rjw63 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 The "viewers" that complained about McEnroe and Sue Barker supporting Boris Becker during the tennis coverage. First day on air ffs and some sad **** Spunktrumpets with such a nice easy life that they get offended by anything and everything have to pipe up. We've got crippling energy prices, Ukraine war, women's rights being decimated in USA and these words removed are "offended" because two ex tennis players feel sorry for their mate? Just hurry up and die you menstrual waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could literally have closed down the tournament as some umpires and more importantly the racket stringers were all on the wrong visas. However, given that the racket stringers job was deemed to be specialised they could have replacements from the Uk and these had been flown in especially from (I think) Japan. If we'd followed the letter of the law (so to speak) they could have been arrested/detained and removed from the UK forthwith. There may have been a little bit of a backlash though so as you can imagine they were allowed to stay. So we literally couldn't have closed it down. Damn.

Ingram85 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just the lack of morals and accountability in life, companies getting away with stuff. Only a small fry example but Cathedral City have just been heavily fined for pumping shite into local rivers and killing wildlife then miraculously a few days later a new shiny ‘look how great we are’ advertisement campaign begins. You just know they got a heads up about the verdict and fine early on to give themselves enough time to create the adverts too. Messed up. I bet the majority see the adverts and a very small minority read the news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Why is there always some clearing in the woods who walks too close to the revolving glass door at the QE and makes it stop? I'm praying that, one day, said clearing in the woods carries on walking and face plants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 1, 2022 'Excited for' (an event), e.g. "I'm excited for Christmas". No you're not, you're excited about Christmas. (You can be excited for a person, i.e. excited on their behalf - "I'm excited for the kids, they're going to love Christmas"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
