That was probably Ian Neal. My son played with his son Lewis from U10 I think. I have some great memories of matches and wins. Wasn't so keen on all the nights spent taking him to training though. You didn't say when your son started playing as if it was as early as U10's they probably played on the same team.


As this is the irrational rage thread I'd like to add the behaviour at matches of the parents of some kids who played football.

Lewis and my son are still very good friends, my boy played for only a couple of seasons until he reached 18 and all the lads were rejected by the first team manager. Very political as I recall and as do all the other parents of the group.

Here's another gem from a person causing me much rage today


"I do fully understand your position and I can see and appreciate the logic of it, but it?s just that I do not agree with you ."


If this person had the foresight to provide some kind of counter argument I wouldn't be raging so much, but to just say "I do not agree with you". Dear oh dear.

The weather is warm today first capital connect suggests you bring some water. Ffs. Nxt they will be saying remember your hanky wash behind your ears and wipe yerself ... Well you know. Nanny state ? Nanny railway. Also heard don't forget your luggage.

"No problem" or even worse "No probs" and "No problemo".


A few years ago some guy was giving me a quote for insurance over the phone. After every exchange he said "No problem". I then said "Would you please stop saying 'No problem', it's getting on my nerves", to which he replied "OK, no problem".

But the real reason for tonight's visit is to say how irritating it is when fashion writers and shops describe a piece of clothing, or indeed anything at all, as 'luxe', eg 'a luxe sweater'.


Makes my stomach positively heave.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
