Random Irritations

[PNWokingham]

People have every right to know when the King’s reign is potentially shortened. These are all parts of their life they should turn over to the public imo.

not the time to start talking about dying. give it a break. It is a newly found illness and more details will be forthecoming when the family are ready

He'll be wanting to know what crap paper they use next. Perhaps to wipe his own mouth.

Sounds like another bit of tech that someone thought was a good idea but really isn't

I have it on mine. I find it really useful on long motorway journeys. You get main beam when you need it and you don't worry about blinding someone if you forget to turn your main beam off.

Did I raise the issue or were words put into my mouth?

Just accept others have different opinions to you on the royals.

Likewise.

 

[TimShady]

Likewise.

I’m not trying to convert anyone to republicanism, I’ve just stated my irritations with what’s been put out so far about the King’s condition and the royals in general. It’s what this thread is for, no? Then my opinions (not uncommon ones by the way) are being challenged.

Just paid for new windows and bifolds... Only to see 10 quid added as 'energy surcharge'. In the scheme of things, it is a small amount, but not knowing about it when we signed the contract really irritates me. I questioned them, and they say that this is a compulsory levy on all glazing products

That's a pane in the bum right enough

Ok, I give in. What is WWE and who are these people ?


ETA, after a great deal of effort ( well a couple of minutes) I found the following research summary

As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not true contests but entertainment-based performance theater, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and partially choreographed matches; however, matches often include moves that can put performers at risk of injury, even death, if not performed correctly. The pre-determined aspect of professional wrestling was publicly acknowledged by WWE's owner Vince McMahon in 1989 in order to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. WWE brands its product as sports entertainment, acknowledging professional wrestling's roots in competitive sport and dramatic theater

i have to say that I can’t see the attraction, though it appears that millions, literally millions, of other people do.

Used to be known as WWF but they had to change it because of the World Wildlife Fund. You must have heard of the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, The Undertaker and so on? Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) maybe?

This would explain why I found that WWF Nature Boy documentary so confusing.

Could always opt for Hacksaw Jim Duggan. All you need is a plank of wood. Rowdy Roddy Piper is another recognisable but easy option.

If in doubt, get on the doughnuts now and call yourself "The Big Show"

No, I’ve not heard of any of them. When I was much younger my dad and I used to watch wrestling on black and white tv on a Saturday afternoon before the pools results, vague memories of Mick Macmanus and David? Royal . I seem to recall the baddies always black trunks and the goodies wore white trunks. Was there a tag team called Royal Brothers?

They would be a cheap dressing up theme …..black or white budgie smugglers

They are currently advertising ‘hands free Supercruise control’ on Chevy pickups, so for some muppets this probably seems like a small step.

Driving in the dark or dusk, modern car lights are too bright and blind. It doesn’t help being low down but even so the lights are so bright I get dazzled and cannot see in front of me.
I never had this issue in my SUVs
