MikeO Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 My ebay account has suddenly (for the last couple of weeks) decided I live in Tuvalu. Can switch delivery for anything I buy but all listings, no matter how much I play with the settings, give me delivery costs to the south pacific.

MikeO Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Illeism (google it, that's how I found out what it was called). Someone on another forum I use is guilty of it and I really want to tell him how big a twat it makes him look, but it's much better mannered than this place so I need to hold back.

Matt Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 people not knowing the difference between initialism and acronym! Apparently not even Google's spell checker, which doesn't recognise initialism as a word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just irks me when I see the acronym 'FIFA' no matter how its written. The most disreputable organisation on the planet.

Louis Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I can't believe it's all bad, John. The problem is the politics and a president clinging on for power. I think it may even be a case of better the devil you know with Blatter. I'm interested in it and following the campaign, Jerome Champagne is struggling to get his nomination, Ginola has no chance and was paid to run for PR reasons by a bookmaker, Prince Ali of Jordan may get the votes but even then he doesn't have unanimous support from Asia. Ironically, Ali will get more votes from Europe than Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Eurosport.. I've been watching some of the Asian Cup, they've had all the group stage games and now they've decided not to show the quarter final stage because of a tennis tournament in Melbourne.

I've been watching some of the Asian Cup, they've had all the group stage games and now they've decided not to show the quarter final stage because of a tennis tournament in Melbourne. The tennis has been going on while the group stage of the Asian Cup has been on, so why the change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I think you're right.. the tennis has taken precedent over the Asian Cup. The final games of Group C and D were not shown. The quarter finals won't be shown and the next games to be shown on Monday are the semi-finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Got up yesterday morning and thought it was a bit chilly. Put my hand on the radiator and it was almost cold. Went to the boiler and it was off. Tried getting it started, no luck. Phoned the guy who services our central heating and got his answer phone. Left a message and he phoned back about 9.30. He arrived at 2.00 pm and had it up and running by 3.00 pm - good guy. Had every electric appliance we have on the go but doesn't seem to make much difference. Freezing cold Monday morning. Just what you need. :shaking fist: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Facebook. I only registered on it to monitor what my lad was up to when he was younger and he remains my only "friend". Now for two different reasons I have to engage with it again, hateful thing. (On the other hand I did manage to have a conversation with Ella Fitzgerald's daughter on it a few years back to ask her something about her mum so I guess it has its uses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) MikeO, a company I worked for for 30 years (which is now defunct - nothing to do with me, honest) has a website set up on Facebook. I was asked to join as I provided a lot of information for the site. I recently had contact from someone who wanted information on their pension fund from when they worked there for 10 years, 40 years ago. I was able to help so it does have its uses.

rubecula Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hate February Every February things go wrong. Heart attacks, cancer scares and my more recent serious illness were all in February. I was sure my health would be fine this year, and so far it is. BUT just had the news that my car I bought just before Christmas is now written off following it being hit by a boat. Where in hell will I get another one as good? :shaking fist: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
