sexbelowsound Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 People who support teams from different ends of the country to where they were born and live pretending that local rivalries mean something to them.For example, A London born and bred Man Utd fan hating Liverpool and Man Citeh because, you know, its the done thing.I was once in a pub, watching Liverpool vs Man Utd, and sat pissing myself laughing at a group of fans (a mix of both), talking like they were from Salford and Toxteth. They all had broad North East accents. I could barely hide my contempt. It's something i've hated for a long time but I was listening to TalkSport earlier and it infuriated me. Andy Goldstein, in his broad London accent was asked which goal he would liked to have scored. His reply was Eric Cantona's goal in the F.A Cup final because it was against Liverpool.I'm sure it means a hell of a lot to you pal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpid Posted November 2, 2015 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2015 The fact that Villa Talk itself asks me to correct the spelling of Villan every time i type it.That's your browser, not VillaTalk.

Popular Post dAVe80 Posted November 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2015 *Sigh* First Iggy Pop, then Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, and now Willem Dafoe. I used to like and respect them all, and enjoyed their work. Now they're selling me car insurance, satellite TV, more car insurance, and broadband."Here's the deal, folks: You do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call, forever. End of story. Okay? You're a corporate ******* shill, you're another whore at the capitalist gang-bang, and if you do a commercial, there's a price on your head, everything you say is suspect, and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Fireworks should not be on sale to the general public.Agree, not because people are idiots and don't know what to do with them but because the shite "cheap" fireworks that you can purchase over the counter are criminally badI'm sure the majority of us here have a mate who can get hold of a £100 set of fireworks for £25, **** doing that again, I wouldn't pay £5 for that shiteUnless you can get proper display fireworks that require a license to purchase (which may or may not have been sold in the pub on my estate a few years back...) they are utterly pointless I love firework displays, never been anything but disappointed when doing it round someone's house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 People pronouncing the word 'idyllic' as 'eye-dillick'. It's 'ID-illick'! That is understandable though because people think it is another form of ideal rather than referring to a style of poetry/painting etc. Not everyone went to a good school like what you did.

These days you have to listen to Radio 3 to be reminded of how it used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gharperr Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Re my previous post about pokerstars:Holy shit it appears to be much worse than i thought, theyve implemented something which means the best players will be moving down in stakes which makes all the games much much harder everywhere (as there will be a topple down effect). So the 3/4k£ loss will just be a minimum My skill level is pretty close/near to the high stakes tables and people around my skill level are seriously thinking about getting a job due to how unbeatable the games will become. I will literally have to go into the 9 to 5 job grind . I knew the day would come where something like this will happen where the games come close to unbeatable, but thought that would be at least 2 years down the line and not because of a quick money grab.I best learn how to make an empty CV. sighGoodbye freedom Edited November 3, 2015 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gharperr Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Can't you just join a different poker site? kind of. The number of players when it gets to midstakes or higher on different sites are incredibly low so wont be able to get enough volume in. They often also charge more to play there (through rake) which makes it even harder to win at and they dont provide the level of security against bots etc and $ security (multiple sites have gone under and just kept all the player funds or cant guarantee cashouts). Pokerstars hold such a monopoly over the poker industry that such a radical change is going to affect every other site negatively aswell (unless them sites invest heavily in software/advertisement which isnt the most sensible thing in a industry thats declining) It certainly isnt as simple as move sites and everything will be semi-ok Pokerstars changed hands last year and ever since its just been bad news and money grab due to them being a publicly traded company now Edited November 3, 2015 by gharperr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2015 Appropriate for this thread. Phone chargers with so little power in them that using the phone while it's connected to the charger still uses up the battery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Quotas for the amount of women in passports, bank notes and most annoyingly jobs. I've frequently been told at work that I will be favoured for a job as a woman. Doesn't make sense and inevitably means that any woman who makes it into top jobs are seen as getting there because of their gender. It actually has the opposite affect of whAt it intends.

Wainy316 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I hate equality and diversity to fill quotas in general. To reach true equality questions such as ethnicity etc wouldn't need to be asked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
