‘Taboo’ starring Tom Hardy (on BBC1 last year). Probably because I couldn’t understand a single word anyone was whispering. Apart from Jonathan Pryce. Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Why do they call contactless cards "contactless" when you use them by making contact with the reader? Why not call them "contact cards"?

Originally posted by matt_himself I also don’t understand why chick peas are not in the ‘beans’ section at Purley Tesco. As far as I am concerned, all pulses should be located in one aisle. However, f*ing Tesco’s has a different idea, which last Saturday, took me thirty fing minutes to find the fing chick peas, which turned out to be around the corner from the fing beans. Perhaps the manager of Purley's Tesco doesn't know what chick peas are? My local Sainsbury has them with the rest of the pulses. Originally posted by matt_himself* Also, there is a bottle of Advocaat behind the bar of my local which has been untouched for around three years. Who would go into a pub and order a nice, lukewarm, vomit textured glass of Advocaat? Perhaps for the old dears that like a snowball before Christmas but the landlord hasn't realised that he doesn't have any old dears as customers
