VulcanRam got a reaction from MuespachRam in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
Technically this is correct though. If a goal is scored in the 20th minute of a game, it will be recorded as such, even if the ref has previously stopped the game, stopped his watch and we've only technically been playing for 16 minutes.
If a goal goes in 97 minutes after the game has started, it's a goal in the 97th minute. For the purpose of recording the time of the goal, what is actually on the referee's watch at that time is immaterial.
If there's a 10 minute stoppage and a goal goes in 97 minutes after the game has started, even though the time on the ref's watch only says 87 because he stopped it earlier, it's not recorded as a goal in the 87th minute, is it?

Mother in law. Let's call her Doris.
Frantic call on Sat afternoon...
Doris: "I'm at the auctions and there's a job lot of those baby wipes you use for £100 - I've looked on Amazon and that's £35 cheaper than retail!"
Me: No thanks Doris, i don't really want to spend £100 on baby wipes or store a cubic tonne of them in my attic.
Doris (offended): "Well that's silly, you'll buy them anyway"
Me: "Yeah but over a period of 2 years!"
Doris: "Fine."
Later that day, Doris arrives, with a boot load of baby wipes, smug as ****.
Me: "WTF Doris I said No!"
Doris: "Well you were being silly and don't worry - you can pay me back over a period of 2 years if you must."
I now have a cubic tonne of baby wipes and £100 less money.
******* Doris.

I believe mine is rather marvellous. I've had it for 40+ years and it's never been used either.

I haven't posted pics on here before so I hope this works.
i inherited this mug from my dear old dad, who inherited it from his parents. It's probably the best thing I own!

Now then young Vulcan. No need to get stressed. Do you ban Uncle Ben's rice from your house?

Ok, here's something that really, REALLY annoys me.
Mel Morris is the owner and chairman of Derby County Football Club. As far as I am aware, he is not related to many of the posters on this board.
So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Uncle Mel"? He isn't your ******* uncle (unless he actually is your uncle, in which case consider yourself excused. And lucky.) so don't call him "Uncle Mel".
Nigel Clough is 50 years old. That, granted, isn't exactly pushing up daisies territory, but neither can he be considered young. So WHY WHY WHY do people insist on calling him "Young Nigel"?
Honestly, it does my head in. Please stop.

VulcanRam got a reaction from Tony Le Mesmer in Random stuff that people do that annoy me
yeah it's why if you do have someone on the other line there's normally a delay in them asking "Is that Mr Le Mesmer" as they try to work out who's answered the phone! All done automatically. Not very interesting but if it helps lessen your annoyance, glad to have helped!

Absolutely - plus add to that, we don't seem to value the right professions

Seriously - both Marketing/Sales Directors and Advertising/PR Directors are better paid than Doctors?!!
FFS - one of these professions could save your life!!
