Why do advertisers keep recruiting the dreadful Brian Blessed for their TV ads? His voice does my bloody head in!

I remember you saying exactly that on another football website in a parallel universe.

 

[Drog]

Crikey! I can't rem that dave. But Brian 'Thrush' Blessed must have been on lots of times since sept 15 then!

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Dreadful?

Hes a classic Shakespearean actor! Unlike Sean Bean who’s on loads of adverts.

This:
people who take their dogs for walkies and let them crap in front of my place AND DON'T PICK UP THEIR DOGS SHIT and take it home.
I was kind tonight, I put it in the street gutter, I usually put it in the middle of the path.

No what I would do is pick it up and follow them home. Then I would return a short time later and post it through their letter box with a note saying “ I think you dropped this. “

On my estate most of the middle class dog walkers pick up the turds but still leave a bit of crap where it hit the pavement. Disgusting b*stards.

Journalists who don't proof read what they put up on the web news sites.
Just came accross "Eligable" on the ABC (aus) blog.
I know it's supposed to be quick and instantaneous, but standards must be maintained.

 

[Drog]

Correct. Didn't newspapers employ Proof readers in the past?

 

[davebirch]

They did, Drog, there's a "subbie" over the road, isn't there?

 

[Drog]

Oh I've no idea. Whose that?

Subway?

 

[Dunnfc]

People using those handsets in supermarkets clogging up the aisles and being ever more indecisive over what to buy.

 

[Drog]

Why don't they put rear view mirrors on shopping trolleys? So many people and particularly women appear blissfully unaware of their surroundings when shopping.

 

[davebirch]

Oh I've no idea. Whose that?

You know who, don't you?
Mr Kaynine and his alter ego.

 

[Drog]

Of course! I forgot. Who can remember 'Hot potato off his drawers pluck to make amends"?

 

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Whoever thought up the idea of putting little stickers on apples

People with zero awareness of personal space. Been Haydock races and Old Trafford cricket recently and on both occasions (in the concourse areas) had idiots stood behind me drinking with mates and slowly edging backwards so they're literally touching me.

I mean what the hell is that? Its so awkward to know what to do. Stick an elbow in their back, turn round and say "Can you stop backing into me please?". Absolute morons. I find it hard to fathom how anyone can NOT believe in evolution when there's so many missing links around.

I presume you meant they were standing in front of you?

I rem a similar episode in the Clog and Billycock about 40 years ago (kinell!). Myself an about 2/3 friends and their better halves were standing chatting at a corner of the bar and a bunch of hooray Henry's gathered behind me. Over the course of the next 15 minutes they gradually pushed me closer to the bar. When it became completely obvious what they were up to and impossible for me to ignore any longer the pin came out, I put my pint down, put both hands on the bar and shoved backwards with all my might. A scattering of the Henry's and Henrietta's ensued with lots of drinks spilled but no one challenged or thumped me and no one encroached again. It worked great but being short of numbers I might have had to think again if they had looked like they were hard bastards
