Kyle Walker letting that ball run.

Does Kyle Walker being in the England squad belong in the things that annoy you thread?

No. F*** the England football team and its Brexit voting, knuckle dragging supporters.

The lady who was sorting out her bedding at her upstairs window stark bollock naked whilst I was stuck in a traffic jam on my way home tonight.

That skier who qualified for the Olympic halfpipe who can't do any tricks. At all.

She managed scores of 30 which is amazingly high considering. The scoring really punishes a fall. It doesn't cheer me up though as I found it somewhat embarrassing.

For who?

The sport. It shows up the complete lack of depth in the competition - she was able to consistently finish top 30 by entering events with fewer than 30 contestants.

I'm also amazed that people would crowd fund what was essentially a skiing holiday.

Seeing a droid texting on their phone walk straight into a great big red pillar box. Maybe I can understand missing a lamp post, but how can anyone have so little awareness of where they going. Surprised they did not try and sue the post office for putting it there. Still, cheered me up (and a few others by the grins on their faces).

This, and that she was disqualified for obviously blocking/trying to push over/keep herself up by pushing a fellow racer

Another thing that cheered me up, watching the dead heat in the bobsleigh between the Germans and Canadians (I think?), it was cool to see them leap over and celebrate with members of the other team straight away

Mica and Mica ( Meesha and Meeka) for GB and the Nigerian team in the bobslsigb keeping the Olympic spirit alive.

There's no circumflexing around the argument that he got the accent wrong and he's obviously homophonic.

It's dreadfully sad. Now the only option is to spend way more than necessary on a professional saw that I definitely need for the odd fallen tree/fire wooding

It makes me feel like I actually work in forestry rather than drive about in a pickup shouting at things...

Being in front of a Big fat woman who parked in the middle of a one way street cos there were no parking spaces left, lurched out of her massive 4x4 then waddled over to get cash from the ATM.

Because everyone has to suffer endless Shute in the papers about how great england are and they are going to beat everyone and in the case of this game endless pictures of their rugbyists running up hills with weights and all that..

The media actually fails to realise a) we don't care and b) we don't like English sports team.

Fair enough.

If you were talking about the media and football I would be inclined to agree with you, but at least the rugby team has had some success in living memory

Agree re success but if I read/hear about bloody Eddy Jones making his BLOODY team the fittest in the world or how England’s no 9 is their world dreaded enforcer and the hardest man in the universe (even more so, allegedly than Chuck Norris and He Man combined) then I’ll scream. There are other - and better - national teams in the British Isles.

As for the footballerists - well, say no more.
