    The overuse of 'rain' in films - invariably at night - in an attempt to make a scene more dramatic. Then some twit walking about with his collar turned up holding a newspaper over his head.Rain acting.
    While I'm at it, someone we're meant to feel some sort of sympathy for - friendless, geeky student; busy attorney with a social conscious, misunderstood genius - overloaded with files, books, briefcase etc. Oh no! They dropped it all over the pavement and now they're scrabbling on their hands and knees trying to collect it all while important bits of paper get blown into the traffic. Bloody idiot.
    Theres no way I can carry all this without dropping it acting.

    Oh yeah, they're a geek so they must be a good person. The reason a lot of geeks don't have friends is because quietly they're dicks.

    Also, the correct British reaction to someone dropping all that stuff is "wheeyyy, wankaaa" - so it's totally unrealistic.

    Any lazy movie cliché is kind of annoying, always the scenes after the 'hero saves the day and gets the girl bit' is usually just the director phoning it in for the last 5-10 mins of the movie. "Umm... what did they use in xxxx? Yeah, just use that, let's go to The Horseshoe".

    Owen Jones.

    Some people on my twitter have retweeted him recently, dunno who he is but he looks like a right smug prick and another one who shags cats.

    He's the poster child for the left. I follow him, tend to agree with him on most things but I can understand how those that have a central/neutral approach to politics could be wound up

    I think the problem is he's also about our age so friends in your group may relate etc

    Now I know this, I'll prob retweet everything he does now

    Every time I turn the radio on there seems to be some shrill Scottish harpy banging on about independence.
    I long for the day when they fuck off to their independent promised land of milk and honey penury, emigration and endless EU bailouts.

    Booking train tickets last thing yesterday for a meeting in Reading today then getting to the station this morning and realising I'd booked them for tomorrow by mistake. Dick.

    A very fair self assessment.

    I recently learned that if you want to use the Gatwick express to go from Victoria to Gatwick then it is better to buy a ticket from Victoria to Gatwick than from Gatwick to Victoria.

    Adverts that show words on the screen which are then just read out. If you don't think I can even read, why are you trying to sell me a Mercedes coupé?

    Getting lashed up out on holiday and then acting Bertie Big Bollocks offering to buy everyone in the bar a drink.
    Regretful decision this morning.
    Hangs head in hangover shame.

    Huddersfield Town and some the comments I've read (Not from CharltonLife) from fans surrounding them since they won promotion...

    i.e. they're a little club so dont deserve to be playing amongst the big boys; the Premier League is supposed to be the best in the world yet we'll have Huddersfield v Bournemouth next season... Shouldn't happen when there are proper historic clubs like Leeds | Aston Villa | Sheffield Wednesday etc. outside of the top flight.

    Then you get people moaning that Huddersfield have gone up simply because they've relied upon the loan market from the top Premier League sides when in fact they've only signed FOUR loanees all season (Ward from Liverpool | Brown and Palmer from Chelsea | Mooy from Man City) whilst one of those loanees (Palmer) has pretty much been out injured for large parts... Then you've got Joel Coleman their sub-Goalkeeper who kept a clean-sheet in the first play-off covering when Ward was suspended

    So fuck off people with your pathetic armchair opinions and bitterness...

    Just enjoy the fact that Huddersfield can get promoted to the top flight is part 'n' parcel with Football being the best Sport in the World and whilst we might not have the best players playing over here, the fact a team like Huddersfield or Charlton can go up to the top flight shows why the English Leagues ARE the best bloody Leagues in the whole damned world!!

    Rant over!!

    Huddersfield are a proper historic club. Read their history and they were once a colossus of football. I hope they do well.
    The idiots who think some selective recent historical provenance trumps actual achievement on the pitch now should be pitied.

    But they won the league before football began in 1992.

    "Yeah but that was way back in the 1920's it was ages ago" is the response you'll ALWAYS get

    Yeah well if I had a gun I'd always do this to you after that sort of comment you prick!!

    I was being sarcastic as we all know that football only began in 1992 when the Premier League was formed.

    I thoroughly agree with your earlier post about the league being the best because clubs can go up and down the ladder depending on their investment and ambition.

    No I was agreeing with your sarcasm not arguing with your comments as I genuinely have found that conversations about past history goes as follows:

    Charlton fan: Yeah dont worry we've won the FA Cup in our time
    Top Six Fan: Oh yeah when was that then
    Charlton fan: Back in 1947
    Top Six Fan: Pfft, well you cant really count that now can you

    Thing that annoys me on here is when we lose to Fleetwood, Bury, Rochdale etc people react as if they have no right to beat us just because they deem them to be smaller clubs.

    Yet when Mowbray says his team shouldn't be losing to teams like Charlton then all the toys are thrown out the pram.

    Ok, thought you were calling me a prick which I thought was harsh but you weren't.

    Can't remember if I saw it on Twitter or the thread on here but his son tweeted that he thought that Reading still had a penalty to take so didn't even realise they'd won!

    I agree your point in general, but Mowbray was talking about Middlesboro ffs

    Ok, I remember Bobby Robson saying the same when we beat Newcastle.
