What is hacking you off today?

The fact that another strange decision has been made by the club (shirt provider) that leaves us to speculate the reasons behind it rather than club having enough braincells to communicate properly. Even the fact that they post that Hummel will not be our provider next season and then post 20 mins later that Macron will be. Why not just do one bloody post, surely that's common sense?

Naturally fans will want to know why the change when Hummel were meant to be our provider for 4 years. Obviously the reasons behind it will again make Ron look even more of a rat than he already is, so silence is the best option yet again. Yet another company that want nothing to do with Ron. Is it possible that it was our decision, of course. Is it likely, no.

I want to know why the East Stand burger bar switched from Crofters Ketchup to Country Style Ketchup.

Someone in my household eating half my tub of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (as well as their own) then lying about it when confronted with the evidence & having the audacity to accuse me of being unreasonable when I got a little shirty about the matter.
Been looking forward to it all day

Would be 'karma' if the guilty party had the 'tom tits' in the morning!.

Why not buy one of these:

Ben and Jerry's ice cream lock

Because you could still turn the tub upside down and cut the bottom off.

You're lucky! I've been to the dentist here in Barna 3 times (make that 4 if you include once in Béziers too).Three times here I've had a front bridge (three teeth) put back since June.Expecting it to happen once more in August.Two of those visits cost me 40 euros a visit,20 euros in France (minimum charge).I've booked a series of 4 sessions in Béziers but that won't start until September.Like you (by the sound of it) I normally have good teeth (unlike my wife,who's already had 4 implants)!

The traffic flow London bound out of Southend this morning. There had been some sort of accident near the Weir and the traffic was gridlocked from Kent Elms around 8.30 this morning. We were on our way to Colchester Zoo so I decided to cut across Rayleigh to join the A130. Unfortunately the world and it's brother had the same idea. 70 minutes to get on to the A130 from Kent Elms!! :Angry:

I feel your frustration!. I used to drive 40,000 miles per year in my job, & have had many situations like you encountered. Thank goodness in all of those, i didn't need a 'number 2'!.

Only needs a minor prang & hold up, before we get gridlocked. With only 2 routes out of town ( A127, A13 ), no other choice?.
And to think that in 20 years time, there will be over 20,000 new homes in our area, the mind boggles as to what the situation will be like then?.

The total insanity of E10 petrol. It’s the eco equivalent of taking 1 per cent of cars of the road .. whilst netting a 1 per cent loss in fuel consumption.
whilst making the poorest , ie those with old petrol cars have to buy super to stay on the road. ……. …. . . …… .. …..

The amount of over thirties that hang around Southend all day on e-scooters.

You are excused :Smile2:

That came out far ruder than was intended didn't it, sorry. Although if you were carting muck from that huge roundabout near Stanway which carried a sign saying ' Do not rely on Satnav, diversion in operation' then all bets are off as it took me 2 attempts to get round it before I worked it out.
