Football commentators in the following scenario: Player takes a rasping shot that seems to be heading in, but the keeper makes a great save at the expense of a corner. From the resulting corner, the same player heads a chance at goal and it hits post and goes wide or something similar.

Commentator: "Oh. Player A could have had two goals in a minute". No he couldn't have, because if he scored the first chance, there wouldn't have been a corner and thus he wouldn't have had the second chance. Has been bugging since I first starting listening to commentary as a kid.

No offence , but is there a football rant thread , it's just I didn't understand a word of that

Also, women who think that being pregnant is a debilitating disease.
I was told today by a pregnant co-worker that before I even consider having children (even though I have no immediate plans to procreate, nor would I discuss those plans with that person) that I'll have to get rid of the bikes and get myself a "nice, sensible car to drive around in". I was then told "sure you couldn't be driving a motorbike while you're pregnant, you can't even sit on a bicycle when pregnant"
How about you mind your own business and concentrate on bringing your child into this world with a few less negative thoughts in your head nosy!

What is with the obsession some people have with having children?! Can people not be in charge of their own reproductive organs??

Ah, the gormless, content glow of someone who is now in possession of all the peace, enlightenment and wisdom of the Universe since some GAA-jerseyed poltroon knocked her up. Bless!

Someone mentioned Deal or No Deal and it reminded me;

People on that show come off so greedy it saddens me.

A guy is guaranteed about £50,000
He can win £100,000 if he doesn't deal and opens the correct box
He deals at £50,000 and he goes through the final 2 boxes to see if he had the 100,000.

He had the 100,000 box in the end and he acts as if his nanny died. YOU JUST WON £50,000. You came into the show with NOTHING. BE GRATEFUL!

Does your co-worker not realise you can't get pregnant if you ride a motorbike.

That whole programme is a pile of manure

The false tension created by that tool Noel Edmonds is just cringeworthy. The phone rings. OH HOLY $HIT IT'S THE BANKER! This is serious lads. Edmonds says about two words and hangs up - a very productive phone call.

The contestants aren't much better - "This is for you, Kate. I'm doing this for you!" says Jack to a blubbering Kate. [opens box] FIVE PENCE! FIVE PENCE! OH YOU ARE A HERO!

And repeat


Balderdash. Give me Countdown any day of the week

My mother is like this. She'll get three numbers in the Lotto and complain because she didn't get four.

But yeah, Deal or No Deal drives me mad. I hate when the main contestant consoles whoever opened the box because there was an amount in it they didn't want. Firstly, everyone picks their box at random - it's not like they had any choice in what amount they had. And secondly, you're the one who chose to open that particular box! If anyone's at fault, it's you!

Not at the same time, anyway. Unless you're Gary Rothwell.

Jaysus, I always had a soft spot for her, but forgot how pretty she was. That is only surpassed by the famous car washing scene in "Cool Hand Luke"

When your lunch isn't nice.
Made a lovely dinner last night, didn't finish it all so I brought the remainder for my lunch today and it was bad It shouldn't have been reheated.

By that rationale anything that doesn't burn or cannot be chemically processed by the body, such as ground-up breeze-block, is healthy.

Or people who joined weightwatchers the week after new years and are now qualified to tell everyone what is and isn't healthy because of how many "points" it has, go fcuk yourself you bingo wing sporting buffoon, getting off your ass and doing some exercise will do way more for you than buying stupid weightwatchers chocolate and wine.

Weightwatchers seems to be pretty successful if you're looking to slim down. Almost everyone I know who goes on it slims down pretty quickly. Once they leave it, though, they always put the weight straight back on again. They end up being slim only while attending Weightwatchers, and then bigger again while not. So it doesn't appear to do anything for long-term weight loss or educating people on healthy eating/drinking, and it allows you to poison your body with all sorts of crap food and drink. Not healthy at all.

If you're desperate to slim down only temporarily and don't mind putting ****e foods into your body (and dealing with the long-term effects of that) and don't mind your weight-loss being held hostage by Weightwatchers, then go for it.

If you're looking for long-term weight loss and good health I wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole.

When dropping the kids off at the pool, I always tear off some bog roll to place on top of the throne for a more comfy (and hygenic) experience. Usually 2 good strips for either cheek.
Some toilet seats have an odd slope to them, and no sooner as you think you've your seat laid, but on just checking before backing up, you notice the bog roll has slipped off.

gah!

I just give the seat a good aul' wipe before sitting. Some people seem to be able to hover over the bowl without touching it, and still drop the kids off.

Witch-craft, i'd fall over in seconds if I tried that.

One of the joys of my flat is the fact that I have an en-suite bathroom and I am the ONLY person that sits on the throne!

loud people that like telling you about their phonecalls.

I've just heard you have your five minute conversation. loudly.

please don't start telling me what was funny, I already know and I don't give a sh*t.

heres another one; why do you ask me everyday if I want some of your popcorn? I'm not putting my hand in your bag, dunno where you've been.

People that ask you... 'whats your name?' - your a d*ck shut up let it come up organically.

People that tell you that so and so fancies them... thats great n all, but I feel weird now

People that say yeah when you ask them if they need anything in the shop... and dont have change

People that don't turn their tv/radio down when you ring them

People that ring you at work, apologise because they realise they have the wrong number and then ask you...
'what number did I dial?'

People that ask you for an email address and make you listen to them while they spell it out loud for themselves as they write....

Almost as annoying, looking at the small black spot on the bathroom wall or floor, while you are sitting on the crapper, convinced it is moving.
