We ve got our own munters, I could give you plenty of occasions where I have been embarrassed that they are Gas! Very true, a few years back and old bloke in his 70's wanted to fight my mate whose in his late 60's because he was 6 inches taller and blocking his view. Wrecks the day out but you get over it. I remember my late father threatening to “punch in the nose” a fan on the North Enclosure at Eastville who stood right in front of me. I was about 8 at the time and was suitably embarrassed. It seemed to work though. Cheers Dad. |

Me neither.... Then again I'm one of those who is inbetween a 'boomer' and a 'millennial'.... Do we have a name? If so I'm curious to know what it is.... A knob. Strangely I knew that was coming.... Even stranger that i knew who it was going to come from.... |

Please send your feedback via official channels so that is can be dealt with by the appropriate department No thanks. Do you also consider yourself 'woke' and identify as a saucepan? "OK Boomer" shouldn't be allowed on any forum that has an average age over 12, it's pointless and wastes almost 3 seconds of my life to read and roll my eyes at. Nuff said. Ok boomer |

I identify as a Gashead who has had enough of people belittling issues like homophobia... people who jump onto a thread about Bristol City fans arguing at an away day to have another moan that they can't sing homophobic songs anymore... because, y'know, political correctness has gone mad (or something similar that they've read in one of their back patting news subscriptions). It's also interest that the generation who are complaining about PC "gone mad" also flip out when called a boomer or a gammon or something. Ironic. Very true about taking offence. The very people who demand that others, known to them as 'snowflakes', stop being offended by dodgy 1970s-type comments, are actually astonishingly quick to take offence when anyone else challenges their interesting views on life in the modern world. Often with the offer of a meetup in a car park and a free knuckle sandwich, in order to sort things out like real men. 😂😂😂😂 |

Some gashead proposed to his Mrs at half time at the mem many many years ago to the chant “does she take it up the ass”. Again that’s f**king funny. Hilarious |

Hilarious To me a joke should be 1 of 2 things - funny or unfunny. I don't think jokes should be construed as racist/sexist/ageist/homophobic etc as it's a joke and ultimately a joke is a lie designed to make people laugh. People seem to wanna find hate and prejudice in everything nowadays and it's like you have to be careful at every turn just incase something you say offends someone. I had a steak cooked medium the other day when I ordered it rare, I didn't cry I just ate it, I managed to relatively enjoy it and had a decent sundae for dessert, had a much better night than the bird on a date with the bloke who complained and returned his food 3 times, they argued all night after that. People just need to chill out a bit imo, enjoy life a bit and stop needlessly being offended by everything. |

And yet, you're whining about your food on the internet to prove how much you didn't whine about your food. This is the same sort of stuff mentioned above, you're whining about how much you don't whine about saying stuff while whining about not being allowed to say stuff. It's not not whining it's just whining differently. If someone says 'that's a bit sexist' and assumes the moral high ground you seem to get triggered and take the moral high ground about that like someone else might get triggered about it being sexist. Again, you're not not getting triggered and not not taking the moral high ground, you're just getting triggered differently and taking the moral high ground differently. |

Just think some people could do with cheering up a bit tbh, life's short enough as it is without getting 'triggered' by every little thing. Ah well we're all different I guess. |

I'm quite up for a debate about steaks because as much as anything in life they are basically about interpretation....
Now, what I'd call rare clare would call medium, and what she calls rare is what I'd call blue....
And this is why we always end up in the curry house with a tandoori mixed grill....

My interpretation of rare is enough red juices seeping out to dip the chips in but not as much so that they're too soggy.. it's a fine line. |

The only time in my life I've ever refused to pay at a restaurant was because a rare steak was served to clare completely burnt.... Now if it was £6 in a weatherspoons neither of us would have minded but this steak was 22 quid, and it was actually quite amusing watching the staff trying to justify their incompetence..... |
