Stive Pesley Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've been wanting to start this thread for ages As the "Random stuff that annoys me thread" reaches 100+ pages, it is pretty clear that we could solve the world's energy crisis if we somehow harnessed man's natural ability to complain about things. So, as one poster accused me of having "no balance" I thought I'd try and tip the scales of karma and start this one up as well. Let's see if it is just as popular? So I will start with an easy one. When you read through a lengthy online debate and you disagree with what people are saying, so you stick your neck out and say something - get a torrent of abuse back - and then suddenly someone you don't know pops up and agrees with you. Immediately restoring both your faith in humanity and the thought that you may be going mad. rhysbeck, Carl Sagan, ramit and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I like it Steve and I shall be using this thread a lot also but for some reason it's human nature to look at negatives and not highlight positives which I've never understood. Let's change it! I think I read on the Brentford thread about a fan who dropped his wallet or something and a man found it and gave it back to him. This happened to me once as well as my mobile phone on a separate occasion and I got them both back. There are some decent folk in the world. Just not in Parliament.

Muskination Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 When you're having an online debate and you disagree with what people are saying even though they resort to name calling, and later down the track you watch as the view you were proposing materialise.

Stive Pesley Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Nice one Muski - on a similar note, when you disagree violently with someone online about a particular subject but then on another topic you find that you have common ground. You realise that we all come into this world the same and we're not always so different as it sometimes feels 33 minutes ago, Tony Le Mesmer said: I like it Steve and I shall be using this thread a lot also but for some reason it's human nature to look at negatives and not highlight positives which I've never understood. Let's change it! I did consider proposing that no one was allowed to post in the annoyance thread without posting one here as a counter balance, but that seemed a bit too draconian!

Gypsy Ram Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Steve's media interviews. So much more inspiring compared to the two previous dead fish we had as managers. Stive Pesley and Fraser_23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm happily married, early 40's & certainly no Brad Pitt but do try & look after myself. I've never cheated and never will but I have to admit it does give me a spring in my step when I get checked out at the gym or out & about.

Phoenix Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 My daughter's next door neighbour who, having got home at 10-30 pm after a 12 hour shift, spent 90 minutes tracing an electrical fault and getting her (and her 5-y-old daughter's) heating and lighting up and running. Before you ask, she lives 12 miles away, and her mobile phone had just gone dead and she couldn't charge it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Waking up on a Saturday morning the slow realisation that it is Saturday and therefore no work... on the flip side to that, I had 15 minutes this week where i woke up and was thinking it wasn't Friday and it was only Thursday...now that should go in the other thread.

ramit Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Last night i drove to the airport to pick up friends returning from Spain. i really like watching people reunited, the joy and love there for all to see, while blissfully unaware of anyone else around. Brings a smile to face every time. DarkFruitsRam7, i-Ram, Carl Sagan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 When you watch a current entertainment programme on the telly and as if by a miracle there is no sign of James Corden anywhere. Ahhhhhhhh what a refreshing change. I've turned a negative into a positive. Stive Pesley, Bridgford Ram, Wolfie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lead to believe they're even better after they've been subjected to a frost. I do love 'em though but they have to be cooked al dente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
