idea who their owners are, other than reading the comments from the last 2 pages on this thread. Most people probably don’t read up on every team they decide to make a comment on, based on football romance.
