Davkaus Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I see Sainsbury's have seen Tesco got away with their clubcard prices bullshit and have done exactly the same with special offers now reserved for nectar card customers. Bunch of bastards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2023 I can't seem to get it into my head that that football manager is called Pochettino. I always want to call him Pochinetto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Having to put £1 in a trolley. Yes, for your information I did drive 13 miles to do a big shop at the big Sainsburys only to forget my £1 because who uses cash these days?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Came to watch family run the London marathon this weekend, finally in the hotel, showered and relaxed, but at least we're in Canary wharf, nice convenient spot, and to top it off I got a really cheap parking space right around the corner. Planning our exit tomorrow, the other half asked what time the road closures end. They end at 7. Some funny bastard has happily taken my money for a parking spot that expires at 18:00 that's within the route boundaries. Completely my fault but he saw me coming. I bet he was planning to be there with popcorn tomorrow evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I **** hate London. Pick a card, any card. Stick with that one and use it for contactless travel everywhere. Job done. For extra piece of mind, register it on the tfl website, so if you forget to/can't tap out, you can let them know and not get charged for it. Oh, and you don't need to tap out on buses. You may hate London, but London loves you. With big sloppy kisses an that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2023 Carpal Tunnel. I’ve been renovating my new house for the last 10 days or so. The first 7 days was 90% stripping wallpaper. And I was doing 12 hour days. As a result I’ve developed Carpal Tunnel. I’ve never had it before and always assumed it was some small, irritating sensation. It is **** agony. A combination of numbness, weird sensations (half the time my fingers feel like I have frostbite) and just pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2023 Apologies. Would save it for the boring thread, but been presented with the opportunity of combining a couple of posts from this page. The last time I had a carpal tunnel like sensation was from pushing a shopping trolley around. It was slightly bizarre as I only pushed it for literally a couple of minutes and afterwards my one hand in particular felt like someone had caned my palm with a crowbar. A real sore, but seized up pain. Took a fair few hours to disappear. For what it’s worth, I was pushing the trolley around by the upright handle bits, the sort of ears of the trolley. Ever since I just push it from the horizontal bar and not experienced it again. I wish I could say it happened in London and that I saw Mauricio Pochettino doing his weekly shop and that I said “Alright Pochinetto!”. It would further combine other posts from this page and also help pad out this tedious retelling of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I haven't driven into Brum for years now. I did today, and was reminded of why I hate it! Too much traffic, people driving like words removed and just general wankpuffery of the highest order. Driving back from Harborne even at 3pm, the tunnels in Brum were busy and Aston Distressway at a crawl. Some jizzgoblin in a Qashqai was swerving from lane to lane to try and gain 5 extra yards. Still ended up behind me. I hope they crash into a disused mine full of unexploded WW2 bombs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's scary to see the amount of arse****s that are allowed on UK roads today. I swear half of these people behind the wheel of a car have got their driving licence out of a Christmas cracker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of driving and parking is by far the lowest you’ll ever see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2023 I've noticed more and more VERY bad and arrogant aggressive driving lately. Without coming over all boomer I'm sure it's the GTA generation getting into real cars. Seen people turning left from the right hand lane at the front of traffic lights a lot lately. Last night a souped up streetcar zoomed up the hill on the wrong side of the road outside Aston Manor Brewery as the traffic was queuing all the way. It's happening more and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I was turning right at a roundabout and there was a van to my left going all the way around the roundabout in the outside lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
