About five years ago they didn't empty our because the lid wasn't full pushed down. It wasn't like I'd piled bags up on top. Literally about an inch ajar. Lazy twats

That does my head in.

To be fair this is one of the things I still love about this country, the idea that something like this is outrageous. If you go to Greece there's iron girders sticking out of the road and downed power lines next to the pool.

You make a fair point mate, but at the same time this is what we pay council tax for, for services such as refuse collection.

 

If they're a day or 2 late fair does, and yeah I know they've got staff shortages, but 4 fucking days (may as well say 5 now even if they come tomorrow)!

 

It's the recycling that hasn't been collected, the non-recyclable is due this coming Monday, are they gonna pull the same shit with that?

 

And also, why do half the street and leave the other half? It makes no frigging sense!

 

It also means a trip to the tip to get rid of the recycling we've amassed since Monday as we can't fit anything else in our recycling bins.

 

Anyhow it's a pain in the arse.

Remotes that are too sensitive.

 

Just look at the fucking third and it does about ten different things before playing a fan fiction Bluey episode.

 

Technology can do one.

Oddly unexpected angles your piss can come out at. 

 

You aim your flute as best you can, then sometimes, not often, it can literally go straight down, or 90 degrees left or right. Thus splashing the floor....

The council being 4 days late emptying the bins.

 

They've managed to empty half of the streets bins, but our half still hasn't been done.

Is it still the council who do the bins by you or a sub contracted private company?

Splashing the floor? Luxury, try pissing on your feet/socks or up your leg

As far as I am aware mate it is the council. I think they outsourced it years back, but then brought it back in house.

 

Doesn't help that the council is filled with I'm alright Jack Nu-Labour drones who are about as much use as a patio door on a submarine.

Exactly, 

 

It's a pain in the bollox. Ok, it rarely happens, and maybe that's why it's so bloody annoying, because you've literally no idea when it's going to happen. 

 

Kind of like getting a ride off the missus. It's when you least expect it,

Just run the line for my 14 year old lad's team. I pride myself on being completely impartial and I do a pretty good job. I had to disallow a last minute equalising goal for the opposition for offside and the abuse these lads felt like they could throw my way was something else. I can understand them being frustrated, but it was the correct decision and I'm fucked if I'm getting called out by a 14 year old kid.

I do this also, shite job. I had one of the oppos dad's call me a fucking cheat the other week because didn't call a throw in their way, wouldn't mind but it clear as day came off their player.

Welcome to the world of a referee. No unqualified linesman rules out goals for me though,I only do that myself. Ins and Outs only is your role.

Yeah, I explained to him exactly what had happened (the goalscorer had been offside when a shot came in, the keeper saved it and he then knocked in the rebound) and left it to him. He's reffed a few of our games and knows that I know what I'm doing, but if he'd have decided that on balance, a dad from the home team couldn't be trusted to be impartial in that situation, I'd have understood as well.

Its a tough one. The referee would have been better making the decision without your consultation face to face. If he/she trusts you then a hand signal,not noticeable to the players should be agreed beforehand. If I were you I'd use the flag for ins and outs and not wave it about as it acts as a red rag to a bull. A simple thumbs up or down could have had the ref looking like they made the decision themselves and saved a lot of hassle for both of you. You mainly though.

In our league, all the refs specify at the start of the game "throw ins and offsides". I did have one ref tell me to follow the play and not flag until the attacker had actually touched the ball. At 50, I'm fucked if I'm keeping pace with 14 year olds, so I just flagged from where the player was off. My original gripe was against the kids who argue every decision (they did in that last game I mentioned as well, giving me sarcastic little claps) - and that always stems from their manager.

If I was paid a quid for every moaning cunt of a teenager who argued with me over run of the mill decisions I'd be on similar money to Salah! I find the kids who moan are among the better players in their team but are really nothing special in the grand scheme of things. They just want somebody else to blame other than themselves as its bad for their credibility.

Every time I go upstairs on a bus I bang my head, then manage to do it 10 minutes later when I get off too.

 

This must be what Richard Osman's life is like.

Can you not do that? Might be better for you, and the bus probably.

Bit of a niche one but music reaction videos on YouTube.

 

I cant be arsed with people in their forties who pretend they have never heard of Michael Jackson and say its the first time they have ever seen the Thriller video.

I purposely delete recommended 'reaction' videos from youtube's logorithms for me. Who gives a fuck!
