I just finished a P.D. James - Adam Dalgliesh book and this is exactly what happened.

At no time in the book did the crime(s) get solved, and they seemed to be closing in on the wrong person.

After I finished the book, I just had to say to myself, "What was that all about? it certainly wasn't AD solving the crime".

that awkward period between England games and the proper football coming back. Absolutely gagging for some Barclays right now

People on trains.

There's something you don't hear on the Southern lines...

Going to hit some golf balls on the local driving range (first time I've dug my clubs out for 15+ years) at 10:30 on a Thursday morning and finding the place swarming with people and no free mats.

Dosen't anybody work 9 to 5 Monday through Friday anymore?

The speed must be familiar though. Didn't hit anything today apart from a few pigeons.

People who post rubbish on twitter and then boast about how many ‘bites’ they’ve got when people call them out

Psychics and mediums. Mrs Bubbs, her sister and friends are off to see John Edwards tonight. I mean, I can understand why the spectacle might be entertaining, but how do people still believe in this? It’s so bloody obvious how they do it.

Robbie Savage passionately sticking up for Zaha. :veryangry

I like having a pop at him for talking shit.

We even have the likes of Derren Brown doing exactly the same thing and telling everyone that it has nothing to do with psychic powers.

He’s actually better than them!

Mrs Bubbs just got back and said it was mostly nonsense although Edwards was good at his craft.

People who use the word "learnings". The right word is "lessons".

Another one about social f—king media prats and responses to CPFC official posts.

CPFC wish Max a happy Birthday. Fine, done.

Next comes a load of people saying “Start him/play him FFS/give him start for present”. So now the media team choose the team do they?! Or perhaps, they report back to Roy and say “boss, this f—ker wants us to play Max so can you redo your team to accommodate”. FFS - what’s the point.

Anyhow, I’m calm again now.

Other cyclists cycling side by side chatting on a one way or even worse a single two way single cycle lane like earlier, next time will just plough into you! :grrr:

I'm glad I wound you up today without even realizing. Now where's that 'things that make you happy' thread. :supergrin:

Don't get me started !

However, there is a different thread for you to vent your spleen on this subject ...

Sssssshhhh. Don't let Maidstoned and Maz know about it.

Where I live we are very fortunate to have dedicated bike paths that run along side the dry river bed. These paths are I would guess be about 10 feet wide including about 2 feet for pedestrians to walk in. That leaves two lanes of about 4 feet each for the cyclist in each direction.

Nothing pisses me off more than riding these paths and encountering 2 guys (or girls) coming towards me side by side with the outer one in my lane forcing me to move out of the center of the lane to the side. Inevitably they just sail on by like I'm invisible without even a twitch of recognition of me getting out of their way.

Wish I had the balls to play chicken with them...

Saved you some typing

Things that annoy you
 

Cyclists —— F—KING CYCLISTS!!! I’m having (well slight exaggeration, choosing more like) to stay in a hotel on Saturday night after the Palace game because of a poxy race that means they’re shutting half (slight exaggeration) of Sussex roads on Sunday. I can’t even get out of my road come 6am Sunday morning because of a load of poxy two wheeled f—kers. Roads are built for cars, not bikes!! Lots of people are in uproar near us. Bloody ridiculous to shut main roads because of a push bike.

Don’t tell me you’re included in that race too fox! [emoji6]

'The next level'.
F*ck off. It doesn't mean anything.

I'm coming home especially for it.

If it's the London to Brighton I know what you mean.

Yes we get a lot of cyclists round our way, which is predominantly relatively narrow country roads. I often encounter groups of them in all their gear when driving to the shops, they bunch up as if in the peloton of the Tour de France and seem affronted that you might actually want to overtake them and get on with your day. One of these days I will just drive behind them, about 6 inches from the rear rider's back wheel with headlights flashing just like the backup cars in the Tour.

And the word 'woke' is really starting to annoy me. Not when used in its original meaning obviously.

Too late. :supergrin:

Not London to Brighton.


It’s this one...can’t believe a load of bikes can shut a whole network of road down causing so much Agro to all around in the area - bastards!

However, gives my little daughter and I a chance to stay in a hotel for night which she thinks is fun. I’m half tempted to send to send them the bill and see what they say [emoji2].

Yeah i know what you mean. I love cycling to work and back everyday (over here though would not attempt back in London). We also have dedicated cycle lanes here, basically all over Copenhagen (where half the population commute by cycle everyday) The cycle lanes are raised up from the road and down from the pavement so works well from a safety perspective. But still get some annoying idiot cyclists/just like idiot car drivers/pedestrians) :supergrin:

This ad - Lloyds Bank By Your Side - feck off

Don’t they have a “Stand your ground “ in your state? Assert your second amendment rights!

I’ve switched to BT Sport UHD 3 times in the last 15 minutes and been greeted with 5 minutes of Ads each time.

No wonder people pirate.

Liverpool not losing every match ever

stop being good you Kopite gimps

I suppose if you’re on an escalator then it does. :supergrin:

Football wise you’re right - utter bollocks.

I think the Clowns must be regretting their reaching the “next level”.

Yes, and I could say from my hospital bed, “I stood my ground”....

I've got a horrible image of obese Americans arses on saddles now. Thanks.

Last night I read, in a Sunday supplement, '..a woke moment of gender fluidity'. I will now be hunting down the writer with a woke moment of excessive brutality in mind.

Cheese wire is your friend.

Seconded

I've driven my VW campervan around the Goodwood circuit. :p

All the bank ads, I shout at the TV - "pay our money back you crooks!"

Makes me feel much better. :lux:

Fragrance ads.

Theresa May's arse

SKY broadband's American family.

People who blow into their paper to separate pages.

‘For the journey’

What, into the abyss, wankers?

Stores already having Christmas shite for sale

People that say store instead of shop.

A shop is smaller than a store in my mind.

People who stand in a doorway, holding the door open so that the things the door was designed to keep out come in.

Said people not closing door properly behind them so said things continue to come in, and ignoring the situation until a member of staff rectify it.

People bringing their bikes into the pub.
a) did you not plan to chain it up before you left the house?
b) drunk-cycling is not an acceptable alternative to drink-driving

Enjoying having things to post on here.

People who ask you a question about something very specific, then tell you to stop going on about it

The potential for new legislation that will require all restaurants to document the calorie content of their dishes

Car insurers who send you a renewal price, but when you check them on Meerkat.com are £50 cheaper. Con artists :grrr:

The disgrace that Fuller's pubs have become. More specifically, The Half Moon in Herne Hill

Being sent a text by your GP surgery telling you who your designated GP is, who you will never be able to get an appointment with in a million years but will be fobbed off with anyone vaguely available at the time.

Having tests done at your GP surgery and then only being able to ring them them between 3 pm and 3.01 pm to get the results from someone on the front desk who hasn’t a clue what they mean and is reading them out in front of the attentive waiting room audience having already confirmed your name and date of birth.

Having to use the pharmacy at your GP surgery, which incidentally happen to be owned by the GP partners, and which then doesn’t stock the drug you are prescribed.

When said pharmacy doesn’t stock your prescribed drug and instead of giving you the prescription to go elsewhere rings the doctor to change your prescription to one they do have!

Having to mix with all those contagious people at your GP surgery when all you came in for was a blood pressure check. No wonder my bloody BP is high.

Same. Not just Fuller's and not just the Half Moon either :wallbash:

Yes, as in department store as opposed to shop.

James Dyson.
He isn't going to make any more large vacuums anymore.
Twat.

Flatmates who can’t cook, and are seemingly unwilling to learn how.

Don’t get me started on the frustrations in dealing with my streamlined, target driven, point of contact healthcare provider.

Commentators who seem to think English teams only need to turn up to win European ties and are unable to recognise the fact that English teams are “favourites” to win tournaments due to betting patterns, not in-depth analysis.

'I am planning to staircase in the future..' What the f*cking f*ck does that mean?

In addition, the notion that Arsenal and Chelsea are “favourites” to win the Europa league when the third placed Champions League teams will enter the tournament at the knockout stage.

Half empty football grounds for European games

People who walk past the bar on their way out of the pub and leave their empty glasses on the table.

Sports news readers who incorrectly pronounce the names of foreign teams during the broadcast.

Taking a day off and the bloke doing my job hitting a tree and winning the trauma lottery. I didnt get feck all for my reindeer.

Did you not even get any antlers? That’s poor

Not even a steak or two ?

Leaving aside the matter of a reindeer on the tracks (although clearly it had no business being at large in Scotland) , how the feck did he hit a tree? Was he ambushed by mexican bandits or something?

It's a 'falling down' moment - but McDonalds and finishing serving breakfast at 10:30.

Nobody has ever said "Let's go for an early lunch" at 10:30 - but everyone's heard of 'All Day Breakfast'

Wankers - now where did I put my machine gun ?......

I went back up two days later and the whole thing was gone. I think the p way picked it up and took it to the butchers. It must have been in bits, i hit it square on doing 85mph and went right over it. His tree did make a mess of the windscreen i suppose. Would have been a (more) weird birthday i guess but could have been on a beach now. Well after newcastle anyway.

:D

It was mentally windy up here yesterday. The reindeer are everywhere on the highland line though. No predators i guess. Apart from trains.

Well they can't make teams who aren't in the Tournament yet favorites can they haha

How Elgin dealt with Mexican bandits, in the days he had no hair.

I had a similarly traumatic experience on the way to the gym yesterday.

After 32 years of driving I hit my first live animal. Car 1-0 Squirrel.

:p

Bet he votes Corbyn and not some wishy washy centrist c*nt.

If some of you get your gifts late this upcoming Christmas we know who to blame...

http://images-in.i.m.pic.centerblog.net/be517d60.gif

As long as it was a yank grey one you're in the clear. Got to protect the reds.

Musf spread. Cant jusf rep anyone when i feel like it like you.

I think there was a time when Alexis Sayle would have described Corbyn as a centrist c*nt :)

Why has Corbyn not addressed this total inequality?

Yeah true. Shows how far into wrongness we have moved.

We all need to become mods. You volunteer then send me your login details.

Lets both volunteer and start the revolution that ends the tyranny that allows Mods to rep whenever they can, a luxury not afforded to us plebs.

Quite. The obsession with all things gambling leads to nonsensical analysis.

I was told they are continuing to make them just not develop any new ones.

I’m surprised you haven’t got a custodial sentence, there’s only 150 reindeer in Scotland.

Actually there’s only 149 now. :)

Had a pint in the Winston Churchill in Bayswater on Monday and it was lovely.:frown:

I repped you both for this :D

Ive already volunteered but you have more chance than me as you agree with them occasionally.

Must spread etc :veryangry

:D

I must see the same buggers all the time then. Especially in snowy season when they come down off the mountains looking for food. Theres definitely more than that. Nothing kills them.

Hes abusing his powers again. I dont know why we have taken this for 18 years.

Comrade Elgin we sent YOU out 18 years ago, I was sent in 10 years later to find out what the **** you were doing. You are useless as an infiltrator. You should have been head mod by now.

Siberia awaits.

:p

Beautiful women, proper climate, free land from the Pres, whats not to like? Well the mossies i guess.

I'll watch your infiltration attempts from afar in my sauna. My interest in becoming a mod was purely vengeful. You have a far calmer demeanour, and can spell entryism. Even if you cant say eeeeaaggles properly.

In my part of the world a shop is where you make things (a workshop) and a store is a place to buy things other people have made.

Well played :p

When the company you're calling actually has some decent hold music, but their stupid robot voice keeps interrupting it every 20 seconds to thank me for my patience, and to suggest going online for more information

This sleeper driver. Utter c*nt. Can only be deliberate. Can't get a minutes sleep. Wanker.
