That's it, I am no longer purchasing any trousers. Wow. Not at any point in my interactions on this site have I ever for a moment thought that @lapal_fan wore trousers, unless they were on his head of course.

I don't remember anyone queueing up to see Donatello's David. In fact, i don't remember Fodor's even mentioning any other than Michelangelo's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PriceyDownunder Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 These two guys who sit next to each other and across from me at work. One tells the other he's going to have a busy couple of months because he's going to loads of gigs. And he's also going to the races. So the other guy said "You'll need to win at the races to fund all those gigs!" And the second guy replied with something like "No I've planned it all out quite carefully so I should be fine with money" The first guy seemed to be just making small talk to pass the time, the story may have been shit but he doesn't need to be criticised about his ability to run his finances. And the second guy was just trying to make a joke. It wasn't funny but it was a shit story anyway. He should have just given him a polite laugh and shut up. What makes it worse is both guys are Villa fans so they probably both hang out on the same forum or something, and shouldn't want to annoy each other too much. Brothers in arms and all that...

Stevo985 Posted February 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2019 Guy who sits next to me is a Stoke fan so Mr Bojangles' scenario is coincidentally a shockingly similar situation to mine, but demonstrably not the same one.

sharkyvilla Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Bloody TV Licence people sent me a threatening letter through the post saying I've not got one and they're taking the final steps of the enforcement process. I moved to this flat in December and transferred my licence at the same time, I double checked it on the website and I'm registered and all paid up for another year. I can't even ring the number and speak to someone, you only get the options to talk to a robot and none of them are for 'I've already got a licence you bunch of dicks'.

rjw63 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Doing a survey, and the question: Over the last 12 months, who do you think has been the most heroic and why? Lots of options but having Divers involved with The Tham Luang cave rescue in Thailand (who I picked) next to Harry Redknapp (English football manager) W T actual F? Firstly, he's not even a manager. And secondly, heroic? Twitchy ballbag face? The most heroic thing he could do is learn to **** read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved house on November 19th, switched my licence online within a couple of days, got the threatening letter for bailiffs etc middle of January. I wonder if they just send them to everyone 2 months after they've moved house? My Mrs was stressed out about it and wanted to contact them, but like you say there is no way of doing so. I just said I hope they send the words removed round so I can give them a round of ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatAboutTheFinish Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Not sure why this upsets as much as it does but I have a real hatred of the little tags they put now put over the top of rugby scores on TV to tell you how many tries have been scored by a team. I mean who are they for? People who can't count to 4? People who aren't really watching? People who suffer short term memory loss? Or is it some device to try to engage the "Me watch rugby. Me want number 4. Me know 4 good" audience? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if the points tally has been achieved mainly via tries (rather than by drop goals and penalties) it tells you something about the tactics and balance of play, does it not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the argument but am not wholly convinced. As an example, if I had started to watch Sco v Ire yesterday at around the 15 minute mark and seen the score 3-12 (2T), any assumptions I may draw about the balance of play so far would have probably been pretty wide of the mark. Even if it was the case, how big is the coming in late market that TV graphics have to be designed with them in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffGreens Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It'll be to let people know how close teams are to getting their bonus point for scoring 5 tries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
