Is it wanking?View attachment 127672
This one does look hard to be fair. Still, why the attitude?

Michael Atherton regularly slips in the "twenny" on Sky Cricket. I'm sure he didn't leave MGS or Cambridge University speaking like that.Being of the older generation, it irritates me to hear people pronouncing "Twenty" as "Twenny", even my own kids keep saying it, however, I accept that it's now prevalent within the younger generations. I do get particularly annoyed though with TV and radio presenters who are supposed to uphold "The King's English" but have slipped into this mode of speaking. Just listen to the BBC presenters doing the Olympics.
Horror of horrors, Sophie Raworth used the "T" word on News at 10. All hope has now gone!

Growing up in Failsworth and Newton Heath, anyone that pronounced it any other way than "twety" was considered a puff.Michael Atherton regularly slips in the "twenny" on Sky Cricket. I'm sure he didn't leave MGS or Cambridge University speaking like that.

What really pissed me off today was that my credit card was blocked for no apparent reason. It was incredibly frustrating and inconvenient. Thankfully, regent bank customer service was able to resolve the issue quickly, which I appreciate. However, it was still an unpleasant experience and a significant waste of time. It’s always annoying when unexpected issues like this arise, even if they are resolved swiftly. I’m hoping there won’t be any more surprises like this in the future

Blokes who pull those very small bags on wheels, you know the type.

Cases with handles of any size are an absolute menace. They're a tripping hazard, and their owners have a habit of stopping without warning at the most inconvenient location to extend or retract the handles.
And I saw Dr. Xand on TV a few weeks ago say they are bad for your posture, so therefore your back, and you are much better off using a rucksack or tote bag.

It's now the norm to introduce each athlete individually before the race. Some of the gesture they make when the camera focuses on them are embarrassing.People who make that stupid fucking heart gesture with their hands. Son of spurs in particular
ps stopping the introductions would probably reduce the games by about 5 days.
