    People, who, when recounting a conversation say "I turned around and said" more than once. I can very well believe that initially you had to turn around to say something, but after that? Were you in a queue? Or just standing on the spot rotating?

    Haha, I totally agree! It's bizarre how often people use it - do a lot of people conduct their conversations back-to-back?!

    Yes that's a good 1I hear this all the time.

    I know you don't give a shit but this is a good one, I was having a beer on the the beach at the time. I think it was about 1.00pm, I thought about having a tube of Pringles but they weren't on the all inclusive menu which I thought was wrong. What do you think?

    Common misuse of the word 'super', particularly in marketing circles.

    Super Tuesday - Just another boring day in the interminably long and tedious US elections.
    Super Saturday - As if Super Tuesday wasn't enough.
    Super Sunday - Sky Sports show a few football matches - so that's pretty much like every other day.
    Super 6 - More from the super super world of super Sky. This time it's just a bunch of middle aged blokes encouraging you to put your hard earned money into Jerry Hall's retirement fund. Super.
    Super League - don't make me laugh, it's just egg rolling. Dull old egg-rolling.
    Super Bowl - Dull old egg rolling for people who like their egg rollers sporting shoulder pads and shiny helmets.
    Super Mario - CGI homoerotic Italian plumber.
    Super Furry Animals - A bunch of Welsh blokes one of whom pretended to sing on an Oasis track.
    Charlton Athletic Club Superstore - A pokey little shop selling overpriced tat. In the old days buying this rubbish was a way of demonstrating your love for the club. Then Roly Douchebag took over and boycotting the 'superstore' became a better way of demonstrating your love for the club.
    Online Superstore - a section of the club's creaky old website that you can use to avoid ever having to visit the real 'superstore'. Now you can easily demonstrate your love for Charlton by never clicking on this part of the site. Or any other part of it for that matter.

    When I clean my hedgehog out and she's shed a quill, which then ends up sticking out of my finger. They're bloody sharp.

    is that something to do with your other halves pubes?
  • When someone compares a current Charlton player with a Footballing legend i.e.

    Thierry Henry used to be a winger yet has been pushed up front and scores goals so why not X Charlton Player

    Its not that sort of comment that annoys me its always the response along the lines of: Oh yeah, the said Charlton player is going to be the next Henry, yeah right... they're not bloody saying that the Charlton player will be as good as Henry, they're saying that changing from a Winger to Striker means they might score some goals at our level

    Cant see birdie for that man. If he was any good he would have missed the bunker, although I might be a tad harsh there it is one hell of trap.

    Bizarre how Europa League games on a Thursday night have such a negative impact on Sunday matches but you never hear the same complaint about playing on Wednesday in the champions league and then Saturday in England.

    Ironic that the English clubs view of the Europa league and the idea of being happy to go out etc. is contributing to Italy possibly taking the coefficient.
    Then the same clubs will be moaning that they can't get into the champions league with only 3 slots available.
  • People who display semi-meaningful posts on Facebook.

    However, Charlton Life is different because Charlton Life is like a tree where all the branches feed back to a solid root where we are all at one with the world and love our football, our club and each other.

    Exactly what I had in mind. Odd - psychological I am sure.

    Or when (for example) a team has a midweek game say on a Wednesday rather than a Tuesday. Manager always comments on the lesser amount of time to recoup for the following Saturday game, rather than acknowledging that they also had more time to recoup from the previous Saturday game.

    Weddings in "posh" (usually pretentious, rather than really posh), out of the way country hotels, where it either costs you a fortune in a cab to get there, or an arm and a leg to stay there. The staff look down their nose at you, and after the one drink the hosts have been able to afford to give you (after spending the equivalent of a deposit on a house to have a wedding more suited to Donald Trump), you pay about eight quid for a pint of freezing cold, nitro-keg creamy brown beer. And the fuckers expect a present...

    Best thing to do is turn up already wankered and just be rude to everybody, be sick in the corner and then go home.
  • I'm sure its been mentioned before but the fact that Track Cycling gets its Olympic programme cut when there are about 20,000 swimming events, its not like they have to share the same arenas so why cut either of them?

    People that start every sentence with 'so'.

    Was watching 8 out of 10 Cats the other night with my beloved when Susie 'thinking man's, after a couple of sharpeners and with beer goggles on, crumpet' Dent commented how irritating she finds people who start every sentence with 'So'.
    She then went on to do the very same thing herself.

    Anyway, was watching the news last night before venturing out to Ipswich Regent with the Mrs to see the lovely Leona Lewis and they interviewed a financial guru from Canary Wharf, throwing half a dozen questions at her about Banker's accountability and, without exception, she commenced answering each and every question with the word, 'So'.

    Then Leona Lewis was doing the same last night every time she related the story of her life journey.

    From one day not even noticing it, in an instant my life has changed for the worse as I am now honed in to picking up the word 'So' at the beginning of anybody I hear's sentence - hopefully it will pass or word will get round how irritating it is.

    Same as Americans who use the word, 'like' every third word.

    Here endeth my minor rant for the day - off to Royal Wootton Bassett now, via Gloucester and then up to Charlton.

    Well, it's a day that the happy couple will always remember, why not treat them to an everlasting memory.

    It must have come up before but people who use the phrase / word "Correct" when commenting on something you've said or written. Like, "well done you've caught up". Fcuk off.

    Pompous, self important bullshit.
