Tegis Posted August 16 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16 This is called "Fralla" in 90% of the Swedish landmass. Only the southern tip inhabited by (apart from me) numpties call it "Bulle" Bulle in the rest of the country is this: The **** state of this semi-danish peninsula 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 **** Prius driving Uber jizzblob earlier. Approached the roundabout in the right hand lane, then indicates left and tries to cut across 2 lanes. Must have got his taxi licence in Mogadishu. Or Wolverhampton. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post T-Dog Posted August 18 Popular Post Share Posted August 18 I cannot believe the vitriol towards Gregory and Gregory (Greggs) Between the most bottom end breakfasts (it's Maccies, it is what it is, I enjoy it, but it's filth) and Greggs (it's a bacon cob, and a coffee for a lot less) or a Phillpots, cold, bacon and lettuce sandwich and a choca mohca body shocker coffee for £79 pound... Greggs knows what it is, it knows where it belongs - Anyone else cusses it again and I'll fight ya 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 18 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18 One that’s annoyed me for a while… the quality of the “HD” coverage on match of the day. It’s **** dreadful. It’s barely HD at all. And it’s been like that for years I’m not technical enough to know why that might be, but it pisses me off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shittest Bakery ever that took over tons of better bakers and closed them down just to avoid competition. Now they have a virtual monopoly they peddle their inferior shite that at least used to be cheap but is now expensive and half the size it used to be because they've no one to challenge them. My god Starkeys was 4 times the bakers that Greggs are, superior in every product.. Three Cooks twice the baker. It actually makes me angry. I'd give my right arm for a Starkeys sausage roll. They were a thing of absolute beauty. And of any small baker does try to start up in their patch (which is everywhere), they just close them down by reducing prices or buying them to close down. Bastards. I remember Three Cooks. There was one in Sutton from memory. Also Braggs, as people have mentioned. There is a very good bakers in Lichfield called Hindleys. There used to be a chain of them (there was one by Horts in Five Ways) but just the one shop now. Always a big queue. Also a decent bakers called Birds in Lichfield. Lots of stores across the East Midlands region - sure @Davkaus and @bobzy will know of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 It's not all Gregg's fault, it's the whole country Bakeries in the UK are a race to the bottom, people don't want £2 donuts and sausages rolls, they want 5 of them for 50p with no consideration as to how they shouldn't possibly be able to make them so cheap Also dont think people ever stop to think about how "fresh" this stuff is, it's all part baked or thaw and serve, Greggs and supermarket bakeries have done a great job of convincing people that stuff is made there rather than being delivered part baked frozen and just finished off there thanks to a pre set oven That said festive bakes are to die for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted August 19 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19 I've never understood why people have to bring cakes/treats in on their birthday? Feels like it should be the other way around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
