One of the most boring sports ive watched. Tried wtaching three times and fell asleep each time. Just no excitement whatsoever Probably doesn’t help that it’s shown in the middle of the night here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like MJ says cricket as well. Really boring sports. I have no idea how people get excitement out of those sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted February 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2023 Here's a nice read about how inflation is measured. London Review of Books Quote The prices they collected towards the end of 2022 showed that inflation was higher than at any point in a millennial’s lifetime; higher than at any point since the prime minister was in nappies (nappies cost 18 per cent more than they did last year). Of course, inflation isn’t the only problem with the UK economy: productivity is flatlining and house prices are at a record multiple of the average salary. But inflation is unusual among economic problems in having its own ready-made metaphor; this ‘basket of goods’ which is also stuffed with services, and whose contents – even without the challenges thrown up by trade union subs, pet insurance or the cost of window-cleaning for a three-bed semi – no actual basket could ever contain. In reality it’s a list, comprising more than seven hundred items, including small caged mammals and kerosene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I made the effort to go in for a series of in person meetings a couple of weeks ago, first time I have in about a year, and within about 20 minutes I was regretting it. Unless it's absolutely essential, I'm never going in again, it's shit, people are **** annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 2 fun things to talk about. I’m really getting into chilli recently, I think I’ve undervalued it over the years. In fact I think Mexican food is generally underrated in the UK. I’ve stopped using shower gel and I’m now using soap. I got given some posh soap at Christmas and it smelt nice, lasted ages and I realised it’s probably better for the planet not using plastic bottles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 In the first ever episode of One Foot in the Grave, when Victor goes into the MOT garage place to see where his car is, he announces himself as "Victor Meldrew, the crimson avenger". Its only recently that I realised he's talking about his car - a red Hillman Avenger! I initially thought he was referring about being red faced and angry (he was) about the delay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
