Came across one of these in our new house earlier this year; I was looking for the washer until the whole cartridge came away!

Then, having checked the cost of replacement, it was exorbitant - £40! :eek:

Glad I checked Screwfix for possible OEM replacements and bought a set for under £5 and fitted the new one in a few minutes. :p

not if shes using her data

Very true. I must admit I didn’t think of that

I would sit behind her and join in the conversation, she would leave:

These stupid ******* PLF forms.

350 notes?! I think I'd rather talk to her.

Christmas adverts on the radio :(

Yes. They don't make it easy to join the Palestinian Liberation Front these days.
I failed the human shield test.

Just bought one of those tea towels for my head and they let me straight in.

Footballers/Managers who say ‘we will learn from that’.

Easier than getting back into the UK. And I bet they don’t mug you for £47 quid, either.

*****.

Wrong thread; should be on the Newcastle takeover thread?

People who say “like” between every phrase.

A verbal tick. Older generations say shiz like "y'know" and "ummmm".

Not if the word “like” is used as a substitute for the word “said”. That really grinds my gears.

My wife, deciding the moment I'm just leaving for work is the perfect time to start an in depth conversation on whatever is going on in her fevered brain that day.

Hearing Boris Johnson speak

Knowing Boris Johnson exists.

Boris Johnson

:supergrin: Mine does that.

My wife has a habit of the first thing she does when she gets up is to relay to me her dreams from the night.

Is there anything more boring than hearing about someone else's dreams?

People highlighting typos/alleged SPaG errors?

... when you go to the website of a company or product and find the "Contact Us" link which provides fill in blocks like name, email address and an area for a message or question.

Then they don't email you back.

You're slipping... that took you 2 minutes! :rolleyes:

:eek: OK. You win.

As is the way, an hour after posting this, they responded! :D

When you're reeling from having to have your beloved pet put to sleep during surgery only to be presented with the bill shortly afterwards. Certainly makes things a little raw doen't it.

Awful news.

So sorry to hear that. Felt the same when we had our dog put down, and they asked to settle up on the way out. Just wanted to get out of there, but found it pretty tough to hold it together.

I suspect they get a few people not paying up once they don’t have their pet anymore if they bill you later.

Had to go through this myself couple of years ago, but they asked me to settle up beforehand so we could leave straight after,
So sorry to hear you lost your pet mate, I’m sure you gave him/ her a great life!

People driving through red lights, the lights change and these people still fly through seconds after the lights are red.

People prepared to pay £595 to see Adele live in Hyde Park.
Why pay at all? Most recent divorcees I know are happy to drone on about it all night long for nothing.

Shouldn't annoy you If they are there wasting their money, they are nowhere in your vicinity. Win Win.

Whoosh.

:lux:

TV adverts all gone woke

my pronouns are...FFS

In what way?

The ones about alarm clocks?

The new John Lewis Christmas ad is getting a lot of flak from idiots because it (SHOCK HORROR) features a black family. (not saying that is what Rhiannapaul is referring to)

Drivers who set off and then put their seat belts on. Why not just do it before you set off?

What do you mean by 'woke'?

People who spit on the pavement

Dont go to China then.

See also: drivers that set off and then light up a cigarette whilst veering into the kerb.

Have you seen that recent Microsoft cringefest?

The BBC referring to Wilf as “former Manchester United player”. He played 2 games for them! It would make more sense to quote Cardiff.

Edit: just seen that this point has already been made in General Palace Discussion.

NEGATIVITY Those of you who dabble in this dark art are gonna die early, you know this right ?

:hi:

Oh man I get the whole thing about seatbelts, "clunk-click on every trip" and all that, but my little car beeps at me like a c**t within a second of pulling away, and keeps beeping if I take it off before I am completely stationary, and won't stop until I turn the engine off.

I purchased a seatbelt extender from eBay but I kept unplugging the extender rather than my seatbelt, and then my missus admonished me and said I was gambling with my life, then the whole assembly of it fell to bits in my hand and I realised that she was right :D :love:

Poor Workstrop

I made peace with it along time ago.

Fvcking international breaks

BT sport continually apologising for boxers using expletives at 10.30 at night. The bloke said shithouse. If you're offended by that F*ck off.

F u k off shithouse

Gallagher only being on loan ......

Bengs. Bloody bengs.

A draw half full of odd socks.
Where the **** have the other ones gone

Always under the bed

Mmmmmm...

I thought wcb would be osting his Murder She Wrote pic. But probably don't need any great detective work here...

They were spirited away at the dead of night to a parallel universe where they too are now searching for their other half.

My wife (Again).

We put the clocks back last night and this morning I changed the clocks on the stove and the microwave. (as well as about 5 others throughout the house)

Just now my comes says to me, "The clocks are a minute off". This coming from the person that has no sense of time and is always rushing around because she is "running late".

I go in the kitchen, and pull out my phone, and all three say the same time. Then the time on the phone changes, and about 20 seconds later the microwave changes, followed about 10 seconds later the stove clock... so at best they are 20 to 40 seconds off.

I change the microwave and the stove, and now they are "seconds" ahead of the real time. Basically it's impossible to sync them all.

Women eh?

I agree with her ; it's bloody irritating. My solution is only to have one of the clocks running and the others switched off.

Adverts during live tv sporting events

Ah, the old black electrical tape over the digital clock trick! :)

Er, no :D.


The old read the manual and find out how to turn the clock off trick.

Or try the "if you don't like how I've done it do it yourself" trick.

Don’t. It never works and usually makes things worse!

Crusty and wank stained under the bed ?

It does in terms.of them shutting the **** up and leaving me to get on with it.

That's his inflatable woman.

They say love is blind but some people are just plain stupid. In the end the banks had to pay it back but really should they have to when the person has been just stupid and naive? They even had to pay her back compensatory interest!
Was not Russ was it?

Who agrees to buy a house with a romantic partner they've never met?

Sophia, apparently.

I can never my head around these either. "When he asked for a further £50,000, Sophia decided it was time to question things"

No shit! The other thing is electronic money has to go somewhere the Banks on the surface do not seem to do anything much to track the cash down.

Fair enough, but don't try it with my wife!:p

Lonely, vulnerable people.

I think I did... but I'm such a wimp I ended up re-setting the clocks again.

They are now within 7 seconds of each other and the time on the phone.

If she wants it better than that, she really can do it herself! And in fairness she probably will... it's an OCD thing she has.

There is a bloke called Tim she could phone , he is pretty good on time and stuff.

Send me her number.

I’m not that cruel.

I think he's been put out to pasture...

Another staple of our youth killed off by the smartphone.

Looks like it's still available in various states and countries (incl the UK)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_clock

I suspect Tim is talking to himself...

I did read somewhere that the US one is run by the US Navy, and still receives millions of calls a year. Well it is America I guess, so would explain it.

Is that from people too lazy to just look at the time on their phone?

Or watch.


Watches tell the time; phone merely state it.

Not sure how popular smartphones are in the outback of the US, plus their watches are wind up with Micky Mouse hands...

Then again, I'm not sure why they would need to know what the actual time is to the second.

Do they not still just look up at the sun and say 'It will be dark in two hours, Billy Joe', like they did in the Westerns? Though how they measure 2 hours without a watch is a bit of a mystery.

It's in our blood Kemosabe...

:D :p

Sailors are a thick bunch.

Is that Maritime?

Very good!

Maybe more like the Swiss Navy...

I'm increasingly annoyed at the use of the term "decade" to signify a period of time in a way to give it some level of status or importance, or is just that the reporter / expert is too lazy to find out how long the event/person has been involved in the activity under discussion.
Count the times and variety of cases you hear the term.

Avocados!

Cut in to the gits too early and they’re hard and horrible tasting, get it a minute late and the sods are brown and inedible. ‘Ready and ripe’ - my f—king arse!

Motorists who just sit there gawping after I've flashed them to proceed.

What do you want, mate? A written, ******* invitation?

Webinars.

Staff meetings

My missus every time we park on our drive which is on a slope. I park up, put gearbox into park, apply handbrake and then when I release the footbrake the car moves 20mm as the brake and gearbox take up the slack.

Every time she goes "Oooooh" as if we are going to go careering down the poxy drive and end up in the neighbours front room in a fireball.
