End pavement parking in England

We should all be able to walk on pavements without worrying about vehicles blocking our way.

I think they should allow pedestrians to scrape past cars parked like this. They wouldn’t be insured either I hope.

Some **** parked a flatbed truck on a corner near where I live and took up the whole pavement, at the time I saw it a woman was pushing a buggy onto the road to get past the truck.

I don't normally do this but knocked on the door and asked if the truck was his which he replied yes, I told him he was a cheeky bastard and needs to move it, he ummed and ahhed but moved it eventually with an ear bashing that the pavement isn't his and people had to walk around it on a corner to get past.

When my lad was little I was pushing his pram along the pavement when I came to a car parked like this. I left a long scratch down the side of the car as I squeeze through. I wasn't prepared to risk my lad getting hit by walking into a busy road.

I’ve accidentally knocked a few wing mirrors out of position in the past but they’re a lot harder to do these days.





Err, I would imagine.

Constant replays, cut shots to managers bench, focusing on someone in the crowd, long shots on the subs bench, more replays. Showing famous (usually utd person) people in the crowd, replays from every angle - because they want to show off their 14 cameras....

Just point a camera at the pitch and let us watch the game, not the drama. I want football just football, like at the ground.

This could be a thread in itself.

The half-time interviews are the fucking worst of the lot.

Perhaps there is a contractual obligation but what's the point, at the end of a film, to roll the credits in a tiny font and scroll them with Usain Bolt pedalling the machine.

I used to tell my kids that my name was on there, and to look out for it.

I expect to end my days in a very cheap care home.

I think it was a technique originally used in porn films to scare people into thinking that their eyesight had deteriorated during the previous 90 minutes, perhaps?
 
commentators' meaningless whitterings:

Let me tell you (please, go ahead - that's sort of why you're sitting there)

In no way, shape or form (presumably for those who have always struggled with the meaning of the expression 'in no way')

At this moment in time (as opposed to a moment in what else?)

One hundred percent (when they mean 'yes')

I'm sorry, but... (why are you apologising?)


At least they don't yet use 'a better version of himself' - I heard a scouser (not that I'm a basher of all things Liverpool (not while there's a chance I'll get my hubcaps back, anyway :-) )) on the radio after Klopp left, talking about all the things he'd achieved for the club.
This utter git must have used the expression 'he helped the players to be better versions of themselves...' 7 or 8 times in a 2-minute clip. I was screaming at the radio in best FOC fashion and nearly went right up the back of a truck. Maybe he'd placed a spread bet. Git.

The only puzzle with him is how he's ever allowed near a mic.

There's only one worse that comes to mind, in my opinion - the radio boxing commentator who has OCD needing him to call the boxers by their full name. By the time he's said 'and Alexander Usyk catches Tyson Fury with a thundering uppercut' you know that you've missed a few other punches.

And that's not all. No exaggeration here, I switched on a fight after missing the start and he'd been waxing lyrical for a full 15-20 seconds about the venue, when seemingly out of the blue he described a punch and I realised that the fight had been in progress all that time.

He must be shagging somebody really important in that industry to be handed the mic.

Brilliant!

Reminds me of those skive lessons at school when you'd just be shown some educational program about the making of bread, etc...

Twisted 11-year-old that I was, I always thought it would have been more useful had that individual ear of wheat that we were following through its creative journey ended up in a loaf that, between final delivery vehicle and shop door, was accidentally dropped from a basket and unceremoniously flattened by an 18-wheeler.

"Listen to your mother - don't waste your food!" or something similar would have had much more effect.


(Apologies - I'm waiting for a huge data restore process to complete and have far too much time on my hands today...)

There are anti vax doctors and they've been trained to the hilt and back, however there are some strange fuckers that come out of academia too.

It's fucking hard to take anything at face value when so many nutters escape the non existent safety net they put in place.
