Random Irritations

Threads created to discuss for example what their golf goals of the year is or what practicing and/or exercising you’re doing, and people who “contribute” to the thread with “don’t have any goals” and “don’t exercise” and similar posts.

Great input. Thanks. Insightful. ?

Seem to recall a story from the 1974 World Cup that Johan Cruyff wore a different shirt to the rest of the Dutch team.

Yeah, that's correct.
The Dutch team were sponsored by Adidas, Cruyff refused ................ probably had other sponsors to keep happy.
As a result of this, his shirt only had two black stripes on the sleeves, the rest of the team had the usual three Adidas stripes.
Cruyff is the one with the armband on.

People who spend most of their waking days looking for bad news and then, when they find some, rush to the internet to share it.
It must be horrible to have so much negativity in your life.

And who can forget the Spurs side that had some kits without the sponsors logo on during an FA cup final in the early 80s - I think ?

My pet hate is those people do reviews on a product and give bad reviews due to the delivery company or something else not actually related to the product.
Or, on the customer questions section come back with such gems as “Don’t know, bought a different one”.
Are these people so desperate to get on the internet they just post rubbish?

Wasting money on different types of herbal/fruit tea - they all taste like dishwater (and that's being polite)!

Must stop!

The reviews must be false surely. "Ooh the gingerbread green tea smells and tastes just like gingerbread" - no it flipping doesn't!

The person who invents a fruit/herbal tea that tastes as good as it smells will be a multi-billionaire.

Because you've been poorly? I always go off coffee when I've been unwell. I've decided the best thing is squash/cordial with hot water - Ribena is good but currently finding Belvoir Ginger with a splash of orange squash is pretty good hot or cold.

Mmm, hot Ribena. My mum used to make us drink this when we were young and not very well
