In Naked Gun i believe the line was I am serious and stop calling me Shirley, so yeah i kinda stole that but then the writers of that flick didn't come up with it either Shirley. Some very good puns in those films though Seth's left foot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Having worked in retail before and knowing first hand how members of the public treat you sometimes I always try and be nice and polite to people serving you, but sometimes they really dont help themselves. Yesterday in KFC before the match, there is a little counter were you collect your straws, forks, spoon, salt, serviettes etc before you eat. As is common on match day often these items are not replenished...they are busy I understand. So my meal is called out and up I go clutching in my hand my straw, salt, spoon etc...but sadly no serviettes, they have run out. So politely ask the young lady could I have some serviettes please....back comes a grunt 'is there none over there?' pointing to where I clearly have come from. I politely say 'No there arent', thinking what I really want to say is 'Yes there are plenty but I thought what the heck I will ask you for some instead just for the hell of it', but anyway off goes the young lady and comes back with a feeble 2 serviettes and thrust them into my hand as though I have asked her to do something totally outrageous. Sadly if you are going to have an attitude you will find that people treat you badly. I appreciate these young people probably arent working at KFC to have a career from it, but there is nothing wrong with a few good manners, and a smile.

Phoenix Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The fact that the cafe area in M&S in Fosse Park doesn't have any cutlery. Instead they grudgingly hand you a plastic knife with your food. Presumably, unprovoked stabbings in M&S must be on the rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be one of the best KFCs in the country, when it first opened, then I left and it went down hill Bridgford Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next series, getting the grown up Alfred part is going to be a dream role for somebody. Expect to see Ivar with a beard and a lot more spiky armour I reckon.

Stive Pesley Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Entrances to Westfield/Intu Centre in Derby where there are 3 sets of double glass doors, and only one of the doors automatically opens (essentially for disabled people, people with push chairs etc) yet able-bodied people still stand and queue to get through the automatic door rather than be bothered to manually open the other two sets of doors RIGHT THERE How lazy have people become? rynny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The fact that the scoreboard clocks in football grounds all stop at 90, rather than count through added time.

Bridgford Ram Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Also, international breaks. No proper football for a week - and I am not a 24/7 football fan. If it were up to me I'd get rid of all the international breaks, shorted the season by 8 weeks (or whatever it'd save) and then have the qualifying groups as short tournaments at the end of the season in odd number years.

Who are they protecting? The refs? Yes it's the rules apparently. As the refs can add further time on at their discretion (most commonly for timewasting in stoppage time). So the rules are that you can't show added time in case it goes over and the players, and the crowd start questioning the ref's discretion Same reason they can replay goals on the big screen, but they can't replay contentious decisions like offsides, handballs red cards etc Basically nothing that can undermine the authority of the ref's decisions WhiteHorseRam, rynny and Bridgford Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - how often does the showing of the minutes added draw a bad reaction from the crowd? Quite often it's too long (if you're winning) and not long enough (if you're losing). If they then counted those minutes down on the screen and the ref decided to add an extra minute or two for timewasting then no one but the ref is aware of that decision and crowd/players would start going mad if it went past the added time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
