Things We Hate

I prefer Michael Oliver to be honest.

There's one we can all agree with.

Re Paddy's Day...the Irish Disapora is one of the biggest worldwide and has played a crucial role in the development of countries all over the world.

Sure there's an element of the plastic about it, but it's no surprise it's a big deal in the US, Canada, UK, Australia etc etc etc.

Got into work this morning and started talking about last night with my mate.

This woman pipes up from the corner of the room (pretty small room, only 6 of us in here) "oh, did we win?"

I have two gripes with this question.

1) This woman has never, I repeat, NEVER been to a football match in her entire life (mid 50's) yet has the gall, the audacity, the bare-faced cheek to describe North End as "we". Stupid fucking bint.

2) If she actually wanted to pretend she was a fan, surely she should already know the fucking result of a home game. Silly cow.

People are so fucking retarded.

Rant over.

I hate working weekends. Can't wait to finish uni and get a proper job so I can get back to watching football.

 

[Abertawe]

Some completely bladdered Irish guy approached me last night, showed me his palms & slurred "These are the hands that built America"

Gwarnn Paddy.

Coming downstairs in the morning and finding my freezer door has come off. Not sure how that happened. My choc ices could not be saved.

How's that a complaint? Any Haligonian showing the slightest interest in the Shaymen is a bonus.

I hate having to cue up at an ATM. Particularly when the guy/girl in front takes forever.

Between them being slow and you getting the snooker gear out it must take bloody ages.

The amount of people that have spoke to me about City in the last few weeks and have gone 'I'm coming to watch us at Wembley!'

Us?!?!

You've never shown an interest in City in your fucking life, where's this 'us' come from?!

 

[Stringy]

*have

Cheers mate.

 

[Cardsfan]

Not to mention the plastic brigade who think they can refer to United as "we" because they watch "their" team on TV every other week.

Give me a break, no pun intended. Shit autocorrect on my phone and a hangover from hell due to St Patricks Day. Grammar is the last thing on my mind.

You certainly should have.

It's one of those things that people who aren't into football suddenly need to enter the conversation just to make themselves feel better.

Can't fault the us though. It's used far too literally in the UK so if someone makes the effort to go to London to watch a Bristol match, that person is entitled to say us. The terms of who can and can't use us while referring to a football team needs to be defined. A Us Code if you will.

The amount of soft porn fantasy literature that's doing the rounds these days, presumably aimed at sex-starved women. Strangely, the covers all seem to be of bare-chested blokes. Clearly, the authors of this shite have seen the success Twilight and Fifty Shades Of Grey have had and decided to combine the two.

'Cos soft porn for women soooooo outnumbers porn for men. Makes me sick.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Do you possess a commensurate hatred for all the fantasy and sf literature aimed at sex-starved boys, the covers of which (strangely) feature buxom wenches being ravished/Xena style Amazons dressed in outfits singularly unsuited to sword fighting? Cos there's a lot more of that sort of stuff, and it's been around for about 6 decades at least. In fact, I have the impression that you read quite a lot of books in that general boys and toys-y, shooty rockets, galactic war, not-many-interesting-lasses-in-this-book-are-there orbit*.

NB: Shout out to Philip Jose Farmer

To be fair to your "stupid fucking bint" (sic), she could be a Man United fan. After the first match last season, where we drew 0-0 away to some Lancashire tinpot team, we were on the bus back to the station and just half a mile from the ground was a bloke in a Man City top. Then at the station, queuing for a pie (as opposed to cueing for an ATM) was another bloke in a Liverpool top.

I would have taken the opportunity to bring said bint in from the dark side and encouraged her to come to a home game, possibly as your older, mature lady-friend. Reel her in. You've enough problem with most Preston kids thinking "us" is a team in another city.

Oh wait. Maybe she was talking about Arsenal?

Nah she's a reyt mentalist, I'd rather not have her coming to Deepdale, we have enough fruitcakes as it is.

Yes. And John Norman books are shite.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

So what of Peter F Hamilton? I recall from the old place that he was one of your boys (correct me if I'm wrong, obviously). He writes with a pronounced male gaze. Lots of sex scenes written from a POV of male titillation. Promiscuous, wank fantasy women described in loving/leering detail. Rich old men and their well stocked harems. Rape and sexual violence on an epic scale and penned with a pornographic sensibility. And so on. His books even have covers like this:

Dress it up in space opera garb and make it 900 pages long and we're in the same ball park, no?

 

[Pagnell]

Indeed, the differences are zero. Well done for catching me out old boy.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

You know, if all you want is to shout your opinions into the cyber-abyss without anyone replying or trying to develop a dialogue about it you should probably register on blogspot and turn the comments off. A message board is more of a two way street, and posting it here kind of implies that you're soliciting a response, that you thought it was worth discussing. So to get a bit snippy when someone does reply, and in an unoffensive/non-ad hominem fashion at that, is a bit stupid really, innit?

The way the state that country is, thats nothing to be proud of even if it was true!
