    They're all awful, companies trying to be your friend or normalise massive debt. Spikey is right too, you can't sell an odour so you have to come up with some other bullshit to flog your pointless smell-water.

    Bints on mens sports coverage. Fair enough if it’s the main presenter as they’re just a TV person but why someone that didn’t even play the sport giving ‘expert’ opinion? Just watched the hurling and switched over to soccer and both have one stuck in the middle of it.

    Buying stuff from outside the UK is an absolute ballache now. A lot of places outright won't ship here.

    Taking me ages to get stuff from Amazon.es now too, was so handy before on .co.uk. Sooner the better they open that distribution center here.

    It's a ballache getting stuff to NI from GB for the same reasons. So annoying.

    Was just locked down in a mall with an active shooter event going on. Nothing like gunfire to get the blood pumping.

    It was in Canada. The stupid cunt managed to fire five shots into a crowded mall and hit no one. It was almost certainly a targeted, gang-related shooting, mind - not some American-style mentalist who hates women or ISIS.

    My colleague has suggested our other mate and us go and play mini golf at the place that just opened round the corner, cus he went with his own mates and had a laugh.

    I was like "did you win", and he said ah we stopped keeping track of scores half way through.

    I was like hey I don't think I could cope playing something like that without actually paying attention to the scores and stuff, and just got "lighten up it's just a bit of fun, but we can take it DEADLY SERIOUSLY when we go if we must" in response.

    Like, yeah I am a fun police cunt, but I just cannot get my head around playing a game and basically ignoring the entire internal logic of the game. Large grey area between taking it super seriously and just not even keeping score. It's like when I went bowling as a teenager and my doofus mates insisted on having the bumpers up and just lobbing the balls at random, I'm still fucking raging about that fifteen years later.

    I'm with you on this stuff but the general public can't deal with it.

    My dad gets properly wound up if I mention playing golf and say 'Oh I won/lost by this score', and he sits there incredulous as if keeping score is for squares and FUN is all you should ever do. For me the fun is in trying to do well / watching as someone else beats me.

    Crazy golf, I dunno, I hate it so couldn't comment on the vibe.

    People who are too shit to win don't pay attention to the score. I stopped paying attention about halfway through the last time I played

    Which, now I think about it, would be a fun one to apply this logic to. Just fucking cross off whatever numbers you want.

    Monica was so right, rules bring the fun.

    My personal bugbear are wankers who make up rules in pool. No, I don't need to double the black if we haven't previously agreed that before the frame started (I asked what rules do you play) and nor am I not allowed to shoot backwards when you've fouled.

    It makes no sense at all to not keep score. Isn't part of the fun in doing amazing well on one hole, then comically badly on another? How to you measure that without a score?

    Your friends are retards.

    It's right though. What's the point of not keeping score?

    Can't stand this. I was playing a guy recently and the white went in when I was on the black (missed the pot), which is obviously a foul. He declared himself the winner (despite having 4 balls left on the table) and when I said "wtf" he scoffed and argued it was "standard pub rules".

    I also witnessed someone claiming you could pot the black on a free ball and win the game at any point.

    I wonder if there's some loser mentality generally that can be attributed to people who don't keep score. I mean, when I was growing up everything had a score associated with it. Playground games, board games, arcade games, pub games, actual sport - you name it, there was a way to define a winner and perhaps more importantly a way to define whether you've improved.

    They were, I managed to make friends with less spasticated people in sixth form thankfully. The golf people are my colleague and his mates.

    They are all a bit nerdy and unsporty, and colleague has extended his story to "well we took it seriously at first but we weren't very good" which absolutely makes it worse cus they were basically sore losers but not internally with each other but collectively against the whole concept of mini golf.

    I imagine for nosebleeders like that, doing badly at anything vaguely resembling sport brings back memories of getting bullied in PE lessons so I almost sympathise. Almost.

    I just can't get on board with people who don't like competition. Their brains are wired so differently to mine that there's basically no point us being in the same room. And I was very much not the class jock / alpha male at school, so I'm not giving them that excuse.

    I was reading an article the other day about our whole generation basically being sensitive little narcissists (it may have been posted on here) because we spent our whole childhood being told we were amazing at everything and that losing doesn't matter.

    There's definitely some merit in that, even if it was just a boomer seethe-fest.

    I spent most of my youth playing club rugby in a team that won maybe two or three games a season, I feel like that bred a healthy attitude to competition and winning/losing.

    I've never heard those wacky rules come up in pool before, heads and volleys is the game where everyone comes armed with their own scoring though. Political nightmare.

    I also think it's important to value self improvement in sports and games. I used to play pool with some lad who was a million times better than me, and it was shit losing most games each time we played, but I got satisfaction from getting less shit each time we played.

    The yanks used to do my nut for this when playing over there. What do you mean I can;t play my ball in off one of your balls? They just make them up as they go along.

    I've always played by the you lose if you pot the white with the black rule. I've never thought about it but it is really stupid now that I think about it.
