villaajax Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Mentioned this before but bloody **** Steam always gives me problems with game installations. What happened to the days of simply popping the disc in and starting to play. Steam sucks, and you can't uninstall it properly.... or at least I can't "Cannot remove uninstaller" :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Discussing football or Villa with people outside VT, well more in the transfer window. If you go on VT, you realise 99% of all links are bollocks. Yet outside VT, it doesn't apply, so get comments like... "You seen who we are replacing Young with??? Etherington, can't believe it. Apparently we're going to pay £6 million for him, what a joke that is" Get it every week with whatever player has been linked to us in press the day before. I've said 2/3 times paper speculation is most likely bollocks. Never listen so now just say "yeah ..terrible" and quickly move onto another topic.

AVFC_Hitz Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Comment From Butters Have never understood why the likes of Schwarzer or Given never got snapped up by a top team. Obviously Given did eventually, but he seems set to drop down a level at a pretty low price again. I know we're not the greatest team in the world but this comment just grated my cheese somewhat.

Stevo985 Posted July 3, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sellotape is a brand name as well though. Like Pritt Stick or Tip-ex or Post-it and a lot of English people would say those Seems to happen a lot with stationery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Blue Peter have to call it sticky back plastic? There are plenty of examples of where brand names become generic terms. Some of the more famous ones would be Coke (for cola) Asprin (headache tablets) and Tipp Ex (correction fluid) but there are scores of examples. There is probably a list on the internet somewhere.

Anthony Posted July 3, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2011 When I was a kid I never made Blue Peter stuff because we didn't have sticky back plastic - we only had sellotape and I didn't realise it was the same thing. I thought they'd got one of those sheets of, erm, sticky back plastic that you used to cover your text books in, and then cut it into strips.

Aspirin is the name of the drug, I'm guessing you mean nurofen instead of ibuprofen or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
