    Once again for me it’s the misuse of apostrophes! I just saw an advert in the local paper here on the Algarve (we’re on holiday) for a painter and decorator called:

    Dans Detail’s
    CAFC publicity material now falling into this mire of illiteracy

    "Saturday's In SE7"

    Apostrophes for plurals - sacking offence 

    For anyone seeking pedants' corner (the corner in which all the pedants sit) from which to defend this abomination, pipe down before you make fools of yourselves. 
    Saturday's in SE7 could (at a stretch) be viewed as appropriate if it is to mean Saturday is in SE7 - but it ain't is it?
    This Saturday will be in Southampton.
    The best the blundering numpty can claim is that they don't know which fixture is played on which date but we all know the truth, i.e. there is rampant carelessness and/or borderline illiteracy across the OS team.

    Curling. I don’t really hate its coverage does annoy me, it’s on morning and in the afternoon and on again in the evening. It’s mildly more interesting than lawn bowls but not much.

    Massive over exaggeration.

    Surely it was just the summer of 69.

    Went to the co-op yesterday to get a couple of bits and a sandwich for lunch. Just before I had a chance to look at what culinary delights they have on offer between two slices of bread some bloke walks in scoops up a dozen sandwich boxes and just walks out with them.

    This poxy weather 

    Then the question in my head every single sunday is living memory 

    "What shall I do today" 

    No pub, got work tomorrow and Monday is always a bastard of a day

    "We need to go shopping" get fucked

    "We could go down the coast" ehhhh

    "Plenty of housework to do" great, can't wait for that 

    I've got fucking loads of shit to do, fundamentally, there are at least 6 jobs I've been putting off. Now I'm in a mood of having the arse with the weather my mindset is wrong to do anything that needs doing properly without turning into Mr angry 

    Its February, its meant to be cold but the water everywhere really fucks things up

    A few years back I was in Greggs Tottenham Court Rd, a bloke pulled the same stunt. The woman manager got a mouthful of abuse and threats from  the “man.”  It was a lunchtime and very busy, not one person stepped forward to help the woman so I did. Me and him carried on the altercation outside, he drew back as if to take a swing at me, so I did the same and the guy all of a sudden went all meek and looked like a victim. At this things went a bit wrong for me, a few passers by rounded on me, one woman shouted at me that I should be ashamed of myself. I went back to work to embarrassed to back into shop. I avoided Greggs for a couple of years after that incident.

    In Sainsbury’s Chislehurst a few years back, I saw a youth open a pack of donuts take a bite and replace the half eaten donut back into the bag.  
    Pointed the scum bag out to one of the staff and they couldn’t have cared less.

    Things that annoy me ? Hmmmm...

    Ah yes.

    On checking my Inbox just now , found yet another reminder that my presence ( plus lucky ( licky?) choclolate fingers) 
    would be appreciated at the next home match v Wreckam....regardless of my season ticket holder status.

    But, wait a minute !

    You're telling me that date of the game has been changed ? WTF !!!

    Now on FRIDAY @ 3pm ????? Assume that we'll automatically be awarded the precious 3 pts when the  oppostion fail to turn up ?

    Very clever ploy. 

    Great way to climb onwards & upwards !

    Hangovers are mainly caused by dehydration.
    Drink water before bed time.
    I never get a hangover.

    Here speaks a veteran 

    I went by all number if hangiver cures in my 20s and 30s. Berocca was the game changer but nothing can dull the tiredness. Then my 40s happened and they got exponentially more horrible regardless of what preventative measures I take. Hydrate, day drink, no narcotics or tobacco 

    I have to really pick and choose when I drink now, I can be doing absolutely nothing the following day, thats non-negotiable. I nearly shat myself in Sainsburys the day after the Watford game when last night's booze decided it wanted me taken down

    I stopped getting hangovers when I started on blood pressure pills - not had one since. The morning after I can feel a bit jaded but not real discomfort.
    I don't drink as much as I used to, and usually choose the weakest reasonable beer in the pub, but I do have the odd all dayer and emerge none the worse.
