Things We Hate

[Johnnyt]

My birthday was earlier this month and my girlfriend bought me two tickets to City at Anfield. It was a really lovely, thoughtful present.

Its cost me £165 in train tickets - tickets with multiple changes and stupid times as its so late before the game and all decent tickets were probably booked up weeks ago. More importantly, she was worried they wouldn't arrive in time so I asked for a copy of the confirmation email and found out she paid £670 for them!

Spending this amount on my present is ridiculous enough. However, she stops working in February (baby coming in March) and is freelance so there is no maternity money coming in. We're also in the process of looking for a new place and I'm having to spend money on getting our current flat up to scratch before it goes up for sale.

Tickets arrived this morning and they are in L2 lower. Its about the shittest spot you can get in the stadium and probably cost a fifth of what shes paid for them.

I've had to come on here to whine about it as 1) She meant well and 2) I don't want to upset her while shes pregnant.

Thanks for listening.

Still waiting to sign. Been about 9 weeks now.

My side is all done, as is their side with their mortgage all sorted, but the builder they're buying off are, for whatever reason, dragging their heels despite wanting everything tied up really quickly to get a deposit down, hence why I had to go in with a cash offer. The place is being built, it's not as if they aren't doing anything to it, so I'm not entirely sure what's difficult about getting a contract signed and them getting some money in to aid with cash flow etc.

The sellers told me last weekend when I went around that they're moving out end of March regardless of whether their new place is ready but I'd rather everyone signs a bit of paper before I started buying furniture. There's a difference between moving out while theirs is finished and moving out despite it falling through!

Still waiting.

Why do all TV chefs scrunch up their shoulders when they, say, pour a sauce over their creation. As if they’re some kind of magician.

Really grips my shit

Why should it be Salty? This isn't a football thread. And you don't have to be a supporter of any team to have the same feelings. The guy I replied to actually posted in 'Things you like' thread...IRA - Geezers. Is he a Celtic fan ?

 

[Leo]

FFS! I've done my back in getting dressed this morning it's bloody agony,in the last month i've broken a toe,fractured a rib and now my back.

Apart from that....you doing ok Mowgli ?...........

I can't walk as my knees are f* cked as are both are arthritic the same as my shoulders and hands but besides that i'm good mate

 

[Luke Imp]

Still waiting.

Seems like there's a bit of movement.

Looking at March 29th for completion, which is handy because that's the Thursday before the long weekend for Easter.

Big sigh of relief from Luke methinks!

 

[Luke Imp]

Still not signed anything, though!

I know the people I'm buying off, so I'm 99% sure it'll go through but until I've signed something there's always that thought in the back of your mind and that's why I've not bought anything yet. Need to get a sofa ordered ASAP really, so I might just go ahead with that this weekend or next.

My next door neighbour driving off most mornings with his kids in the back of the car and a fag in his mouth. Surely you don't need a new law to tell you that's fucked up.

I think you'll find that it is mate. It's law up here and no doubt down south will get round to it....

[SALTIRE]

Another nanny state decision.

 

[JimJams]

Think you've misread Pags there Leo mate.

 

[Leo]

Think you've misread Pags there Leo mate.

perhaps my wording is a tad confusing? I read it as....Pags disliked the fact that the neighbour is smoking in the car with the kids in the back then says...'surely you don't need a new law to tell you that's fucked up (ie: smoking with kids in the car)'. My reply was supposed to convey the meaning that perhaps a new law is required as in it being a law in Scotland to stop that particular habit.

You reading it differently?

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

I admire you not backing down when you're wrong

I know it's the law, but surely you don't need it to know it's common sense not to smoke in a confined space with children. Unless you don't consider your children's health to be more important than your own gratification. Which I assume applies to my neighbour.
