Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

[4D]

How can it take so fucking long to fix a water pipe ?

Do you live next door to arriba?

[blah blah]

Unless Arriba is an 80 year old man or 70 year old granny, probably not. Street parties are great round here

[suttonred]

Sky fucking Internet

Yep its fucking dreadful. I had to move from 100mb virgin fibre as they wont dig our drive, and after 6 it's hopeless. I reckon the contention ratio is about 1-1000 the cheapskates.

So arriba's your next door neighbour - what are the chances

Doesn't annoy me in the slightest but I don't understand it. Quite bizarre - from both ends of the deal.

I love a Bounty bar but hate all the bits that get stuck in your teeth afterwards.

And, no, that isn't a euphemism for something else!

Isn't that just the coconut? Maybe you should try something with no coconut in like chocolate.

It's definitely unusual but I can see that there are benefits there. The most bizarre sponsorship deal for me is Sheffield Wednesday and....Azerbaijan - Land of Fire....WTF???

Didn't the owner of that company try and take over Sheffield Wednesday though? I thought that's how it was linked..

Well you're doing better than I am then - what are they?

[Tails]

Pretty sure they sponsored Atletico Madrid as well!

RC Lens too...

Well they might get some players from Uzbekistan...maybe...or maybe not

"In the future we want to put all efforts together to develop a good partnership base on youth development."

It's not much I know but it's something and I agree that it's weird. Actually, it also looks like some blokes from Fleetwood will get a nice jolly to Uzbekimfedupwithtypingthatname, so that's two benefits.

Sheffield Wednesday and Azerbaijan Land of Fire though, I don't even know where to start with that one. Why would you even try to sell a place as a 'Land of Fire'? Who would want to go to a country which was on fire? I wouldn't for starters. I suppose the Wendies directors wouldn't have minded as it would no doubt have been a freebie. Even so...

The world has without doubt gone mad.

Hmmmm ..... maybe they're hoping from a commercial windfall from a rash of shirt sales in the Fleetwood Club Shop Uzbek outlet

Think you and I perhaps have a different idea of what constitutes a "jolly"

Yeah, the branding is bizarre. As if Azerbaijan isn't a difficult enough sell, "Land of Fire"? Makes it sound like Syria or something... bonkers.
