"Some people lost their sh1t over that. The level of pearl clutching was insane, 1 poster had the decency to say I thought it was just a joke. Boston.
I think part of the problem is that the frustrations have probably built up over time and people may not pearl-clutch if another person said the same thing. This may be a case of 'playing the man, not the ball' but that will be as a direct consequence of how a person has conducted themselves over many months/years. |

Each person is of course entitled to act how they wish. Ignore any posts/conversations they don't want to engage in or use the ignore button, either way is fine. Personally, I just ignore any posts I don't want to engage in.
However, responding to posts, any posts, does encourage behaviour.
As Oscar Wilde said "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about". Don't feed the beast, as it were. |

True! Was never known as a results business then. If not on there already (maybe I’ve already added it!) I’ll add it to the glossary thread! |

Sadly football used to be an entertainment business. That ship has long since sailed and it’s been replaced with a ‘results business’ these days I’m afraid.
I don’t like it but that’s how it’s become due to the ever increasing insane amounts of money involved and the disastrous consequences of failure. |

Really don't want to go down this rabbit hole for Clive's benefit but whilst I understand the thought behind that, at the time this all happened I was talking to my friends daughter who was a nurse at the Royal Free and she said all vaccines have a base (think of it like a pizza base) and then the 'toppings' are added to make it into the vaccine that was required. They're not just a bunch of ingredients chucked into a petrie dish and hope for the best.
Funny how the was a huge anti-vax and anti-mask movement in the US but suddenly there are now all these fukkers running around in cosplay army uniforms all masked up. |

Yup, always going to happen. Work your nuts off for a few years and put together a good team and eventually it gets broken up as the corporate teams snaffle all your best players.
At least they won the FA Cup, Charity Shield and got to play in Europe. Most clubs don't get to win anything then still lose everything they worked hard to build up.

Well, I've stocked up just in case they don't.
My roof has been (fingers crossed) fixed now. I did say to the guy how confident was he it would be OK what with the heavy rain due tomorrow and he said "pay me a third now and the rest once you're satisfied there's no leak. If it does leak tomorrow, call me straightaway".
I thought that was quite refreshing as most would probably say it's all OK, ask for full payment then don't return your calls when you have Niagara Falls in your loft.

I now have a hole in my roof which has been leaking for a week, thankfully got some people coming around today as it’s absolutely going to pelt it down tomorrow and I’m still anxious if the repair will do its job.
The guy is 100% confident it’ll be fine as it’s a routine repair but I’ve never been through this before.

Micromanagement and attention to detail are not the same thing so she’s talking bollox, which is not a surprise.
in fact, I’d go so far as saying micromanaging is detrimental to attention to detail as it stops you thinking for yourself and being in charge of your own responsibilities as it’s basically decision making by committee. Plus IMO people who micromanage are insecure, they can’t trust people to get on with it so have to control everything themselves.
It’s rife where I work and an absolute pain, everything has slowed to a snails pace in an industry that relies on expediency.
A situation has now arisen where I now have to send an email to the factory after I’ve placed a manufacturing order with certain bits of information to ensure the invoice that comes back is correct, which the supplier should do anyway, and most of the time is fine.
I can place hundreds of orders a year and my name only appears on an invoice-error report maybe 4 times a year so I now have to do all this extra unnecessary work for something that happens rarer than a QPR cup win. It’s all so middle managers don’t get bollocked by their bosses.
If this is how she works, it must be a nightmare working with/for her. |

Would we have been allocated the same ball number as West Ham?
If not, we'd have been drawn against someone else I think. |

Back in the 90's when the people at the company I worked for liked to partake in the stuff, it mostly turned them into the worlds worst game show host.
Nowadays it turns everyone into aggressive dickwad cnts.
Has the recipe changed or have people changed? |

"....but actually used to be the Bryant & May match factory" - me and the missus have friends that live there. Fkin awful. As well as being a gated place (which is probably not a bad thing as the only safe way in or out is to drive, no way would I want to walk there or back out again. My missus did it once from Bow Road tube and vowed never to do that again, only go by car) the flats are awful. Go through their 4th floor front door and they have a small bedroom to the left, bathroom to the right and straight ahead for the kitchen/sitting room (I hate that layout, such a cop out by developers and I don't care if it's trendy, it's a con). Then there are steps up to a mezzanine over the sitting room area which is basically the 2nd bedroom but it's not really a bedroom, it's just a big bunk-bed area.
They have two kids under 10 years old and I think I would go stir crazy living there with my missus and two kids.
Oh... and they have the audacity to be marketed as luxury flats. PMSL!!

Thankfully we weren't lumbered with it and LR being turned into flats/houses. Luckily we had the option to go back. But yes, not acquiring the site in the 80's was a big faux pas but that's a whole other story!
However, forward wind just over 100 years and if the 2012 Olympics were held in west London (say, the Old Oak common trading area) and it was the same stadium architecture/construction and as we were (just about) a PL team then, we could have been lumbered with it in the same way and absolutely no chance to leave. Phew. |

I'm not a huge fan of the BBC these days but it's not just the BBC, it's everyone. All focus on the PL, everyone below can fk themselves. |

I think a lot have stopped going. They are stuffing the ground with tourists, kids-for-a-quid (yesterday) and giving out free tickets to schools and any other incentive they can think of just so they can spin it that the ground is always full, therefore justifying it.
If they do get relegated, we'll see the real level of support and if leaving Upton Part was wise after all. Three stands were already fairly new-ish and only the old 'chicken run' side not development due to issues with houses on that side.
All I can say is thank god the Olympics weren't in west London as that could easily have been us. |
