The small things in life that annoy you
Stripey McStripe Shirt replied to whelk's topic in The Lounge
Left BT TV/internet last week having been a customer for about 15 years. Phoned them to see if I could get a better deal but they weren't interested in the slightest so switched to Sky. Almost from the minute the switch was confirmed I have been getting calls from their retentions team about 4-5 times a day. They never leave a message but the one time I picked up to tell them to sod off, the line cut immediately. If they couldn't be arsed to keep me as a customer and then made me go through the hassle of switching, I'm not sure what makes them think I'm going to waste hours of my life switching back again. -

Yep, will confess, I don't bother with food recycling for this very reason. -
Station Premier Inn is much for convenient than the racecourse. Couple of decent pubs within a 1 minute walk (e.g Old Harkers Arms on the canal or Corner House the opposite direction). If you've not been before it's worth the 5 minute walk into the city centre to see the rows and the walls (including the second most photographed clock in the country, apparently). Plenty of other good pubs and restaurants about too.

Saints Legends v Man Utd Legends - 28 March
Stripey McStripe Shirt replied to Football Special's topic in The Saints
Admittedly Fourpast is an odd choice of keeper, but I don't actually think most of the rest of the lineup is too bad. Clearly a bit of a tongue in cheek selection, probably second choice when they couldn't find Ali Dia's contact details. Lambert, Le Tiss, Benali, Fonte etc all class as legends for Saints in my book. Killer, Hooiveld, Pele, Wanyama probably under the umbrella of cult heroes. Not sure I'd really want to watch anyone much older than them... -
Who is J Sanda? Am I suffering from dementia?

A good quality tin opener. Had my old one for about 20 years. Struggled opening every can I've ever needed to open. Finally bit the bullet the other day and bought a new one. BOOM! Was in a tin of chickpeas in matter of seconds with a clean removal this evening. -

I refuse to believe he is a bigger dummy than someone who reads the Daily Star. -
Chocolate bread and butter pudding (Delia recipe, obviously). Swiss roll (cheap and cheerful available at any good Co-op). Honourable mention for the frozen version, Arctic roll, which is harder to come by. Crème brulé. Cos I'm middle class, innit.

I turned it on for a couple minutes, saw Marin Clunes having a wank and then decided it was time for bed.

"Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. "Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. "So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!" What is he threatening exactly? Why isn't it something they can't do themselves considering how easy it is?

Bloody hell. Can feel the awkwardness from here. Hope they know what happened after Pearl Harbo(u)r. -

Didn't read the OP, did you? -
To put things in yo context, our recent good form over the past 13 games or so has seen us gain about 5 points on the top 2. It's be a miracle if we made it, but I guess you never know. A bit of pressure can do strange things to people.

Fortunately for them the Championship will be none of their concern soon.

He's been grate. Yes, it's a cheese machine joke. Yes, I know a cheese grater probably doesn't class as a machine. Yes, I know nobody grates brie. Still, one of my better jokes.
