Zould be easier to just auit...

Annoying me this morning?

Nothing!:lux:

If I could be picky. Arteta apologising to Arsenal fans is just another way of saying that we only won becaus per Arsenal were awful.

I'm with you here. Last night was special enough just to see Aki again :)

Where's grumpy Gold gone? Is he just saving his gripes up so he can make a list?

**You've won a free Lotto Lucky Dip**

Great! Thanks for telling me I've lost and you're rubbing it in by letting me lose again, for free :wallbash:

Some guff with Ross Kemp, team of dimits just failed to win a prize jackpot of £640

What was the ******* point, £200 each, won't pay the gas bill..

Usually get the automated one telling me I've won

log in and it's £2.40..

:wallbash:

Those were the days!

People who slam their Boris Bike into the bracket with as much force and noise as possible without dismounting. Oooh, what a show of bravado.

Probably the same tossers who rode through every red light, pedesrtian crossing and along every pavement to get there.

That muppet on arse tv calling us nobodies. From a bloke who dress like a 4 year old

The dickhead cyclist that almost hit me as he ran a red light.
Managed to get hold of his backpack though.

Maybe not, but that’s pretty nearly a tankful right there.

"annoy" no, ******* angry yes....the scum who decided that throwing 7 young pups into our local river and watching them drown was better than taking them to the local pound or dog sanctuary.

My 17 year old daughter pulled them out whilst walking our dog today, she is distraught and can't believe peoples cruelty and neither can I. This world is full of shits that dont deserve to draw another breath.

Ffs . There are C nuts the world over but Spain has a terrible rep. Look at all the Hunters and their Galgos that they hang at the end of each season. Hopefully younger generations come through and stop this barbaric practice.

******* hell that is horrible. Absolute scum, what sort of freak would you have to be to do that.

So sorry for your daughters sake buddy there’s some ******* nasty scum out there.

a lot of tht here. Everywhere really. Look at the numbnuts that got pandemic pets. Vacuous twats that act on impulse and don't do responsibiility. I recently shared Les's story about the Canadian 'friends' that gave up their dog of 7 years for a cheap pandemic breaking holiday. They all refer to themselves as animal lovers, I'm sure.

EDF.

My unit charge has been hiked by 130% - a combination of being on low fixed tariff previously and chosing to fix for the future (which incurred an extra hike).
And daily standing charge also increased by 75%. How do they justify that??

It's nothing short of legalised robbery. Luckily I don't use that much power. The only consolation is that my monthly cost is still 'only' around what I was paying two years ago in my old property on my key meter with British Gas :D

What was in it ?!

One thing that really grinds my gears is those awful airports that design a zig-zagging duty-free shop that you have to walk around before getting to the main departure areas. If I want to buy some alcohol, perfume or chocolates, I'm quite happy to go and find them, rather than have to walk through some awful contrived arcade full of dawdling simpletons.

There's plenty of shops that do that too

Today I was reminded how annoyed I get with people who put hand towels in the dispenser upside down. It really isn't hard to put them in the right way round!

Pink chinos and some legal docs

Unlikely. Such items and (bad) cycling are incompatible.

Yes, just done one of these for Paypal

To be fair, the lady I spoke to was helpful so I gave her a nice write up.

I'm always nice to call centre staff, as I work in customer service so I deal with grumpy old ***** all the time.

Yes I know, I'm a grumpy old **** too

Call centre staff are responsible for my high blood pressure I’m sure. I have just had to deal with Hotels.com and they simply don’t have a clue. Complete idiots and based, from the accents, in the Philippines. On the other hand I dealt with first direct (Uk) and Virgin (South Africa/Africa) and they have been outstanding. Indian ones others that invariably leads me to :wallbash:

Without going old Johnny soap box, I think the stat was you can employ 3 (foreign) call centre staff for the price of one Uk one.

On one of those home renovation type shows here, there is a husband and wife team who when the guy is talking to his wife begins or ends every sentence with "Babe", and her in reply will also begin or end the sentence with "Babe".

Probably says more about me, but after 37 years of being married I can categorically state I have never called my wife "Babe" nor she me.

Cringeworthy...

And still they put you on hold due to “exceptional demand” every time.

People who keep saying “inflation” without the understanding of what it is.

They like to big themselves up

IKEA is another kind of hell.

Wankers that cannot pick up their dogs turds in the park where children play and think its alright for the shit machine to jump up on someone with muddy paws sitting down trying to have a bit of peace and quiet .

This is the sort of thing that makes me think the humans have had their shot, and it's now time to hand over to another species.

Let the ants have a crack or something - they do seem quite organised.

If you know how, you can shortcut your way out of that miserable experience.

Sainsbury's

Keep giving me till offers for "£18 off when you spend £60 on your first online order"

1. I have never spent £60 in one hit ever (apart from when I bought a load of Easter Eggs -even then it was under £50), and I never will. £25 max. Check with your Big Brother tills.
2. I like to see what I am getting.
3. I can substitute sensibly if I shop in person.
4. I don't want to sit around awaiting their convenience to deliver.

I shall stay on the bus and give Tescos a try. Maybe they are better value and have more tills open. And don't get me started on self-service tills :veryangry. Nectar points are worth diddly squat these days, so there is little incentive any more. I will probably stop using Nectar to stop them spying on me.

:eek:

I live alone, and the last 10 years of living on Universal Credit/Incapacity Benefits and latterly my pensions, I have learned to live carefully. One 'big' shop weekly and the occasional 'top-up' suffices. I don't drive any more, so I am limited to what I can carry. No big deal - it is enough. I don't feel deprived at all.

1. I have never spent £60 in one hit ever (apart from when I bought a load of Easter Eggs -even then it was under £50), and I never will. £25 max. Check with your Big Brother tills.

THIER DATA SAYS YOU POP IN AND SPEND THE ODD £20 SO THEY ASSUME YOU DO A WEEKLY SHOP ELSEWHERE. HENCE THE OFFER TO NOT INCENTIVISE WHAT YOU ALREADY DO BUT TO TRY AND GET YOU TO SHOP BIG THERE.

2. I like to see what I am getting.

OK, BUT ONLINE SHOPPING HAS REALLY INCREASED.

3. I can substitute sensibly if I shop in person.

THERES A NO SUBSTITUTE BUTTON.

4. I don't want to sit around awaiting their convenience to deliver.

YOU DONT WANT TO EITHER PICK UP AT A CONVENIENT TIME AND HAVE IT DELIVERED TO YOUR CAR, OR BOOK A 30 min SLOT WHEN YOU’RE IN.

This is like me moaning that Rita Ora only sleeps with guys that wear Old Spice aftershave, and bemoaning the fact I don’t like the smell, it’s not stocked in Superdrug and the bottle is a weird shape.

I'm not normal!!! :D

Rita does go freakin' crazy at a whiff of Old Spice to be fair

So, not my Hai Karate then? :(

Splash it all over.

Getting a very authentic looking email from Amazon (not), saying there is a problem with my recent purchase processing the credit card information on file, and to follow this link etc.

The fact I haven't bought anything on Amazon for a while made me suspicious, and also looking at the senders email address gave it away.

The email even had ads in it with offers all Amazon related. Very well done.

Bastards...

I'm more of a Blue Stratos man myself :sunglasses:

Also the wind, keeps blowing everything over outside.
Boring

Not unless you're also wearing Denim

Greed and being ripped off. Service stations charging £1.91 for a litre of desiel

Same here.

Is it a global warming thing? I don't ever remember the wind being so prevalent 10 years ago. Yes, occasional bad days, but at least here it is pretty much 365 days a year now.

1980s mens supermarket aftershaves no longer being a thing

People that learn a (not so interesting) piece of trivia and then repeat it ad nauseam, assuming that you've never heard it before.
Yes, I do know that you should not pour boiling water directly onto tea leaves. But you drink PG Tips, with 3 sugars, so knock it on the head you annoying t**t.

LinkedIn wankers.

Agree?

Yes.

I woke at 5am and did three hours work because you need to hustle.

At 6am I meditated for two hours because mental health is important.

At 7am I harvested wild berries for my breakfast because you are what you eat and this race car needs the best fuel.

At 8am I ran a double marathon because a healthy body means a healthy mind.

By 9am I'd signed two contacts with four of the world's largest companies.

At 10am I bought myself a new Ferrari as a reward.

#Winning #Hustler #Success

Spot on.

Add to that the myriad of stories that didn't happen, the copied post about letting your staff work in a garage or something, the story about seeing a homeless crackhead on the street who's now your CEO, the endless polls about whether you want to work from home or the office and that weird he/her she/him pronoun thing - dude, your profile pic is of a bloke with a ******* great lumberjack beard. If I was going to refer to you in a post (which I'm not as LinkedIn is purely about me), I reckon I could pretty easily Guess you're a bloke.

Moved in to a new gaff 2 months ago, almost to the day.
The house is 2-3 years old.
Noticed water in the front yard - checked each sector in the house, turned off all the water, meter still spinning....figured it's somewhere between the street and the house (logical - that's where it's wet).

Will need destroying stuff and digging to fix :grrr:

Just had my smart meter relinked after 18 months. Finding out my 14 month old fridge freezer has been burning 90 to £1 a day making or not making ******* ice

It looks like it warms everything up a bit to tip the ice cubes out wtf does it even if the buckets full.

Not only that but the finer frozen stuff ends up in clumps where water crystallizes

Bit gutted. My nephew visited last Sunday day and topic of water leaks cropped up. I explained that we hadn’t had a leak but I had screwed up and drenched a chunk of the the kitchen ceiling a few years back. We have one of those waterfall taps over a ‘bowl sink’ in our en-suite with a joystick like tap. It has got a bit stiffer since install and if you don’t get it central it won’t push right to the top. The water will keep running but so slowly that it eventually runs back under the horizontal waterfall bit and onto the worktop, missing the sink/bowl thingy. Weird but true. If you don’t notice it would soon flow onto the floor, through the ceiling and drips from the light fittings in the kitchen.

So done it just the once and last time was 2 years ago and mentioned it on Sunday for first time to family ……. Did it again yesterday! No words……., well none that are repeatable.

Jamie Carragher’s fooking ADDICTED to ‘going forward’ which is exactly what his flob did on that motorway.

*Random, no context picture*

I hate shopping, but usually do one big online shop a month, despite their constant **** ups, Tesco represent good value, you get more for your money.

I used to do Sainsbury's, about £100 (As delivery is free) but during first lockdown loadsa stuff missing and no replacements, which meant I had to go to the bleedin store anyway which kinda defeated the object!

As a shopping aside, I did venture to Aldi in Nantwich the other week, got a basket under £20

It's a shame the budget supermarket's don't deliver.

Rita likes Denim

I closed down faceache 5 years ago, but getting loadsa spoof emails from them..

I do use Amazon and have paypal (don't really use it, but they gave me £5 for shits and giggles the other day)

I really think those who try to defraud this way should get either a) sued by the company for ££££'s or b) banged up for 5 years.

I know there are gullible ***** out there who fall for it, but even so..

Brut and old spice still a thing

Denim, Blue Stratos and insignia probably not

I remember years ago spraying some "musk" type thing, the ex wasn't impressed

I'm annoyed at myself for wanting the wankers to win today.

I feel dirty

Same, but actually worse as I chucked a free bet on them.

Can you imagine that, wanting the wankers to win and betting on them?

I'm double dirty

Yep. Wifey virtually lives on Facebook. Last week she saw a post offering a liquidation sale of Dyson hairdryers for £2 so decided it was a good bargain and bought one. Within five minutes we had Tesco Bank on the phone querying a fraudulent activity and wanting to cancel our cards. I don't know who I was more annoyed at.

When fixtures are changed to a Sunday and the game is not on the TV.

:veryangry

Surely the fact that a £330 hairdryer was being sold for £2 should have been a bit of a clue? :D

Hope she then got the hairdryer from you - for free.

people hogging both lanes at 2 lane junctions

According to idiots at the BBC “the birth” of a wild sea eagle has been caught on camera for the first time.

Since when have eagles given birth?

Usually in SUVs.
Because the drivers of those things possess absolutely no spatial awareness and/or are inconsiderate c*nts.

Yep. I have serious doubts out next week's semi final as well. TV here didn't show our Monday nighter vs M City, and there weren't any other games on in the big leagues. Found a slot for Watford Leeds, though. bielsa has gone you argie bell-ends.

A fair few have posted up their good news on here.

That results of other teams never seem to go the way I want. Newcastle gos on a run and saves themselves. Wankers can’t even beat Everton and even the Arse lost to the Carrier bags. Still small mercy with Leeds thumping Twatford but even then I feel for Roy.

Idiots reviewing expensive burger joints, commenting that all the toppings and milkshake additions are free.
You f*cking mugs.

:supergrin:

Offers like that usually turn out to be hot air.

There's a programme on the BBC (iPlayer) where they have apparently hacked into a scammer call center in India, and can hear/see the calls being made. Makes my blood boil, especially when the victims are elderly, and the scammers know this :veryangry

On youtube there are clips of people who hack the scammers and delete their files. Entertaining viewing when the ***** realise they have been ****ed back,

The crying with laughter emoji on Twitter.

The mark of a ****.

:sob:

I've spent all my working life believing that ISO stood for International Standards Organization... Apparently I was wrong and it stands for In Search Of in text/Twitter/Facebook speak.

Should be in the Things I have learnt today thread. Stop trying to catch up with Maidstoned's tally on this thread, you just have to accept you can't.:frown:

It's good to have a target in life.

What do we want in a football rivalry match. Drama. Bitterness. Gloating. Gamesmanship. Edge.
What do we get with the latest hyped Liverpool/Man City media wankfest? 'we are great rivals but also we are also great friends and respect each other', 'its like two heavyweight professional boxers in a classic bout', 'whatever happens, football is the winner today' alongside endless pictures of the opposing players and managers hugging and laughing with each other.
BORING WANKY SHIT

Sainsburys Red Chillies and their inpredictabilty. One week they'll be no hotter than a standard bell pepper and no matter how many you through in a dish you won't feel them. The following week you'll throw the same amount as the week before and they'll be fierce. I'm fine with that but the mrs, not so much

Doesn't make you popular if you grope their ladygarden after chopping them either.

Another fallout from Brexit.

Boris
Sunak
The Tories

The ******* media thinking the SF is a foregone conclusion, with our inclusion a mere afterthought..

Makes a victory all the sweeter

Now I appreciate the English language is a pain in the butt to learn, in fact despite speaking it (allegedly) for some 65 years, I’m still learning new words and corrected pronunciations, but this morning I thought I would teach myself the Spanish word for “Windy” so I could impress the cleaning lady who is coming today and is from El Salvador (I should add that it is very windy and preventing me from going out riding my bike which I usually do when she is here to get out the way… I digress). Anyway, the word is apparently “Ventoso” (male) or “Ventosa” (female). What makes wind male or female is probably another whole post! CT_Palace explained it to me once, but it obviously didn’t stick… much like the word Ventoso won’t.

Having said all that, I thought maybe I should tell her it’s “Too windy” rather than just “Windy”, so I look it up. What the hell, the word “Too” is some bloody 5 or 6 syllable word that I can’t begin to learn before she gets here “demasiado”.

Her English is very good… maybe I should just tell her it’s too windy to ride my bike… I think she’ll understand. Usually when I try new Spanish words out on her, she looks at me blank – I end up saying it in English and she says a knowing “Ah” and corrects me with a word that sounds nothing like the word I’ve just attempted to learn!

Old dog and new tricks comes to mind…

:supergrin:

Can I suggest: hay mucho viento
(Pronunciation help - hay is pronounced like "eye" and dont do the gringo thing and pronounce the o's as "oh" - the correct pronunciation is the same as the o in orange.)

Well yes... thanks. I saw some of that when I was looking it up.

She just arrived, and seemed to understand me, but also said another word which I didn't catch while doing that "so so" hand gesture.

(Bloody something about "bloody idiot")

P.S. Sorry I called you CT_Eagle... See I can't even get my English sorted out :eek:

Oh.. and the ventoso or ventosa bit depends on what is windy... in your example - "the day is windy" it's the day that is windy and day is a masculine word - el dia - so the windy bit needs to be masculine as well: El dia esta ventoso . Whereas if you were describing say, the mountain is windy, mountain is feminine so windy needs to be feminine too: La montaña es ventosa.

The eagle eyed might notice why "is" is esta in the first example and es in the second, but it's probably best if we dont go there today.

^ Probably for the best. :D
