Seriously, I'm married to a Devon lass, and so is one of my best (Brummie) mates. When we get together, the four of us continually take the piss out of our own accents. Don't worry, I know you didn't mean anything by it. It's just one of those things that always annoys me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be like two kid's arguing that they're fatter and uglier than the other. We both lose. Haha, no, no.. we won't argue about that! We all know the West Country accent is the shittest, thickest, wankest accent! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Ordered a shirt from Villa online shop two days ago, £4.95 delivery in 2-4 business days and a 99p handling charge. Estimated delivery now 29th March. How can they charge a fiver extra for snails pace delivery. Worse than ordering from Sports Direct I buy one every year for my lads collection for when he grows up. Might drive to the shop next year, if its still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this huge tank of a guy coming in and just generally looking intimidating as ****. He then asked me if I knew this thing that had been going round in his head. I expected it to be some crap pop-rap stuff which I wouldn't know, causing him to lamp me, but it turns out it was Vangelis Conquest of Paradise. I recognised it and found it for him. He had the biggest grin ever. Good times. YOU ARE HIM!!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason she pronounces is SharLOT, with a heavy emphasis on the LOT. I don't know why she does it and I don't know why it annoys me but it does. There's a road in the centre of Liverpool called Great Charlotte St Scousers of a certain age call it Sharlotty St Grates every time I hear it.

rjw63 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Had to repaint the guest room, which entailed moving everything out, including around 1000 lps. Bought a new Kallax unit for extra space, now the records are back in the cubes but all over the **** place alphabetically. Could be a long weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2023 Pissing about with both my new and old broadband providers because the new one didn’t inform the old one that I was leaving (despite them assuring me in both a letter and an e-mail that they would contact them on my behalf). I will be charged an extra month from my old provider (after I did what my new provider said they would do). My new provider will reimburse me, but **** me it took way too much effort to get this sorted. The beginning of a beautiful new friendship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they do it because they think it sounds posh (they're quite well-to-do Oxbridge folk). It really annoys me and my wife. But it really, REALLY annoys our daughter who always tries to correct them. She tells them off and they manage to say it properly a few times but quickly revert back to SharLOT.

It being a new line so they didn’t need to tell my existing provider. Or something. They just didn’t bother to tell me that. Look at us, some men bond through war. But in our case, instead of fighting in ‘Nam, our kinship is flourishing this year by us turning 40 together and being ****ed around by Vodafone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Just saw a Google news story about foul slapper Katie Price. Now considering her last court appearance had added woe - is-me regarding her being bankrupt, I'm shocked and stunned not only to see her cavorting in a pool in Thailand, but she's also found the cash to have yet another plastic surgery on her gargantuan (no longer) fun bags. It now looks like she has two mishapen zeppelins grafted to her ribcage. Someone somewhere must be telling the thick scutter she looks hot. Probably Stevie Wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I had a very bad experience with Vodafone which led to me losing all composure and becoming completely out of character when raging at a call centre operative. Vowed never to use them again. Sorry if anyone has just joined them. Hopefully they have improved by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
