Stupid little things that bug you

[stevemacca]

Football commentators on the radio who say '(insert team name here) kicking from left to right'

Not if you are sat in the stand opposite, daft ****!! Then they are kicking right to left
Why do they not understand that??

I have lost so many radios in the river because of that stupidity

It’s so cunts can email a massive group of people and get a shit load of read receipts back to:

a) make themselves look popular with all the email notifications going ping ping ping
b) land you in the shit when you say “nope, I never saw that email”…”oh you mean this one that you read at 11:54am Tuesday before last”…basically used by snitching cunts with nowt better to do

People who come back off holiday and announce proudly they have eg 953 e mails in their inbox to give the impression they are busy and/or important.

Listening to the commentary of France last night, the commentator suggested the audience should look away now if they had taped the earlier game.
He then proceeded to tell everyone what happened in the earlier game.
So if you looked away when he said - well done!
You will then have had confirmation that he is a thick twat.

Mrs Gordon pissed off

Just turned onto BBC 1 to watch the repair shop as shown only to find bloody Murray play tennis..

And to make things worst our sky box has started recording the bloody tennis as that thinks it's the repair shop !

We dont like tennis :(

But you obviously like the repair shop as not only were you going to watch it, you were recording it !!!!

Andy Murray and Repair Shop go together somehow - his documentary was called Resurfacing, largely about the surgical work done on his hip - so I can see how the Sky box got confused.

TV presenters waving their arms around when out on location. Worse than a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tubeman from Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse some of them. Especially those that have exaggeratedly spread fingers.

Truth added.

That has to be the funniest "correction" of a post that I've ever seen on here!

You mean like this?

If you're sat in the stand opposite, why would you be listening on the radio?

 

[stevemacca]

If you're sat in the stand opposite, why would you be listening on the radio?

Because you're visually impaired?

 

[Cellarite]

Because you're visually impaired?

Then it doesn't matter which way they're are kicking from your perspective.

I'm sure these visually impaired spectators wouldn't want you throwing your radio into the river on their behalf.

People who believe Edward II was murdered by having a red hot poker shoved up his arse. It's a myth, as the best historians of the period now agree.

What is worse is people who find the myth amusing. If you are amused by the notion of rape you are a sick puppy.

Precisely, radio commentary is for people who aren't there and who take the commentator's perspective as their own.

And their names are? Both of them, please.

Kathryn Warner and Ian Mortimer will do for a start.

Knowing where the commentary came from, you could always sit on the same side or watch the game via a mirror or use an Audio mirror.

But you don't know what side the commentary is coming from as its on the radio and you can't see them
And to watch in a mirror means you have to face away from the game, so the girl sitting behind might think you are looking up her skirt (which may be more interesting than the game tbh)

Too late - its gone whether they like it or not

Why do we need to know which way a team is attacking anyway? It's not we ever hear, "And there goes Sergio Aguero on a mazy run, leaving midfielders and defenders in his wake as he bears down on the opposition goal on the right hand side of the pitch".
