For one thing, there IS no empire and secondly, what - apart from supposed kudos - does this award (or any other - BEM, CBE. OBE etc) offer ? It wouldn't be so bad if it came with a tidy cash sum. Mate of mine went to pick up an OBE a few years back.......had to hang around for ages, no refreshments - not even a brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Soccer Aid. Yes it’s a worthwhile cause and people that tune in want to see a game, but they’ve got all this other shit going on. Pundits, pitch side talk, per match action. So annoying. Edited June 10, 2018 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Rafa Nadal at the French Open. He could probably play until he's 50 and win it every time. I just hope he never catches Federer's record, I can't stand him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could eclipse Federer for number of slams but will never be considered greater, like 70% of his slams have been the French open ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TheAuthority Posted June 10, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2018 People who go shopping with their kids. Double wide stroller, shopping cart and ambling around like it's a day out at the zoo. Get out of my f****ng way I have a life that I need to get to. Next time, give your sprogs 1/2 a benadryl and leave them at home for half an hour. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, sometimes bringing the "babbies" is unavoidable but dont take 5 mins comparing 2 cans of beans, just cos 1 is 2p cheaper than the other - MOVE OUT OF THE WAY !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put it in this thread numerous times, but shopping at the supermarket is one of my least favourite things to do. It's always full of **** morons. Shopping like they're the only people in the whole place. **** off. I'd love to do online shopping, but the OH working for Aldi kinda means we have to shop there. I mean we don't HAVE to... but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OH works part time so like today, she'll drop the kids at school and then get the supplies whilst I'm working hard at the office (on VT). That’s pretty much why I choose to stick with the current MrsCrispy at each annual review of her performance. She works a 4 day week as a lifestyle choice*. On her non-work day she does the supermarket shopping and meets up with her mum. So on the weekend, I don’t have to go to a supermarket. Or meet her mum. If we run out of anything during the week or I fancy something different, I pop in to the world’s quietest Waitrose which is on my route home. I’ve gone in there sometimes and thought perhaps it was closed, like some end of days film, just me in an empty supermarket. My two greatest fears in life are my wife going to a 5 day working week and somebody at Waitrose head office realising there’s a ghost Waitrose in Barry that gets one customer every Tuesday evening. But on a similar theme - couples that stand still, side by side, on escalators. Lovely people, I hope they have a long and prosperous life. *edit, she works a 4 day week in an office. That is a lifestyle choice. She profession is not 'a lifestyle choice'. That would be weird. Edited June 11, 2018 by chrisp65 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I quite lke my trips to the supermarket... nearly always bump into an old school friend and have a catch-up , find the check out with the cute girl working on it and have a little perv up / chat whilst convincing yourself you’ve still got it ...and time it right and you can steal cake from greedy peoples trolleys and share it with the masses plus if I go I bring back nice biscuits instead of poxy digestives that Mrs H buys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Tesco do a delivery pass for £8 a month. If you do one shop per week you’re essentially paying them £2 to pick it and drop it to your house... Might get the occasional substitution and out of stock item but it saves you wasting two hours of your weekend in a supermarket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that a lot when the nippers were babies as it was too much of a ball ache to drag them around the supermarket. It is really annoying when stuff is missing, odd substitutes or the driver doesn't come when he was supposed to though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, get the annoyance about the subs and missing stuff but if means you only have to pop in for one thing instead of 50... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
