Chester40 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Olympic sports that aren't Olympic sports. The Olympics needs to be the premier event in that sport for it to be included. Sailing, BMX, badminton, rowing, swimming, athletics, shooting, hockey, gymnastics etc.. All good. People crowd funding for their one chance to shine, amazing dedication..wow. Tennis? Football? Nah.. But in particular.. Golf!!!?? Jesus wept! Boring as hell to watch anyway ...but seriously...watching it now and it's so clearly out of context with the games. Four days worth of multi-millionaires poncing round in an event they don't give two hoots about.

Apologies, you’re right, I misunderstood the game. I have a weird obsession with wanting to know where all my things are. Does that count? It’s a bit broad, so as an example, I hate being unable to find things which my girlfriend has moved in the house. Little things like a lighter for the gas stove. I go to grab it, and it’s not where I left it... The TV remote. Nope, not where I left it. Phone charger, likewise. The list goes on. I spend the next few minutes building up a rage as I look for said items. After finding them I calm down, but man it’s annoying! Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it worse than your scenario is that I'm the one who had it last! Car keys, bank card, purse, mobile, charger etc. I try to console myself with the thought that my mind is always buzzing with stuff and perhaps I lose the above because I'm on automatic pilot when putting them down but even when I try to be more mindful the result is still the same.

Turk Thrust Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 What is it with this fairly recent thing of saying “so” to start a sentence? It’s creeping in everywhere even on this forum. on The Chase, Bradley Walsh asked a contestant what he did for a living. Answer was “ so, I’m an IT consultant” and what would you do if you won some money “so, I’d like to travel.” This really irritates me for no good reason but it’s up there with this modern usage of that much over used word “Absolutely”. are you going out tonight? “Absolutely” Grrrrrrrrrr! ilkleyram, I know nothing, Wolfie and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree…also anyone who uses “pants” as a description for something that isn’t very good….I like pants, they are anything but no good. also, anyone who uses the term “holibobs” instead of holiday should be taken out back and buried.

Pearl Ram Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I’m the same with soccer. Star Soccer on ITV when I was a lad, Soccer Saturday on Sky oddly enough on Saturdays.

I thought it came from Association Football, which suggested to me that wasn’t quite the case. Happy to corrected though. The point stands though that no one I am/was associated with used the term soccer when referring to playing, attending or watching the game. ?♂️ Just to add, why then aren’t clubs known as So & so Soccer Club ?

Every club is FC, not one is SC ? Association football is the full name of the sport (differentiating itself from rugby football). Soccer was originally the accepted nickname up until around the 50s, before starting to fade out in the 60s (replaced by just 'football') Pearl Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big golf fan, love watching it but agree - Olympics is not about giving people who are on telly 49 weeks a year another chance to be watched. Ditto tennis, you have your place, use that or - alternately, have BMX races round centre court of Wimbledon just before the men's final.

BaaLocks Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 People who go on holiday and put out of office replies that just congratulate themselves on what a great job they do. Normally things like "I am enjoying a well earned break" or "I am disconnecting for a few weeks after a tough year" or "I am taking time to recharge". It's not a blinking eulogy, it's just telling people you won't be in the office. MuespachRam, Chester40, Leeds Ram and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
