The Big Screen at Charlton. Or more to the point, the way the Big Screen is set up. Lot's of space at the bottom wasted on nonsense like dozens of different social media accounts that all follow the same pattern anyway. Meanwhile anyone scoring a second goal, doesn't get credited with it, presumably because too much space has been wasted. It badly needs sorting out.
I assumed three peat was an order at a gardening store prior to the banning of peat based compost. Fucking ridiculous portmanteau word, doesn't even mean what it is meant to as repeat three times is four times.
I never learn,buying chinese imports on Amazon can be traumatic due to the wierdly worded instructions without diagrams. I bought a paint sprayer which requires an un supplied wrench to remove a brass nipple in order to insert the correct one.I have a a mole grip which i have tried,the bastard nipple will not move,anybody else experienced this problem.
If the brass nipple is tightened onto a different metal, they will likely have different coefficients of thermal expansion. Could try heating the brass gently to make it expand. Or chilling the metal its screwed onto to make it contract.
Of course this could break the whole thing.
What I would do, buy a decent ring spanner or socket with a good fit. I'd never use mole grips, pump pliers or even an adjustable, they just make a mess. Apply some penetrating oil and leave for an hour or two. Then gently try moving the nipple both ways ever so slightly, worrying the threads. If this didn't work I'd play a bit of heat with a blow torch on the nipple/body and try again. If that didn't work I'd cut the nipple off, drill out the threaded section and tap out the threads.
Linear expansion coefficient. That takes me back to my college days, bloody riveting stuff.
Peter Drury uses the phrase 'obliged to' a few times.
For example a team is behind and is 'obliged to' score the next goal.
Yesterday Liverpool were going for broke as they were 'obliged to'.
Drury is a fucking dork. He did the one line in the Roma comeback against Barcelona and now tries to come up with something every game. Yesterday he was shouting about ‘lads and lasses’. Just shut up mate and let the pictures do the talking.
He's better than Matterface, who's absolutely dreadful, and clearly drafts his "spontaneous" cliches before the match.
Not many commentators I do like these days. Steve Wilson, once of Capital Gold, now of BBC does a good job of avoiding hysterics.
I’d say it’s clear that Drury does this too. His cringeworthy speech about the Angel of the North, Bigg Market, Geordie Nation, Eddie Howe can walk on the Tyne etc etc was almost as bad as that speech he made last year(?) when Liverpool won something and he was doing this whole thing where he was saying “They walked through the storm, but they held their heads high and they weren’t afraid of the dark…” or some shit like that. Excruciating.
Watching who wants to be a millionaire and 16k question was which African country mirrors Irelands flag. She didn’t get it, Clarkson didn’t get it, phone a friend didn’t get it.
That to me is basic.
and what makes it worse is people don’t put their safety net at 8k cos they’re gonna be more confident answering.
Watching tipping point again tonight, I wonder if they have to prove a certain amount of intelligence. Some of their lack of general knowledge, baffles me. I am no genius, and I know there special subjects you may not know, but lack of knowledge about everyday things surprises me

I believe on Tipping Point and certain other ITV quizzes, they deliberately pick a certain quota of thick people. It's about making their audience feel good about themselves, because no matter how dumb they may be they've just seen someone dumber on the telly.

When I worked in Hemel Hempstead, I found walking down the high street had much the same effect.
I’m sure I’ve moaned about this before but I swear it’s 95% of drivers who do this so I’m moaning at all of you (if the cap fits ) when there’s flashing lights on the other side of the motorway or even your own side and a lane or 2/3 are closed, fire engines, ambulances , police cars , ice cream van, breakdown vehicle any old shit . oooooh let’s all slow down to snails pace and rubber neck cos we’ve been driving behind all the other fucktards who need to gawp at whatever’s happened , drive you cnuts get out the fucking way and let’s get on with our lives , press the poxy accelerator and get on with your lives you twunts

Because 'three-in-a-row' is too many syllables?
Please tell me you have only heard it on American TV channels covering American sport?
What I get back is unwatchable woke nonsense, and repeated old shite.

Took the shyster no more than 10 seconds to do it. That’s £72 a minute or £4,320 an hour.
Crook.

Dunno why I watch it winds me up.

Mind you, with the level of income you describe, he'll be retired soon, and won't be able to rip you off.
when there’s flashing lights on the other side of the motorway or even your own side and a lane or 2/3 are closed, fire engines, ambulances , police cars , ice cream van, breakdown vehicle any old shit .
