Was planning on selling my car send buying a newer one. On the way to test drive so car today a little old lady ran into me on the round about.
She is adamant that she wasn't at fault, I know for sure fact she is so now I'll probably have to deal with the hassle of insurance companies for a couple of weeks

I have heard it elsewhere too but yeah it's absolutely rampant in England and it drove me mad when I lived there as well.

Nothing to do with the name of a football team is it though
And when people ask about Ireland I'm pretty sure there are many people who will bore the arse off them so much they begin to wish they'd never found it on the map in the first place

I don't even mind if they can't find us on a map. I'd just prefer that when they are made aware of us, they're made aware of the correct name.

You'd be surprised how many people can't find this whole island on a map of the world, the name of a football team has nothing to do with that reality

That's basically my only problem with it. It's the official name of the team and so people calling them that doesn't bother me - people calling Ireland ROI as a matter of course does annoy me however (the BBC in particular drive me mad on this front).

Nah you're wrong as well. It should bother you that the name is wrong, I'd prefer a typo. Everyone is wrong!

They're all wrong to like it

My main problem is that a surprising number of people's entire knowledge of geography is based on international soccer, and this is just miseducating those people. And they have a hard enough time as it is.

Because of a strange arbitrary decision. But it doesn't make any sense as a name.

I vote that we rename all teams similarly. The Constitutional Monarchy of England has a nice ring to it!

My One Plus 3 arrived yesterday..
..but the "dash charger" came with a 2 pin US plug

Is it a big phone? Worth getting?

Dealz or Boots for a 2-3 pin adapter will sort you out
The charger is 110-240v so no need to worry about anything else

That's true, the input is pretty standard, it's the output where the juice is so any adapter should be graaaaand
Thanks

It did at the time as they had "split up" and he wasn't allowed to see his son.

Funny that she decided to give the multi millionaire a second chance!!

Brilliant.

Nice that they're going to sort out Palestine too before the Belgium match.

This is up there with their best alright, but my personal favourite was always:

Olé is just a cheer word, how does that not make sense? Other than being Spanish?

You're right of course. Literal translation being "bravo".

I was attempting (and failing) to seize an opportunity to slag off my least favourite chant of all time.

Had to laugh when I saw this in the dictionary under "olé":

Origin:
< Spanish (h)ole, probably of expressive orig

New chant:
Holé Holé Holéééé
Me hooooole,
Me hairy hoooole.

(Admittedly I'm squeezing in an extra syllable to the last line.)
