Created him a fan ID and it won’t let me use it as no history on it. Anyone know a way around it? Whenever I’ve taken him before I’ve been able to just buy a ticked for him with my ID no problem. Phone ticket office and they will allocate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a polo shirt, they look better on me than T-Shirts. My issue is, the collars always go to shite within about 15 mins of wear. I don’t like doing the top button up - looks good on some people, but not me. Without doing the top one up, you end up with either a gaping neck or the collar curls up all over the show Button down collar polo’s are a bit naff, so that’s a no go. I’ve gone one decent one that holds up ok, but the rest do my head in. Same as shirts, I tend to buy oxford shirts for the same reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks @Davkaus and @ender4 called ticket office and they set me up. Tickets sorted. Booked upper tier, instantly thought I’d made a mistake if there’s a pitch invasion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I might have mentioned this before but it still gives me massive consternation. My daughter is a **** monster. She doesnt do the in car wave/thank you. She doesn't believe in it. She doesn't acknowledge the positive actions of other motorists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I work in IT. For an IT company, we have network issues far too often. This isn't the thing that pisses me off. I manage a team that develops and maintains one of the biggest apps used within the company (1 million users, mix of internal and customer users) Whenever there's a network issue, every **** panics and attacks me via Skype that the application is slow AGAIN!!!! resulting in moaning to the head of the company, who comes to us and asks why we can't manage a system correctly. tl;dr IT company can't manage their network which people then blame on us which makes us look shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get into our drive I have to wait in the middle of a main road to turn right across the incoming traffic. At busy times that usually means somebody letting me through. It's quite tricky to wave while swinging the wheel hard right, so if the wife's with me, she does it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a non waver in situations when the other car didn't have a choice. Like you know those chicane things where you have to give way to traffic coming the opposite way. You sometimes get people flashing their lights at you to say thanks. Nah, not for me. I don't have a choice. I have to give way. Don't thank me. My waves are reserved for people who have gone out of their way on the road. It's like a Paul Hollywood handshake. I don't hand them out willy nilly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH it would piss me off more (in your position) that the head of the I.T. company continually fails to grasp what a network issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is, I can tell people why it isn't the app if they come to me and tell me it's slow. But lately, people have either started bitching in the quarterly 'coffee mornings with head' meetings, who then sends an email to everyone with the topics on (never tells us what people what people were bitching about before these emails) or they escalate upwards and the info comes from very senior management.

We have similar, but luckily our senior management catch on very quickly as to where the issue is, and the next time it happens, they know not to make assumptions. It sounds like your lot don't catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I was walking over a pelican crossing this morning, green man flashing, when a young girl on her phone and not looking where she was going, slowly drove forward on to the crossing, so I had to walk behind her car. Then I noticed her green P plates. I wasn't really in the mood to start shouting at some 20 something new driver, but as I've woken up through day and started thinking about it, I kind of wish I'd rolled over her bonnet instead. It's the third or fourth time something similar has happened to me on the same crossing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The glorification of alcohol abuse in former footballers. Particularly prevalent on talksport, podcasts and on the circuit I am sure. Downing a few pints hasn't been impressive in my circle of friends since I was about 24. Just calm down mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
