I didn't know that Mr W has the same thought processes as me. Don't know whether to be pleased or dismayed...

I think I've posted that in this thread at least twice now. I've moaned at the BBC as well but just got bland statements back. Football, Winter Olympics, Rugby. Its in all of them. :veryangry:veryangry:veryangry:veryangry:veryangry :veryangry

However my BIG annoyance of the day is why cant a mobile phone simply work on a journey from the south to London without dropping ALL THE ******* TIME!!! I can go to Norway and take calls whilst travelling through a bloody great mountain but not on the busiest line in the south east. More :veryangry:veryangry

Hand-driers in public toilets that are really bloody loud. And people who use them for ages, deafening everyone for a needlessly long time. Annoying.

Homosexuality isn't a joke - Did you not read the Brighton chanting thread? :supergrin:

People that bang on about the 'right' way to make a cup of tea. Yes, everybody has heard that you shouldn't use boiling water because it affects the leaves, but you drink PG tips with 4 sugars and more milk than water, so f**k off you annoying c**t!

People on the train talking on their phone.

Not sure if its the case on your trains but quite a few UK trains have a thin metallic coating between the window panes designed to cut out inbound UV type radiation. Unfortunately it also cuts down mobile phone signals one hell of a lot! It looks like the rail companies are going the way of wifi rather than trying to boost the phone signal?

Amen. They and their phones should be posted through the tiny opening windows.

Celebrity Ghost Hunt LIVE

What a crock of shite

Yeah, and with a title like that, I bet you thought it would be grade A viewing

:supergrin:

Even the medium sounds like she'd be happy to be in the next series of TOWIE

The dumbing down of the BBC YET AGAIN.
Headlines from Todays new look BBC :
"Mary Berry reveals her love for this ingredient"
"British superstar taking bodybuilding world by storm"
"I lost my job because of a simple social media post"
"Stunning images of the world around us"
UK Pensioner investigated for NAZI war crimes"

Are they trying to compete with the clickbait adverts!!!!!

Bosses.

People who ask you a question and then interrupt you when you’re barely half-way through the answer.

People who ask questions who don’t give a shite about your opinion and just do it as an excuse to tell them yours.

Quiet carriages create a nice wall of mobile free zones and there is a certain etiquette that means you should say what's needed and get off asap in the other carriages. I certainly don't want a Dom Jolly conversation taking place with everyone listening. If they banned an blocked them that that would work as well as the call wouldn't even get through, but the frustration when your bank calls on a potential fraud, that drops every 30 seconds, that then has to start again with the security questions and it drops again is infuriating.

People who ask you a question, you give an answer and then they ask pretty much the same question again.

They try to rinse and repeat until they get the answer they want....and it’s not just teenagers who do this.

On an casino boat, in the Atlantic, three miles off the coast of South Carolina or down a salt mine in Poland - my phone works fine. In my back garden in West Wickham - no chance!:supergrin:

The former.

Wish they would all go out of business.

If only killed some off in the programme to make the ghosts.

Worth the licence fee alone to see the cast of Towie executed.

Inadequate project managers. Who serve no purpose whatsoever other than to set unrealistic deadlines, continually.

Micro management.

'And here is Laura Kuenssberg's verdict....'

Who gives a shit? Brains of a rocking horse.

the fact that I only know one band on the latest announcement for acts on the IOW festival and even that's a tribute act :(
The Wombats, Rak-Su, Sigrid, Hot Dub Time Machine, Hurts, The Pretty Things, LANY, Bang Bang Romeo, Hudson Taylor, Kara Marni, SG Lewis, Gerry Cinnamon, Wild Front, Paradisia, Slydigs, Mullally & T.Rextasy

BBC London trail: 'I love How Londoners are honest'. Really? A higher percentage of shithead tricksters than anywhere else in the country.

O2 needing 7 days to unlock a Samsung mobile at a cost of £15,when EE can do it in minutes for £9:wallbash::wallbash:

A "mate" you haven't spoken to in 3 years calling to console you because he read on Facebook that your (soon to be ex-) wife just got engaged.

The guy who rides a quad bike around Penge/Anerley at 2-3am in the morning on a weeknight with an exhaust that sounds louder than a jumbo jet.

Being told not to call myself a sucker by someone who has taken me for an absolute ride.

And Music magpie for selling me said unlocked phone that wasn't actually unlocked:wallbash::wallbash:

Amen to this! Dealing with some shockers these days.
Letterboxes

Sorry

Sorry again.

Headaches that last for 4 days.

Was this the ex wife?

:D

Get that checked out mate

Logarithms.

What's the ******* point?

That one fly that keeps on landing and buzzing around you on holiday Sun beds!

Possibly

Aren't those Migraines ?

Actually Jim it wasn't too bad. I described it in a different word, to which my dear old mum said that I didn't look like a cigarette.;)

Algorithms for dyslexics?

You are of the generation that grew up with pocket calculators. Log tables were invaluable for doing maths in the days before electronic aids in the classroom.

Masterchef not appreciating slow cooking.

Waking up with a hangover, without having drunk any alcohol

A 5 hour slow braised shoulder of lamb would make for a rather long show.

My garage. Cant even open the door fully or get in it. When eBay goes wrong.

That dildo is HUGE !

Assault course darts.

:D

Darts is but a dream. Need a shed.

Commercial exercise bike innit :)

Did you get that door from Marmyte Keith on the cheap?

I assumed it was the periscope from the Red October.

Theyre all like that. Cheap crap. That one got replaced when i sawed the top off instead of the bottom by mistake. That annoyed the wife for ages until i found another one. Not sure it what dimension 'that will come in handy' but i might need to skip it now.

I got that last night. Was free but had to drive to the west of scotland to get it. Too scared to plug it in in case it electrocutes me.

London Bridge. RIP.

The advert with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shaving his chest in the shower. What has the world come to?

Just not being able to find any Bondex Satin Finish varnish out there? It's like someone's hoarding it all?

:D

Just take as much as you want mate :)

Beware the exploding tins though.

Jar Jar Binks

Getting lumbered with dry socket in not one but two now removed teeth. Bloody painful especially when the dentist's oh so helpful advice is salt mouth rinses (no puns please :) ) Sodding painful it is.

Getting stiffed for a ton by Railway companies to travel to Liverpool when the guy said, if you’d booked it a couple of days ago (I couldn’t as I’m traveling to pick up a new car for the family) it would have cost you £26 FFS. Why rub it in, cunner.

Seemingly everything today. Among them...

Fancying some scrambled eggs for breakfast, getting the box of 6 eggs out of the fridge to note their best before date was a mere 10 days ago.

Then ringing the Mrs who happens to be in town and asking her to pick some eggs up on her way back. Her - ‘There’s some in the fridge’. Me - ‘Yeah but they’re 10 days out of date’. Her - ‘You’re joking’. Me - ‘Yeah sure am, thought I’d just waste 5 minutes of my life joking about eggs being out of date.’ FFS

Then my Mrs managing to bang soft close cupboard doors. Jesus fvcking wept

Paul is there anything in there which is actually of any use to you? :)

He could with spending an hour or two on the exercise bike



:supergrin:

Which means me having to spend 3-4 hours then :(

:D and me mate

Although a week or two off the booze would do the same thing

The Chinese. Possibly the rudest and most arrogant group of people I’ve ever encountered whilst abroad.

May well have still been OK. Should be ok for a couple of weeks, particularly in a fridge..

The way to tell is to drop the egg into a bowl of water. If it sinks and stands upright at the bottom, it's still ok. If it rises to the top, it is stale (giving off gas to make it float), so bin it.

People slagging my home City, when they don't live in it.

Just bung them in a bowl of water, if they sink they’ll be fine to eat.

[Edit: beaten to it by davech.]

I put the varnish for sale last night. £3 a tin.

Just sold a tin.

:D

Cheeky feck.

Just done it mate. That and the multigym are saving me a fortune in gym fees. They were the only machines I used in the pure gym.

That does not answer my question Mr Elgin. It establishes that the varnish is of no use to you (and also at this rate you have 20 years before you offload the lot :)) but lets go through, item by item what has any value to you whatsoever (other than that of a small monetary one)?

I am expecting a long post in return as you list each item and what possesed you to buy them in the first place.

Lets start with the varnish, what possessed you? :)

This assumes we are only talking about one garage.

Must admit I had a slight chuckle as the happy customer walked away with his tin :D The negotiations were torturous, like the pirate memory game sketch on little Britain, minus Margaret.
'Have you got any woodstain, in a light shade'?
Finds woodstain, right at the back.
'Ash'?
'Maybe, lighter'
'Clear?'
'I'll take the ash'

It may have started out a garage elgin, but that's not a garage any more. Definitely not fit for purpose.
You did apply for a change of use permission from the local council, yes?

There is another garage? :eek:

and :supergrin:

Lets concentrate on this garage for now and let us all have a list of what gems are contained within.

It's now a gym as the advertising clearly shows. Already had some enquiries from some of the neighbours. None of the fit ones though sadly.

Yeah I know all that but I was in a foul mood so couldn’t be arsed and actually made sure I smashed every one when I chucked them in the bin.

Took a magnifying glass to read it, but that green spray in the corner with SkRiPAl written on it, and Must Be Used Before March 5th. What exactly does it, or did it contain. Just that I never heard of it before.;)

There's actually a double garage in South Wales containing many items that will one day become antiques :D And the loft isn't exactly empty either. Always been a bit more of a buyer than a seller. Still, that tin is a start.

:D

To save space, i transferred one half empty container of screenwash into another one.

Then realised the car was out of screenwash.

Feng shui it ain't.

So to sum up you are an Ebayoholic hoarder :D

btw do you have headlamp bulbs for a Corsa ?

Which model of Corsa? :D

Eggs shouldn't be kept in the fridge.

Russians are worse.(Sorry Elgin)

:wallbash:

Still logarithms.

Just not getting it.

Math wankers.

The Chinese middle class. Have come across swathes of them during my trip to Japan and I think they must be the most arrogant, rude and obnoxious group I have ever seen. Shoving past you, only interested in photo opportunities, snorting their phlegm really loudly and like locusts when it comes to buffet breakfasts. Money doesn’t buy taste or class.

So..... why do they put egg racks on fridge doors??

This is true , unless it is 30oC outside in which case temporary storage is allowed.

Marketing.

No idea really as the door of the fridge is the worst place for them. If you do keep them in the fridge they should be near the back. In the door they are subject to temp changes.

The ******* little bits of plastic you have to remove from your mail/ketchup/mayo etc containers before you can squeeze/pour that shit out.

American kids shows

Not being handsome any more

Yet to be convinced by Scotland or the Scots by the way.

Why do the Irish seem so much nicer but seem to have a lot more reason to hate us?

WTF is that all about?

What reason do they have to hate the English ... We were just the first victims of the Norman yoke who then invaded others!
What benefits did the average poor Englishman take from it?

Probably the same reason they put ashtrays in cars.

[as an aside, does anyone else, on seeing a redundant ashtray in the arm of your seat, wonder just how old the plane is?]

You've been annoyed a long time then:sob::sob:
