    The Serena love in on BBC 🙄
    Not watching but so what if they are. She’s one of the greatest of all time. 
    Yeah but could she do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke over 5 sets...

    People who work in Finance having work iPhones.

    Michael Olise choosing France.

    Against Sweden he was a class apart ... mind you I note that he left these shores after playing for Cystal Palace - I blame them!

    Last train out of victoria a few years back, packed. Bloke has his music on from his phone. Ask him to turn it down or to put headphones on. He doesn't have headphones so he won't turn it down. Argument starts.. a girl then says it's not bothering her I said well bully for you but it's bothering me. Argument continues.. Then some bloke behind starts saying can everyone just shut up whilst he tries to eat his kebab. Someone else then started up saying you got to be kidding me you've been making so much noise and some rather strange mouth actions whilst trying to tackle that gawd awful kebab. Then possibly a heavyweight boxer looking chap turns round to all of us and says could you all please be quiet. Not another sound was made, apart from kebab bloke chewing as quietly as he could. 
    Just reading about this stupid woman has annoyed me. Sums up so many people.

    Book indexes, where you look something up and the reference given is 'see XYZ', when it would be easier for them to just give the page number.  Also, ones where you search for something specific (in my case it'll usually be animal species) and the page number given is for the start of the section rather than the page for the particular thing you want.

    Gianni Infantino. Not content with consistently selling our sport to the highest bidders regardless of suitability, the creepy fucker is absolutely everywhere. Bloke must have a carbon footprint the size of a small country.

    He offsets that by reflecting sunlight back into space off the top of his shiny bald head.

    Blowing your nose in public, but getting the finger pressure slight wrong so you do a loud outward snort to the disgust of the rest of the train. (can’t think of a phrase for outward snort)

    my mate went to 6 group games and had 10 internal flights, so not that bad really seeing as Infantino is the head of FIFA. Would have expected him to have visited each host stadium

    I mean, in essence he is just an old thunderbird puppet so there are probably spare ones in different costumes they can use….they all have human hands you know…

    There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a climate emergency. Environmental and climate change experts are reporting increasing global levels of carbon dioxide, temperatures around the world at the highest levels ever recorded, ice caps melting and ocean levels rising faster than predicted, and with the world experiencing more extreme weather events than ever before. 

    The change in weather patterns is impacting the environment and its rich biodiversity, food security and access to fresh water as well as the health and well- being of individuals. It is affecting the livelihood of entire communities and even threatens the existence of low- altitude countries and entire island nations. 

    Sport is not immune to climate change and around the world, grassroots, recreational, amateur and elite football is also being affected. Heat waves, heavy rainfall and other extreme weather conditions impact the ability for football to be played and lead to increased health risks for players. Violent weather events and rising sea levels damage football infrastructures with increasing air pollution risking the health of those who play sport in the open.

    Football competitions, like all sporting events, are also being affected by climate change. Infrastructure and operations have already been impacted with match schedules disrupted, resulting in uncertainty for the players, fans, sponsors, broadcasters and organisers.

    Climate change and its impact is undoubtedly one of the most pressing challenges of our time, if not the most critical, and it requires each of us to take immediate and sustainable climate action.


    Not my words, but the words of Gianni Infantino, in the Forward to FIFA's Climate Strategy. If he is to be a genuine leader and not just a bloated, egotistical, money-grabbing hypocrite he needs his actions (or perhaps lack of actions) to speak louder than words.

    its unfair its not as if he's just lounging around in economy, but hes probably having to work bloody hard, with his nose to the grindstone in first class, or on his executive jet, keeping to a strenuous timetable and get his limousine to his next exhausting business lunch in the stadiums hospitality suite with Joe Schmo from COCAMO.

    There are only three months of nice weather in this country... Three months where you can sit outside, enjoy the garden, have a barbecue, etc. 

    Our neighbours have chosen this exact three month period to commence to build an extension on their house. So now our garden is filled with dust and the sound of banging and drilling.

    Medway Council/Kent Police - geezer across the road has a Mazda MX-5 with a ridiculous exhaust and has been driving it around with an expired MOT for weeks - have complained & the aforementioned authority have done sweet FA about it.

    Just shows the ineptitude and decline in the standards of traffic policing. Also why drink driving and mobile phone use is out of control. People don't get pulled over anymore unless they drive into something or someone
