Popular Post mjmooney Posted January 23, 2013 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2013 People (usually, but not always women) who don't "get" football, and feel obliged to trot out stuff like "But it's only a game" and "How can you get so worked up about a bunch of silly grown men kicking a ball around?" I wouldn't mind, but chances are they then return to their own oh-so-profound interests, probably featuring soap operas, Gary Barlow, Gok Wan, shopping for shoes and celebrity gossip magazines. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Agree with both the above posts. I cant bring myself to enter the VT forum anymore. I'm going to chill out for a few weeks here in Off Tropics. Kick back, feel the sand between my toes and Gareth's wind in my face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 And a glorious meaty stench it is...... So much better than that French chemical gas we've had dahn South this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 EDIT I'm also going to add that my sudden need to randomly capitalise words in sentences this week is really starting to piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2013 On that note. I had a mango with my lunch yesterday and turned into a perpetual farting machine. It was quite incredible. Luckily we all like our own brand and today it's back to situation normal. Top tip - avoid mango for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 On the subject, whilst it doesn't piss me off I do always find it quite challenging when someone is using the other cubicle at work at the same time as me. The situation almost always devolves into some sort of anal Mexican stand-off where both parties are desperate not to fart because if I do, I know I'll immediately follow it by blurting out a loud chuckle (thus confirming to the anonymous co-defecator that I have the mental age of an 8 year-old). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, I think we're all in the same boat. Well most of us. There's also the 'waiting for the hand drier before launching the first depth charge'.

A massive yes to both of these........ and you cant leave at the same time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 People (usually, but not always women) who don't "get" football, and feel obliged to trot out stuff like "But it's only a game" and "How can you get so worked up about a bunch of silly grown men kicking a ball around?" I wouldn't mind, but chances are they then return to their own oh-so-profound interests, probably featuring soap operas, Gary Barlow, Gok Wan, shopping for shoes and celebrity gossip magazines. This is essentially what my Mom is like. I got in last night from the match, slumped myself on to the sofa and the first thing she said to me was "Do you want me to get you a dummy?" I told her to **** off and apparently I'm out of order. **** word removed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2013 Continuing the toilety theme I went to stock the pond once in a pub and there was only one cubicle. I laid an extraordinarily vicious species. Anyway, I was washing my hands after the deed and a bloke walks in to use the same cubicle. It was clear from the layout of the place that it was me that had just been in there. He walked in, was violently thrown back out by the evil inside and he was still wafting the door back and forth with watery eyes as I finished drying my hands and left. I was in stitches walking back to my pint. No embarrassment though. Just pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Thing is, in some ways they (the football debunkers) are basically right. But they should be aware that their own obsessions with trivial shite completely invalidate what they say. He that is without sin, and all that.

My own particular beef is with the type of person who isn't into football yet feels they need to slag you over a defeat. Ffffffuuuuuuuuu. I have a gift for being particularly 'cutting' when I want to be and they usually see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2013 x Yes.

I have a gift for being particularly 'cutting' when I want to be and they usually see it. Then you'll be able to imagine my experience working in Bradford this morning. All sorts of self-appointed experts (who wouldn't know Valley Parade from the hole in their arse) are giving me the benefits of their football wisdom. Zen-like, I rise above it. For now.

GarethRDR Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What about the plop? Yeah, the plop doesn't help. Especially when it's a particular large cargo and thus more of a full-blown sploosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
