Good contributions Ron Speaking of phonecalls... You're upstairs/in the bathroom, the phone starts ringing, you run from upstairs/the bathroom, turn down the radio/tv, pick up the phone and its a bloody junk call.
Lucky you. Well, something/someone is either "the" something or other or "a" something or other. It can't be "the a". Some commentators are so bad that once they have the bug they can't stop. Makes me cringe when they can't string together a few words without saying "the a ......". When you notice a commentator with this irresistible urge you will curse me.
Yes, footballers and managers who constantly use cliches/the same old phrases all the time. Sadly Sir Chris does it himself, his particular favourite seems to be "we were in the ascendancy". I guess we could let him off though, considering our record breaking season and all that Also, I think this has been done plenty of times already but I bloody hate John Terry! Every time he comes on the screen I want to punch something. Also, the numerous footballers who complained that suspended players should be allowed to play in the final and its not fair etc....that's the bloody point of a suspension! To punish a player for constant dangerous/unsporting behaviour! Especially in the case of John Terry who kneed someone in the back, what sort of a message would it send out if he was allowed to play in the final after something as disgusting as that?!! One final point on Mr Terry, he didn't play in the final and got himself sent off in the semi, what makes him think he therefore has the right to be the first one to lift the trophy?
What about people who, when asked a question, say "Yea No". What is that supposed to mean? Does it mean they initially agreed but then very quickly had a re-think but the word "yea" had already slipped out before they had made their final decision. Or that their mouth is simply quicker than their brain and by the time the question had registered they had already responded with an automatic "yea" so quickly follow up with a "no". In both scenarios the answer is no. But did they mean no? I have not yet discovered a way to find out other than the one I find myself adopting ie "Is that a yes or a no?" Presumably someone somewhere answers with a "no yea"?
People from the pit villages around Sunderland and Hartlepool who pretend they are Geordies and support Newcastle.
My absolute pet hate is when flying with Easyjet or Ryanair,you get on and see a couple who are travelling together, he sits next to the window, she sits next to the aisle with a bloody book on the middle seat, really pisses me off, so I always make the point of asking them to move the book so I can have the seat, normally get lots of moans as she moves over and sits next to hubby. To really piss them off, give them a nice smile and say thank you. Oh, and bloody Wycombe supporters !.
Sorry Monarch, Addicks think Chairboys are qwolity Another thing that hacks me off is -- why on sky are all the add breaks at the same time? I have to switch to the BBC to miss the adds!
what about when you go out for a few beers with the lads and get back late,the next morning the mrs asks you what time did you get in and you say 230 she then replies no it wasnt it was 4 oclock........why bloody ask if she already knew
I second AllHells comment, love having the Wycombe lads posting on 'ere. Only thing I hate about Wycombe is how hard it was to drive away from the bloody ground post-match
Sorry to double-post, but another thing I hate is the (in my opinion) massive over-reaction to racism in football. Don't get me wrong, racism when at its worst is foul and despicable. But yesterday after Joey Barton received his 12 game ban for violent conduct, Danny Mills suggested it was harsh, and compared it with various other bans, including the 8 game ban given to Suarez for racism - as though a few racist words is somehow far worse than elbowing someone in the face, kicking the back of someones leg then trying to headbutt somebody!
Watching Kofi Annan in benign and friendly 'negotiations' with al-Assad while this vile dictator continues to slaughter his own people with impunity. Talk about wake up and smell the Kofi...
Having to scroll down the Charlton Not606 page to see if any articles have been updated, coz the 4 'sticky threads' take up the whole screen. Also, how the 'Rumours' thread on CharltonLife is littered with things copy and pasted from FootballRumours. I know its silly to expect anything concrete from a thread entitled 'rumours' but I'm bloody desperate to hear us linked with some players! P.S, before I get shot down, I don't use Charlton Life, just check up on there occasionally for gossip
