Quite. Absolutely jaw dropping prices, went this year and made a mental note never to take my future kids there.

£9 each some of the rides were!

We haven't been, but I assumed it was a big admission charge and then do whatever rides you want (like Thorpe Park for example).

If it's pay as you go, can you buy a bundle that covers several rides?

If you have to pay for each ride separately, that makes things more pressured for families having to deal with pester power and a budget.

Aquaintances (aka Facebook 'friends') sending me pages of drivel asking me to read a message & daring you not to share it with the world & his oyster (?) by reason of NOT passing it on....on pain of death & hatred by them forever. "Worra looda borrocks" as any self-respecting Newcastle fan would say

Sky Sports News this morning at the top of the hour, presenter saying "what more could you wish for than a Christmas message from Jurgen Klopp?" Cue him wishing us all a Merry Christmas. GET F*CKED.

Sky Sports have their tongues so far up that piss drinking tramp's arsehole it's untrue.

Ooh, I got one... The football club you've supported for 30 years losing their identity and becoming the same as every other shitty no-mark club just desperate to stay in the Premier League.

Cheer up. At least it's not Palace.

We done that years ago hiring the likes of Neil Warnock and Tony Pulis.

Yawn

Getting tons of 'Merry Christmas' texts/whatsapps throughout the course of today.

Fine from my mates but from acquaintances and co-workers who I barely know it's a bit odd.

Told work that I was contactable during my vacation, but only if they promised not to try and contact me on Christmas Day of Boxing Day.......

Boring!!! What do you want, relegation??? Cos that's where we were headed!

Calling a holiday a vacation.

Why? Is your vacation a holy day?

My vacation? I don't take vacations, I go on holiday.
Ok, anyone outside of North America or who doesn't speak American English calling a holiday a vacation.

lol

A lot of people now say "can I get.." Rather than "may I " or "can I have"

So.....

People starting sentences with "so".

People starting sentences with "look". I think Tony Blair started that one, annoyingly Southgate does it regularly.

People starting sentences with "listen". Actually that doesn't annoy me, it just sounds desperate for attention.

I bet Mark Clattenburg does all of the above.

My wife having the menopause and my daughter going through puberty....at the same time......the house is the happiest place in the world and then turns into a house of horror within seconds

Calling Christmas Holidays. Happy ******* Holidays. Holidays is what you go on in the summer.

Still better than holibobs

This

Ouch.

And it's your fault.

Surely there is "nothing wrong" though

Things that annoy you
 

Menstruation Bingo.

I'M FINE.

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

Conversations at the moment are like a game of chess, I feel i am being manouvered into blame being laid at my door.....for everything.

Simpering Sam Kane Uriah Heeping all over Linda Lusardi. Give it a fvcking rest mate.

The bit between Christmas & New Year. We call it -

The Void.

People who do the Mexican wave at test matches. If you have the attention span of a gnat go to the T20.

Actually the Mexican wave.

BBC news ..... Again. This time its over the picture showing a toddler with a headline "Child asylum seekers from Jungle camp launch legal bid".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38455222

The youngest are 14 the oldest 17.

I have no issue with the story or the legal bid before I get leapt on in the usual BBS fashion.

The 28th is always the strangest day a you have gotten through christmas and boxing day,had the 27th to see off your hangover and then... back to work for 3 days or just sit on the settee. They should put a full round of matches on the 28th to liven 'the void' up a bit

Far East Eagle's post above has reminded me of this;

The increasingly popular use of the word 'gotten' by people who I'm assuming are not American.

what do you say then? :rolleyes:

Got, like normal people.

Celeb deaths taking up every news channel and radio stations constantly playing there songs if they were a singer.
Can't we have a dedicated sky/freeview channel and radio frequancy for this sort of thing?

TOTP2 1982 special has had me constantly breaking out into song thanks to renee and renato, I could be doing the washing up then "SAAAAAVVEEEEE YOUR LOVE MY DARRRRRRLING SAVE YOUR LOOOOOOVE"

Charity adverts.

You could have added "that go on for longer than Ben Hur."

£5.20 for a pint in London...

I know I know, but ffs

Shopping...

Has anyone mentioned hotel coat hangers?

Seriously, what is the point? Who on earth is going to steal a coat hanger?
:grrr:

Exactly why we've just had 3 days in the lakes. Beautiful

Edit - except for the 4 hour drive home. Now that's annoying

I do this and I can't stop it. It's involuntary. I find myself doing it most often at supermarket checkouts, when asking for a carrier bag.

If I start using a bag for life, it won't be caring for the environment that prompts it but this.

The one thing that annoys me more than anything these days is the now endemic use of 'could of / should of / would of'. I'm completely prepared to let the incorrect pronunciation of the letter H go. This truly is the real evil.

If I were homeless, I'd be pretty annoyed at ubertwat Chris Martin turning up at the shelter to sing Geroge Michael songs. That's adding insult to injury.

people having a normal conversation on the 'phone but insist on signing off by saying either "goodbye" or "h-okay" in a completely stupid imbecilic tone of voice. Just irritates the hell out of me for some reason.

HNY

realising you need to buy a new PC case as th shiny new graphics card I got for Christmas is too big for it (and anyway the case is kind of shit)

bet that won't be the end of it either, getting the power supply and motherboard from the current case will be a mission. This is why you should build your own PC's...

Just put in a visa application for Saudi. Three weeks is a dry country is a loooong time.

You'll be fine in the Expat confines, wont you? Or....


I know a Germna expat who got caught on a moped/motorbike there drunk driving. Served time for it.

Be good for you. January and Feb are dull as shit anyway

In a compound, drinking Sid? No thanks.

You say this but we have a serial tea spoon thief at work. If is isn't tied down etc. However, on that point the bibles never seem to be stolen...

I have had the plastic bog seat nicked from the toilets in my business on two occasions.

I expect to lose toilet rolls, but what sort of wanker nicks a toilet seat?

Who would want to smuggle out a second hand toilet seat anyway? If it is one of your staff, rather than sack them maybe you should get them some help

there is a famtom toliet seat breaker who visits victoria station toliets once every so often and just goes around breaking all of the loo seats. Needs to be caught!

Police are investigating but they have nothing to go on...

Not staff mate......it's the public I'm afraid.:eek:

The public.

In-laws. You can always rely on them to ruin the Christmas holiday with their idiocy.

Well you married their offspring so you've only yourself to blame!

Or the plugs out of sinks. Who the feck keeps nicking them?

2016...that was the WORST that was...

Doesn't have to be mother and father in law. See Christmas family rows thread :)

And you think 2017 is going to be any better?

Allowing the Rangers v Celtic game to be played at lunchtime on New Years eve.

It could be carnage all over central Scotland and will put the seal on what has been seen as a particularly bad year.

Not a good decision in retrospect. 12 years a slave.

Facebook in general on New Years Eve.

People posting their New Years Resolutions which are usually the same as the post they made this time last year.
People posting long paragraphs about their 'achievements' in 2016, sadness about the death of some celebrity, the holidays they've been on, etc, etc.
Posts like 'New Year, New Me'.
My timeline being taken up by random pictures from Google images of two champagne glasses, fireworks and/or the numbers 2017.

EFA

My thoughts exactly

He reported it to the police but they said they couldn't help as they had nothing to go on.
HNY

Sorry Bugs76, see you beat me to it with the Christmas cracker special!

and why wait for a New Year anyway, if you want to change your life, change it, you don't have to wait to start do you

A newly-wed who needs picture frames, or a Liverpudlian who will nick just about anything that's not welded down.

Did you know it was an Irishman who invented the toilet seat, although an Englishman is credited with perfecting the design by putting the hole in it. :eek::eek::p

HNY...

I'm not sure if it is annoying, more of a head scratcher really, but why do they package new socks so preciously with tissue paper inside them, little clips holding the toes together, and sticky labels and sown in tags.

Guess what I got for Christmas?

I don't mind receiving socks for Christmas. It's when you really need pants and you only get socks that pisses me off. Alanis Morissette put it better.

P.S. I've just googled her for the correct name spelling: she looks really nice at the moment.

Victoria Beckham OBE - FFS

Yep. wtf?

Jools Holland

Come on - love the hootenany!

Harsh

I'm not his biggest fan by any stretch but I though the Hootenany was great last night

having to be at work for 7 am new years day ..only saving grace its double pay

I didn't see that

What a total ******* shambles

What for ?
I do think tjey give out knighthoods mbe etc fat too easy.

That's more than annoyed me.

For 'services to fashion'? Has she made the clothes in the U.K., providing jobs here? Not that I'm aware.

She's done a good job in USA flogging expensive clothes and apparently made loads of money from it. But that's her reward....why does it deserve a blooming honour?

Yesterday there were rumours her company hasn't filed accounts for 3 years....so does that mean they've been dodging paying tax here too? Nice.

being around drunk people when you're sober

christ they go on...

Darts twats singing 'stand up if you love the darts' at critical moments during the match. Sit down and shut the fvck up

The New Years Honours...a list of narcassists, exploiters and paedophiles.

God bless the Queen.

I watched "spice girls the movie" last night and found it funny, does that make me a wrong un?

Goes with ya username i spose:hmph:

Vloggers.....twats who make videos no one is interested in,about subjects no-one is interested in and then they become famous in their own minds.....I was not aware of this phenomenon until someone bought my daughter a Vloggers Annual.....

A young lady i know from Cyprus is a successful Vlogger.
Something to do with making food that looks like emoji's.

How, and why is it that the makers of alcohol make it taste better than ever on the day before you have to return to work?

Nearly tastes as good as the first day of your holiday :p

I've shown some willpower to have my first dry day for near on 3 weeks. Nearly buckled when a mate texted me about lunchtime and said he was going for his last pint or 3 before 2 weeks off it to watch the full times. Now sat here sober, the thought of getting up at quarter to 6 in the morning for the first time in 12 days and ploughing through the shite traffic on the M1 to Leeds is nearly more than I can bear. Should have gone and sunk 6 pints

Or move to Spain where we still have Kings Day to come so now work until the 9th for us. :D

You would probably be over the limit after 6 pints and an early morning drive, so you've done the right thing :)

Hope that's cheered you up a bit.

Not really but thanks for trying :D

Tomato juice and lime and soda for the next 2 weeks

'Kin joy of joys .....

Why two weeks?

I must admit I've hit it hard over the festive period having a few (and in a few of the nights much more than a few) every night. New Year's Eve I was on champagne all night and my midnight I went pale and started to have cold sweats. I figured that was my body saying 'enough for you kiddo' so not had a drink since. I was thinking of having a dry January. I only drink at weekends generally and never during the week but I guess I over did it for the best part of two weeks.

Got a couple of work do's and stuff which means a dry Jan won't happen. 2 weeks off the pop is enough for me. I like a glass of wine or 2 but will just have that and the odd beer at home but will stay out of the pub for most of Jan

Golf tomorrow followed by the match and then a bit of a lie in on Wednesday before I take the young lad to Lingfield for the day.

Still we've only been closed for three days over Christmas and I'm knackered.

And watch out for the 'odd' diet cokes that Yaya Toure is fond of!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...intentionally/

People insisting on telling everyone they are doing dry January, just do it, why assume we all care?
