Today I'm angry about.....

[thebish]

Do they not call them season tickets anymore?

she hasn't got a season ticket... this is a red membership card that lets you buy tickets when nobody else wants them, if I understand it correctly!

So what's the benefit of a paid membership?

I may have exaggeratd for effect above!

That's all well and good, but I said "benefits"

ahh - sorry - the main benefit is the joy of knowing you have helped Arsene buy another solid gold helicopter...

Not a season ticket - I wish. If you aren't a member on some level then it's pretty impossible to buy tickets - they rarely go on sale. Actually, most of the time when I go watch us I go on a mates spare season ticket but you need a membership card activated to get into the stadium and I booked tickets for me, my brother and a friend for next Tuesdays game and then promptly lost it. However, they sent paper tickets for my brother and friend (non members) and there appears to be one for me too. I need to check whether I can get in with just that or whether I need the membership card tickets were booked on. If I don't I might hold fire on paying for a new one and hope my old one turns up.

How does it work at Bolton then? Just normal paper tickets?

Bribery, backsheesh, cash: the usual third world stuff.

GG'll have been gutted when she found out that that just meant access to part of the club website.

Yesterday I came across the term l'espirit de l'escalier for the first time. For those that don't know, its the French expression for when you think of the perfect retort, albeit in the car on the way home or literally on the stair case after you've stormed off. Today I experienced it first hand.

Today 2 colleagues on another floor came to ask me for some advice on a work problem they were having with their boss. In mid chat in a private room, their large over bearing bully of a boss, came in, gave them and me a right mouthful and marched off. One of the lasses burst into tears and us two just stood there mouths agape. I spent the drive home thinking what my best response would have been but most of them involved me smacking him in the mouth

£10 to replace a lost membership card? Its just a bit of plastic. Arsenal FC you are robbing me blind.

They do that long before you lose your membership card don't you worry about that GG.

Now then. Genuine question, Hoboh. Who/what's more at fault here - her or a system that allows it? (just so you know, it truly boils my piss that anyone can draw state benefits as a lifestyle choice).

hardly the worst of the worst... they are both working. working tax credits were designed to help people back to work - which (it seems) is what they did - and they are using the money on a back-payment to go on holiday... it doesn't seem particularly evil to me...

I'll bet the £38,000 is a little bit cheaper than bringing all those kids up through the care-home system...

and, just a thought - I'd be reluctant to call someone a fecking bitch and wish the pox on her without having met her...

Numpties are soft, cuddly creatures. It's a term of endearment, just like peeing on stuff is.
