Stupid little things that bug you

Aztecs in Brum, wow!
The Jukskie might be the largest river in Joburg which just proves my point. It is a rocky stream far too shallow for transportation or much else. Google a pic of it.

Halfmist said "developed" next to a river IIRC. The Jukskie has been developed over.
"The Jukskei begins in Ellis Park in Johannesburg. Its original spring was on the former Doornfontein farm, which measured at 18,000 litres per hour, but has since disappeared under subsequent urban development"
Bit like the Medlock ?

Fine. Keep on insisting that this is a river and that Alexandra is where Joberg developed if it pleases you.
Next you’ll be telling me that Madrid developed because of a river and had nothing to do with the king picking this site as a unifier.
Carry on.

The Platte River starts as two tributaries high in the Rocky Mountains, one of which flows down across Colorado (through the city of Denver), the other through Wyoming, to finally meet in Nebraska.
The Jukskei River is one of the largest rivers in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the southernmost river in the Crocodile River basin.
The Manzanares is a river in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, which flows from the Sierra de Guadarrama, passes through Madrid, and eventually empties ...
The River Rea (pronounced "ray") is a small river which passes through Birmingham, England. It is the river on which Birmingham was founded by the Beorma tribe
Initially called Anahuac by the Aztecs – meaning 'close or next to water' – the Mexico City valley boasted 45 rivers running down from the mountains into various bodies of water, creating a vibrant ecosystem of marshes and wetlands.

That’s just what I was about to type. It’s a good job I read your post before replying to David Attenborough.

I told a friend of mine severn times not to go on about this, in tyne he'll lose friends over his obsession.
 
In a twist to the thread (whilst still technically on topic), I feel I have to mention the woman behind me in 110 last night. A poisonous, ginger headed little fucker who thought it was her night. A cackle of a laugh like the Wicked Witch of the West, language that made most around her cringe, and all around - the worst person I've come across in almost 40 years of watching City.

She seemed to know numerous dodgy looking people around us so asking her to shut up wasn't an option. In the first half, she told someone two rows down from her a story that she'd seen a lad wearing an Arsenal shirt in a pub prior to the match and told him "Get that off you ****." He'd told her to calm down, she'd replied "I won't calm down you ****, until you take that fucking shit off, you ****."

She then started the "Ryan Giggs is illegitimate" song from the 90's complete with "he's a M***** bastard", on her own I might add.

The little lad with his Mum and Dad to her left was visibly scared of her but instead of toning it down, she tried to talk to him before reverting back to her previous behaviour. Fuck off back to Oldham, we don't need "fans" like you.

I assume you didn't shag her after the match then...
