DJ's TALKING over the end-of-song Guitar Solos

I'm looking at YOU CHRIS EVANS, specifically on HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

I almost flipped my car off the road.

Have you never heard it before? [emoji6]

I always acknowledge the driver if they stop - it's just polite.



It takes me no more time to cross whether I wave/thumbsup a thank you at the driver or not :shrug:

Maybe its just the old people, who are prevalent in Bexhill, who make a point in stopping to wave before they get themselves going again

I must have missed something (or is this a London thing) but I've only ever seen "baby on board" signs in cars so had no idea what you were on about at first.

Sounds like a good idea for pregnant women though, if only to avoid that horrible moment when you give up a seat to a non pregnant fatty.

You're not alone, don't think thev'e reached deepest Lincolnshire yet

I am going to write a really sexist one so apologies to Edna and other female posters but this comes following a two week holiday with four ladies on the trip. WTF is it with menus and making a decision what to order? Every meal involved asking everyone else what they are having, a 25 minute decision before changing their mind then wishing they had ordered something else anyway, this happened on EVERY SINGLE MEAL. Why ask me what I am having, it is my meal, you order what you want!! Can others confirm if their WAGS are similar with menu decision making or did I just have bad luck here?

My wife decides in about five minutes, I have to get the waiter to take the order and basically force me to make a decision.

However, I couldn't care less what everyone else is ordering and I never moan that I should have ordered something else (the Mrs does both of these every time).
 


Excessive hyperbole use. Everything now has to be "amazing" or "awesome" or just blatantly overstated. One just appeared on FB "This poached egg hack will change your Breakfast Game forever", another food based site frequently states things like "..the secret ingredient of this cake will blow your mind............". No it won't, it really wont (unless it is one of those "special" cakes that I read about once).

People who take a trolleys worth of shopping into the self service area. This area is annoying enough without the need to have to wait until you have emptied your entire shopping trolley onto the bagging bay. What do you mean it wont fit on it? Of course its wont fudging fit on it, you've got £200's worth for crudding shopping on there. Oh, now you need a store colleague to help you do you? Oh right, yes fine. This self service thing is going great for you isn't it. That's right. No one is watching you. No one is thinking, hmmm, they've got a trolleys worth of crap and are using up the time of a store assistant, its only fair they use the self service till. Use the normal bloody till you fool!

People who eat crisps near me.
People who eat apples near me.
People who eat anything 'crunchy' near me.
People who eat with their mouths open.
People who talk with their mouths full.

This, this, this, this and this. May I add people who eat breakfast in the office when the staff room is next door.

Yes, breakfast is to be eaten at home or on the way to work. Away from the office.
I don't want to hear anyone slurping and crunching their way through a bowl of Corn Flakes at 8:30 in the morning.

Plus, lunch.
I don't mind people eating lunch at their desks, but if it's loud or smelly, f*** off into the kitchen or outside please.

Newsreaders, weather people and traffic news readers on the radio who have to tell us their name.

"I'm Sally Soppytart and here are the headlines"

"TomTwatface here and in a busy football schedule..."

I couldn't give a flying fudge that you think you are some kind of Z list celebrity, you are just giving me information and I don't tune in because it's you. Just do your job and give me the info and then let's get back to the person I have tuned in to listen to.

Totally agree.
There’s a traffic reporter on the radio here in Vancouver who routinely announces her name when she calls in her report from the ‘eye-in-the-sky’ helicopter.
Her name is Elaine Scollan. At least, I think that’s her name. On any particular day it sounds like Scollun, Scallon, Scallion, Scotland, Scon, scallop, skull….take your pick.
If she’s going to the bother of needlessly telling everyone her name then at least slow down a bit and pronounce it properly. Bugs me.
