Eh, no. Keeping it private is much more efficient.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I hate the ones where you turn off about 20 options and instead of giving the option to save preferences all it says is 'accept cookies'. I'm not convinced that doesn't simply override all the changes and they would argue that you accepted cookies. Also the sites that you can't view without accepting cookies.0

Had some rather classic holiday stress with a debit card and Italian self-service petrol station.
I get why self service pumps need to take €/£100 but man it’s stressful when you’re on limited funds - doubly so when you realise you have no idea where the petrol cap release is and you already put your card in and it turns out in Italy if you do not pump the petrol within a couple minutes you need to claim the full €100 refund by typing in one of five seemingly random numbers on the second of three receipts given into the machine. Oh and you need to type it fairly fast else you are timed out, which my dyslexia is not help with as I have trouble reading and remembering number sequences.
The locals honking at you for hogging the pump adds to the jeopardy.
Even then it takes 20 mins for the money to return.
Anyway, I have a full tank of petrol that I paid the right amount for. Finally.

Sounds like the sort of annoying thing Boomers do all the time.0

At least you didn't put the wrong type of fuel in. That's a proper duvet day, that is.1

UK football correspondents not taking local policing practices into account when complaining about foreign police at international tournaments (in this instance the champions league final). “Heavy handed response” is usually the complaint.
UK police are well known around the world to be the least heavy handed police.
What are these stupid fans expecting?0 -

I suspect time will not be kind to your post RC.1 -
It’s not just this instance - the Uk journos always complain about local policing practices.
At what point do you realise UK fans need to adjust to the locals?
What the UK rozzers let slide locals may not.

That’s how the local rozzers deal with them.
If ya don’t like the local policing practices, don’t go. It’s football, we all know the drill by now.1 -

Familiarly breeds contempt when it comes to football fans. Lived 200m from a prem stadium for 6 yeara- I know what they’re like.
Lucky they don’t get twice the grief from police - they get away with *a lot*0 -

Try reading foreign media rather than the British love in.
And then ask yourself why (as always) it only happened at one end of the ground?
If they had not fought them off with clubs, dogs, horses, teargas and pepper spray you risk having Chelsea fans causing another Heysel, or Athens.
Tw@ts should have done some homework on the CRS.
And yes I am annoyed as in the weeks leading up to the game when playing “guess who to blame” I had not picked local youths. Obviously UEFA and the police were givens.
And just to be clear I know that their will be innocent victims amongst the Liverpool fans but they have had 40 years to speak out about the criminal element in their following or not go as they know what will happen.1 -
For obvious reasons there are very few German aircraft left but as it is a 70th anniversary I am sure the old lady would appreciate the effortverylonglegs said:Is it too early to be bitching about next weekends 'celebrations' yet? Cromer are having a Spitfire flypast as part of theirs...I mean give it a f**king rest will you, the war is over and it's long past the time to stop harking back to it.

Turn your comments into black people in America know how the police in some states react to protests by black people. Does your argument still stand up?rick_chasey said:That’s how the local rozzers deal with them.

Pretty sure you've complained in the past about the Met using kettling to deal with protests that get out of hand despite it being their standard procedure in those instances. You really do have double standards depending on where your own views / prejudices lie.0 -
How about not behaving in a way to provoke the rozzers in the first place?kingstongraham said:

I’d have a lot more sympathy if we heard about Heysel even half as much as we hear about Hillsborough.
For clarification, both were horrific.0 -
Is the right time to bring up the disrespect football (most popular sport) shows towards hands? Hands, which made the wheel. The wheel, which meant not having to walking about everywhere on subservient feet.0

I imagine the most rozzers that Paris could muster in one shift is a couple of thousand at the absolute most. Now if several thousand people turn up he’ll bent on using physical confrontation to steal, assault and generally do what they want then how do you suggest they stop them?Pross said:

Not sure what that means, I was responding to Rick's comment that the football supporters / English media should know what the police are like and not complain about heavy handedness.surrey_commuter said:
