I think you just miss home.

Ever thought they are thinking the same thing as you?

Indicators on cars not being uniformly up for left and down for right, or vice versa.

Cars, like BMWs, that aren't fitted with indicators.

Depends on which side of the wheel they are on, its not rocket science to get it right.

It would seem that about 50% of cars in London suffer from this issue.
Either that, or the drivers are just c*nts.

Wichever side they are on, to indicate you move them in the same direction as you’re turning the steering wheel, it’s totally intuitive to most. :supergrin:

My 6yo son pointed out whilst on the M25 that all the drivers acting like idiots drove BMWs. I'd never thought about it myself.


Fed up with lazy or perhaps ignorant bastards at work who, despite the recycling bins being next door, persistently put milk bottles etc in the general waste. No wonder this planet's ****ed.

They are only for overtaking 5 cars in a row

Amazon delivery blokes who ring the bell twice then immediately hammer on the door with their fist. Seems they all do it!

:embarass:

You are lucky.
9 time out of 10 they don't bother with the doorbell, they either chuck the parcel over the fence or leave their note and piss off.

Use a shop.

Stupid ******* people and their stupid ******* hashtags. A mate of mine posted that he was looking forward to taking his kids to see the Paddington 2 film that will be in cinemas soon. He finished his post with '#itsoutonnovember10th'

FFS.

Your mate really doesn't understand hashtags

Agree couldn't believe it when a woman at work did this earlier this week

1930’s electrics.

He really doesn't understand many things.

....having travelled to China and Las Vegas, it’s hard to view our recycling efforts as worthwhile.

We do still do it though.

The Jack Wilshire hype.

Sad but true.

A very intelligent American I work with was complaining about the turn indicator on the car he rented when in The UK for this reason. Although he did add that he kept turning the wipers on every time he made a turn. I have to admit to having done that also in a rented car.

Problem solved - I’ll walk in a straight line 👍

Wife and kids are going to a cast and crew screening of that at the weekend. :)

Yep, I can't remember which comedian said it, but there we are washing out our little marmite pots whilst in the USA they're driving huge gas guzzling cars.:(

What if they cut it open and it's purple? Hushed silence?

They might say they didn't know Alice Walker had got a job in a bakery?

Ooh, subtle.

Not that subtle, its a famous book.

Well, it brightens up the Jehovas Witnesses day :angel:

You're just lashing out at everything!

Sorry :love:

'Trespassers on the railway'.
Get the fvck off you idiots.

He's only on loan but people commenting on RLC: Why has he been picked for England? Palace are bottom'

Apparently, it seems that the best time of the day to trespass is just as the evening rush hour commences

:D very good

Bloody tourists. Just so many in town at the moment. Yanks are the worst!

Right-on types with no sense of humour.

Modern day packaging. I just bought my daughter a barbie and once through the Fort Knox main package found that Barbie was strapped in by plastic wires to a Hannibal Lector type extent.

My day . Star wars figure. Plastic cardboard. One rip . Toy yours

The McpfcS thread disappearing. It was great fun.

I think I've discovered a new sport... Drink a bottle and a half of wine at home and start reading the 90+ e-mails I got today at work while I was flying back across the country.

Replaying with what you really think is rather invigorating!

(Monday might be a problem!) :D

I never want to fly in an aeroplane again unless there is a sandy beach and a tropical drink and a warm sea at the other end.

How can they expect someone who is 6' 2" to sit for 3.5 hours in them seats????

I want to drag the airline (this is not a plane issue) designer and economist (who are apparently 5' 6") down to the plane and make him reduce the whole seating/clearance size by an additional 10% and then make him fly from NY to LA and see how they like it!

I have bruises to prove my point!

I had to go through an aborted landing in Toronto last week we were nearly landing the wheels came down then we shot back up again, apparently, only one plane on a runway is a rule....

Yep... landing is the scary bit for many reasons!

Had an aborted take off ones which was not as dramatic... but still disconcerting.

Then when I came back from Toronto to Montreal, Turbalance from start to finish plus 50 German kids playing air guitars and drums all wearing headphones oblivious to my fears of flying :D

How does that work they just put the anchors on?

Moped thieves / acid attackers.

I assume so - and reverse thrusters (sp?).

Apparently a warning light came on... the captain said something like they tapped it, and it came back on.... not very encouraging, but I'm still here!

Did you have to adjust your goggles and scarf ;)

Just my underwear!

English alert... if you tap something, is it taped or tapped?

November 2nd - Christmas music in Costa Coffee
November 3rd - Caffe Nero employees wearing Christmas themed T Shirts

Also music in supermarkets and restaurants - what's the point of it?

Whay happened while I was away? Or was it a case of overmodding again?

tapped

taped would be recorded on cassette.

You always double the p for pronunciation purposes - shopped, stopped.

One vocal and one consonant - double the consonant, generally.

big bigger, swim swimming, shop shopping, run runner etc..

Strangely, does not apply for snow W and it is not often mentioned why.

In those instances I just tell my student's that its because English is very silly.

”Art”-lover.

Grassing faggot.

Like I give a shit.

As much as I do.

So why mention it?

I was curious as to what happened after I left the bbs, as was evident in my post. Bothered not so much.

The same old group of posters ******* up threads again.

If that's the case, you and the other mods will be busy closing a lot of threads

Which ones and which threads?

Dipthongs and glides

That's a great album. Who was it by?

Chris Eubank

:D

I set 'em up...

Is it because the "o" is making an "oh" sound?

Had one of those after only one of the engines fired and the plane veered across the runway. The pilot just taxied round and tried again!

The airline went bust before I had the chance to use my return ticket a week later.

And mine, Back on subject.

******* Dr's annoy me, really annoy me.

We didn't appoint Puel in the summer.

Or Silva or Dyche.

Neither was (really) available to us. Puel was and, for my money, would be a good fit.

Probably, knowing is another example with the same sound.

Knowing is not very common because it is a stative verb (emotional verb) and is not often used in present continuous, like love.

Except when Zaha puts the second in against Brighton, and you say..

'I am fecking loving this'

LOL

Or you call an Indian call centre and that say 'I am thinking that..' while moving their head from side to side.

Shame one of the best threads on the bbs has been derailed.

Back on topic, why do so many retired people choose to do their weekly shop on a saturday? The supermarket is rammed anyway.

Old people stink, not in a horrible way for most but I hate it but of Air Freshener(WTF is that about) Fabreeze (WTF) and or weird kind of perfume but not really and cannot place it.

Those strange people who speak and listen to their smart phones by holding them horizontally.

The truly awful stink of Detergent everywhere I go at the moment. I went "fragrance free" out of necessity but the real heavy downside it that I am now hyper aware of the smells and since it has got colder it has ramped guessing people going back to tumble drying.

What is it with peoples obsession with Fragrance, even a softener that is branded un-Stoppable I mean WTF.

I do not have a clue on the Chemical structure but I do know my office chair and my Bike saddle and brake hoods were my hands go also smell of the detergent, form Gloves and cycle clothing. Its been 12 months since we used a fragranced one and my bike has been, washed and washed and still cannot get shot of it :-(

What is that all about, seeing it more and more?

Size of phones, I need a new one, mainly because I need WiFi calling on EE and all of the ones you can buy sim free that can do it are enormous, more like min tablets than a phone. Add EE as well I got a great deal on Data in Feb, but they won't carry it across to upgrading to a phone. Arseholes

You went Fragrance free ? What does this mean ?

Non-magic magic "e" rule applies there.

Edit: just realised you were explaining something completely different

Stopped using all products that had a fragrance! Which now seems to mean everyone else stinks even more! Honestly you wouldn't believe it. My wife hates it now as well.

I blame the Apprentice

How do you do that then ? Most products have a fragrance don't they ?

With great difficulty at first. All Bio Detergents have a fragrance, essentially because the enzymes stink. Because people use too much Bio and wash @ 30 degrees they ruin their machine. They are not aware of it as they are used to the smell!

So Non Bio you can buy fragrance free, normally sold as an anti allergy product.

Deodorants you can buy fragrance free chemical one or natural ones. Same with Shampoos but mainly natural.

Seriously if you have been without these fragrances for any period of time you become acutely aware how fragranced some people are, not all some.

There was an interesting thing on the BBC and there is a big movement in America to make offices "fragrance Free" Also their is an argument that fragrance should be treated like passive smoking. My wife and I can smell detergents walking past Houses some of these are laid back off the road 30-50 feet.

My kids won’t come in the bedroom on a Sunday morning.

Of course I am only aware because something in some of these things has the ability to make me swell up like ******* balloon and more or less chokes me.

Not me but nearest I could find. Its not just my face its throat hands feet and most painful my sinuses!

Vendy - have you just had an unfortunate radioactive accident and acquired super-sensitive smell as a superhero skill.

That's a bit unlucky - compared to being able to fly or x-ray vision.

Did he walk into a group of Millwall fans last night?

Thanks Peter - this is just one of those things that does not stick for some reason... at 62 I don't think it ever will now!

Because it is already a double u?

****ed if I know what caused it, symptoms started 4-5 years ago. I had actually lost my sense of smell for 18 months! Now I can literally smell the rubber from a fork lift tyre. Not a superpower I really want to be honest its a nightmare.

Tests I am about to undergo are for basically an immune system problem that's causes you immune system to start eating away at you small veins. Starting with your sinuses then your throat, kidneys and lungs. Lovely. Plus loads of other tests on Monday for various blood and lymphphatic cancers, and other lovely diseases none of which you would want nor have heard of to be honest. Its why I am on here so much I am ******* living at work!

Oh, ouch. So sorry to hear all of that.

Have they prescribed anything that helps, at least alleviates? The burning away of the small veins sounds very sensitive, especially up the nose.

Thanks, to be honest I do not think it is any of that I think I would be dead by now just hope I am not in for a surprise :supergrin:

Nothing stops the swelling I have been on max dose of steroids and still been swollen. They cannot really trial anything as some of the treatments are pretty bad in themselves. What pisses me off is the long list of NHS and Private Dr's I have seen I totted it up if I include all the dentistry getting on for 20k in 3 years, its only really now that I am having some decent tests done. Arseholes

I am old, but don't smell of any of the above, just good old fashioned sweat and B,O,
