Shit firm of solicitors (JMW in this case:wallbash:)That my insurer's passed my accident on to.Nearly 3 years have passed since being knocked of my motorbike and the fella admitted liability straight away and they are still fecking me about while their costs spiral.Utter dog shit wankers:jerkit:

But that's ok, because lots of other people do it too. ;)

Are you sure you were in a gym?

EFA

If I wanted to work in a shop, I would. :vader:

Stav calls it a gym.......

:D

After working with the general public for 3 days this week, I can confirm that, "There's nowt so queer as folk".

Do people think they are being cool or hard by making snide or bitching remarks to people trying to help them just because they got out of bed on the wrong side?

And I should add that this pretty much seems an exclusive trait of an older generation.

Or just golf fans.

I don't disagree... there are some right a-hole golf fans, even sober ones. But many years ago I worked on a petrol station project where we were actually giving away free petrol to the people coming in to validate our product... We still got treated like crap by quite a few "patrons".

And I don't think this is an exclusively American trait.

Just glad that 99% of my working life I never had to deal with the public.

Being old

You’re 51 mate, not 91

True but when i listen to my teenage daugthers I feel anicent😁

Dont listen to them, works for me.

Alright . I'll bite. What's it mean now .

What's this? Which bank?

What does it mean?

Yes!, and then after that from the options "Cash Only", or "Cash With Receipt" you select Cash Only and the next screen asks if you would like a receipt.

:wallbash:

In Latin it means to kill 1 in 10 soldiers in a unit; in English it has the meaning you are probably thinking of.

On the subject of word meanings and things that annoy you;

People who use the word ignorant to describe someone who is ignoring them.

I think it is a Northern thing.

Reduce by 10.

Lol

Reduce by 10% surely :D

You are Maz and I claim my $5:supergrin:

As in he was right?

::lux:

Of course I left out% and as we know you are never wrong, and even when you are your not.

‘Centimate’ never caught on did it? Or millimate

Sorry Maz that should be you're.

People who walk along on the wrong side of a road...as in not toward cars, but with their back to them.

We need a universal sign to tell them. Trouble is, they won't see it as they're facing the wrong way.

yep it was a 10% reduction as a Roman cohort was 80 men and would lose 8 men if decimated

That was a vital omission; not unlike claiming that 20-10 = 1, and then whingeing that you left out the 0 when people say no it’s not.

I had to hand over ID and money at the door.
Hang on a min......

Same - car pranged whilst parked, I was away at the time, neighbour admitted liability. My insurance company told me to use their partner law firm to avoid losing my no claims.

This has now been going on for 9 months - we both keep getting letters threatening to go to county court and saying we need to be witnesses (how can I be a witness when I wasn't even there?). When we complain about the letters they say they are standard letters that they can't amend and we should ignore them.

The other side's insurers quite rightly won't agree to the costs being claimed for a small bit of bumper damage (£2,500) and a hire car for a week. They are claiming £125 a day for a bog standard Corsa which I didn't even need. They are all crooks.

Total bollox.Managed to get hold of someone today(fifth attempt)to be told the other insurer won't provide the house number of the fella that hit me.This is now going to court.Was told this will drag on for at least another 6 months:veryangry

Mums pushing prams who stand at the side whilst pushing it.
Why do you need to take up twice the space?

Sol Bank and Cajamar, both their machines charge for withdrawals and checking you balance.

Arseholes that sit on the outside seat of a train and put their bag on the window seat.
C*nts.

Make your mind up.

One slip of the tongue and your e in the shit

Arsehole c*nts then.

That arsehole Ben Shephard.
The c*nt gets everywhere.

I'm afraid I'm partly one of those. The new Thameslink trains have so little room for your legs on the window seat that if I sit there I get arthritis in my hip so I have to sit on the aisle. I don't put my bag on the window seat though.

There's no 'partly' about it...you're one or the other.
:)

Fair enough although I think the ire should be directed at the designers of the trains. Take up half the leg room with a metal tube that's meant to provide heat but does nothing of the sort - provides a bit of warmth under London but as soon as you are out into the sticks the heat disappears completely. Hopeless design.

Also, that a weird sort of arthritis.

I wasn't including the likes of you who suffer from arthritis - must be awful.
However, there's an awful lot of non-arthritic passengers who take the piss.

Not very wierd - if you have to sit with your legs at a stupid angle for any length of time your hip joints become inflamed (if you are prone to arthritis).

Train passengers around the Brighton and Hove area wearing face masks.

Arsehole c*nt ponces.

Banks in Spain really take the piss, considering how much we paid to bail them out.

I think it's considerate of them. Protecting the public from their general ugliness.

Being @'ted.

VAR!

Spent all this week in and around Worthing hospital because my wife is unwell, and not one mask in sight !

Covers bands and tribute acts.

You don't need to embellish this with the bit about the bag.

I can't believe how common this is getting. I understand how "little princess" young women might do this, but even grown men are at it. Last Thursday this bloke walked off in a huff when I insisted I sit next to him. He first tried to crush me at shoulder height but ****ed off just as I was about to say something.

Something similar happened the other day (and this is truly shocking). It was in the Costa Coffee in Selsdon. I went in there for a tea time coffee. The place was busier than I was expecting it to be but there were enough seats for everyone (I'm not going to exaggerate this for effect). On a table for four was seated one single woman on a laptop (already annoying).

As well as her own, she had an unplugged laptop opposite her facing the other way, to make it look like the whole table was occupied and the person she was with had just popped off to the toilet!!! She basically went out of the house with a ******* prop. Who does that?

Hope your mrs gets well soon mate.

I had a ridiculous situation a while back when I wanted to get a balance, Cajamar atm wanted to charge 2euro, so I cancelled the transaction and it printed a slip to say i had cancelled the transaction...

Thanks very much, tough week.

Admitted to Royal Berkshire Hospital on Sunday, discharged Tuesday, got her home but had to go in to Worthing a & e the same day. In for a few days yet I think. Worthing querying why she was discharged in the first place.

I'll never knock the NHS because they've been brilliant for me but it sounds like she's got the shit end of the stick.
Best wishes sent your way.

All the best to the Mrs mate :p

Hope all is well....sending some best wishes :p

Thanks all.

They've been brilliant overall :p

Wishing your Mrs well, PE. The NHS is magnificent and must be preserved.

This. 100% :p

'I was a victim of my own beauty'. How narcissistic can people be?

Hear hear.

The trend of British white girls basically making themselves racially ambiguous through stupid amounts of fake tan, lip fillers etc. Any moral criticisms aside, it just looks daft.

Well as long as she’s feeling better, I hope :p

My wife's habit of texting me to add items to the shopping list, when I've left the supermarket. FFS.

Or when you're half way through putting the items through the self service till.

Got home yesterday, and my wife says, "Did you pick up my medication?"

Me: "No"

Her: "I texted you asking if you could pick it up on your way home."

I guess I should keeping looking at my phone every few minutes for the last 4 hours like all the other robots, in case I get a text message from somebody! (I know it pings when I get one, but out and about and in my pocket it's not always obvious)

Having to read and hear deferential royalist drivel about perfect Kate an obscenely pampered and over privileged woman of no particular merit to try to convince what are seen as easily manipulated brits that the royal family is of any worth, which it most certainly is not

Well said. She’s done a podcast which, according to 5Live earlier, has helped ‘humanise’ her.

Computer programmer goes to the supermarket. Before he goes, asks his wife if she needs anything.

"Get a loaf of bread, and see if they've got any eggs, get a dozen".

Comes back with 12 loaves of bread.

I would like to think that is a true story :D. Probably worked for Microsoft on Windows 10.

Hilarious article/interview in yesterday's Times, extolling her determination to be a 'hands-on' mother. All by herself. Apart from the nanny, the housekeeper, the private secretary, the cleaners, the buggy pushing security detail, and various other flunkies. Sometimes, they should just shut the F**k up.

Oh, yes.

People who over stir when making a tea/coffee. Really bugs me, not sure why.

I have the perfect solution to that, my wife is notorious for not carrying her phone with her, or if she does she doesnt have the volume up for any alerts, texts etc. So, when she messages me to add little errands onto my day,shopping trips and so on, I just leave them unopened, dont perform the added tasks and when I get home just tell her my phone was on silent and explain how annoying that is when you need to get in touch with people.

This rings quite a few bells (or not as the case probably is when I'm trying to get in touch with her)

The Post Office.

Tried to set up a mail re-direction.

A new account request met with the message that be told my e-mail address (the log-in id) was already in use with them, but they could e-mail me a password reminder, which they did, with the option of a new password if I needed it. Tried to rack my brains as to it what might be and narrowed it down to two in the end. Turns out they still had my account details from my previous re-direction over 7 years ago!

When I finally log in, they greet me like a long-lost friend. Not too sure that is very safe or even legal. New re-direction eventually finally completed.

Does Maidstoned know about this?

Would you consider 7 stirs too many or just about right?

I read in a book about a guy that always did 7 stirs, and since then I've sort of adopter this.

All part of me turning into Howard Hughes I think...

shhh ;)

I wouldn't wish my wife on anyone.

I give my coffee a good old stir, make sure my cane sugar has fully dissolved. If it annoys others, this makes it all the more pleasurable. :)

People who have pink and blue jobs

When me and the Mrs are stood at the checkout in the supermarket, with our purchases making their way down the conveyor belt and my Mrs suddenly says 'Oh, I forgot I wanted to pick up x, y or z'.

She then disappears for 10 mins whilst I'm stood at the checkout for 5 of those explaining to everyone 'Sorry! I'm sure she'll be back any second'

When my Mrs asks me to open the blinds and then after readjusts the blinds.

No doubt a repeat . . . footballers and their headphones.

Dog owners with their humping great growling, slavering hound of the baskervilles telling you they are lovely and harmless. Just get it away from me.

Agree with this. How are you supposed to head a football with $400 head phones on.:confused:

Rule number one... never go supermarket shopping with your Mrs.

Rule number two... in the event that rule number one cannot be avoided have an escape plan.

He's watching you................

And I fancied an early night.

Substitutes that are no way near ready to come on when called upon. It’s not like they’re at home making a cup of tea then get a surprising call from the boss. Paid ridiculous money to sit on the bench so the least you can do is have all your gear on. If I was a manager and that happened, I’d just bring someone else on.

The Everton guy v Palace with only one sock on was a classic... That was something I would have expected from Mario Balotelli!
