Stupid little things that bug you

[mexico1970]

This is the wrong thread because it ain't little and it's really annoying me but I don't know where else to put it.
I've just come across a bbc online site that is in Pigdin English. Deliberately in pigdin English.
This is a snippet.....
If number of military volunteers officer reduce, dem fit call up her number. Di lower di number be, di more likely say dem go recruit am into army.

It says its a news service for Nigeria , if so, why is my 91 yr old mam paying £176 for this shite to be done and second, it's not even accurate. Surely it's de lower not di lower ?

The bbc is just huge waste of money.

It's got to be a prank surely?

By who (whom ?)
I really hope the bbc are not wasting money on this shite.

Edit. It is genuine. It was launched in 2017.
The bbfuckinc are paying people to write shite. Is no one in charge anymore ?
It's turning into a Monty Python sketch

Mates / people that bang on to me about their gambling - their football bets for the day or whatever else they're bothering with.

How many times do I need to say I don't do betting and couldn't care less about yours, but nope, they still have to tell me. Yawn.

Just seeking validation mate. Let the gamble all they like, only one winner there

Good fuckin' grief :-)

 

[.db.]

Football clubs/fans who just copy other clubs/fans with chants and songs.

Sheff Wednesday here singing ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ pre-game. That’s Wolves, Villa and Weds who sing that before the game… anyone else?

Worst one of ours was when we copied the Firmino chant for Zinchenko and still sang the Portuguese ‘sim senhor’ bit from the Firmino chant even though Zinchenko is Ukrainian.

 

[give it to gordon]

Kids walking around supermarkets in their dirty football kits after their morning game.
The worst thing is they are still, wearing their football boots. My old man would mad at us as kids if we walking around on hard surfaces with our boots on. I guess refs dont test the sharpness of the studs any more before a match.

I've already confirmed that itcwas genuine.
My point is why are the bbc paying staff to write the reports.

Especially when my 91yr old mum is forced to pay £174 a year for a licence. Until a few years back she got it free, perhaps if they were run properly like a normal business has to be, they wouldn't waste so much money.

Also on football chants again…

Chants where the originators have made it up because their club/player/manager’s name rhymes with the lyrics of the song, then another set of fans pinch the song for their club/player/manager but the name doesn’t rhyme with the lyrics.
