Your moaning about Mrs Pallet aren't you....
:D

Last yrars left over stocck.

One of them (the iPads that is) looks like it's set up with a Chess game or Draughts... maybe to keep any potential visitors (Carol Singers, obviously) entertained whilst waiting for the door bell to be answered?

Selling the green ones, the blue ones & the purple ones all year round is OK though, surely?

Isn't quality street sold all year round?

I love the green triangles!!! Can you still get them? I couldn't find them last year.

Surely just lazy bastards that couldn’t be arsed to take last years down ?

Yeah but not the xmas tubs. They were flogging Roses, Heroes tubs etc too in August.

Pretty much a whole tin of them, although you will need to throw in a few purple ones & blue coconut eclairs.

You're welcome :D

Apparently last year John Lewis had a Quality Street Pick and Mix Station. I'm going to have to check it out this year.


Edit : I see Olympian has already posted this. Cheers :p

The long thin toffee ones always get left but I don't mind them now.
Must be getting old as I quite like Werther's now too.

No they were out on sunday putting them up proudly

Always:love:

Banks not giving you a direct number you have to go through some foreign call centre that you have to spell every ******* word after going through a load of automated bollocks with sort codes etc "To get to the right place" which is the WRONG place and you have to do it all again. No wonder the banks are being stuffed by Fintech companies.

I've noticed my bank (Citi) seems to have come to it's senses and stopped this nonsense.

Although you never get to talk to your actual branch, at least the person seems to be in The US.

Plus, if I have a question or problem, I've taken to doing the Live Chat thing on their website. It seems to work out really well, and you can get a record of what went down.

I actually had to do this yesterday when a cash machine only gave me $40 when I asked for $140 and the receipt said it gave me $80. I'm glad I didn't have to explain this to India! So much easier putting in writing on the Live Chat.

Work collections for people who are leaving of their own free will for another job

It’s bonkers.

‘Right I’m off to one of our competitors for a 20% pay rise’

‘Ok. Good luck. And we’ve had a whip round and here’s £80 to help you on your way to your new job that pays you 20% more than the majority of people who paid into your collection get’

Fvck that

I' ve used First Direct since they started and they are brilliant.:lux::lux:

I remember no collections and the leaver would put money behind the bar for a knees-up.

Co-operative Bank call centre is in the UK.

Don’t agree.
It’s to show appreciation of said person.

After pushing the button, waiting to cross at a zebra crossing or waiting for a lift to come, when someone strolls up and presses the already lit button again repeatedly. Like they don’t trust I have pressed the button properly. Or they think they will do a better job of pressing the button than I can. Arseholes.

People who press the buttons at traffic lights.

There's a place round the corner from me where they are still up from last year.

Does it ?

Appreciation that they’ve fecked off to a competitor for more £ ?

Which of course is their prerogative and happens all the time. But why the chuffin hell should people dip into their pockets to give someone money when they’re leaving to go to another job earning more money ?

Defies belief

That’s more like it !

The precarious Tupperware mountain in one of our kitchen cupboards. 37 pots & 33 lids of varying sizes, none of which appear to fit each other.

Ha. A plastic Jenga, if you will.

Managing to keep out of the pub on my usual Wednesday evening 4 pint visit as I need to lose a bit of weight.

And then sitting here watching the football chomping my way through a box of mint chocolates

Useless twathouse

Companies who allow fraud to be carried out on your account and then can't be made to answer the phone with a real human being no matter what you do, how long you wait or what buttons you press.

Three, that means you. And see come March when my minimum term runs out my contract with you is going to be toast.

Brompton fold up bikes and their owners, who habitually seem to have large rucksacks to complement the s**ty bike, on busy trains.

Little yappy dogs
People that don’t pick up their dog shit.

IME pressing the button makes f*** all difference to anything.

Next 2 months are gonna be a living Hell. Brexit and the General Election everytime I turn on the TV., and then Slade and Wizard everytime I turn on the radio or pop into a supermarket.

61 days encounting...........

I'm off to Spain.....oh wait a minute another election...

Is there a button that someone presses and it all starts. Only watched TV for about an hour yesterday and if it wasn't adverts for cars it was bloody Christmas shopping ads.:veryangry

There was a fully decorated Christmas Tree in the Porter from the Villa game onwards, I believe!!

FFS!!

We have elections all the time...wouodnt worry.

Is that the Chinese Benny Hill joke.

Not true.

Sky are the worst for this. They do everything to avoid you talking to a real person.

Walking out of supermarkets and the alarm going off all the time.

Stop stealing things?

shan’t

Queueing in a sweet shop behind chavvy types buying booze and/or fags or school kids buying sweets and/or crisps.

Easy get rid of Sky, complete waste of money.

All of them. Why do I want to buy presents for work colleagues

Special birthdays I get( 21st etc) - run of the mill birthdays in our office just a card goes round- no collection- which is fair enough.

?? Isn't that why they are sweet shops ?? :confused:

Maybe you just find queuing annoying, which is fine!

Richard Osman’s ‘jokes’ on Pointless.

Falling for a girl who wants to be friends. You would think after 50 odd years I would have learnt.

Harvey Elliott’s haircut. ******* dickhead.

That little blond South African rugby prick

Wankers on Strictly

This in spades. Bout time BBC killed this off. Its so sh1te

Waking up to another hypo.

Might need to go and take it out on weeds :D

Dumb question.... What's a hypo?

Hypoglycemic attack. Without doubt the scariest thing(s) I've ever endured. Trust you're OK Dave?

It doesn't get any easier.

Members of the BBS who say "can I buy your spare ticket" then break off all communication !

Fine thanks.

Occasionally, I get my insulin dose wrong at night. Luckily I am 'only' Type 2. Because I am needing less insulin these days, occasionally I get it slightly wrong. I wake up feeling very confused and not sure what is actually real, but eventually realise what is going on though. Some full fat coke/lemonade and a small bar of chocolate corrects it quite quickly.

Trying to work out how Ableton music software works. Stumped. Need to spend longer on it, or revert to Cubase which is simple enough for my tiny mind to cope with.

when you've worked it out let me know too

Your selling to the wrong kind of bbs nenbers:D

F*ckin Fireworks.

Arsehole wankers letting off fireworks for the 6th night in a row - and it is still only 3rd November! Sounds like a war zone out there. My mother's dog and cat are petrified. Again. :veryangry.

Time to follow Sainsbury's lead and ban them for private sale.

Totally agree.

I don't know why people bother with their own private fireworks shows. They all look and sound shit anyway. And I agree they're annoying. Don't mind the big organised displays.

Robert Bryndza and his dodgy grasp of South London geography. According to one character, who lives in Hilly Fields and works at Lewisham Row police station, he hopes the traffic in Sydenham doesn't slow him down on his way home......why he goes via Sydenham and not just drive up Loampit Vale and turn left into Tyrwhitt Road up to Hilly Fields Crescent is beyond me.

:):)

People at the gym who go for a piss, don’t wash their hands, and then go grab a barbell.

They go for worse than a piss mate. Have always said Gyms should have hand sanitiser by the machines. They might be covered in faecal matter but at least you can use the sanitiser after you've used them.

People who can't go to the toilet without pissing and shitting on their hands.

I’ve used Magix 2003 version all these years and hold onto it for dear life. I’ve tried to venture into new programs, even later editions of Magix, but get frustrated and can’t be arsed to learn a totally new language. Just slows your creativity down. Can’t be bothered with it.

I've tried and struggled too.

Audacity is about my level. Not quite the same thing though.

People who talk loudly in public places to show off basically

My particular annoyance within this group are men who take their kids round supermarkets on a Saturday morning and bellow at them to prove what marvellous hands on parents they are, when we all know the real reason is that they spend so much time at work that this is just massive over compensation. Don’t know why it has to be public tbh.

Yeah, there must be something wrong with the hundreds of millions of us all around the world that do support a f1 team, not to mention the Millions of revenue it brings in to the UK.
But we can't all have Royal Blood.

Not sure about his "flesh and blood" comment either, given the amount of deaths there have been in motorsport.

Rugger fans who wouldn't be seen dead supporting their local club, but love to sit in a bar espousing the virtues of the game and sneering at football fans, when there is some international games on.

And then getting very shirty when you point this out....

How do you know? Ive never seen someone with shit on their hands?

Stop trying to be clever, sunbeam.

Nationwide are also very good, overdraft without asking, set your own payback per month as long as its over £25, and a web site that's easy to find your way around. maybe uts because there a Building Society and not a Bank

Thats very Alan Partridge:lux::D

I'm awaiting mfbiatch to come and point out a quicker way.:D

Im not trying to be clever I just wondered if you had seen it or it was more paranoia about germs rather than people with actual shit on their hands, as you quoted the post below mine, their ‘might’ be faecal matter. Germs are everywhere, the touchscreen in fastfoods places are covered in germs for example. I personally try not to think about it otherwise you end up like Howard Hughes. If you have OCD then fair enough, I understand. I really just wondered if you saw dirty people with piss and shit and their hands.

He is their Fly Half, I hate him too, wish he was English though

Helicopter?

Men who wear polo tops with the collars turned up (they also tend to be Rugby fans).

As they say football is a gentleman's game played by thugs.

Ruby Union is a thugs game played by gentlemen

Rugby league is a thugs game played by thugs.*







* I like RL.

Maybe time you placed me on ignore. I can do the same.

Grabbed a mars bar in a petrol station with a coffee thought that's expensive, not had one for years though.

Got back to the car and it's a protein mars wtf tastes awful, expensive and who racks up 40% extra protein by eating a mars bar?!

Reminds me of Barry Venison

Neil Ruddock ?

Crack on sweetheart.

Na de Klerk runs about

So do i both hate him but admire him.

The broken boiler i my house, and waiter for the gas fitter with the replacement part for 5 days.

your gas fitter has a personal waiter? How very civilized.

Are you Norwich Eagle?
