BOF Posted August 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2017 To add to my growing list of irks around calling football clubs different things for no good reason. I noticed a side called FC FCSB beat Plzen 4-1 the other night. "Who are they?" I thunked. Quick search later. Turns out that's what they're calling Steaua Bucharest these days. Here they are, Fotbal Club FCSB, in the CL draw. STEAUA. What's wrong with that? Piss off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss off guess you missed the court case where it turned out they were illegally using the name Steaua Bucharest and thus had to change it by law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 **** hangover. I had to give up and go home from work after an hour today and blamed it on having the runs. Been in bed ever since feeling like a right bell end, it's not as if I had a ridiculous amount to drink, I just can't do it any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck far too much cider down my neck. Now feeling a combination of tired and nauseous. 6 pints and I'm ruined. Its a sign we're getting old! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a walk in the park compared with the blinding, crippling headaches I get with a hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 An Irish friend of mine says he's got the solution to not getting hung over. He necks two pints of water before he goes out and two pints when he gets home, and he's always chirpy the day after when the rest of us are looking like dogs trying to pass razor-blades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A greasy burger and 2 pints of water before bed solves a lot for me. It's just the issue of doing it when the state of mind is trying to whistle "Reign in blood" and pissing in the bath.

Chindie Posted August 5, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2017 Tesco have changed their Clubcard recently. I only ever use the keyfob one, as it's far more convenient. They changed the old style barcode on it to a QR code. Great! It doesn't work anywhere. Morons. People who leave enormous gaps behind someone using a cash points when queuing. Obviously you leave some room, privacy and courtesy of course, but yesterday on a busy city centre street a bloke left 10 feet. Which meant the queue was basically part blocking a very busy street. And then the same guy gave me a dirty look when I decided a more reasonable gap was 3 foot or so, besides which he was so big I couldn't see his pin even if I was peering over his shoulder. People who don't follow the unwritten rules of walking on a busy street. Walking about at lunchtime there's distinct natural lanes and so on as people get to where they need to be in the limited time the man gives them. So don't be a word removed and decide to stop suddenly or veer diagonally back on yourself because suddenly you realised it simply must be Pret today.

Oh, that's an old favourite. Worth a try, but it will increase the likelihood of needing multiple pisses during the night (assuming you can force the water down in the first place).

This morning I woke up at 3am, took a couple of paracetemol, drank a load of squash and went back to bed. Seems to have kept the thick head at bay.
