I hope not, because that will mean I am seriously ill again. Not in any hurry to repeat that experience.

This one annoyed me when I was in a good mood.......why do new cars not come with CD Players.
Oh for the good old days.... and that depends on how old you are, I have been through cars with no radio, radio, radio and cassette tape, eight track, and finally got to Radio and CD . Upgraded car this weekend and the thing has no CD Player ...you dont need one sir it has Bluetooth or you can use your MP3 player (what MP3 player is that the one I had to order of Amazon when I got home) or your phone (well no that is pretty full the sound is crap unless I use earphones so never bothered)
So between other things like an MRI Scan in the morning tomorrow I am getting with it and will RIP CD's converting them to the MP3 player which will probably turn up whilst I am out having scan.
Oh and a massive thank you to the young lady assistant in Tescos who helped me out regarding the MP3 player without trying to get me to buy and I something, you were a star took customer service seriously and did not laugh at an old fogey top girl hope you go far....

PS I did manage to link phone to Bluetooth in Car and it works......little jig of celebration on drive when it did......!!!

That's made my Monday morning :supergrin:

Old farts moaning about no CD in their car....but just wanting to tell everyone they've bought a new car.

Dentist appointments - booked 9.30 still in waiting room and its almost 10.

Americans.

MUMBLE........because I am not sure I am allowed to call you names on the PC BBS :)

My first car did not have a rear screen heater or wind up/down windows or a radio/cassette player and worse than that I had to sing to myself which was absolutely dreadful to listen to.

Austin A40 Farina.

The rip-off that is office Christmas lunches.

The place we go to charges extra for veggies with your roasts. I mean, it's not like you're ripping us off already, so why not charge £2 extra for 3 or 4 roasties that cost pence to make.

Insurance companies and their commercials.

'Being a father doesn't end when your life does'

Absolute feckers of the highest order.

We've just had a guy black out at work, fall and bump his head. He came around, was conscious and seemed OK other than being in shock... That wasn't annoying but resulted in 2 annoying things:

I asked our receptionist to call an ambulance. She didn't know what number to call. I mean, how can you not know, even if you've never done it before?!

Three hours later, the ambulance still hasn't arrived. Can't blame the NHS or Ambulance Service when the government is ******* them over on a daily basis.

We've now cancelled the ambulance and he's gone in a taxi with a colleague to the nearest A&E - I didn't want to do this in the first place as I don't think it's reasonable to make someone responsible for a colleague in a vulnerable position. Felt like I didn't have any choice in the end.

How weird, same thing has happened to Peter Redman on Twitter.

Small world.

I'm over it now but the whole office once did the lottery for a year, £1 each week, and used our winnings to buy our Xmas meal. We still had to stump up an extra £16 and the price per head was £32.

Tube strikes getting cancelled. I was looking forward to working from home tomorrow and not having to deal with the usual irritants on my commute.

Yep had loads of stuff planned for tomorrow but have to go to work now :(

What's this new trend for people to loudly tap their feet &/or hands to whatever compilation of shite is currently going through their headphones?
Can no-one under 35 make a public transport journey in a quiet unobtrusive way anymore?

Dads who decide to manage kids football teams, with no experience whatsoever of coaching or managing, and who only do it to make sure their not very talented son gets regular matches, and as a result of their inferiority complex then takes it out on your actually very talented son by dropping him because of jealousy.

That.

Which one is your son?

[emoji4] People who take kids football far too seriously.

He's got 14 of them

That's an interesting one!

Worse than that though is school teachers trying to Politicise school kids. At my sons school his media teacher said it was his goal to turn all the pupils in to socialists. Utter wnaker.

School kids and UNI kids.

Bear Grylls

Michael Gove.

Looks incredibly shifty.

EFA

Actually 'shifty' would be a compliment for Gove, because it would mean he had normal human dishonesty and the awareness to be worried about getting caught.

I think he looks like a google eyed fanatic .

Gove looks like someone dropped a pair of glasses into a hotel breakfast.

Genius. Your own?

People at work dressed smart when its a dress down dress code.

Ah, depends what the definition of dress down is

We have dress down where anything goes (within reason)

Business dress. Then smart casual. Then business casual.

No wonder people getting 'kin confused

TV programmes and now adverts that do that annoying stare to camera arms folded thing (even worse when it's walk to camera) or the looking away from camera then stare.
Homebase being the latest annoying example.

When everyone around you is in jeans and a t-shirt, it's not difficult to work out

Have you seen the Brighton 'cool' people advert?

why is it ok to "dress down" on some days and not others? Surely once you've made the decision that "dress down" is acceptable, it's acceptable regardless of the day.
This annoys me.

I think it was someone on The News Quiz.

Yep they tried it but once again were late to the party.

Yep! So glad we moved from dress down Friday to being all week

Some jobs just don't work with a dress down day. I was thoroughly pissed off when I turned up to Disneyland and Mickey Mouse greeted a me in pair of jeans and a f*cking t-shirt.

You did. You could have gone in the taxi instead of assigning it to a colleague.

What was so important in the office that you had to stay there.

And it took you three hours to make that difficult choice.

Beards. I am the only one sick of seeing everyman and his dog with a beard???

imagine being almost 50, and not being able to grow a beard ;)

Because they aren't my responsibility, either.

It wasn't "assigned" to anyone - the colleague in question was our first-aider but wasn't comfortable taking a colleague in a taxi who was shaking uncontrollably with shock, shivering, couldn't really talk properly and had blacked out, taking a bang to the head.

By the time I made the "difficult choice", the lad had calmed down from the shock, was able to talk to the ambulance service and they advised it would be at least another hour.

That the ambulance service didn't see this as a priority was fine... my point was more that how can a country like ours be so short of money that we can't appropriately fund our health and emergency services to respond?

But no, you're right. It's all my fault.

People who walk and read a book at the same time. Piss off out of my way.

Wasn't the one on the far right once a Doctor Who Sontoran :eek:

I don't grown one because they're f***ng itchy and I'd look like a geography teacher. I feel sorry for those that feel compelled to grown one just because everyone else does.

Most people's wardrobes are at home though. I quite often forget dress down day as I'm not really that bothered, and my short term memory is shot.

Ours is all week. It would take a spectacularly bad memory not to be able to remember that.

Even when it was just Friday, you'd hope most people could remember which day of the week it was

Fair enough, ours is once a month. I like to call it 'dress up day'. As some of the people I work with look so shabby the rest of the month and actually make an effort for one day.

Yeah bloody bearded collies, bastards.

I am only messing with ya.

When I watched 'The Office' I had no idea that so many of David Brent's ideas would be introduced to the workplace deliberately. It's cringe worthy.

Insomnia and Cat's

I was thinking that only this morning. They seem to be the current fashion-statement amongst those with few other original ideas.

As much as people seem to dislike him, the observational aspect of the Office is brilliant! Exaggerated but not by a great deal.

Its probably been mentioned but people walking along staring at their fkin phones and not actually looking where they're going. Morons.

Beards AND tattooed arms.

Boring.

Totally agree about the beards, but you should escape the geography teacher bit provided you leave the tweed jacket with leather elbow patches in the wardrobe.

My Geog teacher to a tee :D

Yup. All these people need is a pair of red trousers.

Am I allowed a kagool?

Only if it is raining! :p

People who wear their jackets/sweaters around their wastes hanging down over their arse. You just know they never put them & think they are trendy

Kagoul
Waists

My old geography teacher sadly went blind as a result of diabetes. They let him invigilate on exams whilst practising on his braille machine. (True story).

"Mute point". My senior manager at work's stock phrase.

Moot

Hence the annoyance

Better explanation next time please.

Correct - bloody spell check!

I use the BBS when invigilating exams.

Yessir

Bloody Wikipedia.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagoule

People who dress like they are about to climb Mount Everest as soon as we get into late Sept...

Damn the English dictionary.

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/di...english/kagoul

Worse still draped over their shoulders and tied up!

Good lad.

With sunglasses balanced on the top of their heads and riding Vespas?

Hennessey playing well for Wales

Well he plays International games so infrequently

Nihal on 5 Live

People

Both real, and those on the internet. Everyone.

Why am I the only perfect person ? It's torture being 'right' ALL the time :D

The latest Marmite advert,
The father opens a Marmite DNA letter and announces that the whole family are 'lovers',
The small boy storms off saying 'I hate it, I hate it'.
All good so far.

Now, the mother says, in a normal voice 'he's never even tried it'
No emotion to indicate that this is an explanation and no hint that she could be covering up an illegitimate child scenario type thing, both of which would add to the story and make it make sense.

Why make an advert that annoying. Bastards.

The letter should have confirmed that they all have the yeast infection.

Marmite marketing dept if you're reading, you can have that one for free...

Not forgetting the upturned coller :p

Shit interviewer, thinks he's fvcking great.

Simon Brodkin (Lee Nelson) an unfunny waste of space
Emma Willis,Cat Deeley,Rufus Hound,how are these people in anyway famous?

Sarah Millican when she talks about fat women's bellies and periods.Disgusting and not funny...

I'd advise you to never watch Amy Schumer - your head may well explode.

Tripadvisor. Mutha****a's stalking me I'm sure. It knows exactly where I've been and furthermore it's near demanding a written review - I could swear I didn't have location on either. It's been doing this since I looked at a link on here for Pontin's Camber Sands - the next day it was trying to book me up for a holiday of a lifetime and just emailed another two places I've been tonight. Orwell was definitely on to something.

I give Orwell 5 stars.

The nationwide 'isn't life so wonderful, we really care about you' adverts. **** off

******* spot on, I ******* signed in to Google on my PC now I am being stalked everywhere I go, phone, tablet YT etc. I wouldn't buy from the ***** now if I desperately wanted any of their shit. I cannot be the only one, targeted advertising sucks cock.

Out the front getting my bike put on the bike rack on the Jeep and being approached by 2x young guys wanting a donation to their Drug Rehab place (legit) and giving me a sob story of their life on heroin.

Kind of had me trapped. I gave them $20 cash and said I didn't want a receipt.

I wished them well, but this sort of thing really pisses me off.

You should have said you didn't want a repeat.

There is only one good cat and that is a dead one.

Anything on 5live that isn't football.

I squirm listening to some of those presenters. They've all gone through the same twee BBC sausage machine.

I think I'm in love.:love:

Indeed I mentioned him earlier on this thread. He'd be more at home on CBEEBIES. His co presenter Sarah Brett is not much better and has a grating voice to boot

Yep. Sycophantic knobs the lot of them

Nicky Campbell is the only decent one among them. Rachel Burden is ok as well
