Diogenes 6 Jun 6:59pm, 6 Jun 2025 92,249 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes Revisionist history. [I have no problem with David Beckham getting a knighthood, there are far worse people to have received that honour and he has also seemed to be a likeable, decent, hard-working fellow. He was a talented footballer who achieved considerable success at the biggest clubs in the best leagues in Europe, and in America. In that qualifying game against Greece, and in some other games around that time, his leadership and desire to win raised the level of the whole team which was underperforming given the quality of the players available, down in part to some uninspiring and safe coaching.]

Metro_Nome 6 Jun 7:25pm, 6 Jun 2025 8,216 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome I used to stay at a hotel in London for work and after a long day I would sometimes get a glass of wine from the bar and take it up to my room. I thought it was just very expensive wine, took me a while to realise they were adding a 12.5% tip each time…

Red Squirrel 6 Jun 9:41pm, 6 Jun 2025 25,575 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel That I have to carry a pair of tweezers in my purse to pull the station car park tickets out of the machine, because the little perspex flap pushed in back up when you lift it. What the hell does everyone else do?

RunningRonnie 7 Jun 7:01am, 7 Jun 2025 3,843 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie A really annoying radio add. 12 loud bongs, like from big Ben. Goes on for ages and takes up most of their advert. Then s voice quickly tells you that some estate agent is open until midnight. Who goes house hunting at 11pm???
