It's worse when they're in the office and refuse to put it on silent. Someone in my office gets a call every hour or so from his wife (probably).golfaddick said:People with stupid ring tones on their mobiles & want everyone to know.
I'm currently sitting in a waiting area at the hospital (with my phone on silent) and some numpty has a scooby doo ring tone / alert and its gone off half a dozen times in the last 20 mins. Bloody irratating and childish......he's about 45.0 -
I should clarify, as much as I defended it there, I actually get really annoyed when people get names wrong - it often strikes me as being disrespectful.MartinCAFC said:
Griggs may be a surname but Will's surname is Grigg so when the song is sung it's Grigg's on fire which is excusable when saying it. I see your point but it's no excuse for the spelling of GriggPowell Is Pleasant said:
1. Because, unlike the others, Griggs is an actual surnameMartinCAFC said:People who spell Will Grigg as Griggs.
His surname is clearly Grigg and spelt as such. The letter S is thre letters away from the letter G on the keyboard so can't even pin it on fat fingers.
It's not like we say Sollys or Bauers or Aribos so why Griggs?
2. Because there's a song about him in the public consciousness that says "Will Grigg's on fire", thereby making people familiar with his name having an S on the end.
Like on 5live, in a conversation about Lewandowski, Jason Roberts kept calling him Loo-an-dal-ski. As if he was thinking "bloody hell, I can't believe how many people are getting this guy's name wrong - it's clearly W, not V".1 -
I doesn't just happen when you get old mate. I did my tricep the ofther day... playing darts!Greenie said:When my back goes, first time 3 years ago, couldnt move for a week, did it reaching for a tea cup......!
Every now and then I get a twinge, but know if I do some gentle back rotations it clicks and all is good.
Last week I was doing some training at my club, stuff I've been doing for years, sparring, brake falls, bag and pad work, smashed it no probs, you get the idea.
Yesterday I picked up a small pallet, weighs bugger all, and the bastard just went....Im walking like Ive just filled the back of my pants up....FFS.
Getting old is just dog shit.
It wasn't even while throwing, but taking the darts out of the board ffs!!2 -

Sympathies fella. My back goes out more often than I do these days and it's taking me longer and longer to recover. Just spent nearly 3 weeks shuffling around exactly like you described. I was only filling my drinks bottle up at the fecking water dispenser when I did it too.Greenie said:When my back goes, first time 3 years ago, couldnt move for a week, did it reaching for a tea cup......!

I'm making a Danish style tv unit, but we haven't got the tele to go in it yet, so I was looking at sizes of possible teles, but the measurements are only corner to corner. This don't help me out at allcharltonkeston said:
The only measurement you need to know is 65 inch. Anything bigger is great, anything smaller is a tablet not a tele.i_b_b_o_r_g said:People who take the Facebook meaning of the word "friend" to mean that you actually have to be friends with someone to have them on your list
Why teles are measured corner to corner and not just done in height and width0 -

In that case try Richer Sounds website. All models sold have overall dimensions on the spec tab.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

If you're referring to Cabbles point above and my similar point on the Southeastern thread then no clearly not. It was clear that whay we were referring to were daytrippers and tourists with no reason to travel at commuter time. Not people with genuine reasons and places to go.charltonJ said:My son has a lot of early appointment's at King's mid week, impossible driving with the morning traffic, should we walk it next time so your a bit more comfortable?

Most afternoons at work when a couple of birds sitting at the desks behind me start playing videos on there phones ffs.
"My mate's kid really cracks me up" one says to her mate, meanwhile I have to endure the noise of a small child I don't give a toss about wondering why people fill there phones up with this kind of crap whilst I'm trying to get work done.3 -
just retialiate with an interview on valley pass with Karl Robinson, loud speaker. Preferably the one he did after Shrewsbury away last season or the transfer deadline day oneMartinCAFC said:Most afternoons at work when a couple of birds sitting at the desks behind me start playing videos on there phones ffs.

Yeah didn't it mean to come across like that sorry. My missus has had a few comments on the train up and is always worried about it because he can be a handful at times. I normally end up missing some work, always a nightmare! Cheers mate.cantersaddick said:

Boycott is brilliant. He knows more about cricket than anyone else on the planet. He's a Yorkshire man in his 70's so he is going to say things that some these days find uncomfortable, that's not an excuse but a reason. However he is NOT a racist and he has not been convicted of assault in this country and to this day vehemently denies the French prosecution.Lincsaddick said:
good list .. I'd add Aggers, Blowers (thank the lord he's orf soon), Boycott and all the other 'commentators' who have turned T M S into a not at all funny 'comedy' fest and in Boycott's case 'all my yesterdays 'from Yorkshire' (and how come this woman beating, racist creep still has a job)..Riviera said:Charles Dagnall, Dan Norcross and Graeme Swann. The three of them are collectively and individually killing a great British institution.
Ed Smith, Vaughan, Marks, Mann and Mitchell are the few left who report and comment on what is actually going on
He is an ass sometimes because the likes of Agnew, Swann etc love to wind him up, and it's very easy to do so. Left alone to talk cricket he is in a class of his own. He is not like Fred Trueman in the "In my day" stakes, Ian Botham is the current king of that trait.3 - Sponsored links:

I quite enjoy it when they wind Boycott up. This one went on a bit, but edited hilights here.

The fact the world has completely lost its sense of humour.
Chris Hoy having to apologise for 'body shaming' when he claimed anyone over 8 stone looks terrible in Lycra is utterly ridiculous. Clearly he meant Lycra was a horrible and unflattering form of clothing rather than people over 8 stone being overweight or deformed.
I'd personally have gone further than Chris Hoy. Anyone who walks in to their local coffee shop dressed in Lycra after a sweaty bike ride with their bulge or grand canyon sized camel toe at eye level of sat down customers should be locked up for public indecency.12 -
Have to say, one of the most stupidest ideas, putting a mini market in petrol stations!
Convenient of course but bloody annoying when waiting for some dick to finish and then return to their vehicle!4 -
We've probably had this but fat people wearing leggings. Christ are they blind or summink, NO, it's disgusting. I don't want to be subjected to your fat arse and gut.
It makes me want to puke!2 -
The real issue is people parking at the pumps to use the retail element, now I don't question this has made the world a more convenient place but petrol forecourts that cannot afford the space to make provision for people only buying shit from the shop.sillav nitram said:Have to say, one of the most stupidest ideas, putting a mini market in petrol stations!

The fact that even with a licence endorsement and big fine, I see hundreds of arseholes daily lane hogging/drifting aimlessly in the middle or outside lane and using mobile phone handsets. Both of which I suppose actual human police officers to do anything about of which we have fewer every year3

Here they will fill up, and then stop and have a coffee while their car is still at the pump! And the bloke on the till has to make the coffee, so everyone waiting to pay is inconvenienced too...Carter said:
