Someone on here gave his ST to his mum on Sunday so she could go to the match,

Seemed like a wonderful act at the time.

One thing we can be certain of is that we all have mothers, and 98% of us (Eminem and a few others aside) love and cherish them but twatty social media users have to go further and bang on about 'their rock' and 'inspiration'

You love your mum, brilliant, that's as it should be, but give her a call, buy her card or send her flowers - putting those messages on FB is done as much (if not more) for your own benefit to gain the usual sycophantic attention as it is for your mother.

Both my sisters do a tribute to my dad who died 6 years ago - on his birthday, his anniversary, fathers day and more recently Christmas. They try to out do each other with longer poems and comments. Neither I or my 2 brothers do anything of the sort just remember him in own way.

Such tributes are not exclusive to my sisters either.

Not in the middle of the day in a busy high street, letting her 2 boys stand and piss against a wall outside the bank. There are plenty of toilets you have taken them to you lazy bitch.

Makes you want to go round and pee against the side of their house in retaliation.

'So Called Islamic State'.

I think by now we all know who or what Islamic State are. Given the atrocities they have committed I doubt they are concerned that the supposedly unbiased establishment media stick 'so called' in front of their name or try to confuse them with Liam Daish.

After all, nobody goes around saying 'so called George Osborne' do they?

In 1974 I was waiting on the tarmac, not inside the terminal, with everyone else waiting for a plane to arrive to take us from Sofia to Varna. I vividly remember a woman holding her kid up over a bin while a stream of piss came out for ages. Bulgarian chav scum.

But they did give us free sweets on the plane in case it crashed fair play.

I have been to Bulgaria a lot and this is common practice. Parents letting their kids piss all over the place in public. They rarely even try to find a wall, a few just let them do it in the middle of the street.

I agree that it is stupid, but there is actually a reason for this. It's basically because there have been a number of different terrorist organisations each with different affiliations, it isn't always clear exactly what it refers to.

Been off work for 3 weeks and we've moved to the office directly one floor below and each floor follows the same plan. I went to the toilet for the first time to take a dump and notice that there are no urinals and the toilet looks unusually flash, but thought nothing of it. When I come out of the cubicle my heart sinks when I see a female looking in the mirror who reminds me that this is the lady's toilet. I try to explain that the men's toilet is in the corresponding area on the floor above, but I just got a disapproving look in return. Now I have someone who thinks I'm a weirdo/perv/borderline sex offender

I've been on crutches after a skiing mishap. London commuters are easily the most inconsiderate shits. I've had people push past me, kick my crutches, rush on to trains to get a seat before me. I get it, I'm an idiot for having an accident, but it would be nice if people actually showed just a hint of compassion.

And then there's the issue of uneven pavements. I now know how elderly/permanently disabled folks suffer with the conditions of our roads and paths. They're in a terrible state and make walking on them when you need to support yourself very difficult.

Agree with you. They are so bright you get blinded if you drive over a hill and there is one at the top. You can't seen the night sky and your night vision is ****ed when you drop out a street light zone. Hate them. Why cant they have made them LED but a nice orange glow like the old ones?

I hate the bastards, we have two outside the house. Bizarrely half the estate has the old kind, so they must have just started replacing them with these poxy things.

Coming to a main road near you soon, LED road marker lights. Nowhere near as annoying as the lampposts, but you get a horrible distraction in your rear view mirror as you drive along. On the plus side though, if you turn your headlights to sidelights its like driving in some virtual world.

3) Being in Ikea - at all
4) Finding out there is a "list" while in Ikea
5) Seeing a massive queue for the tokens to get an Ikea ice-cream
6) Paying for parking at Ikea
7) Ikea

1: Look up your item on the Ikea website. look for the page where it tells what area to pick the item up from. NEVER VISIT IKEA ON A WHIM !
2: Why waste 10 minutes trying to park as close to the store as possible. Quicker to park further away and walk into the store.
3: Enter the store via the Exit - closer to where they store the goods.
4: Pay at the self service tills. Nobody wants to use them.

IKEA is not a day-out. Get in - Get out !

We have one right outside our house.

Its like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' at my bedroom window.

Whilst at University some years ago........we had a street light right outside the bedroom window and only a sheet for a curtain.

It took at least six shots with a mates air rifle to shoot the light out.......

And then the bloody council came around the following week and fixed the bastard.

People who advertise their old football shirts that have their own name on the back for sale on ebay. Just stop it, it's not much better than offering to sell your used underwear

Some people pay good money for used underwear.

Who in God's world would ever stump up cash for "used panties", which I am given to understand are freely available for sale? :eek:

It pisses me off that Mrs. JJ generally likes to follow the arrows on the floor, which are clearly only intended to make sure you don't miss a single nook or cranny in what they have for sale.

F*ckwits queuing to get a sub from Subway that don't even have the manners to say please and thank you when asked what they would like. I hope they detest olives and get a random one hidden in there that they haven't spotted until they've bitten down on it, ruining the taste of the rest of it. Now that's annoying too!
