Am I being a miserable old git

[Bombadier Botty]

Why is it that overheard conversations in public spaces are always so mind-numbingly tedious?

 

[BrianWade4]

Punch them both repeatedly in the face until the noise stops

 

[Hampster Gull]

Youre bang on

Sounds exactly like some guys who used to sit behind us at Withdean. We heard all sorts about their jobs, their wives, their girlfriends, the whole lot. Could have blackmailed one of them if I'd been like that. Annoying. Football is for the football. Have you tried glaring at them?

Yep, several times. It doesn't seem to register.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Completely empathise.

Went to see a band that I'm a big fan of in London a couple of months back - it was their first UK gig in about 7 years.

These two girls in front of me at no point faced the front. They spent the entire evening trying to shout over the music to each other about their social lives, mucking about with photo apps on their phones etc. They could've done the EXACT same thing and had exactly the same amount of fun doing that in one of their houses. The gig was a complete irrelevance to them.

As a Mark Corrigan, I was silently SEETHING but obviously did absolutely NOTHING about this.

I was at Godspeed you! Black Emperor at Brixton a couple of years ago and 3 6 foot plus tossers squeezed in front of us just before the start and began chatting. Mrs Tackle, who is 5 foot two in her stockings leant over and said 'shut the f*** up, you c***s'. Worked a treat.

Newcastle finished 15th and I think it was Willie McFaul's last season in goal.

Liam McFaul.... it was Liam

Top bombing by the trouble and strife Harold! Love it.

I'll go along with that though my initial recall was ' Iam ' for some reason

My motivation for learning Japanese absolutely nose-dived once I'd gotten to the point where I started understanding snippets of public conversations. It's the same everywhere with 1st world problems.

Humblest apols. You are correct. Iam McFaul. As in Will I Am.

Threads like this convince me Albion only really have between 11-15k hardcore supporters nothing wrong with that and personally think it's been the same since the late 80"s.

I went to the Led Zep concert at the Dome a few years back courtesy of a member of this very message board who donated his second ticket to REMF which I was lucky enough to bid for and win. Anyway, we were stood pretty much central, a little way back from the stage. After the band started a young chap, early twenties, just started talking to his friends at the top of his voice, explaining why he couldn't believe Zep started with Good Times Bad Times, telling us it was completely the wrong song and that the band didn't have a clue, and that the second song, Ramble On, wasn't to his liking either. I did say something to him, sexual swear words and everything, he ****ed off and I got a wee round of applause from the others around us. The rest of the show was quite simply the best show I have ever seen.

Led Zeppelin at the Dome 1972. How could you hear a conversation? I couldn't hear a thing for three days afterwards. Epic.

I'll agree with you on that, I'm into LOUD music, but having not seen Zep back in the day I wasn't expecting them to be that loud, and in the O2 too. But seriously, that guy was shouting above them, and between tracks too.

Sounds like the guy just Rambles on.

 

[Normal Rob]

Tell them that for the last 3 games you have recorded every word of their conversations, and if they don't either STFU or move, you'll be sending the recordings to their wives/work colleagues etc.

Either that, or simply ask them to button it.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

This thread demonstrates one good reason to be a standing venue, be it a gig or football. Then you can simply move away.

Football and rock music are two things best enjoyed standing up.

 

[Megazone]

Find out their exact seat number. Ask the club announcer to call out their seat numbers and tell them to shut up.

 

[Randsta]

I'm the same as you but I get annoyed by hearing the people behind me shout the same stupid comments over and over again!!
