I love holding my belly and I'm not pregnant.

Errrm the previous customer was a dunker and clumsy?

I would have to say that if you ever have stale hot cross buns, dunking them into coffee makes them gorgeous but if anyone is trying it don't sit next to them :) In our house they never last long enough to go stale and so it's an alien concept these days.

The later ignores me.
I’m not a fan of the window seat but I won’t put my bag on the inside seat.
Would be happy to stand up and let someone in if they ask.
Just need to stick my legs in the aisle.

The amount of people phoning me using their speaker phone when they don't have to. I usualy have to ask why they sound like they're on the space station during a solar storm then they admit they are on speaker with the phone some way off. (Car hands free excepted).

Good.

I hang up.

or sit on the inside but sideways with their legs planted in the space where your legs ought to go

Watching a video without headphones. When you ask them do they have headphones they get offended.

Getting a cramp in the leg.

Calf or shin?

The footy club running out of Victoria, so had to switch to Cruzkaka...had 2 cans and now have the shits.

People not holding doors open for others.
When did common curtsey end?

I still curtsey for the Queen.

Commoner curtsey?

:D

Both for me. And the foot. Worse still when it wakes you up at night. Takes ages to subside.
Yes, I am decrepit :D

I see what you did there

People who have cell phone conversations on a train before 8am, just **** off

I've gotta go to work, I'm tired, grumpy and have only had one or two cups of coffee, you muggy *****

Are you in Birmingham, Alabama?

I've started getting them as well (in bed at night).

I assume it's all part of getting old. I asked my Doc last time I saw him and he said there was nothing he could do about it... Thanks!

Eat banana and drink some water. I know people who are diabetic, suffer from this due to dehydration. (my mum who is diabetic does and it is really painful)

Your Doctor needs a slap

Is Restless Leg Syndrome the same thing? My elderly dad suffers from this...

Pubs full of Sutton Chels turning off the excellent play off semi to watch the build up of the cup final even though they haven't turned the sound up yet

yep, here too. Left calf. Middle of the night. Very annoying.

Recently I have been eating bananas (as advised by DrRazor) - one every 2 days. It seems to work. Apparently one possible cause is lack of zinc and/or magnesium, both of which are found in bananas.

Yep, the ones in the shin have to be the worst.

I should add that there maybe a correlation between my leg cramps at night and an over abundance of alcohol intake before bed.

All part of my pre-diabetis I've read.

And yes, bananas help, they just don't go too well with red wine!

No, that is more than a cramp. Bless him. Someone at my previous work has it, which did make me look it up when she mentioned as I had never heard about it till then.

:)

Is restless leg syndrome the same as these people who when sitting have a foot constantly tapping/shaking?

Drives me nuts... sat next to someone on a plane doing it for 11 hours one time. I always think it's some kind of show of nerves. They have to know they are doing it.

Liverpool supporting women who pretend to give an arse, when watching the footy on TV in a bar with their husband's, go oooh and aaah, any time the ball goes 50 feet over the crossbar...

Yes, not pleasant. He's 88 with poor circulation and on oxygen quite a bit of the time. But he hangs in there!

I think so, I think it is the urge to move the leg. That would have been very painful for that person. I can only sympathise.

Bless him and I don’t think there is a cure other than rest up which is not much help

Banana fritters to go with the wine?


(I am being silly here hehe)

Having an itchy a hole...

Never have this problem, unless its 3 in the morning and ive been woken up by something... then no more sleep and im ruined for the day. Why the **** does this happen?

Sorry for the TMI

Have you tried a banana?

Chelsea fans at wembley, half of them looked bored and they are so so quiet

Im willing to eat one...

So dull, watching but dont gives a shit who wins. Palace there would make it special.

One day its gonna be us lifting that cup

Commentators calling Alexander-arnold 'Trent' (as if they know him). Same game they dont call Loftus-Cheek Ruben so its not the length of name that's the reason.

Alexander Arnold is twice as long as Lortus Cheek. The name, I mean.

People who slow to 30mph below the speed limit as soon as they see a speed camera.

Signing up for something online and having to enter all your information including copies of insurance cards.

Getting to the place and having to fill in forms asking for exactly the same information and provide the same insurance cards for them to scan.

Left hand meet right hand...

In bed, right calf. Had another at 05.00am last night.

I've consulted Dr. Google in the past past about this when I have suffered similar attacks. For me, it was linked to being dehydrated. So drinking a little more water and also stretching the leg muscles before going to sleep seemed to help.

Edf energy phoning me to tell me they are going to increase my energy bill, after asking me security questions they then put me on hold, I got bored and hung up. You would have thought if they were phoning me they would have their information ready.

Now obviously we don't need to see adverts full of perfectly formed individuals with unobtainable physiques (for most of us).

However, I'm getting fed up with seeing ads full of grossly overweight individuals wobbling their sweaty bits about. I don't think it's a particularly healthy message that it's normal. It does have the effect of putting me off eating when I'm watching though.

:D

Went for a walk yesterday evening, only a couple of miles, big pain in left big toe and above left knee - kept me awake til 3.20am - i am hating getting old. Dr Google says gout, so that's nice.

Hate getting old? beats the alternative.

:p. Although my mother-in-law's favourite saying was 'getting old is not for the faint-hearted'.

Tossers who decide to visit a car boot sale, decide to buy something for £1.50 and then offer you a £20 note.

Tossers who come into a shop, decide to buy something for .59p and then offer you a credit or debit card.

What did they buy for 59p and although I always carry £10 we have been indoctrinated to use a card for contactless covid

I've been having a real problem with pain in an around my left toe for a while now. Doctor sent me for a blood test to check my Uric acid levels and whilst they were slightly increased, they didn't think the levels were significant. They gave me a course of gout meds which did f**k all. Then had an x-ray that shows osteoarthritis all around my toes. Waiting now to have a series of bones fused in my foot that should make life easier. But it looks like my dancing days are over!

Been there.

My pain is in my shoulder (slight) and predominantly hands, which is particularly bad at times; sometimes I cannot grip properly or open water bottles. Rheumatology insists it is gout. Gout medication, which I have tried twice now, and this time increased as per instruction has had zero effect, except for the side-effect of nosebleeds from the Allopurinol (the idiots know my medication history). I cannot afford that whilst on Apixaban, so I stopped it all. Appointment coming up in a month or so, but I have zero confidence in them. If they want yet more blood tests they can do one. I will just put up with the variable pain and inconvenience.

A disgorger.

Do you run a sex shop?

No, that side of the business is mail order only.

If it is gout you have my sympathies. I've had where the weight of a single cotton sheet on the bed was so painful :mad:

Talking of which, Im still waiting for my last order.

I had quite frequently pre-transplant. Very painful. Never had it since (ten years).

Going through security at San Diego airport and on arriving back to Blighty, realising I've left my IPad/Kindle etc. there.


It's not just annoying, it's f*cking rage-inducing!

Feeling tad ‘Schadenfreude’

How annoying :)

Well there's a c*nt. :)

Check pm’s.

They add the transaction fee (1.7pct) in small stand-alone stores here for purchases under 10 dollars. Still, the vast majority pay with a card. Australia supposedly will be totally cashless within 18 months.

Local Safeway supermarket here has just put in those QR code self scanned exit points... So you don't even scan at the checkout now, just scan as you put the items in your Trolley. Then flash the QR code as you walk thru the POS checkout point.

That’s illegal over here in the UK.

I find that even when I use a debit card (not a credit card) I'm more often being charged a fee, including when it's over $10. And it's only when I look at the receipt that I see it.

That's interesting, I was chopping a cauliflower the other day (as you do) and I couldn't grip the knife hard enough with one hand to do it. Cauli's aren't exactly made of rock!

My hands and feet are almost always freezing cold too. Hmm, appointment time I think...

The butt plugs are out of stock? Bloody brexit!

They are supposed to inform you or have a notice at the POS
For instance Aldi charge .5 pct on all card deductions AFAIK.

It’s only the XXXL that are out of stock.

If you’d accept a smaller size, we could add them to Biggus’s order, and they’d be carriage paid?

That was WCBs birthday present.....

:D

Photos of monkey pox in my Google news feed...

Getting the £150 refund of Council Tax, then immediately having to give £65 straight back, due to my wife's inability to see a bright yellow freshly painted box junction.

Being called “bud” by various people, both verbally and on texts,who I don’t know but have to deal with, for whatever reasons

You know what’s coming…






























….Bud

U ok hun? PM me.

He won't make that mistake again - he'll be much weiser next time.

:D

Mate, what's worse is people starting a sentence with "mate".

Where is my remote control auto annihilation button when I need it ?? :eek:

Sorry chief. That's a feckin killer. :frown:

Pox Island.

Hi, I was getting night cramps which were waking me nightly up until a couple of years ago - seems to be an age/boozing thing. A friend suggested that I sleep with corks in the bed. Just get a small string bag or similar and place them in the bed, you do not have to sleep on them! I was very cynical at first but it really seem to work as night cramps now only occur very occasionally. A few friends have had the same reaction and if you google say "corks for night cramps" for example you get quite a few hits. BTW we've always done it with used corks (ie ones from opened bottle of wine). I don't know if this makes a difference but hic!

I used to get terrible cramps in my hamstring. Sometimes both going at the same time. Came from working outside in the hot New York summers and then sculling a gallon of beer in the pub on the way home. It was my mother( who believes in old remedies) who told me about the cork remedy. I'd be lying if I said I've never had a cramp since but the frequency of them dropped considerably.

Being 2-0 up against a tinpot relegation threatened club and losing 3-2 ������

After the last week, extra time, pitch invasions and pillocks with flares.

Getting fu cking Covid...for the 2nd time.

Being done for paedophilia and having to pay lawyers:veryangry

Okay, maybe I should clarify:eek:

As I have said before, I belong to a charity club called the Lions.

In the 70s, when I was still in England, our Lions club donated football shirts to a team in the City where I live now.

It turns out the coach of the team was a kiddie fiddler who is now dead(good, I hope it was a bad one), but the City was sued, and now the City is trying to sue anyone that helped that team, including the Royal Canadian Legion and us.

We send our dues to Lions in the states, one big happy family, we thought. Until we asked about insurance:lux: which does not extend to Lions of Canada:veryangry.

So far, with just responding, we have spent $2,700 of donated money that is supposed to help disadvantaged people to the Lawyers.

I said to give what we have to the needy and disband and start again after, feck erm!

It sounds nuts but it is happening.

Sorry to here that Les, but happy to here it is not you personally, which I could not begin to imagine must be like.

That's shit, that's like Crewe sueing the kit suppliers, team.sponsors and anyone else who donated to the club whilst that bastard Bennell was there.

Needing an Engineering Degree to buy a 60W (old money) light bulb.

Bring Hedgehog shopping with you, I'm sure he is the owner of that degree, from back in the days when a degree was a degree.
We can then start a thread, "How many BBSers does it take to buy a light bulb"

"No good deed goes unpunished," springs to mind. Just curious, but have the press got hold of this story. How donations that should be going to the needy are being used to pay lawyers. A bit like the over flowing collection plates at Sunday mass. A lot of that money was being spent on lawyers who were defending the nonces who were preaching from the pulpit.
I think you're right in saying disband and restart. You know full well these lawyers will milk this to the last. They'll charge you 400 bucks to send an e-mail to the city's lawyer, most of which discusses what discreet restaurant they can use when the case gets adjourned for the 15th time.

Got all excited having read the Top Gun Maverick reviews and booked a ticket to see it next Wednesday. I then re-watched Top Gun after, I don't know, 25 years last night and realised how dodgy it was.

As the late critic Roger Ebert said at the time, it's a difficult film to review as the good bits are really, really good but the bad bits are just relentless.

So, It’s people starting a sentence with “So”.
