CrackpotForeigner Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 ive yet to meet a utd fan who isnt up his own arse. I know loads of them. I work opposite Old Trafford. The vast majority of United fans I know and talk to are sound. Can believe this. Man Utd fans should be despised in proportion to the distance they live from OT.

BOF Posted September 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2012 Jon is right. On one hand, I feel sorry for the genuine United fans because the size of their club means they've far far more arseholes supporting their club than any of us have following ours. And they get lumped in with them. I know a few United fans who are as knowledgeable about football as anyone else and who are not myopic about their own club. They too despair at the typical United fan and they know there's nothing they can do but just defend themselves as and when the discussion (regularly) comes up. United are just another football club with normal fans and idiot fans. But their success has meant that many more idiots with no attachment to that club have decided to latch on to their success.

LondonLax Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 My best mate is a united fan but you wouldn't know it for talking to him. He's not arrogant or cocky about the team anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2012 Nissan Micras. Driven at 24 **** MPH everywhere they go. Had to laugh one morning. It was particularly miserable, wet and greasy on the roads. On the way to work driving through a little village I got stuck behind a car doing about 20mph for well over a mile. The car in question? A Ferrari 360 Modena. Yer man was clearly afraid of his shite to apply the accelerator for fear of sticking it in a ditch There are worse cars to be stuck behind I s'pose. I did get a kick out of sighing "Bloody Ferraris" as we went our separate ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a kick out of sighing "Bloody Ferraris" as we went our separate ways My last manager had to work from home one day for the precise reason that his car was rear wheel drive (XF) It was snowing, and he lives out in the sticks somewhere. He said he was coming out of his villagee and the road goes from an extremely narrow 1 track road and widens up as it goes up a hill. So he gunned it to get up the hill, but got stuck halfway. So then he tried to do a 3 point turn half way up the hill. This only succeeded in getting himsideways and then send him sliding back down the hill sideways. He ended up sideways in the really narrow part of the road, unable to move because he was nose to tail with the hedges lining the road, like that classic Austin Powers bit. Had to get the AA to come and tow him out. Oh how I laughed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 7, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah I do laugh at Beemers et al when the snow comes. You'd be surprised (or perhaps not) at how many Beemer drivers either a) don't realise their car is rear wheel drive or don't realise the consequences/differences of having a RWD car. Not blowing my trumpet but I'd be a fairly handy driver in tricky conditions, so I'd like to have a shot in the snow in a 4WD at some point. Whatever about people slowing down in the rain, they go completely to pot in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2012 This thread was nearly on page 2 !! Anyhoo ... The fact people use 'Delf' when we have a 'Delph' in the team. The amount of illiteracy on the forum means you can't be sure whether someone is referring to Delfouneso or are mis-spelling Delph. The laziness annoys me, particularly when we've a perfectly good abbreviation for Delfouneso in Fonz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 When someone has two different voices. I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but there's a guy I work with and at times he will talk in a normal voice. A happy voice that I've heard him use when he's on lunch, having a laugh, or out of work having a drink. THEN... There's another voice he occasionally uses, which appears to be when he's in 'professional mode'... It drops down to a lower tone, he sounds more serious. It sounds like the world is on his shoulders, maybe because his voicebox is temporarily being controlled by the spirit of Louis Armstrong. It's a problem on my part, hence it being in this thread, but when he uses his professional voice, I just want to punch him in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
