    Friends has been on telly non-stop since it ended over 15 years ago, and on more than one channel too.
    Seinfeld which is the better show by a country mile hasn't been repeated in decades.

    Comedy Central should be just called The Friends Channel because it's all they ever show on it

    Some games are best played with a mouse, eg rts games like starcraft strategy games sim City etc
    Most pc games work with an Xbox controller

    I thought poster was implying that games should use sticks or clubs etc.

    Why are young people- teenagers especially so reluctant to talk to people on the phone? It's all messaging and they only call someone as a last resort.

    I find it better to email or message, usually someone's in a meeting, driving or halfway up a ladder and can't take a call.

    How does the mustard forum exist :confused:
    And why is it in Social & Fun rather than Food & Drink. What exactly is fun about mustard?

    I don't get why someone would want to talk when they could text!

    A van passed me the other day.

    DOG'S ON BOARD.

    Dog's what on board? What is belonging to a dog that is "on board?"

    I wanted to follow this van, wait until it was parked up, and peel off this apostrophe.

    But that's probably what the apostrophe's used the most for. Just used it twice myself in the last sentence.

    As the late, great Con Houlihan said anyone who would misplace an apostrophe is capable of anything!!!!!!

    On the topic of capitalisation/lack of capitalisation: Song titles in entirely upper or lower case letters. I get that it is supposed to be a style thing but.... why? Let your music do the talking! Seems to have gotten more prevalent in the last few years, particularly the entirely lower case songs.

    Harley "effing" Davidsons.

    The "effing" stands for fart.

    Anything with a motor that makes more noise that it could potentially suppress is a reasonably assumed deficiency about the owner/operator.

    Speedboats, snowmobiles, cars and trucks with unmufflers. Nuff said.

    Why so many people find it necessary to slap an apostrophe on every word ending with the letter “s”. A plural doesn’t need one. Please learn this.

    The sandwich one is correct! :pac: The letter 'e' is missing. :D

    Right. What it says about the poster is that he clearly hates noisey show-offs.

    Snacking.

    Adults using dog/cat face filters on photos.

    People walking around with their noses in their phone. Just put it away til you get wherever you're going.

    The Instagram aesthetic every woman under the age of 25 seems to think is attractive.

    Selfies.

    Mayonnaise.

    Reality TV.

    People who reverse into chevron parking spaces.

    People who don't reverse into every other type of parking space.

    Chewing gum.

    Sean nós singing.

    My dad's obsession with pausing the tv for hours on end instead of just recording stuff.

    Why would you want to reverse into every other type of parking space?

    Can never understand people reversing into spaces at the supermarket.

    The hassle they have when trying to load the shopping after a car drives into the space behind them can’t be worth it.

    Not only that, but they're holding up the cars behind them while they carefully reverse into the space. Some people need several attempts to do it.

    That’s it. I get it when you’re at the office, bit of a “power play”, you know? But at the supermarket, or anywhere you’re going to be accessing the boot, it just seems unnecessary and counterintuitive.
