Bleep1673 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 FFS, I am so cool today (demeanour, not temp) I have nothing to be angry about. My Brother is a supporter of Bury, and as I haven't spoke to him in 5 years, due to his arrogance, I am not as upset as some people on here. He lives in Swinton, maybe now he can watch something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindle xiii Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Gemma Collins. I am tempted to see if she has an autobiography because I absolutely despise the woman but I don't really know why. I would like to at least make an effort to know thy enemy, then my hatred may have merit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean where does it go all that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People trying to use the latest buzzword to sound all fancy when they’re really just talking about how something looks. These tend to be the people that all claim they love gin and "craft" beers as well and act like they are a completely new thing and they are the ones to have discovered them. Gin was first distilled in the middle ages! "Craft" can go into the category of buzzwords you're talking about as well. "Craft" beer. All they mean is a small, independent brewery. These are not new things! You know what the worst thing is though? When you say you like these things (I hate gin but hypothetically) and people just think you're jumping on the bandwagon when you've actually liked it a long time before all the "Optics" people discovered it! F off, stop lumping me in with all those pretentious #####! Edited September 6, 2019 by The Hallucinating Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Someone at work has dumped a manky old washing up bowl and a cup with what can only be described as an alien organism growing in it, in the sink! Worse thing is though, when I moved the washing up bowl there was a massive spider underneath it! Now I wouldn't say I'm scared of spiders but I am wary, anything with that numbers of eyes can only be up to mischief. They're clearly watching you all the time. To give you an idea of the size we are talking, the mug in question is one of those huge sports direct ones and the spider is about the size of the hole in that. Well I can't fill my bottle up now. I'll just have to die of dehydration! Bloody spiders, coming over here, taking our jobs and our women! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

The RNLI is a registered charity in Ireland the Republic of Ireland 20003326 The records appear to show the main income , over 10, 000, 000 €, comes from donations. A friend of ours worked in the RNLI shop at Youghal and reported on the generosity of the locals in funding the service through donations, fund raising events etc.. Can't see anything there that shows that the RNLI in GB sends money to Ireland. https://www.charitiesregulator.ie/en/information-for-the-public/search-the-charities-register/charity-detail?srchstr=20003326®id=20003326 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 This appears to cover Ireland and Northern Ireland. https://afloat.ie/resources/organisations/rnli-ireland I was trying to see if money raised here went to Ireland. In the experience of our friends at Youghal, there was never any issue of it being "Royal" My wife has worked long and hard here for years raising money via the RNLI shop, plus attending fundraising events and her rant is about the stupid ignorant people that let their kids sail out to sea in li-los etc and require rescuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future is League Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Talking about rants for the 2nd weekend running i got held up on a certain motorway with road works, but the annoying part about this was that in the 6 miles of road works there wasn't a single worker and there are no road works there in the week. Whats the point is closing lanes at weekends when there doesn't appear to be anyone working on them. Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
