CPFC BBS - Things that annoy you

You want to try watching the Olympics on Channel 7 down here. Or should I say the Australian Olympics. If there isn't an Aussie in it, they generally don't seem to bother showing it unless they've got nothing else to show. And when there is an Aussie in it, they spend the next half hour debating what the Aussie has just done, regardless of whether there may be another heat of the same thing on.

I'm so lucky. Right now on Channel 7 I can watch highlights of the Australia vs Venezuela basketball. Whereas on 7 Mate, I can watch... oh, the Australia vs Venezuela basketball. Their Olympics coverage has been nothing short of a disgrace.

Rubbish, if you take equal size drops from equal size bottles than you will have exactly the same number of drops

Sainsburys trying to be smart by switching where items are so that you spot things you wouldn’t normally buy and end up purchasing more. Absolute rubbish, all that happens is the shop takes longer whilst you try and work out where things are

But but but!....if you watch the mum doing dishes in the old TV adds the bubbles keep as bubbles for many more dishes washed....

'Injury prone'. Is there a single page on the BBS without these words anymore?

Taking someone to Palace and watching them not score and lose. Even worse when you promise them 'it will be different this time'.

I went back to selhurst for the first time in years from Australia and took the mrs only for us to have seats in the main stand against Southampton when Colin got the boot and we lost 3-1. Seats were also not under cover and got soaked.

Alan Pardew's "Leisure Wear" on Saturday.

There are only 2 options for managers as to what they wear on the touchline - 1) Wear a suit or 2) wear tracksuit/shorts.

On Saturday, he looked like he had just got back from a round of golf with his old muckers, Wright, Brighty and Woody.......

Andy Woodman's car, with its personalised number plate, sitting in the car park next to Pardew's.

I know that goalkeeping coach is an important position within a club, but is it so important that he has reserved a reserved parking space next to the manager?

In the scheme of things, not something I should get annoyed about but, to be honest, everything about "Woody" winds me up.

You are going nowhere faster than me.
You have allocated seating.
You realise passengers and luggage have to disembark before you board ?

I flew back from Malaga last week and plane was delayed for an hour. We were out at the arse end of the airport and even though their wasn't a plane on the tarmac idiots still queuing!!

Dont had to up our hold luggage limit at the ladt minute. Only to get to gatwick to find they have replaced the people on the checking in desks with machines so it wouldnt have mattered anyway as you can fiddle them( alledgely)

Germans calling Team GB "England". One commentator managed even to call Murray English!! No mention ever of of N.I. :-/

I wonder what the heck they will call us at the next Olympics...
