The popularity of guys like Post Malone, Takeshi 61x9 or most millennial rappers to be honest. I'm seriously questioning my own career choices when someone can come along, get all scribbles tattooed on their face and proceed to write dumb childish lyrics and end up being worth 17 million dollars as a result!!

Post Malone isn't strictly a rapper to be fair he's more of a pop artist and he writes some good songs why does it matter if he has face tattoos

People who say ceremonious when they mean ceremonial.

100% agree. I'll never forget driving on treacherous country roads in 2010 with cars in ditches everywhere + being stranded on M50 one night for 4 hours as it literally shut down as no one could get up blancharstown ramps etc.

Wtf would anyone want snow in this country. We are not able to cope with it.

I don't get toilet brushes at all. They're worse than useless. I use a dish brush myself, there's no point in using a brush that can't get into the corners of or effectively clean any part of the thing it is supposedly designed to clean.

Twice recently the toilet brush has had to be used as a poo breaker for some multi-flush stubborn bastards. In work.

Its not that the logs themselves were prize winners.
It was because I cover the seat with paper triangle, plus a knob guard, plus a landing pad.

All necessary because of the savages in work.
Just thought you should know that.

Tl;dr the toilet brush is an emergency device, and saves time when you have return to work. Means you don't have to wait on the cistern refilling.

If only we had some kind of service that warned us in advance so we could plan ahead

I wouldn't say that. I've been on the receiving end of tackles, there's nothing soft about them. I think a study conducted found that NFL players hit harder but it's evened out due to the padding, and the force works out about the same on the body, 25g's for NFL, 10g's for Rugby.

I also prefer NFL to rugby...

I think far less people would be interested in it if it wasn't American.

The whole small talk and have to say hello culture in the workplace.y s

I don't want to say the mandatory hello. Im not in a good mood and I don't want to be here. I share little or nothing in common with you and you make me slightly uncomfortable and nervous. I wish you no ill will. Its not personal. I just want to fade myself out mentally as much as possible for the next 8 hours. As a kind of anaesthetic.

Why must we exchange false pleasantries. It doesn't help. It only serves to make the day feel longer.

Without doubt, tried watching it tonight, very hard watch, commercialised to death and no one would watch it if it wasn't from the USA!

Players would be killed without them, it's easy to talk, but if you played,you would either need pads or medical insurance

Potential-Monke · 03-02-2020 01:45AM

The stopping and starting is a pain, and the actual game wouldn't take that long without all the stops. Watching a game live without ads is very different (albeit at a very amateur level in comparison, but still). But they make their money from the ads, and it allows the fans to get that next pitcher of beer in-between plays. I usually only watch the highlights anyway.

Most of the stops aren’t that long, mostly just a few seconds for teams to line up for the next down.
The longer stops are for when possession of the ball changes and teams switch, time outs or quarter breaks for example.
The super bowl has longer stops for obvious reasons

The Super Bowl is by far the worst game of the season to watch. Normal games aren’t nearly as bloated.
I watch it all season long myself but always skip the Super Bowl.

That is how I get perspective when anyone starts panicking that something isn't done. Noone will die if I do not come in to work. The worst thing that can happen is fines.
Presume you are in emergency services. If so hats off to you
