I really don't like "cuppa tea" instead of plain old "cuppa". It's a given that the word "tea" is there in the original abbreviation.

Geezer I work with sings all day, which is annoyng enough, but he keeps on getting the words wrong.

The way bands songs are on 'auto-repeat' in my head.
At the moment it's Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms", Can't get rid of the fecker.
I have a love of hard raaawwwkk, so this blights my life. Significantly.

I also had a dream last night about my brother, who had to go on a trip to Nepal for work purposes in 1985/6.
He had a ticket for the "Brothers in Arms" tour at Wembley arena,...which went unused.

It's an old one often repeated, but bloody carry on luggage strikes again.

How can I be in Group 1 boarding and all overhead bins around where I'm sitting are full? I've noticed people who sit near the back and board either Priority or Group 1 have started putting their overhead bags nearer the front as they board so they can pick them up as they pass on the way off the plane.

Either the planes need a redesign or the rules have to be strictly enforced. I'm all for the later.

Compounded by the crew asking me to put my smaller, regulation size bag under the seat in front, limiting my foot room.

This whole scenario confuses me most on long haul flights.

I actually find Ryanair one of the least intolerable for this because at least they enforce the hand baggage size rules half the time.

Most of the other budget airlines don't, so you get these assholes with gigantic carry on bags taking up all the room, and as the poster above said, because you are someone who actually follows them, you get punished and have to put it under your seat.

Country drivers

People driving on unlit country roads with their Main beam on, ignorant of the fact they are blinding oncoming drivers who are unable to see the ****** road, so therefore have to slam the brakes.
You can see the shimmer of headlights before you even see the car coming towards you, and that is the point you should switch to Dipped headlights. Coz when the ignorant thwats wait until they see you, that first 2 or 3 seconds before they 'dip' is the time you end up driving into a ditch coz you can see fck all.

Some **** also did a hit and run on my parked van before Christmas.

Some other **** took my off-side wing mirror off last week, driving towards me on my side of the road,...and didn't stop

Radio playlists. I can understand the reason for having them on commercial stations, they get paid to promote artists but why do the BBC need them? I listen to 6Music quite a lot, great station, good mix of musical styles but ******* hell their set playlists leave a lot to be desired. I stopped listening to commercial radio because of the ******* go compare ads, some of the playlist tunes on 6 seem to be on just as often and are just as annoying.

Yes, same with 1Xtra - all these new up and coming urban artists they could be playing but every morning they seem to play Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran! Also the amount of times they play the same adverts for other shows on 1Xtra and other BBC channels - might as well have webuyanycar.com adverts.

Martin H 02-02-2017 04:49 PM

Cold phone calls and the rude ******* (choose expletive of choice) that make them. Had my umpteenth call from an energy solutions company and politely thanked them for the call but explained I have had the house renovated and dealt with the energy solutions and need no further help.

He just ignored that and started to say well I am no ringing for that I am ringing about your solar panels. So I repeated. OK but I really don't need any further help with my solar panels or my energy solutions thank you.

So he now gets a stroppy voice on and starts again, so I interrupted him and said that I had tried to politely explain twice now that I don't need anything from him.

He interrupts me once again and now very upset with me and tells me that I am not listening to what he is saying.

At this point I said, I tell you what, I tried but just **** off.

I know that he is trying to earn a living and I am sure my final response wasn't great but WTF am I supposed to do - say OK then why don't I stop what I am doing and you tell me all about it.

Thankfully he had a number and so I have whacked that onto my BT junk divert list.

Shoe laces. Despite the double knot you tie in the morning they spend the whole working day trying to untie themselves, then when you return home from work and you try to remove your shoes in a darkened hallway, they turn themselves into a sailor's knot used to berth aircraft carriers to a jetty.

Worksop Palace 03-02-2017 09:50 AM

Scenario A. I get up for work most mornings about 6am. Wife doesn't need to get up until 7ish so I pad into the bathroom, quietly close the door and proceed with the morning ablutions. I then return to the bedroom and get dressed in the dark with just the small light from the bathroom to guide me. Wardrobes and draws are shut slowly and quietly and inmake why way down stairs, feed the cat and I'm on my way. Everyone continues to sleep soundly while i make my way up the M1 to work

Scenario B. I have a rare day working from home. I advise my darling wife the night before of said rare opportunity and that I'm really quite looking forward to having a bit of a lie in especially as I was up at half 5 and not back till 8 on Thursday.

So, at precisely 6.15 my wife's alarm goes off. She's decided that today she is going to go for a run before she has her breakfast. Her side light, the full bathroom light are fully on. Drawers and slammed and wardrobes banged off thei feckin hinges. Thankfully this only lasts 10 minutes and then she's gone. I fall back into a blissful sleep dreaming of Bentekes goal on Tuesday and the tidy bird from work.

20 minutes this bliss lasts before I am startled and brought back to conciousness by what I can only assume is a St Bernard dog panting and gasping for breath. My one half opened eye reveals my beautiful bride of 18 years almost dying having competed her 1.3 mile marathon. The lights are on again now and the bathroom door wide open as she begins her ablustions which last precisely 4 times longer than mine. The dustbin lids are now awake and piling in for hairbrushes, make up, hair bands etc. The chat is at full bore and my head is firmly stuck under my pillow.

And then quiet. The kids have gone to school and it's just the wife downstairs getting ready for work and having her breakfast. I drift in the blissful peace. And then a Boeing 747 lands on the house and brings me back to this awful place. What, it's not a plane ? No, it's her feckin Nutri feckin bastard Ninja blender thing, making the concoction of the day. It slows and its quiet again. I start to drift again and faintly hear the front door open and know now that's it's only seconds before I'm on my own and can go back to the tidy bird in the office. 'CAN YOU FEED THE CAT DARLING PLEASE' comes the screech. I'm fully awake now

I wish I'd gone to ******* work

I then return to the bedroom and get dressed in the dark with just the small light from the bathroom to guide me. Wardrobes and draws are shut slowly and quietly and inmake why way down stairs, feed the cat and I'm on my way. Everyone continues to sleep soundly while i make my way up the M1 to work

Scenario B. I have a rare day working from home. I advise my darling wife the night before of said rare opportunity and that I'm really quite looking forward to having a bit of a lie in especially as I was up at half 5 and not back till 8 on Thursday.

So, at precisely 6.15 my wife's alarm goes off. She's decided that today she is going to go for a run before she has her breakfast. Her side light, the full bathroom light are fully on. Drawers and slammed and wardrobes banged off thei feckin hinges. Thankfully this only lasts 10 minutes and then she's gone. I fall back into a blissful sleep dreaming of Bentekes goal on Tuesday and the tidy bird from work.

20 minutes this bliss lasts before I am startled and brought back to conciousness by what I can only assume is a St Bernard dog panting and gasping for breath. My one half opened eye reveals my beautiful bride of 18 years almost dying having competed her 1.3 mile marathon. The lights are on again now and the bathroom door wide open as she begins her ablustions which last precisely 4 times longer than mine. The dustbin lids are now awake and piling in for hairbrushes, make up, hair bands etc. The chat is at full bore and my head is firmly stuck under my pillow.

And then quiet. The kids have gone to school and it's just the wife downstairs getting ready for work and having her breakfast. I drift in the blissful peace. And then a Boeing 747 lands on the house and brings me back to this awful place. What, it's not a plane ? No, it's her feckin Nutri feckin bastard Ninja blender thing, making the concoction of the day. It slows and its quiet again. I start to drift again and faintly hear the front door open and know now that's it's only seconds before I'm on my own and can go back to the tidy bird in the office. 'CAN YOU FEED THE CAT DARLING PLEASE' comes the screech. I'm fully awake now

I wish I'd gone to ******* work


Haha - wonderful story! [emoji23]

People who park their petrol/diesel cars in front of electric car charging points despite big signs saying plug in cars only. Yes I know, first world problems and all that but if you're low on juice it is fairly annoying.

They should make the lead long enough so that you can box them in.

she seems like a mug to me if she stays with Jay Z even after writing an album exposing him as a cheating rat then gets busy with cracking out a couple more kids

Actually that's another annoying thing. The optional charging cable for the so-called fast chargers is quite long but the standard one for 3 pin plugs is unbelievably short and states you shouldn't use an extension lead. What are you meant to do - drive through the front door to get to the nearest 3 pin socket? Other than that I love my Nissan Leaf:)

Sinks in hotels that don't drain the water faster than it's going in.

What kind of shit is lurking in the plumbing to slow down water?

coming home ravenous after the match looking forward to eating half a cow - and the wife serves wholemeal pasta in a pesto sauce with toasted effing pinenuts

The Arthur Wait. Get there at 2.30 and you finally get in at 2.45; then it takes forever to get out at the end of the game.
