As a guest, I think rewiring hotel rooms is frowned upon

Aldi scanner does indeed go bloody fast, combined with less than usual space for the scanned shopping. Prices and range good though:afro:

Can you two get your collective heads around the difference between a 'plug' and a 'socket' pls? TIA.

Went to the car wash today... why do they always have to **** with the seats settings.

Takes be weeks to get it where I want it and they come along and move it all over the place - I think it's their little game.

I know... another middle class problem!

Where does "Outlet" fit into this?

I think you'll find it's the other way round and things fit in to outlets.

You can put any card in most of them, they dont work by the code.

Why do you need to charge anything by the bed?

Are you a short arse?

If only you had anything else to fit in the credit card-sized slot ...

Stick your season ticket in it - at least you'll get something back for it this season.

Kind of the opposite... I'm in the Peter Crouch mold!

It's the car wash people that are the short arses.

Well theres your answer.

Wanky Business speak - what a load of self righteous crap, always annoys me.

On a call this morning, about projects, some real gems cam out.

"The War Room"

"Projects now divided into 3 categories, based on size, Boulders, Pebbles and Sand"

"In order to assess your request we will have a weekly 'T'Shirt sizing' meeting where we will determine how much cloth you need rather than the one size approach" (Fitz Hall...apologies)

Utter twats

Forgetting to pay the DART charge. Again. £70 fine for the two trips across the Thames.

Lovely :D

You probably know this already but set up the online auto pay and you'll never forget again.

I reckon I've got stung by a speed camera on the A1 near Worksop again too. Just waiting for that to hit the doormat to improve my mood.

Aye, I'm aware of this now. I rarely use the Dartford crossing as I live near the Blackwell Tunnel & Woolwich ferry. If it wouldn't result in loads of traffic around my way I'd fecking bomb the Dartford crossing to justify the £70.

What on earth were you doing near "Worksop"?

Visiting popester

I've been in the north east. Half term, innit.

Walking his dog

What’s galling is they were supposed to stop the tolls once it had been paid for. Instead they sold it to a French company. So we now subsidise Frances transport systems

This may have been mentioned in my foul mouthed rantings this morning.

Corrected,

That's Butler

Jizz de chien?

I assume you're looking forward to having your front door kicked in at 4am? Suppose it saves setting the alarm..

doigté le cul d'un chien

:supergrin: ‘Kin brilliant

...sorry, I mean, oh dear

Not having electricity. Amazing how you miss it. Before you say it, nothing to do with unpaid bills... scheduled maintenance by the electric company.

Get yourself an inverter and connect it to your vehicle. Do use one of those little RCD plugs. I'm guessing in California you want to keep fridge/freezer running.

Thanks, but it’s a bit late now! Plenty of sun light and charge phone in car if needed. Bathrooms are a bit of a problem as they have no windows. I think I’ll go hit some golf balls as they warn it could be 6 hours.

Falling down the stairs at home.

Heel slipped off the top stair, skated down the entire flight on my back and arse. Got carpet burns on both arms.

****.

Having to reset about 8 clocks after a power outage!

Slipped down one stair in Feb....torn ligaments and a fractured ankle. Wimp.

What about your coccyx?

Carpet burns.........ooh memories of youth :p

2 for the price of 1.

I don't find bargains annoying, but digging out a massive splinter only snatch failure from the jaws of victory when the bastard split in two before it all come out. Just as the red mist was rising, I realised I was becoming short sighted, or long, I can't remember which is which.

People on here who take random photos of commuters on trains and then slag them off via twitter. Not on as the person has not given permission.

People who get to stay in really fancy and expensive hotel on business (conferences/seminars) and then go on Trip Advisor and say how wonderful the hotel is.

Maybe if they were paying out of their own pockets they might look at the place in a different light.

foresthillbilly?

Which begs the question , why are you looking at trip advisor reviews of fancy expensive hotels H? Splashing out?

Things that annoy you
 

I did, it’s the one we went to last year. People who have to pay out of their own pockets (me included) seem to have a different view of the place than those on a company jolly.

Someone took a picture of you didnt they. :)

I know what that's like, a few years ago I fell and fractured my shoulder.

The most annoying ads on TV and more so the radio are all the Mcdonalds ads with that infuriating whistle at the end. I have to switch them off as they are driving me mad.

Online/social media reviews in general.

I just skim read the google and Facebook reviews for a place I'm doing some work for and, at least, a third are questionable in their impartiality.

..and its been going on for about 16 years!!!!! Longest, annoying ad campaign in history!

I am looking forward to your annual thread bump next week. I mean tomorrow, cough.

Thanks for the reminder.

So they change in The UK tonight? I'll have to figure out what that does to the game in the morning.

Oooh , thanks

We will turn up an hour early but still manage to put a couple wide of an empty net?

Seeing that Glenn Murray has just poached yet another decent penalty box finish for the scum...sigh !!

I am astonished about how many things annoy me - particularly the behaviour and actions of people on public transport.

Indian workmate brings in some lovely food cooked by his wife,annoyingly once again she never did enough for us to share.Caused a fair old row :lux::lux:

The fact that the kids don't seem to get the fact that we had an extra hour in bed.

Or in our case, cats.

When loud people say, "ooh, you're very quiet, aren't you?" to me.

Robbie Williams’ wife bigging herself by making sarcy comments about him on X Factor.

I’d love him to turn to her and say ‘who the ***king hell are you then?’

Grandson using the water pistol on the TV. Now need to find money for new TV.

Chemmy Alcott- may have done this before- keeps turning up on TV - a right Big I Am.

The phrase ‘puts things into perspective’ in relation to football when a tragedy happens.

Hear people on the media say that all the time - especially at the moment - and it infuriates me. Like everyone that loves the game thinks it’s more significant than life and death situations and we need our spiritually superior media host to give us soulless fools a wake up call. So patronising.

Great post Nick. Puts everything into perspective.

Yep. Anyone using it should just quit, as they obviously think football’s a load of pointless bollocks. Oh you’re back again are you? Fvck off.

People not from London who’s knowledge of the place roughly boils down to Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park telling me that South East London ‘isn’t really London.’

Whereas Norf London most definitely is :rolleyes:

Doesn’t sound like you’re enjoying Sheff much mate :D

Found a decent Chinese yet ?

Nah I’m loving it, but haven’t spotted a ‘things you love’ thread on here :D And yet to find a decent Chinese, although my flatmate does a mean stir fry.

Try the search facility.

Having to scroll down a page to find this thread.

The media's desire to publicly share grief.

Armistice day tributes in October.

All the people who will moan about James McClean not wearing a shirt with a poppy on and being too thick to realise that no paras were ever brought to juctice for the murders committed by them in Derry which is his reason not to wear one.

Solipsistic People who can only talk about themeselves, always in glowing terms, often mentioning their own name in the tedious process. As soon as you get a word in edgeways they turn the conversation back to themselves again.

I agree. Oddly, I got chastised on here some months back for daring to say the same thing.

Funny old world the BBS. I suppose my timing was out.

It's a tired cliche.

The diabetes prevention nurse telling me 'well done on the weight loss....but now go and lose another two stone' Wow! if I lose another two stone you could hold me up to the light and see through me! It really is time those weight/obesity charts were reconsidered?

I'm going through the same thing... I already make Peter Crouch look like Neil Ruddock!

Last time I saw the Doc, he said, try and lose anther 5 pounds.

I'm at the stage now where I'm trying to put weight on, I currently weight the same as I did when I got married 33 years ago and still losing.

I don't think it's a good look, and I'm yet to see any evidence my blood glucose numbers are down to the normal range.

The recent adoption of the word 'gammon' to describe 'older europhobics' and maybe even more so using it to fuel this young vs older division in society that appears to be gathering steam.

Using it as an insult then seems more than ironic but maybe that's just me.

Besides i never did like gammon :)

We are casual dress at work all week and have been for some time (2+ years?)... so the people who still turn up in suits/shirts/smart shoes annoy me

Perhaps they think they're James Bond

It's better to be 100% overweight than 100% underweight.

Perhaps they have permitted themselves a coloured hankerchief ?

Annuities. If you have a 25k pension they will only pay you £998 a year which supposed I will live to 92 what a load of bollocks. I want all the £ now and I’ll buy a sports car and die young .........ish

You are a classy fella.

Show the dopes this. You will need to point out the bottom line to them as the ignorant, northern divs won't notice it otherwise.

Do you have pre diabetes? Just been told I have

Was told about five months ago that I was at a high level level of pre-diabetic state and should lose weight and exercise immedeately. Have to say that after last Christmas over indulging, being away on hols in January and coming back with an illness that laid me low for a month it probably led to the high readings that were not normal for me? I was offered meetings and advice but just started off myself on a low fat diet and some exercise and lost two stone and two pounds since that time. Fortunately all but one of the blood test result indicators are out of the pre-diabetic state and the remaining one borderline. I've been told I'm not needed to be seen by the nurse again or followed up but was advised to lose two more stone to match their guidelines on height/weight obesity levels.

Only 3 hours time difference for CT and I now. Seems crazy when you think of the distance.

You may want to take a look at this thread if you haven't seen it:

Some useful information in there.

People in a pub putting their jackets and bags on the table next to the one they're sitting at. Then looking at you like you're the dick for asking them to move it.

Which brings back memories of a chip shop near Roker Park in 1990. When the lass behind the counter asked who we were supporting and we told her, she asked, “Crystal Palace, where’s that?”

Similar to this, Macdonald's have now introduced a ticketing system so that you collect your food when it's ready and your number's called. But people - mostly older - still insist on queuing and getting in your way when it's time. They give you filthy looks as you wrestle your way to the counter at the front.

It's very annoying.

I met the odd American this summer that asked ‘where’s that?’ when I said I lived in Scotland.

Stupid Macdonalds ticketing systems that take ages to use rather than speaking to a real person.

To be fair, anyone who doesn't know much about football wouldn't know. Same for Everton, arsenal, Port Vale etc.

Thanks HH, and to LN1

Do people still eat Macdonalds?

I would have expected most people to have at least heard of the original Crystal Palace and maybe sort of associated it with London. Anyway I'm not in the mood to be fair to anyone from the N.E., especially after last night...:frown:

The worlds biggest restaurant etc.
