How anxious I get before and during a Charlton game and pissed off and angry if they lose. Of course if we win it’s the total opposite.
I mean, after all it’s not the end of the 🌎 and they’re are other things that are more important aren’t there or are there?
It often feels like life and death to me but as Shankly said, it’s much bigger than that or words to that effect.1 -

I don't think its irrational at all, I have the be rational the rest of the time so over 90 minutes I am free and can get irate about a centre forwards inability to watch the defensive line to make sure he isn't offside. Or bemoan his inability to hit a cows arse with a banjo
And then go batshit mental excited when said centre forward scores the winner (Akpo Sodje, I'm looking at you!) Against scummy Leeds
It condenses your world into a football pitch and 22 men for 2 hours and only football people, I mean those who are predominantly miserable like us, can get it. Those who watch manyoo from a pub, living room whereever that isn't where the game is taking place and have never been to the ground cannot get this, its why fans are long-suffering like us
We do it and occasionally, maybe every 10 years get rewarded and were spoilt for a while so now we pay our penance and wait for the next time we are all at Wembley for a 95th minute winner13 -

Is there a new 'style' of interviewing on the radio/sports etc where the interviewer doesnt just ask a question but goes onto a second statement that answers the question? Not just asking the bleedin obvious but ending the question with the answer.

Almost as if they expect you to complete the delivery for them. They can do one, the parcel stays here until they can be bothered to get off their lazy arses to get it.
Further parcel updates will follow.

"Doubling down"What bullshit phrase is this?0

It’s a gambling phrase. Used when a gambler doubles their bet when the risk/reward increases.IdleHans said:"Doubling down"What bullshit phrase is this?
More generally, you’ve given your backing to something which involves risk/reward, then the circumstances have changed, making the risk/reward greater and you’ve decided to continue to back it, despite the increased risk.
Often used when someone supports an idea/policy/viewpoint etc then, after it starts to look flimsy, they continue to show support in the hope that it’ll come good eventually.
I quite like it as a metaphor, but it is a bit overused.0 -
Checked out the net for a simple nest of tables and placed an order.
Now I cant move for table nests, they are everywhere on my screen - top, middle and bottom - even on Charlton Life they are appearing, I'm seeing them everywhere - even in my sleep. I think I might burn the buggers when they finally arrive.

My wife shouted across the road in a threatening manner to the lady neighbour asking whether she knew she had a parcel at our house to which she replied ‘no’, she never knew. She was also really apologetic despite the fact she’d done nothing wrong.
Glad we can all put this behind us in the knowledge that we’ll most likely never speak again.10 -
Until you take in another parcel on Monday!Macronate said:

Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google. Stops the trackers.1

When I was young the Highway Code said words to the effect of: where there is no pavement walk in the road FACING the oncoming traffic.
Can somebody tell me when that changed? I can only assume I am behind the times given the number of people walking towards me on my side of the road earlier today, ie with their BACKS to oncoming traffic, meaning that, to maintain 'social distancing,' I had to move to the 'wrong' side of the road myself on a number of occasions as these people were completely oblivious!2 -
It hasn't.
As of last year it was still very much the highway code to travel into traffic when a pedestrian without a foot path. Haven't checked in 2020.1 -
Thank you. I was 99.99% sure I was correct but as there were so many others doing the wrong thing I began to doubt myself.Dazzler21 said:It hasn't.

I am justified in feeling irritated by it then although I cannot say I let it spoil my walk.0 -
