Random Irritations

[Orikoru]

So, your mate has a dislocated shoulder, your wife has had to take him to hospital instead of playing, and you are irritated because their misfortune has caused you to get a little bit tired because you had to play singles instead of doubles?

I bet your mate and wife will be a bit more than randomly irritated by your post if they see it!

Exactly! I'm glad someone gets it. ? Nah, I did say I was sad for the missus as well because she loves badminton but only got to play for 20-odd minutes. Also the guy who did his shoulder is a golf buddy so I hope he's not out for too long!

Euro 2020 still being branded as euro 2020

Even tho it's going to be held in 2021

Yes! Thank you. That's been annoying me too. Just change the bloody name of it to the year it's in, we're not all living in the past. I thought we all wanted to forget 2020 even happened.

That reminds me of a time about ten years ago when a work colleague broke both of his wrists playing badminton. Not sure how he managed it, but an office full of ex military personnel found it hilarious. Who would have thought that badminton was an extreme sport? ?

I once had 6 stitches in my eyebrow from Badminton doubles. It's an Extreme sport!!

I torn ligaments in my knee and was off work for 6 weeks, gave it up after that

Another irritation - the guy I ended up in singles with is a hard-hitter, in trying to match him I seem to have pulled my tricep or something. Bloody hurts today.

All the merch, all the signs, the millions of cans of beer with the logo printed on them, the uniforms for stewards etc, all the communications, every single document probably has the 2020 logo on it.

Also I assume UEFA and the organising committee probably had to trademark all the logos, designs, even the phrase "Euro 2020". So they would have to go through that all again.

Wife just told me she's finished the milk (I haven't had breakfast yet). "Oh, could you drive down to the shop and get some then?" (Would take 5 mins whereas I don't drive so would take me 20 mins of walking.) "No I can't do that I'm working." Well, thanks for breaking that bit of bad news to me then.

Wait, you don't drive? How do you get to golf? Are you an adult?

Won't the beer by off by now?

It's still Tokyo 2020.

I agree a fresh beer is a good beer. I was thinking more about the production line, having to change the packaging etc.

Just watched an article about the covid crisis in India, people are blaming the government for allowing mass gatherings to go ahead. Clearly some people can't think for themselves ?

Nearly 50,000 died of COVID in the UK since the christmas mixing. Inability to think for oneself is global.
6 weeks of patience and most of the greyheads would have been vaccinated but many, including my relatives, decided to take the "fingers crossed" approach. They were lucky. Many were not.

Lifts or Uber. I have failed the driving test five times spread out over 12 years or so. I hated it so would always give up for a few years. Have another test this Tuesday though. ??

Best of luck

However Uber must be a godsend now days for it

Good luck!

Most guys I know passed first time. I learnt when I was 19-20, so a lot of my mates were already driving and there was immense peer pressure on me, which probably helped me focus. Strangely, it seems socially acceptable for women to fail multiple times.

Maybe an absence of peer pressure is holding you back?

I think being crap at driving has held me back. We can't all be good at everything, I'm only good at utterly useless things like tennis and drawing.

My brother failed 8 times, once abandoned the test as he didn’t like his evaluator. Got out the car and got a lift home and one time he thought he was doing his final turn into the test centre but ended up going someone’s drive instead and the messed up putting it right.
Don’t give up. My brother is now on allowed to drive on the roads unaided surprisingly ?

When I asked the Art Teacher if I could do art for O Level he replied. "It would be a waste of XXXXXX materials!" And he didn't abbreviate!

Why can't Americans spell "Mum?"

People who use text speak in anything other than a text.
