Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 People who have a camera on top of their work PC monitor so they can video call people from their desk. Top level bell-endery. People on trains/planes who stand in the aisle and take ages to set themselves, removing various layers and getting all sorts of items out of their bags before finally sitting down. Apple pay or paper ticket rocket polishers at London Underground/station barriers. The Winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to link it to your road number comments; the A500 is known by the locals as 'The D Road'. Now is that because it forms a 'D' shape with the M6 or because 'D' is the Roman Numeral for 500. Answers on an Oatcake.please ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple pay or paper ticket rocket polishers at London Underground/station barriers. The Winter. Bit random but, you came to mind the other day and I wasn't even on VT or a computer. I think I was reflecting on something you'd offered some advice to me about. Which lead me to recall some of your other posts. You've got a good humour about you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Played the last three weeks with a fractured jaw because selection trials are underway and the show goes on whether or not I am injured. Then last night I think I pulled a muscle in my quad, early on in a game, nothing I couldn't play through but just a reminder that injuries do come along. Pisses me off because I've put in the work to play at the highest level I ever have, no coach is going to select me if I am not there to impress. They need to see me contribute and raise the standards for the team they are trying to build before they take a chance on someone who's not played in the division.

Popular Post il_serpente Posted November 7, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2019 So I frequently mooney "aston villa" to see if there is any news out there about the club. Ever since Saturday the "featured" results have all been stories about Liverpool, mostly from the Liverpool Echo, mostly whining about the VAR decision or the League Cup scheduling or Kodjias' boot to Mane's head. I don't have the same history or geographic rivalry as the rest of you to cause the loathing of Liverpool that most of you seem to have, and I really didn't understand why them winning the league would be such a travesty. But f*ck me, if I google the Villa I want to read about them, not a bunch of poor scousers crying about how they have been treated so unfairly even though they just won the game through a late strike in Kloppage time. I'm now edging toward the anyone but Liverpool camp. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone from a loved part of the culture to something everyone moans about, no one respects it. Our company won't even interact with it any more and we aren't alone. The VAR moaning isn't a Liverpool thing its almost universally despised. Any Liverpool fans that make comments in the Echo are a special breed, in fact that goes for the paper as a whole, most people despise it and laugh at the people commenting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddywhack Posted November 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2019 I know there's a dream thread but I'm putting this here. Last night I was dreaming I was sat at Villa Park watching us put 3 goals past Bournemouth in the FA Cup when there was a tap on my shoulder from a busty blonde. She said "I'm really sorry, but I have to leave now". Turns out my seat was actually the passenger seat of her car. So we drove off together out of the stadium and in to a multi-story car park where we started getting frisky. It started off lovely but then she started digging her nails in to my feet. I asked her to stop and said I wasn't in to that kind of thing. Then I woke up and saw my cat at the end of the bed attacking my feet. I'd forgotten about it until I was getting in the shower this morning and I noticed the scratches. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not worth the fight. Instead, make sure when eating a food that you disagree on how to prepare that you get started on it first. That's what I do with asparagus. Despite every person, cookbook, TV chef I've ever seen saying that you should bend the stalks til they break at the natural spot, she insists on cutting them with a knife because the other way wastes too much. Never mind that we never seem to finish it all anyway. When she prepares it there's always a small pile of indigestible fiber on the side of my plate by the end of the meal.
