Organised firework displays . . . Ooohhh! Give me hot dogs in the back garden and 15 attempts to set of a rocket.

Indeed. I'd rather have a few crappy at home fireworks and a good buffet than c having to contend with crowds and crowds of wankers

I’m another one who can’t handle one of the chemicals used in many products as part of the fragrance and only use non scented household products.

Bournemouth winning in the 92nd minute.

Our neighbours are having a display in their garden, about 3 metres from our back door.

Meanwhile the traffic from the public display in Brockwell Park (whose PA is audible) is backed up down the street due to road works so delivery drivers are riding their scooters down the pavement.

I feel like a nervous greyhound in need of sedatives.

Miracast issues on my TV. One day it works then next bugger all. Wasted the best part of three hours buggering about to no avail. To really compound it, filled out the LG email guff with all the details and it failed to submit, with all words lost.....nearly a Turkish moment with the Laptop i can tell you !!

people constantly whinging with benefit of hindsight .... build a bridge

Charlotte Crosby - apparently she was/is on Geordie Shore,another oxygen stealer

You had me after Bournemouth.

The piece of work pushing a pram,three kids in tow,puffing on a cigarette in North End.

Predictive text makes me seem like a hidiuos hidiot!!!

People who are paid for their opinion not knowing anything about the subject, or doing any research into it.

Specifically Palace and us being “dreadful at the moment”.

Meaningful events being marked on different dates for the sake of calendars and capital.

People who say/write contrary things for the sake of being controversial.

I appreciate that, by getting annoyed, I have satisfied their aim, but I can't help it at the moment.

The fact that this thread has become a monologue.

marketers, advertisers, sales people, recruiters, estate agents and the John Lewis christmas advert.

God-bothering evangelists in crowds singing outside my window and playing music on a Sunday. Probably wake the wife up, who will insist I do something more productive than the BBS.

The "word of the week" - conflate.

Fecking hell, there is about 300 of them. Dont they ever wonder whether God would like a lie in, too on Sundays. They even have a van with megaphones. And they are marching up the road contrary to the direction of the traffic. The next road along is full of universities, they could go there and not disturb anyone.

And the wife is up. And they have moved on to bother someone else.

That **** Paul Martin on daytime tv is everywhere. Mr bleeding nice but dim.

Just what skill set, other than a soft voice and unshaven chin in Laura Ashley ‘honeysuckle black’, has this utter tosser ever brought to our screens?

My hatred is irrational, but it’s beyond logic.

That's interesting, I never liked smelly stuff before all this kicked off even as a teenager I would wait outside places like the big Boots that has all the make up when my wife went in and all new perfumes need to be vetted before applying light amounts :D. I reckon 50% of the people I have spoken to don't like it either.

I went through a period of actually trying aftershaves people bought and within 10 mins I am back in the shower washing the shit off

Losing........................again!

This is fecking annoying at the moment

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/480x270/p05394v7.jpg

Facebook/Instagram posters trying to make their photo some kind of meme for Buzzfeed by starting their post with 'When you...' and then posting a photo of them doing something wacky or in most cases boring or completely uninteresting.

Noise pollution

People treating anecdotes as typical.

Circumventing the swear filter is bad.

Touts.

And you get called a prick for doing it.....

Exactly. Blind is a sweary prick.

I have reported it, don't want no double standards on the BBS now, do we.

We don't want grasses either:angel:

Perish the thought…

Mate's................
Mate's who borrow a tool,in this case a torque wrench that cost over £50 and then deny borrowing it:jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit: :jerkit::jerkit:

My fault i spose,forgot to ask for it back after a week,then forget i lent it out and when i need it later the wanker denies borrowing it.You feckin wanker,i know full well you borrowed it to torque your rear wheel nuts.
Then other mates get the hump when you don't want to lend other tools:frown::frown:
Pisses me right off:wallbash::wallbash:

Building on this, a friend who borrows money, doesn't pay it back.

Then asks to borrow more.

Have some shame.

No you don't. Asking someone not to be a prick is entirely different to calling them a prick. :)

More importantly, I'm pleased your temporary amnesia would seem to have cleared up.

Do you spend your whole life pretending you're in The Sweeney?

Nope I re read that post you're refering to and i still don;t understand what you're going on about.

:D

Are your mob allowed to lend money?

Yup.

Large loans for business ventures, there needs to be shared risk of equal proportions, with no interest involved.

In this instance my rather immature friend had spent all his money and was still a week from payday.

I couldn't begrudge him food, so lent him a tenner. He then needed a further 3 quid, so I lent him that too.

Then he wanted to buy Big Mac's, I told him to do one unless he was buying fillet o fish.

I'm still waiting for my £13 quid back.

Tom Cleverley.

Ffs.

Misdirected acts of thank you from 4x4s when driving at night and you let them through - by flashing full beam halogens at eye level.

one of the most overrated players of recent times

yep blinding

Letters.

I hate them. The minute I see them lying there through the window of my porch door my heart sinks. Never good news is it? Just either bills, people trying to find more ways to extract more money from you or other crap like appointments or pointless forms to be filled in that eats away at your already meagre leisure time. Being an adult is crap.

Think of someone you haven't seen or spoken with for a while, write them a nice letter and post it. Start spreading the love and it will come back to you :love:

I think I'm more of a Bodie.

EFA

Irish mick , the Irish street cleaner I chat to every morning :
Friday : “ how will the palace do at the weekend ?”
Monday : “ what happened to the palace then !”
:frown:

A bloke on my Faceache, who is a Chelsea fan, who gives it out when Chelsea win, but is never seen when they lose.

Feck off! :D

I guarantee you I'll get an email from said person saying, 'why didn't you just email me you stoopid prat?'

Used to love writing a good letter...

Do it again and then add to the letter, please write me a reply and write another to a friend. Sounds like a nice idea...i'd try it but the Spanish postal service being what it is the letter might not arrive until February....2025.

:veryangryMOTD goal highlights. Has someone got a new iPhone at the BBC and keeps sticking stupid childish emojis all over the place. I don't want my TVs to look like an 11year olds instagram account thanks ******* tossers

Gamification

Now you see, that's exactly why you don't receive any nice letters ;)

Has Baldy got a new job ?

I have one of those. I make sure to give him a public nudge when Chelsea lose.

I think I must have posted something about Palace about three times ever on facebook. One of them was getting to the cup final, another arranging cup final beers, and perhaps something about Zaha.

I dug him out today when he was giving it large about Hus Manure mates not being online.....I asked if he was being ironic. He didn't get it.

My one posted a Chelsea badge up and a picture of Jorge Valdivia / Chilean player that plays for his other love Colo Colo (The Chelsea/Man Utd) of Chile.

I commended Valdivia for getting a dream transfer to Chelsea this late on in his career.

Needless to say Chelsea beat Man Utd and Colo Colo went top of the Chilean table yesterday.

I pity how mindless these twonks are. They make me feel good about myself though.

The same twat is quite good at reposting fake news, especially anything related to Brexit, bad muslims and the like. I tell him he is an immigrant himself that has lived in Chile for 20 years and is from a family of immigrants. Over his head, I am afraid. I am just wasting my typing on him. I also point out every bit of fake news he posts, and ask him to consider things a little before sharing shite.

Having to sift through the Sunday papers to find all the rubbish to throw away.Things like adverts and a section on Telecommunications in South America.And of course the sports pages if Palace have lost again.....

You dont have to do that TBF. Buying the Sunday papers is not an obligation.

I wouldnt bothr if Palace have lost. Or I would stick to buying the one paper that had a supplement that I liked.

I'm thinking of investing in telecoms in South America, so it was actually very useful.

Schools that send out half the information that you need, Like where to meet, and at what time.

Very true.

The common issue we had with our previous school was which version of the information to follow, 1) the one on the school website or 2) the info our child has told us the teacher said in class.

Invariably if you followed what your child said, then the teacher would roll their eyes and say ‘oh, didn’t you see what’s written on the website’?

But if you followed the website info for the next event, the very same teacher would roll her eyes again and say ‘but didn’t your son tell you the information? You can’t rely on the website because that’s often out of date’.

When I replied, I followed the website info because that’s what you told us to do last time....she walked off in a huff.

Funnily enough, I find primary school teachers don’t like anyone, including parents, answering them back and pointing out their own inconsistencies!

If they can blame the kids, they will.

:)

:D

Papers are delivered at the weekend and then read in bed or the conservatory.Blimey,you have been away a long time Pete!

By not buying the Sunday papers, I can afford a shop/restaurant bought lunch every day of the week.

Only if you cook it yourself.

I thought newspapers were dead. I read the BBS in bed on a Sunday, until I am told to move my arse and do something dullish.

Newspapers here are full of self-serving politics, lack of quality journalism, poor football news, and adverts.

The papers are owned by the same families that supply the commercial industries, politicians, and banks.

Their only use is to wrap glasses in, clean windows and start the barbecue.

Think of how the Evening Standard only appeals to people living in posh areas. That kind of thing.

We don’t have a newspaper during the week anymore.

But do usually read a chunky one on Sundays. By not having it delivered, we’re now free to buy whichever one takes our fancy each week, as our newsagents is nearby.

It takes us a couple of days to get through it and then it’s ‘recycled’ by lining the rabbit hutch!

The Channel islands!

Fireworks on the 6th

Fireworks on new year!

Especially on the Sydney Harbour Bridge...look at us were first on the timezones..big ******* Whoop!

posting on the wrong thread!

Celebrating/commemorating anything on a day other than the one intended.

Amazon Echo responding every time someone says “Alexa” in the advert for it on tv.

Mmm Mother's Day or St Valentine's.

The latter I try and be at a beautiful beach for that anyway. The former, horrid packed restaurants for guilty people to take their mums out once a year.

I prefer to cook something nice at home, and go out the following Sunday when we can have our pick of restaurants, mostly empty.

Grandad, that TV is really loud!

Well Feckk off then you little tossppot!

Cantankerous old shit...

My wife insisted on sitting me down to watch the new Nigella series last night. She seems like an absolutely delightful lady I must say but oh, I had forgotten how much I loathe her cooking shows. The soft focus blurry shots of her gently folding whisked egg whites into a waffle batter. The dreadfully naff '1980s best of jazz-style TV themes' background music. The smug, coquettish grinning to herself while she stirs something on the hob. And the piece de resistance, the fake dinner party scene with the painfully middle class extras who dutifully swoon over whatever concoction she is serving up.

I had to exit the room in disgust last night when she decided to show us how to make a toasted sandwich. As I say, a delightful lady I'm sure but I think her cooking show has had its day.

I echo all this because the Same happened to me ... and it wasn’t a toasted sandwich it was fried !

Especially if Palace are away the next day and you couldn't be bothered to stay up till midnight to 'see the New Year in', only to be woken up at midnight anyway!

Hypocritical politicians who rail against fee paying schools then send their children to one.Abbott and Harman the obvious ones.Disgraceful.....

You need a proscribed day to show your love for the significant women in your life? Shame on you :supergrin:

:lux: If you buy your Sunday roast and a few beers in Waitrose you get your Sunday paper free.

If you buy your Sunday roast and a few beers in Waitrose, you could save money by eating out and buying a paper.

Back to the thread.....

Forgetfulness.

This morning I got halfway down the road and remembered I'd forgotten something so went back to the house to discover I'd actually forgotten that I remembered it.

No doubt later I'll remember that I've forgotten something else.

People who make no effort to teach their children manners or courtesy.

Thank you

You're welcome.

Presumably 'proscribed' means something different down there?

People who walk in roads when there is a perfectly good pavement especially at this time of year when it's a lot darker.

People who refer to their wife/girlfriend as their 'other half'.Pathetic.Get a life...

Better half is worst

Round avoiders.Verminous scum imo....

Where did I say that?

In fact I said the opposite. I was countering the argument of celebrating Special Days away from the day itself. Thus, I don't tend to celebrate Mother's day on the day itself at all. The complete opposite of what you have posted. And Valentines, which is important to us for personal reason, we are usually on our summer holidays.

Your comment is completely erroneous. Shame on you.
