sharkyvilla Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Another Pointless gripe. When contestants go on and have no knowledge of stuff like chemical elements, Presidents of the USA, countries/flags etc. Just look them up and do a bit of revision before you go on as there are always questions about them ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdington is the opposite. Its been shitified! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve worked in Moseley for 8 years, lived there for 2 years until 3 weeks ago and have spent a lot of my adult life there. It’s **** shite and I’ll never understand why it has the great reputation that it does. Full of stuck up ex hippy types gorging on quinoa, service users, old money, the worried well and drunk tramps in the centre bus stop island bit. Shops are piss poor too apart from Dama Cena. Dark Horse is ok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know zero about science and when the elements question came on I hit a blank. My wife then called me a dick as I had spent the entire day yesterday on a course for software called Selenium. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People complain about areas like Moseley being gentrified and becoming too expensive to live... Erdington is the opposite. Its been shitified! I did a world tour of bits of the midlands this week. With stop offs at: Bromsgrove Kings Heath Dudley Market Harborough Wellingborough Fair to say I saw a broad selection of types of people and places. The stand out experience being the good people of Wellingborough who mostly appear to be slightly aggressive out patients. I had a suit on, some people took offence at this and presumed I was from the government Which weirdly, is the second time that's happened. I rarely wear a suit, my job doesn't usually lend itself to wearing suits. But I wore one in Wolverhampton back before Christmas and a guy marched straight up to me and asked if I was 'with the government?'. When I told him I wasn't, he insisted I was. I had to walk off a bit sharpish. So I've now found two towns where wearing a suit marks you out as a government official. Wolverhampton and Wellingborough. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Pissing down all day today in Majorca. Wednesday was alright, it’s been a bit crap outside of that. I’m also getting sick of the taste of beer. Bad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I used to live down the road from Wellingbrough. I don't think there's a single sizable town in Northamptonshire that isn't mostly populated by aggressive, delinquents, but Wellingbrough is particularly bad. Northamptonshire is what happens to an area that's historically been propped up by a single industry that has since **** off abroad. Few professional jobs, , no investment, poor to non-existent infrastructure, and most people with aspiration get the **** out at the first opportunity.

I always take the Mick out of my mate, who lives in Stockton on Tees, about it being the kind of place, where you get started on if you're not wearing trainer. "Ooh, look at you in your shoes.
