People that are shallow enough to be influenced into making a purchase by the sight of a Formula One driver finishing a race and deciding that one of the first things he MUST do is put a massive, expensive watch on his sweaty wrist.

Have just discovered that there are 119 pages of watches on another thread. I will refrain from posting my fake Bangkok Casio.

Prams. Not pushchairs, not those small cribs in wheels, but full-on mahoosive traditional huge prams.

They don't half take up a lot of room! One has just barged into the small café that I'm currently sat in and has taken over the place.

When people comment on a joke posted in a Facebook group dedicated to jokes, saying something which makes it obvious that they don't even realise it's a joke - often it's someone from a certain subcontinent located around 80 degrees East

Example from this morning - someone posted a link to the spoof episode of Rainbow ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgbcQIT7BMc ). Someone then commented that it was 'not good' and 'a bad education for children' - it's a joke in a joke thread FFS !

It's a ploy to drive away all the other customers so that they can breastfeed in peace... silly

The pitch at Old Trafford. Why is it raised causing it to have slopes just off the field of play? It means anybody taking a corner has to run up hill slightly before kicking the ball. Wtf?

To help drainage?

Proper pitches are crowned.

Both my regular watches are so thin, and uncluttered, that I don’t know I’m wearing one, but
if I ever went out without putting one on, it’d be tantamount to going out with no trousers on.
Doesn't matter how think/thin or cluttered the watch is, its the straps that annoy the crap out of me. Sweaty, uncomfortable, scratchy things. I've tried metal ones, plastic ones, fabric ones...in the end I stopped wearing watches as I found I was always taking them off them when they got uncomfortable anyway. Then again I don't wear any other jewellery besides a wedding wing. I find that quite annoying at times too but I've got used to it an quite like it, likewise the ring biggrin

As for telling the time I have clocks in the house, the car, on my motorbike, spend most of the day at work in front of a computer, and even if I'm sat in bed reading I only have to tap the screen of my kindle to find out the time. Watches seem fairly pointless, and I now have a Garmin one that I only wear for running.

While I appreciate the info about the clocks that you have access to, and I commiserate about the straps that make you sweat or itch, my watches have leather straps, which fortunately don’t cause me to perspire, and I find it so much easier to glance at my left wrist if I feel the need to check the time, rather than ponce about, fishing my phone out from wherever it is.

All pitches in the EPL have that ffs. They don't sit on a plateau like Man Utd's. Why didn't they dig down?

Mourinho's advisers told him that the team needed lifting at that's all he could think of.

To ease Jose's path as he enters the tunnel?

Maybe Old Trafford engineering contractors decided it was easier and cheaper to build up than dig down. Either way, yours is the perfect post on this thread - it’s definitely beyond reason being annoyed about a football pitch being raised.

Googles "other people asked" thing that pops up.

I just looked up the name of an actress in a TV series I'm watching as I knew I had seen her in something else recently, but could not remember what it was.

Next line down is "Other people asked: Why did (main character of series) kill (character the actress plays)?"

Damn you google rage
