MakemineVanilla Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The Japanese have taken the whole no-shoes-in-the-house thing to another level and having to change into a different pair of slippers before you enter the bathroom, just adds to the sense of culture shock. But equally the Japanese find our rule that all children must always stand on the seats while travelling on the bus, equally as bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make people take off their shoes and socks, and wash and scrub their feet with carbolic soap. After that they have to put on disposable, plastic foot guards, and to make it extra clean, I put down a plastic sheet which I incinerate after they have left. I of course wear a full chemical suit and gad mask, for the full duration of their stay. I always knew you were a romantic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Talking about the Japanese obsession with leaving outdoor shoes at the genkan by the frontdoor; the most touching thing regarding this convention, was Japanese homeless people leaving their shoes outside their cardboard shelters.

villa4europe Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 i dont know whats worse sky showing people playing FIFA, having commentators of their own talking about it or then going back to the studio and assessing the game someone just likened a kid playing FIFA to Henry because he had that natural strikers instinct to let the keeper sell himself before taking his shot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Now this is something that definitely should piss me off... A family friend has been off work for the last month having been diagnosed with depression and officially signed off by her doctor. Last week, her employers (the local council no less) decided to send her a formal warning through the post for having had more than two weeks off work! Her union got involved and they were informed that it's simply council policy to issue such a warning to anyone who misses two weeks of work, regardless of the reason. What in the actual ****?! Now, this upset the person I know but luckily she was well enough to deal with it and was fortunate enough to have her union's support. However, it's not hard to imagine how this ridiculous policy might have a more significant affect on more vulnerable people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on the rare occasion they play something that I like, somebody else will be hating it for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Footballers on social media. It's the epitome of what this thread is all about. Really I shouldn't care, I shouldn't even look. But man, some of them, especially Villa players, are so brain dead it's unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
