minor things that make you fume

We got one of these “ free “ photo shoots years ago c/o of a photo company called Venture.

Ended up costing the best part of 500 quid.

The “ free” photo is the size of a stamp and is merely a sales technique to get you into the showroom and apply sales tactics on you - as you’ve found out.

I tried briefing her before she went. Just enjoy the free one, I said. Your step dad or me can take the same pictures any time you like, for nothing. Just smile and say no thanks, think what else that money could get you, several meals out, a holiday abroad, a cruise ffs. All to no avail. The business is an absolute scam that panders and lives off women's vanity.

7 pictures on a memory stick, that've been looked at once, ffs! Of course there was a makeover involved which might justify the expense apart from the fact I find people in makeup distinctly unattractive and she's not the don't of person who enjoys it either. So we have pictures I'm not arsed about looking at, as opposed to the thousands of candids we already have that we love.

It's her cash, so I shouldn't be bothered. It galls the hell out if me though that for an afternoon's "work" some bloke has collected a fortnight's take home pay from the missus. I clearly really had bad careers advice!

Put em up let's see
 

Just watched a bit of togger on the tv (a rare event thanks to Sky and bt robbing it to sell). Chelsea lost to Man U and after the match the Chelsea players were laughing and joking with their 'mates' in the Utd team, on the pitch.

Now I have no problem with these pros having mates in other teams, its normal, natural, sporting and positive. However, you do it in front of fans who will be upset that their team just lost is ridiculously insensitive and insulting*. Do it in the changing rooms, or in hospitality after the match, but not in front of your fans.

The disconnect between modern players and the fans is part of the ruination of the game.

* caveat - Cheksea fans are the rs of London so they deserve this. But the principle still irks.
