[Albion] Things which are not currently criminal offences but which absolutely should be

[Tokyohands]

Supporting Palace.

 

[marlowe]

Saying "brought" when you mean "bought".
Please make it clear, did you bring it or buy it?
Or perhaps "brought" is the correct term for something you purchase at a bring and buy sale.

 

[OzMike]

A group of women walking with their pushchairs in a line so they can have a conversation with scant regard for anyone else wishing to use the pavement.

Cyclists do the same on the roads.

 

[marlowe]

Drivers who inappropriately engage their car horn instead of their foot brake.

 

[OzMike]

Saying 'two times' instead of 'twice'.

 

[whitelion]

"Celebrities" who change their faces with surgery lip enhancers fake boobs and hair extensions and end up looking as if they are auditioning for a part in the newest horror movie.

 

[trueblue]

People who regard any brand new wall or kerb as a skateboard park and immediately trash it. Kids - cuff round the ear. Grown men - 20 years in prison.

Taking pictures of your food to post on Facebook.

Calling macaroni cheese, Mac N Cheese.

Radio & TV discussions about Arsenal's crisis and Arsene Wenger's future (due to resume in the next week or so)

Describing someone who scored twice as getting, or worse 'bagging', a 'brace'.

Moaning about games being moved for TV but loving it when you can't make it to a match but can still watch the Albion live.

Routinely calling the Albion, 'the Seagulls' as a first choice e.g. "I'm a Seagulls fan". Doesn't ring true. Probably just me.

 

[Notters]

Being a tourist during commuting hours (mainly applies to big cities).

The law should be that all tourists should be locked inside holding bays during the hours of 730-9.00am and 5.00-6.30pm.

Don't get me started on this. My morning commute shortens by 20 minutes in the school holidays but the afternoon one can increase by 30 minutes thanks to people having a day out in Brighton and deciding to leave at 5.

[SpidersLegs]

Adults riding BMX bikes or skateboards

Not just you. To do so is the classic sign of a JCL. Within our own kind they are always "the Albion". To strangers you are a Brighton fan. Simple.

I did have one mate who always referred to us as "the Stripes" but it started off as an ironic joke until it got overused and then became a default.

Saying 'two times' instead of 'twice'.

Saying 'thrice' instead of 'three times'.

Using Victoria Station without due care and attention.

Possession of a man bun.

Fruit cider.

I often struggle to remember my PIN number at an ATM machine

 

[The Clamp]

Australians under the age of 35 going abroad.
Prints of the west pier, especially photoshopped ones.
It should be law that pubs have one till for people who want to order alcoholic drinks and another for food/soft drinks/teas and coffee. In my experience people ordering sundries in a boozer are utterly clueless and take 10 mins faffing about what to have on their burger etc.
Similar thing for supermarkets, they should have designated lottery and scratch card counters. Frustrating queuing up at the kiosk when some ghastly council estater is buying a full basket of food, lottery tickets and scratch cards.
People letting their kids do the self service tills when there is a large queue.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Women who replace their erased eyebrows with black felt tip and look like Groucho Marx..

Morning looney. The other day I told my girlfriend she was drawing her eyebrows on too high. She looked surprised.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Anyone who drinks Fosters, Strongbow, Carlsberg, John Smiths or Heineken in a pub or elsewhere. There is such a fantastic array of beers, lagers and ciders out there. Why?

 

[GloryDays]

Correct. When did that become a thing?

Used to only be BMWs

About 3 years ago. BMW's are now off the black list to the point where I'll appreciate that those that still drive them are probably motoring purists. All the irresponsible, self entitled drivers migrated to Audi in a bid to look more classy and sophisticated. It truly is amazing how bad so many drivers of one brand of car can be. The tag line should be affectionately changed from "Vorsprung durch Technik" to "Where's a policeman when you need one.."....

 

[GloryDays]

Walking around with acid.

I like Strongbow.
