    As the Olympics are approaching I'll have three weeks of biting my tongue every time someone decides to turn 'medal' into a verb.

    Oh, and anyone who thinks having a blue passport rather than a burgundy one is in anyway significant.

    It's fundamentally wrong. That's all 8)

    "Medalling in the pool" - sounds a bit rude

    Yeah, the BBC need to avoid that one as a few of their old boys are doing time for it!

    Don't be so miserable, that's a sign of our stupendously successful post-Brexit economy.

    Insurance renewal quotes where it goes up, you get something way cheaper somewhere else and when you call to cancel with your current provider they 'miraculously' find something cheaper (to which my response is that they should have given me that one first time and I'm still cancelling).

    Still annoying me are the people who buy themselves one espresso in a coffee shop and then set up office there for the whole day while others are unable to find a seat.

    Mine stems from a Hotmail account I set up when I was 13. I have no idea why I chose it. It's my username in here because it was my username on MBUK which I joined when I was 14...

    But I've had it for more than half my life so seems a shame to get rid!

    People who say they are going to join the Glass Crankers footie league and then don't. I need a hollibob to get over this one.

    Just send a polite* PM to one of the mods and change it.

    No panic yet, plenty of time. I'm still focused on an engrossing test match this weekend.

    You can make free transfers almost at will during this window.

    Do you think I take this thing seriously?

    I have a pressure washer that suffers Xmas Lights Syndrome. It gets used once a year. Works fine when put back in the shed but a piece of useless sh1t the following summer when it is taken out for its annual outing.

    Songwriters who stick in random oh-oh-ohs and yeah-yeahs to fill the holes where they couldn't be bothered to make up words that fit.

    To Wembley, for the Charity Shield even though I didn't have a ticket - no probs, there'll be loads of touts so it's just a case of biding time & picking the moment. Except it isn't now, the days of many chaps buying & selling appears to have gone. That didn't annoy me though; what did was me sitting outside gate E 20 minutes after ko when security turfed out a troublemaker. I check to make certain; he's been ejected and can't go back in. Brill - I'll buy his seat then. Apparently I need to go to the ticket office to do that. When I get there the youth behind the glass screen flatly refuses to sell me the now empty seat, the only reason he can come up with is 'rules mate'. Why? To my knowledge there were at least 30 people still outside all keen to buy a ticket. There's an empty seat. Why is it so impossible for them to match supply with demand in this instance? I expect someone can come up with a 'yes but' reason.

    To the touts who I did find, it's the Charity Shield not the World Cup Final, and not worth £500 of anyone's money. And anyway Leicester lost in the end. Grumble grumble...
