    I will say what annoys me 

    Virtue signalling, reductive morons who are completely wide of the mark regarding John Davidson and him shouting a bad word at the awards last night. 

    He was there because a film made about his life and the struggle he has faced, mainly around lack of education and awareness or knowledge of tourettes syndrome, how high stress situations are incredibly difficult for him and how that condition will create an explosive tension within him to tick, lash out and yell out the most offensive and inappropriate thing that enters his head.

    So they have, of course being the right-on fucking morons they are gone right after him, apologised for the bad language completely and utterly shitting all over and wilfully destroying the whole meaning of the film showing their own intellectual inadequacies by clutching their pearls and feeling the black person's pain. Generally as white middle class patronising dunces who only ever look down on anyone that isnt them 

    It is the expensively educated, thick middle class media that always seeds this nonsense and stokes the genuine division in this country.

    Idrissa Gueye - if it’s not annoying enough that he’s allowed to wear leggings, he matches them to his shorts instead of his socks so it looks like there’s a funny little sailor running around on the pitch…

    Have just switched on and noticed it. Is there a reason he is wearing them or just a fanny and can't handle a mild evening kick off.

    I take it you weren’t on the Guinness, as I never get one from it.

    sometimes I think it's a fashion statement by the parents,  so many have designer made pushchairs with matching outfits, non are made for practicality

    Our clubs obsession with Wrexham. 

    Must quadruple its marketing effort for this game in comparison to others. Million emails. Digital billboard spends…‘Big games like this demand big atmospheres’ etc

    Then you are a very lucky man. 

    I’m getting to the stage I’d get a 2-day hangover from a can of Shandy Bass 😢
    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
    Diarrhoea and false fingernail clean up on isle 4.

    Wrexham is a strange one for me. I didn't even know they had a professional team until fairly recently (shows up my lack of knowledge on lower league football) but now since the money being put in and with an underrated manager have climbed up the leagues and our now in play off contention to make it to the top table, it just seems odd. I mean good luck to them. I know most people hate them but yeah, good luck to them. I do however hate how all not just us make a big thing about playing them as if it was a top six side or something.

    This is an interesting thing...Karim, assume you are quite young?

    I'm not exactly old, but when I was young, you saw Charlton's results in the paper or on the television alongside everyone else's, so I was familiar with every club in every division - their grounds, the sort of crowds they got (all shit in the mid 80's) and other useless info. I could name every club and ground in the football league and a bit beyond.

    I knew, of course, that Wrecsam played at Y Cae Ras (what a load of bollocks).

    Yeah I never took any notice of them or TBF any one apart from Charlton. Started following football in this country properly in the late 90s but still mainly focused on just Charlton. Seria A was my main love due to the excellent coverage on channel 4.

    Growing up in the sixties most boys would have something like this.  You'd pretty much get to know every team, their standing in the league and the colours they wore.

    Unfortunately, the cardboard would wear pretty thin and become hard to slot into position.

    I was a girl who grew up in the 70’s but I knew every club/colours/ground too.
    Because I absolutely loved football and that was before I started going to watch Charlton Athletic.
    Still hate what’s happened to Wrexham because it’s all so false and vomit inducing imho. Fair play to the fans that have always been there, enjoy every minute. And fair play to Parky, I have always liked him.
    But all the other hangers on (including my Man Yoo supporting north Welsh family) and those two Hollywood eejits can fecking feck off!

    I sat an EQUO course yesterday, and it covered people with fluency disorders/dysfluency and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome. Ironically, the people who are shouting the most about what happened and trying to appear “progressive” would definitely fail the multiple choice at the end.

    Also, regarding John Davidson — I remember the first documentary featuring him and also the second. I can remember that while people were laughing at the bloke, I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. In the second documentary, I seem to remember his mum had basically erased him from the family (I think they were still in touch, but I remember the reporter asking why there weren’t any photos of him around the house, and she then got a couple out of a drawer). I found it really sad and it seems like his life don't get any easier.

    Also in that second documentary, I remember a young boy (around 7 or 8 years old) who didn’t swear with his tics — he made a really high-pitched shriek. When the reporter had a one-to-one with him, he said that he shrieked because he didn’t want to swear. Again, proper sad.

    Not quite the same but going for a piss linked. The extreme discomfort caused by chopping a scotch bonnet chilli and then needing a piss before washing hands properly is annoying me.

    QR code menus in nice restaurants. Don't mind it in a gastro pub or basic restaurant but if I'm putting on a shirt, dropping dome decent cash on some French food and a bottle of vino why can't you print the bloody thing for me. Feels tacky to have to get my phone out.
