That, my dear old thing, is but mere coincidence

Murray threads being bumped every time he scores. Pining for a Brighton player? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Singing with the Holmesdale choir invisibule?

Having vivid dreams about waking up late for the train and when I get on it it's full of Yam Yam (Wolves) fans and on the way home it's full of happy Yam Yam fans, then I wake up annoyed and need a sleep!

There’s a feckin good chance that dream will become reality later

Meyer on the bench annoys me greatly

Basically... Yes.

Me posting in the wrong forum!!!

Yes sweetheart, of course it is.

Bollocks just Bollocks

:rolleyes:

What a shame.

The amount of airtime Sky keep giving to smug Craig Bellamy.

Such a smackable face.

Some of this week's annoyances:

An old but goody. People who press a lift call button and think it's an empty lift just for them.

People around you who talk or give running commentaries during (seated) concerts.

After decades of car insurance finding out that saying your car is kept in a locked garage is actually more expensive than saying it's left on the driveway overnight.

I ******* hate Samsung. What an odious company. I'm trying to register my product for the 5 year warranty that was promised when i bought it.

Their website is slick as **** when it wants to sell you something but as soon as you go the 5 year warranty promotion page, it becomes slow and laborious to use. Some functions need to be refreshed a few to times before they work.

You can tell the whole thing is designed to either make you quit the page in a huff or trick you into thinking you've registered when in fact the page has crashed.

Horrible, horrible *****.

Stacey Dooley
Chav estuary voice overs on TV programmes and adverts ie KFC

I actually quite like Dooley, when you break it down she's actually quite good at what she does and is not afraid to put herself in the path of danger. I can understand why people might find her a bit annoying though.

Yes, fair dos to Dooley for her documentaries- it’s her appearances on Strictly which I sporadically catch, that grind my gears.
Good artists who sell out and do crap movie themes - specifically Aerosmith and Joe Cocker.

‘On point’

Fvck on.

People who pompously state ‘You heard it here first’.

And people who provide their opinion & then state ‘FACT.’

If it was sincere I’m all for it.

ESPN Latin America
NFL Redzone is ad free on US ESPN.
Never mind that ESPN cannot seem to sell even one second of ad space in Latin America (which is odd in itself, but not necessarily annoying) they still have to pollute their programming with ad breaks which are actually promotional breaks for ESPN and specific ESPN up and coming shows. But as NFL Redzome itself doesn't have ad breaks, they just randomly break onto the live show.
Why? I mean if they had to show revenue earning adverts I could just about accept it, but just to repeat the same monotonous and superfluous ESPN ads over and over all afternoon is bloody annoying.

Insomnia. I ******* hate you. :grrr:

Mrs Adlerhorst: hey, it’s 6am
Me: urrrghhh
Mrs Adlerhorst: didn’t you have a flight at 7?
Me: ****!

That was expensive.

Oops. Is the alarm Russian?

Look on the bright side.....its only three more sleeps till Christmas :D::p

I know what you mean though, I often go through bouts of it.

Yes her documentary on 'yabba' was ...well complete bollocks.
Maybe she could have started with learning how that its 2 words and how to say it. Yaah (drug/medicine) Baah (mad).

Elgin sneaked into your house and changed the alarm time ?

People puffing out their chests saying "So here's what it is" (usually self-obsessed Americans who have an opinion they're going to force on you & not listen to your reply, as it DEFINITELY has no value).
Assholes!

People using loud hailers.

We just had a fire drill at work. The fire marshalls were using loud hailers to provide updates. They either didn't put their mouth near enough to it, in which case all it did was muffle their already weedy voices. Or it just distorted their voice. Either way they couldn't be understood.

Hermes,loosing my bloody parcel.First and last time I will be using them.Can't get to speak to anyone either,all e-mails which are taking to long:wallbash::wallbash:

People who constantly reply I know to whatever you say. Usually Scottish people.

Well yeah you f*cking know now!! :grrr:

Sports teams celebrating any achievement as a contest in its own right, usually adorned with pre-emptive, bad-karma-inducing 'Champions' shirts/flags etc.

I just go direct to their store and buy my silk scarves. And the personal service is a dream.

Little dogs yelping all night. Send them all to Korea.

Buy an ultrasonic dog trainer and blast the little ****ers. Its what i did.

I live in the Rhondda valleys so the landscape kind of keeps the noise in and could be coming from anywhere. There is also an owl that makes a heck of a racket but that is wild so I can forgive that. Perhaps it's the owners of he dog that should be sent away.

If you're in the Rhondda, then maybe the dogs are making yelps of passion.....

Check your bins. Seriously

Do you live next door to Elgin?

:supergrin:

Plastic packaging. I always did the glass, plastic bottles, tins recycling but since blue planet have got very anal about sorting everything. There is bloody tones of it, sweet wrappers, crisp wrappers, Cheese in little pots frozen trays. There isn't anything that isn't made from the stuff. Luckily on the IOW its one of the best for plastic recycling so its worthwhile but half of it is needless. For example why when you buy fresh bread do you need a layer of plastic to act as a window??? Why not make it all of paper? Kit kats used to be paper and foil now its plastic.

Are you in trouble, mate? Do you want me to contact the British consulate?

The prog rock thread being active this evening on the BBS.

Whoever writes some of the articles on the Palace website:

This December we welcome back to Selhurst Park some of the heroes from Palace’s final day win over Sheffield Wednesday in the 2009/10 season

(it was a 2-2 draw)

The puke inducing Trump Kanye love in

The negativity around Palace at the moment. Benteki, Sorlot, Wickham, HFanatics and the seat moving. It’s all a bit Meh

Actually he used to. Well a mile away anyway. Near enough to hear them probably.

Are you back now with all powers restored ?

Royal weddings.

Calculus. What an utterly pointless, pretentious, *****trick load of old ******* bollocks.

I'm done.

Philistines

Plastic Cling Wrap... Why does it stick to everything except the food container you are trying to cover?

The term ‘meh’ makes me cringe everytime I read it on the BBS.

A bit like Jack Nicholson in 'one flew over thr cuckoos nest' mate :p

Maybe you try cling film instead.

Another driving one: When driving a land rover or other large 4x4 down a narrow country lane certain cars opposing direction will drive straight at you without decelerating to force you to veer on to the grass verge. Don't get me wrong it's also annoying the other way round when a typical school run type just sits in the middle of the road, it's an off road vehicle FFS but that's just the behaviour of arseholes. I'm happy to go off road a bit but the kamikaze thing gets on my tits, happened to me twice earlier today and I was only driving for about 15 minutes or so total.

Today I was coming off the roundabout off the a22 and beginning the climb towards narrow lane and a 4 by 4 coming the other way was in the middle of the road haring it down

Glad to hear it (apart from the ending of course ) :p

I may have mentioned this earlier but I don't remember if I did...

The Nationwide ad with the girl and her gay mate.

'I can call you at 3 in the morning so I can share sunrises with you.'

Try calling me at 3 in the morning and I'll work your Nationwide savings book up your pipe.

Or go on a killing spree.

You've had a 2nd lobotomy?

One man's wrap is another man's film... you say tomahto, I say tomayto.

https://jpg.rocklandkosher.com/conte...ap-100-ft.jpeg

Not yet. Still at the 'pretending I've had the first one' stage Baldy.

Maybe the next banning will see me go doolaly bananas, but for now, I'm as sane as you.

:p

Nice to have friends with hair.

Jack Whitehall.
He really is an annoying pretentious twat.

The ***** who think its a good idea to endorse other ***** prancing around a ball room by watching them on the TV.

*****.

Glory hunting wankers that try to justify themselves but telling you that their dad/grandad/whoever was also a glory hunter.

So that's alright then.

Buy and drive a battered 1990s Volvo 850 estate.

They soon slow down!

W*nkers!

Claudia Winkleman in those Head and Shoulders ads.





No, scrap that. Just Claudia Winkelman.

The National Lottery 'Fisherman' add. Trawler man returns home to find what appears to be a 'Dear John' letter in an empty house then runs off down the street to find his missus has moved them into a slighty better house down the road. Trawler man seeems midly elated that they just happened to win the lottery while he was away as if it was expected to happen sometime.

Would be more convincing if I'd won anything since they upped it to two quid :frown:

Misquotes in the papers...like this from the telegraph....about Anjem Chaudry....:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...s-ever-placed/

"Harry Fletcher, a probation union official and now director of the victims’ rights campaign, said: “All prisoners are subject to licence conditions but because he was convicted of terrorism offences they will be particularly rigorous in this case.

“They will restrict his movements, his use of the internet, who he can associate with and even where he can go.

“But police and probation also have a duty of care to him and will have to ensure he is provoked or attacked. Obviously this all comes with associated costs.”

The numb nuts actor in the Plusnet adverts.

Having to wait 7 weeks for a doctors appointment! This is America FFS... not the NHS!

Going to an expensive restaurant and the waiters are pretentious wankers who make you feel like you should have entered through the tradesman's entrance!

I'm not sure why, but this whole Richard Quest report on the longest flight annoys me...

https://www.cnn.com/videos/travel/20...ravel-orig.cnn

The guy is not my favourite to begin with.... 2 x carry on-roll aways... taking all 3 meals... glad I was not on this flight near him!

I know Singapore Airlines want to get as much publicity as possible, but I don't get all the fuss. It's just a new plane. This route existed before, it's nothing new.
I flew it many times. Used to be exclusively business class but now has a premium economy cabin too.

Interesting. You did it one hop, no refueling stops?

Odd they are making such a big deal of it.

yep. One hop. It was the 4 engined Airbus A340-500
From wiki:
They withdrew the route about 5 years ago because of fuel costs (the A340 was fuel hungry apparently) and I was told they were the only operators of that particular A340 variant and as such keeping the planes running was expensive too.

OK - did some research, and got confirmation of your post CT! (Not that I didn't believe you).

It all seems to be a matter of semantics, and elaboration of the truth!

From USA Today:

Sounds like between the "No Economy" and the fuel efficiency, they are claiming it as ground breaking... nothing to do with the actual non-stop aspect!

3 days for the satellite surgery or 1 week for my own doc,NHS doing ok in Basildon:p

Humblebragging

To be fair, this wait is for a specialist... well a dermatologist anyway. Not like they're out there saving lives (Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about that!).

I could probably get to see my primary care doctor in a week to 10 days if I had to.

Getting on the 22.41, and finding out it was the wrong 22.41.

First stop Cambridge. ****ety ****

But then lucked into a member of staff doing the exact same thing and the train making an additional stop at Welwyn to let him off. Just as the slow train to my station pulled up on the adjacent platform. Which all in all was quite fortunate

Food just being worse in Sheffield than it is in London, particularly Chinese.

Where did you go in Sheff mate ?

Wimbledon's collective bakeries being unable to make anything without burning it

Sitting at home waiting for a phone call which apparently never materialized.

Being sat next to someone who eats a Greggs steak bake for breakfast on a packed tube in rush hour.

You need the "Things that make you jealous" thread

How precious society has become - Kleenex is scrapping "Mansize" branding from its tissue boxes after 60 years on the shelves as consumers called it out for being sexist.

PauLo will be happy at least

Try Christchurch, which despite having a large Chinese community, is utterly berift of a decent, nay even reasonable, Chinese restaurant or carry out. :(

Replacing it instead with "Dunksize"

Bloody stupid name for a tissue when you consider males aren’t physically bigger or tend to have larger lung capacity than some other genders.

I’d propose ‘Gender Neutral, Fat Bastard, Size Tissues’ as a suitable alternative name.

That's fat shaming, Blind. And, being gender fluid, you've offended my other self.

Twat.

My cunit of a neighbour presenting me with a bill of £210 for vets treatment on his dog because it escaped through a hole in my fence and got a little scratched on the railway line.

Like I’m going to be offended by someone who is incapable of restricting their food intake to the point that they become obese fat fuckers.

If you’re gender fluid, I haven’t got a clue whether you were offended before, during or after my post. Let me know exactly when and why and I’ll possibly apologise.

Unless you’re obese of course, in which case come back to me when you’ve done something about it. :)

If it wasn't for all the fat, the rage would be coursing through my veins right now you horrible bastard.
