Sphinx Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Companies and collectives called 'We Are [insert here]'. The x symbol that denotes some collaboration. I don't know why but it irritates me. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse are bands that overrun their time slot and don't finish until almost 11:30 meaning you've missed the last train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at Glastonbury. They're not too bad. Holy Fuck were better, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're even worse for the staff at the venue who don't get overtime when it happens but are expected to carry on working for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chvrches? Landmvrks? With Chvrches it's the Latin spelling, bit like fashion house Bvlgari. Fuck knows Landmvrks excuse though, whoever they are at home.

WyattSheepMask Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) I haven’t heard of them until today, but they’re supporting While She Sleeps on an upcoming tour and that got me thinking about the seemingly completely random use of V instead of the correct letter. The explanation of Chvrches and Bvlgari at least correspond as it’s a U that’s being replaced in both words, as opposed to the A in Landma(v)rks Maybe I’m just out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong Edited October 29, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hey, I used to be with “it”, but then they changed what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it, and what’s “it” seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you @Rey_Piste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chvrches? Landmvrks? PVRIS are another band that does this. They changed their name from Paris for legal reasons apparently. I like them a lot, so it doesn’t bother me. But they do get shit from non fans for their “stupid spelling of Paris”. And also, people seeing the name and pronouncing the V. Edited October 30, 2018 by TheBurningRed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief. As to the second point who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to give unsolicited parenting tips to a complete stranger?

It’s like when football fans tried to hijack Iceland’s Viking Clap and attach it to their team. Thats their thing, come up with your own shit Even more trivial and annoying is when fans call it the "viking clap" when it originated in North Lanarkshire, Scotland; Quote There is YouTube footage of fans carrying out the chant at Fir Park before a win over Celtic in 2013 and supporters of the Scottish club also used the chant against Stjarnan in their 2014 Europa League qualifier. Stjarnan took 22 fans to Fir Park, and Motherwell had “three or four hundred” at the second leg, whose team lost 5-4 on aggregate. “Because Motherwell fans performed the chant, Stjarnan fans took it up. They passed it on to Tolfan and it was used throughout Iceland’s successful Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.” Back to Jonsson. “Since we started it, it has really taken off. We would like to thank Motherwell for lending it to us!” Case closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A million times yes! Particularly grating when they start giving you 1970's parenting advice too - one of my kids can be rather stroppy and stubborn and I got told by a complete stranger that if my daughter was hers, she'd 'slap the legs of the little madam'. I think that have been the first time I told an elderly woman to fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my daughter out for a walk and popped into a charity shop to dodge some rain and. A lady approached and made all the small talk you have when with a new born only to follow up with. Her: “does she sleep well at night?” Me: “yeah, sleeps about four hours or so then wakes for a feed so we are getting plenty if sleep.” Her: “If you stroke her cheek like this (she then proceeds to stoke my sleeping daughter and wakes her up which causes her to cry.” Me: “Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.” she then scuttled off as I tried to calm my wailing child down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
