Smoking area conversations, yes I can see it is raining, now shut up or say something interesting.

Non smokers in a smoking area.

Sliding down big feck off hills in a 140 tonne train trying to brake and getting faster instead of slower.

Yoghurt.

Ticket machines at Lime Street Station that right royally rip you off and don't offer the correct/cheapest fares.😡😡😡

That my local station is now sponsored by an estate agent.

Thick people camping out on airport floors claiming to be 'stranded' every time there is a small problem at an airport

There are no flights you braindead wankers, go back to your hotel, get pissed and make the most out of an extra day or so.

Are you talking about people on package holidays who have come from a hotel?

That should be another 'things that annoy you', people on package holidays.:lux:

That droning "Liveeerpool Liiiiverpool" chant, which seems to be the only thing Liverpool fans sing these days. F*cking pony.

And another thing, the way commentators and the media go on about the Anfield Kop as if it's some sort of holy grail of football. The place is an old people's home these days.

Did you know Peter (on the right) is a big Palace fan? Used to go to games with him

Are you sure it wasn't Just an Illusion?

Love it !!

Hotels that have that sign in the bathroom ;

'To help us protect the environment, please re use your towels'

Bollox like the environment. It's to save you money. Arseholes

Whilst on the subject of hotels:

Wifi fees.
They use to fleece us with their telephone charges, then we all got mobiles and the hotel room phone was only used for ordering room service. Now we all have smart phones and wifi laptops they fleece us again. Bastards.

Same as 'Please do not put tissues in the toilet'. Hellloooooo! Having wiped my backside on some I'm not taking 'em home with me, sorry. Could fill up the bin with 'em but you know the rest...large whiff of rotting curries etc. Can wait till I get to the Brighton changing room before letting rip. Much more satisfying & no tissues required.

Seeing the takeover rumour thread bumped with an actual takeover rumour.

The place is an old chinese people's home these days

Having seen a couple of trailers,Lady In The Van

Foul smelling food on trains

In fact any eating at all on trains.

hate it when you go abroad and you have to put toilet roll in a bin. Primitive countries.

'Small problems' like an earlier flight being blown up just after take-off with the loss of all lives on board. The bloody whingers.

Primitive drainage systems i guess. I always forget and chuck the paper in anyway.

Brian Blessed

Use the two flush method - once for shit and then once for paper.

Never blocks it up and keeps that particular Anglo Saxon toilet crisis at bay. :p

The new Muppets ditching the old theme tune.

Case proven.

Even more reason not to be hanging around an airport until the situation is resolved.

Metric instead of Imperial.

My daughter's school refusing to give her medicine at lunch time, which means me having to drive a 9 mile round trip to give her a spoonful of medicine at lunchtime.
I'm on night shifts at the moment.

https://www.gov.uk/government/public...-conditions--3

and page 19 in particular.

People consistently driving 10mph below the speed limit.

20 in a 30 on clear roads is not acceptable. You're not being safe. You're causing danger by making people want to take risks by getting past you.

They said unless there is a clear indication that the medicine has to be taken in school time they won't do it, the medicine has to be taken after meals! was hoping for a commonsense solution, but the school said they were protecting their teachers in case they forgot to give the medicine and I would then be able to sue.
Can't download document as I'm on me phone.

Agreed.

What!?!?!? Disgraceful.

Steve's sent you a v useful document.

Whilst the preference is for medicines to be taken outside of school hours, that's not set in stone if you can demonstrate that's not possible in your child's case.

I'd copy this document, highlight the relevant sections and send the school a letter explaining why the medicine has to be taken at lunchtime.

Unless the condition is temporary? In which case it might not be worth the effort and aggro.

Well done, Steve.

Cheers, at work at the mo, will print off and take with me tomorrow morning.

Ronda Rousey

Who?

AH right just googled, Bet you would not tell her though.

School weren't having it, Head-teacher said if the medicine is to be taken 4 times a day they will do it, but because it only has to be taken 3 times a day she says they don't have to do it.
I showed her the document on my tablet, but she still refused.
Thanks for the help, but I think I'm gonna have to admit defeat.

Page 19 says : [No school shall] require parents, or otherwise make them feel obliged, to attend school to administer medication or provide medical support to their child, including with toileting issues. No parent should have to give up working because the school is failing to support their child’s medical needs.

This doesn't appear to be qualifiedby thenumber of times medication needs to be taken!

I wouldn't admit defeat so easily; it seems quite explicit.

That's what I thought, but head said it's on the East Sussex schools website that medicine taken 3 times daily is the responsibility of the parents. I get the impression that the teacher doesn't want to do it, maybe there was a issue previously with another pupil and the teacher has just refused to give medication to anyone else? The reason I say this, is because she has mentioned the legal ramifications for the school if things go wrong.
Anyway thanks for the help, but the I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall with the school, so I'll just drive up every lunch time to give daughter meds.

Fortunately you can, but what would happen if you worked further away or in a job where you couldn't get out readily?

TV and radio ads with ukuleles/acoustic guitars and twee - usually girly - vocals.

I do shift work, sometimes I'm around sometimes I'm not... I'm working until 3am, I explained to head, although I'm not at work I would like to sleep as I'm getting to bed at 4am, getting up at 7am, getting daughter ready for school doing school run then getting home getting a few more hours kip then having to get up do a 9 mile round trip just to give my daughter a spoonful of medicine while her teacher watches me.
I'm kinda battle fatigued by it all....maybe it's lack of sleep, but it all seems ridiculous to me.

I used to work on a building site with a bricklayer who was so proud of his shit he wanted the whole site to see it. He purposely didn't flush prior to laying a cable so that it stuck to the down flap in the portaloo. He then wiped his arse and took the toilet paper and put it in the skip so that his prized effort was on full show for the next poor fecker who entered the portaloo. He probably doesn't concur with your grievance.

I suggest you write to the Board of Governors asap.

She only has to take medicines until Wednesday, I'm going to print document and give it to one of the governers in the playground on early school run. Probably won't be sorted in time for my daughter, but hopefully they'll change their policy for future cases.

Hard luck Mushroom, sounds to me like the Head is deliberately being unhelpful. Their decision is certainly not in the spirit of the Govt document we've been discussing.

I can understand you feeling this isn't worth a big bunfight, as the situation will be finished soon.

But your idea of giving it to a Governor and highlighting the relevant sentences might help another parent in the future.

Football on Friday nights.

Friday nights is for boozing. Save the games for Saturday or Sunday.

Seeing as they compliment each other perfectly I can't see the problem.

The weekend could potentially be ruined before it's started, and either way, it leaves nothing to look forward to on the Saturday.

Apart from those jobs around the house you promised the missus/trip to Ikea/time with the kids etc

(Kill me now)

Going to Game, trading in 2 games that I paid £45 plus for and getting a £10 for both.

People constantly driving 10mph above the speed limit ;)

I don't drive but when I was taking lessons it would annoy me when an inconsiderate driver would come right up behind me when there was no space to overtake, especially when I was driving at the speed limit for the road!

Some people seem to forget that they were once learners themselves!

Oh and away fans who complain that Selhurst Park is a hard ground to get to, especially fans of teams who play in the middle of nowhere.

Children In Need. I know it's a great cause, but why is the content of the TV programme so consistently woeful? It's as it they have a policy of not ever doing anything funny in case they get sued by Comic Relief. I also find that bear and Terry Wogan incredibly annoying.

I've just donated £25 to make up for being such a killjoy. (I've not been well, you know.)

Just the one game? Lucky us :)

Different types of boozing.

Oh God yes - this!

I think it's aimed at suburban hipsters, and middle-class beardies that used to be in crap bands but now use terms like 'load-bearing walls' in their day-to-day conversations.

All horrible.

Stupid questions! Just ordered a takeaway curry and a pint of Cobra. Are you going to wait here or come back to collect your order. I've just ordered a fecking pint to neck whilst I'm waiting so what do you think? If I didn't think they'd spit in the food (they probably do anyway) I would have said yeah the pint was for you I'll be back in half an hour.

I'd much rather have a backdrop of live sport to compliment my indoor drinking than Children in Need. Although even that becomes bearable after two bottles of wine and eight bottles of Peroni. :p

Wogan's not doing it this year, if that helps.

I'm sat in a curry house and all I can think of now is Wogan Josh.

I'm being forced to watch it, I want to stick pins in my eyes.

Could be worse Civil. You could be watching the England game.

So bored by England at the moment that I forgot they're playing.

Will watch them v France next week, but only if Cabaye plays.

No Bournemouth or Southampton

I made the mistake of watching the England game, then joining the rest of the family in the living room with Children in Need. Safe to say I've had more entertaining evenings (though I did manage to catch up with 2 days of Twitter while "watching" the game

Fireworks on the 14th of November

People still donate and watch Children in Need when it is quite obviously a con.

As ordered by Jonathon Woss.

The rhotacistic ranker

Takeaway places that stick a cold drink can in the bag with the rest of the hot food you've ordered.

People who state assumption as fact

Loads of people all over social media re-posting a picture of a random French bloke claiming it is Martin Kelly.

You must love the BBS!

Looked more like Bolasie to me.

Japanese lesbians. Why sound like 8 year old kids being tortured? Or any Nip being f*cked to be honest. Ruins my wank.

Getting a puncture on my bike 11 miles from home, and not being able to fix it.

I really like that it's censored though, that way I can watch it with my kids.

People that comment on what your eating!

Thing like "That's heart attack food" etc. I don't care, leave me alone and do one.

Good one that! WHY!?

I'm getting increasingly irritated by people on public transport who insist, not on sitting next to me, but sitting in the seat on the other side of the gangway, but on the inside nearest to me.

The window seat is free! Keep as far away from me as possible please. It's actually worse than sharing my seat. At least when people sit right next to me it's sort of validating and I feel slightly good about myself.

Dropping a large :angel: tumbler of port and brandy all over the (oatmeal) hall carpet.

Are you annoyed at the loss of the port and brandy or the stain on the carpet?

The way Americans do their date. Month then day then year. No, it goes Day Month Year in order of length of time in the rest of the world. Why do they do this??

The loss of the port and brandy is hurting more at the moment to be honest.

I would expect a new carpet to be arriving courtesy of our insurers at some point but I'm not sure they will cover the drink.:sob:

I do agree but... when you say the date e.g, November 11th then ...

Fascist ***** who use horrific events to push their own hate filled agendas.

Bus drivers who pull away from bus stops without looking

This.

Within a minute of my first post on Friday's tragedy, a poster blamed immigration!

Shoppers that get to the checkout and let the person on the till start to put the shopping through and then remember they left the bags in the car and instead of buying one wander off to the car park to get them. Just remember your going to the shops you now need a bag or pay the 5p its simple really people did it for years .

Forgetting my bags when I get to the check out at the supermarket and having to send my son sprinting to the car to retrieve them.

But I say 11th of November ;)

Some little charmer at my daughters school sent her a picture of my daughter with 'this is the face of a bitch' typed underneath.

Annoyance doesn't really cut it. You can only feel for the poor innocent moslem kids in France and the children of idiots who will set upon them in the days to come. Not just children either. Even adults won't be spared from these braindead racist scum. I'm not an especially violent man but certain things push my buttons. There should be a 'things you would take a police caution for' thread.

Aches and pains as i get older. I used to heal so quickly.
Trapped nerve in my back alongside a pulled groin which have barely healed in two months and now topped off by squashing the top of my finger under a manhole cover. Happy days.

That my left earhole is physically incapable of retaining a headphone when you lose the wee furry yoke that covers them.

Losing the wee furry yoke that goes on the end of headphones.
