Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

[horlock07]

I've got my two in to The Pink Panther on youtube.  There are loads of episides from the 1960s, all around 6 mins long.

Can I just say this was an inspired suggestion sir... she used to be a fidgety pain trying to sort bedtime and put pyjamas on, now hand her my phone with the Pink Panther on and she sits quietly giggling and its a breeze!

Thank you!

The stupid song you always hear at away games, along the lines of...

"Small town in (insert name of nearby town which is probably a football rival), your just a small town in (insert name...) etc

What the fuck is that? It doesn't even vaguely make sense. On Saturday for example, we had, "Small town in Grimsby, your just a small town in Grimsby..."etc

Am I missing something? Are British towns and cities designed on the 'Russian Doll' principal whereby you have a huge metropolis such as, in this case, Grimsby and contained within in that a smaller (and, we have to assume, inferior) smaller town - in this case Scunthorpe? Could there be an even smaller urban area within this bizarre megatropolis, like Cleethorpes? The mind boggles!

The song should really go, "Small town NEAR Grimsby, you're just a small town NEAR Grimsby..."etc But then that would be factually correct and therefore would not be hilarious I suppose.

Maybe that's where we should be going with football songs in the 21st Century - Factual correctness...

So for Crawley on Saturday we could have...

" Medium sized town and borough in West Sussex, 28 miles south of Charing Cross 18 miles north of Brighton and Hove, and 32 miles northeast of Chichester, covering an area of 17.36 square miles with a population of 106,597 at the time of the 2011 Census,

Your just a medium sized town and borough in West Sussex, 28 miles south of Charing Cross....etc"

Meh...needs a little bit of work but I could be on to something...

When the fuck has a football song had to comply with any kind of logic?

If logik was required, football would be even shitter than it is.

Exhibit A: We shall not be moved (Manchester United).

"You fat bastard"

I'd love to be only as fat as some of the targets of this. Unless it directed to that McNulty bloke at Luton then just don't sing it

[blah blah]

Been watching Broadchurch, not a patch on the first series but OK none the less. Except.....

Those fucking Skoda ads in every break are bad enough, but there is one that I just cannot watch without getting angry. Theres a bloke sat in his car, sees some people running towards him so he folds his wing mirrors in to stop them getting knocked. However, the reflection on his wing mirror comes from the wrong side, or folds the wrong way or something, it just isnt a physical possibility.

And yes, I do normally record it and skip through the ads, but because its always first or last, I sometimes see it by accident. And that makes me even angrier.

Rant over. Until I see it the next time.

Fuck right off

Making one small typo in a work email so that I ended up writing: "Feels like I'm being swallowed by a black hoe". 

[Bewster]

One the email subject - at work we have a guy who really is an annoying antagonising cunt and disliked by almost everyone. He has got into the habit of finishing sentences with "pls" rather than "please"

I don't want to be a grammar Nazi but this annoys the fuck out of me (and it is so trivial)

Not sure, he doesn't have a dash cam

Rules out Samdy too 

[Red Frog]

Could be me. I happily use pls. Even though I'm not down with the hood enough to do txtspk.

Should I take it you don't feel warmly towards thx either?

Coloured strides.

Just what possesses a fella to wear mustard coloured troos - or purple/red

[4D]

Mustard colour corduroys are normally worn with a check shirt, tweed flat cap and brogues. Tweed jacket with elbow pads.

Correct. As far as I am concerned that's part of LucasFilm
