Croydon Fcukin Council - yet again. Bunch of arsehole bullies.

Now sending me out another new demand for my old address - to my new address! - and demanding why had I cancelled the Direct Debit? Because my bank has already had to recover a payment you took wrongly, you cunts.

A second re-bill has now arrived, threatening "further action" if I do not pay. Wankers. Told them their fortune via e-mail, got an automated reply telling me they are busy and could take 4 weeks to reply, despite threatening "further action" before then. Double wankers.

How I wish I really had a solicitor! I really don't need this.

Try not to worry about it, davech. A lot of this will be automated processes with barely any human interaction. Just ignore it.
I got a letter threatening bailiffs coming to my door for a parking ticket I'm disputing the other day. It's electronic threatening rubbish which I ignore. Nobody is going to turn up, it's all bollocks.
For your state of mind, do the same, sir. Log what you've done & forget about it for now.

' Go fukc yourself ' is a favourite of mine

Oh, it's well documented, SC.

Trouble is, they model themselves on the USA system of shoot first and ask questions later, under the claim the law is on their side, regardless. I have been on the wrong end of their incompetence before. This time, when the Coronavirus problems are over, I am going for them

Ok mate. Sound off about it on here, but try not to stew on it. :p

:p

"Enjoy"

I echo that.
Don't let the bastards grind you down, dave.

Yep.....

+1 for 'stay safe'. It's a little grain of doubt/negativity that we can do without right now. What's wrong with stoicism and stiff upper lip?

Gregory Porter irritates me.

Getting sucked in by a Groupon offer, no time to take advantage because of online classes, go and have a look and it's sold out.

80% off a pretty top end pressure cooker. Over 100 notes going for 25.

Then wasted half an hour looking at things I don't need.

Yah boo sucks to you.

That’s better, but I’m not religious. :lux::lux:

“Keep smiling”.
No.

Talking of smiling, people these days seem to be able to smile at will for photographs. How the fk do they do that?

Yeah, be lucky.

Fair enough you find the phrase annoying. It just made me think about when I use and greetings in general.

I see ‘Take Care’ as an affectation that doesn't literally mean the words but is a formal way of saying goodbye. Much in the same way I would say ‘how are you’
If I say take care, it means I actually give a shit about the person Im saying goodbye to, it’s not a request but a expression of affection. I also think it’s just an english expression. When anyone asks me ‘how are you’ 9 times out of 10 I will automatically say ‘not bad’. Greetings are fairly automatic I think. The subtext is more important than the words themselves ie we are doing a hello process, now we are doing a goodbye process. This happens alot and the scale of it depends on how well we know the person and also how quick we need the exchange. It’s a metaphorical ‘handshake’ without it we would be almost robotic.

I find the recent trend of ‘stay safe’ tacky as hell and seems smarmy, self-virtuous patronising; which you may see the same as ‘take care’ that’s why this thread exists, everything is annoying to someone somewhere. Though I think people would use it more widely to everyone.

You’re probably right about ‘Take care’ but it annoys me nevertheless. Getting annoyed by something isn’t necessarily logical, I guess.

Micah Richards.. Starting to become the darling of Radio 5live in the same way that Savage did.. and Richards is equally as annoying if not worse.. actually worse.

He’s actually useless

He was on TV maybe back end of last year. Mr State The Bloody Obvious.

Donald Trump - starting to think he's not cut out for the president job

You are well within your rights to get annoyed as I said in my post. I want to reserve the right to get annoyed at people saying ‘get’ inside of ‘have’ for example

How about people who say ‘I’m good’ when they mean ‘I’m well’? (Another of mine, along with plenty of others, mainly unneeded Americanisms.) Just don’t expect me to explain my logic!

I said this ages ago on this thread but now it's getting bizarre.

Why, in an empty supermarket car park, do people decide to park next to you?

F*ck off you c*nts.

Was out doing the weekly shop today and car park is 2/3rd empty. Cue woman spending ages trying to reverse park into a space between two other cars

Cars get lonely, too. Haven't you seen the Pixar film?

Lockdown Weekends. You can shove your 6th & 7th weekday where the chloroquine don’t shine.

:p

That reminds me, when I returned to my car in a half empty supermarket car park last week, there was an identical car parked beside mine.

I assumed the driver did it as a little joke, but now you’ve said this, maybe that car moved itself there afterwards?

They did look like twins, created on the same production line.

Adult couples in supermarkets. I thought the idea was one adult only.

‘My bad’
‘On point’
‘Rocked up’

**** off

As mentioned above illogical and very personal thing to get annoyed at stuff.

It annoys me everyone calling it ‘lockdown’ even though our government has never referred to the current guidelines and restrictions as such and have been very careful to not call it that. It’s a media phrase. Seeing as it’s an English term, no other country has called it that. It was Quarantine in Lombardy at first but quickly became ‘lockdown’ in the press. I guess like ‘brexit’ it is a buzzterm that sticks.

Can I get

This and all the other shite seems to be office orientated,you wankers:D

I am annoyed by that in normal times. Although I shop with the wife sometimes, I tend to wander off and meet her at cashier.

I used to hate couple shopping in the UK. Acting is if they owned the store, because the were cocooned in their coupling.

This annoyance is getting hackneyed now.

You could say that the annoyance is getting annoying.

Not sure but maybe over here 'quarantine' is considered more associated with animals?

Then some people in New Cross and Bermondsey are in Quarantine.

Another phrase that was getting annoying was ‘ Living My Best Life’.
To be fair, not really hearing that at the moment!

.

Wafts of cannabis smoke coming from next door.
They're both in their 80's for crying out loud.
Country's going to pot!

On that note:

People who insist on parking front ways in a bay.

Almost always leads to bent parking, takes longer and makes it harder to get out.

Agree on all 3 of those, especially the first one.

Warburton’s crumpets are lovely but why do they sell them in packs of 9?
I’m tight so I won’t put my double toaster on for a single crumpet 😂

Simple buy two packets....:supergrin:

I take it you say ‘can I get’

People still saying “Really?” in that silly, over-emphasised way, still need to be rounded-up.....along with adults that say “Pardon” in a child-like voice. It sort of sounds like “padden”
There are still pockets of over-users of “literally” too.

Wow, theres an age limit on cannabis use?

People that say I ll reach out or we reached out to.

Wont they give you any?😐

Good on em :afro:

Maybe they've got arthritis. And an insane craving for Monster Munch.

Maybe mivvi needs some, he seems to have a low tolerance level.

Andrew Marr's stupid crooked mouth.
And his stupid big ears.

Didn't he have a stroke or something? No excuse for the ears though, blame the parents maybe.

He did indeed.

He had that mouth before his stroke.

People, typically tradespeople who don’t LISTEN. Ie I want the radiator there so they put it somewhere else as it’s easier or I want a door that seals so the build what again is easier. Also the ******* easy route NOT what I ask for and we have to get them back to do it all again. It’s like dealing with my son.

People posting stuff on Faceache starting with 'when'

When you want to show off about something and thinly disguise it by making it look like a 'thing'

Who the hell only eats a single crumpet?

He also had a "lovechild" and subsequent super-injunction.

Precisely, if there’s just 1 crumpet left I’ll stick a slice of bread in too, can’t have half the heat of the toaster going to waste 👍

People beginning a sentence with ‘So...’
��

Erm....
So when you two read this sentence, it gets both of you annoyed in two words? Cool.

Might be a Warburtons Giant One...

‘... was a thing’

Lazy and doublespeak in action showing that people have limited verbal power, or that they think they sound cute, which it doesn’t. It’s baby talk to me, just like ‘my bad’

Eg.
‘Before Covid was a thing’
‘You mean before a Covid caused a pandemic?’

Oh dear, Chris Evans latest little familial video skit to plug his radio show. His wife doesn’t look like an annoying, fluffy, middle class prat in the slightest......

Plenty eat three.

Fecking Four Tops.:afro:

I went into the freezer earlier and found three bottles of Heineken that I must've put in last night :hmph:

Nah. I don't really say Can I have very much either.

I live in Chile.

I point and grunt like the rest of them.

Yep, it should be more for the older with the medical benefits.

It helps with the arthritis I'm told.

Most of my family smoke it here. I don't due to some dodgy past times in Amsterdam.

It is not legal here, but it has been decriminalised.

Means the rozzers can nab you for it, or for having a few pots growing, just because they want to be c nuts.

Petard hoisted? :D

Fair enough. I suppose being in Chile you don’t hear our language being butchered and bastardised to the low wit of our American cousins quite so much then.

We have an integrated freezer and the door alignment seems to have just suddenly wandered off of its own accord so now the door won't shut (first noticed on Friday night when I'd had a few and thought it was just one of those things that seems to happen when you're a bit drunk).
The hinges are big complicated things and I can't see any means of adjustment.
Sorry it's a bit boring but it's really annoyed me.

I don't think it's boring at all mate, I had something similar when I had an integrated fridge. I figured it was caused by having too much milk weighing down the door, I removed that and adjusted the hinges. I reckon there might be some guidance on YouTube. Worth a go anyway.

Hit it with a hammer.

Cheers for that, I'll have a look later. Luckily we've got spare freezer capacity elsewhere so it's not a major problem.

I can't - me ammer's broke as well.

Physician heal thy self

Bubbles in my radiator after a brief 5 mile jaunt yesterday.
Almost a sure sign of a cylinder gasket failure - buying a tester for dissolved CO2 to confirm.
Just as I had run out of things to do whilst pandemic'ed - bugger.

I can today inform you that warburtons do packets of 6. This is because I went to do the shopping today planning to get some packets of 9 and to my annoyance they were in 6's

******* dishwasher's packed up without any warning since last night. The stupid mechanical twat.

Not a nice way to talk about the wife.

Watching Tenable. Yes I am that bored.
Two of the answers for the most popular vegetables were peppers and tomatoes. Both are fruits.

Hit it with another hammer.

This thread is turning into the, "There's a hole in my bucket" song...

the same thing happened ours because the pipes from the sink were blocked and the water was backing up in to the dishwasher. it fkin stank. Got it fixed today - £90 well spent. i dont have to manually wash the dishes any more.
Yes, i actually pull my weight around the house, no need to compliment me. ;)

Then fix it, dear Hedgey dear Hedgey dear Hedgey, then fix it.

LOL. Our principal teaching tool is Oxford University Press - American English File.


T'is very good indeed.

With Jenny Zelinski and her adventures?

With what shall I fix it dear Petey, dear Petey, with what?

With a hammer dear hedgey, dear hedgey dear hedgey, with a hammer.

I think we should quit there Pete, before we start to annoy ourselves!

Yodel lying to me. Told me they delivered my wine to my door, when I was in and said they took my signature.
Then hanging up on me when I rang up to complain.
Arseholes.

Yes. I love those videos.

"Coming down the track"

F*ck off

Delivered mine to a garden centre (which does act as a delivery point) but....

...which isn’t open.
