Shakespeare did.

I listen to 6music all day when working from home which i love.
But the one thing that annoys me is Lauren Laverne saying "Hey music lover"
Now i know 6music can be up its own arse sometimes i can live with that, but that implies that they are the only station that plays good music.

Say what?

I've grown to love Lauren Laverne.

And is your Username a Weddoes reference?

I'd always assumed it was a Superman thing, but Dave Gedge and the gang seems more likely.

Yes it is.

Have you lost your love of life?

Yes it is

Too much apple pie

And now Harry's walked away with Johnny's wife.

Nice! First saw them in my Fresher's Week, Oct-88. Seen 'em a fair few times since, too :p

And another clique is born..........:D

Yes.. a classic story and example of lack of communication.

Parcels arriving in packaging that has the the company names and logos all over it. Its Christmas, shops have been closed so everyone is ordering presents online. May as well write on the box whats in it and completely ruin the surprise. 2 things I've ordered for my wife she has now guessed what they are as she took the delivery and the box completely gave it away. Now I've taken one she has ordered and its ruined my surprise as from the packaging I've guessed what it is.

Do the buttplugs hurt on the way out?

I will ask her :supergrin:

:)

Trolley etiquette. People want me to hand the trolley over but I use a token and have to explain it every time before returning it

That reminds me. The Wedding Present.

In my very early BBS days, I had the Bizarro cover as my avatar.

Any chance of having it back?

First time for me was about the same time, Town and Country late 88 I think. Plenty of times since.

Arrrggghhh !!!

Apologies for outburst! Went into spoons(Wetherspoons pub) earlier. With the lofty Intention of achieving 3 pints - lots of frustration and 2 hrs later ended up with 1pint a pizza �� and a plate of unwanted chicken bites ��

I wanted a little lie in. Instead, I am wide awake. Grrr.

those smug govt be prepared adverts for the end of transition....just piss right off.

Yeah absolutely how the **** can anyone prepare when, with less than a month to go we STILL don't know if there's a deal or not!? Absolute farce.

Should have gone for a curry and pint

Why only 1 pint and why did it take 2 hours? I wanted to do the same but I had a look on their app and it said that all pizzas were sold out so didn't bother.

DJ’s who talk over or cut off the end of “ ashes to ashes” :wallbash:

Waking up early for work and can't get back to sleep.Reading the BBS to find we are now called Crystal Palace BENTEKE(that actually made me laugh:D)

I guess it's what happens when you get old... I haven't been able to have a lie in for a few years now. At best an hour extra, but not a lot of sleep during that time... just laying there like a lug.

I think that is the system the group of 'trolley' operators used on here.

I get up early and go to bed late. I employ the late afternoon siesta routine. Even just 45 minutes.

They should have been honest.
'Be prepared to be f*cked, you will be f*cked, we are all f*cked, F**k off'.

Next years Nick Cave gigs all cancelled - I had tickets to see him in May, but it was rescheduled for April 2021 but now the whole tour has been binned :(

:D

Seems a bit premature with the vaccine and all that unless there is something more to it.

So did I. :wallbash:

Eldest son does the right thing and learns to ride his 125cc motorbike properly including an extra police safety course and takes his test. His reward for this diligence?


His insurance goes UP by £2 a month !

Annoying, but the reason is that he is likely to ride a lot more now than when he was a provisional driver.

He has been using it for a commute for the last year or so. Did the police course and found when he declared it, he lost half the insurers. So he simply stopped declaring. But as he says he should have saved the training, saved the cost of the test and just did his CBT every two years. Its like they WANT to put people of bikes.

If he's answering no to a specific question, when the real answer is yes, then that is a criminal offence.


If he's just not volunteering the information that's a different matter.

"PARKLIFE!"

Who's that snowflake moaning?
You should have a touch more resilience mate
Get some perspective.

Even more studio then. That you do the things you are encouraged to do and then you are penalised. The question is posed as you may get extra discount. I also think the police have a little more to do than chase people who may or may not have correctly or incorrectly ticked a box that may or may not be voluntary.

It’s not the police that chase it, but rather the insurance companies. If there is a claim then obviously the application gets examined in more detail. If there are any untruths on it then this is prosecuted as a criminal offence. And you can probably understand why, even if you don’t think your own case is relevant. This is all explained in detail on the small print on the policy.

But whatever you think about that, you will agree that insurance companies will do anything to get out of paying on a claim, especially when the application is invalid.

Pigeons etc.

Rookie mistake...

Getting half way through opening a can with can opener... before realising it had a ring pull top thing

WTF..:moo:

In my defence, it was a can of beans not a can of coke and the brand didn't used to have them.

To be fair, I "almost" did the same thing recently. This whole ring-pull on a can of beans is rather a new idea I fear.

:D

Pah. That's nothing the young Mineagles and I still have'nt got over the Palace downunder tour being cancelled.:sob::sob::sob:

Still waiting (or should I say hoping) for it to be rearranged - I didn't cancel our tickets, just in case.

:D

My daughter took her test for a 50cc, saved up for a scooter, found a decent 2nd hand one for 650€ , cheapest insurance....700€ for third party.

Moving house which appears to be a hobby as far as my wife is concerned. We have moved a few times I am getting use to it. However its the solicitors (apoligies to one on here) do they actually work for there client. Finding one that calls you updates you in fact do anything is getting impossible. Two weeks to send details to our solicitor because he is over worked is the sellers one excuse. Estate Agents dont get me started on that. We had offer within days great. Except the offer on his fell through. Though I only find out after chasing Estate Agent to find out why the delay. Seems his flat had issues with lease. It fell through three times before Estate Agent admitted it. There has to be a better way.
In the meantime I now do a fortnightly check on the chain. So at least I know what might be happening. Oh forgot the delight if searches and how long they take despite computerisation. The joys of insurance where it seems we insure against solicitors messing up despite the fact we pay them. Chancellory Insurance for churches being repaired and charging home owners. I am of the opinion that is up there with PPI. I thought all churches had to declare they may make claim yet without doing search solicitor has it on bill.
Hey ho....hopefully we will move soon.....

In my defense I was hiking up a mountain. Put sun block on before setting out. Hiked for 4-5 hours. My legs were well grilled. We’d done the same a couple of times in the last month without me getting burnt to a crisp.

Blimey. Take up fine art collection or racehorse breeding, it'll be cheaper.

I'm in the midst of moving. I'm sure there's a market for a service professional to project manage the transaction. I'm confident anyone who has been through a difficult sale/ purchase - which is pretty much everyone who has bought/ sold - would in hindsight happily pay to take the stress away from the situation and manage the moving parts.

In the spirit of the thread, my biggest annoyance right now is The Land Registry. There isn't a superlative that captures the scale of their incompetence.

Oh, and box labelling. Why would you scrawl 'KITCHEN' on a cardboard box, and not cross out the previously inked 'LIVING ROOM?' What the hell is wrong with people?

It's always the overcast days that get me. Should know better by now.

Firstly having to go to Lakeside after work to do more Christmas shopping with the wife and my two daughters. Secondly despite massive posters and signs everywhere telling people they have to wear face coverings or they will be asked to leave the shopping centre, people still do not wear them and are not challenged. Our traveller friends think that Covid does not effect them at all as none of them were wearing face covering at all.

Let’s keep fingers crossed.

Oof.

You Tube adverts trying to sell me an “Albion Christmas”. I think I’ll pass on that.

I'll just leave this for you to think about.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...uicides-report

If they are worried about deaths, stigmas, and discrimination they could help themselves a little by wearing masks.

Unless that story is a falsehood to provoke anti-reaction

One post from a BBSer and suddenly none of 'them' wear masks, and therefore 'they' are fair game? Could you imagine posting something similar about any other ethnic group? The study in the article is nothing to do with COVID or masks - it started before the pandemic.

Perhaps he was refering to this?


https://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...8416ce7aa48058

"Harrods was “overrun” by 300 young people without face masks thought to be members of the travelling community.

Worried onlookers described chaotic scenes that triggered fears of a terrorist attack as those gathered outside the luxury store tried to force their way in.

Photos show the large crowd – which gathered around 11.30am – crammed into a pedestrian street outside Harrods."

That's pretty pointless.:D

Perhaps he was. It still doesn't change anything I've posted.

I never said it did, I was just trying to put a bit of context towards it.

Pallet was referring to Lakeside and the inability of the travelers to wear a mask.They are the same around Basildon/Wickford,the stick they get is brought on themselves.Mob handed and flicking the bird to anyone who dares say anything.
Live by the sword,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Motorcyclists who simply can't filter in traffic and ignore etiquette to pull over and let other bikers through:jerkit:

Are they an ethnic group or just following a handed down lifestyle?

What about students on trains not wearing masks in groups..?

I wouldn't call their ethnicity much different to my chav family that have sponged off the state for 30 years. Their house doesn't have wheels except for those littered around the garden.

Irish and Romani travellers are legally recognised as an ethnic group.

IT changes a few things. Numbers and incidents...

If you could edit your posts by close of day...

What makes an Irish traveller different from someone who is Irish? Perhaps someone those parents or grandparents were travellers, bit they themselves have lived a more 'regular' life.

Anti-discriminatory legal status doesn't define ethnicity for me. Otherwise I could be legal classed as a c unt.

I see. So your definition of an ethnic group is “what Peter thinks” rather than having any actual basis in ethnographic fact.

As today is international human rights day, I'll leave this here for you to peruse. https://www.paveepoint.ie/
You're welcome.

In my experience you would need to be pretty brave to abuse an Irish Traveller.

It's easier if you are in Chile I guess.

Just to be clear I was in Lakeside last night and 70 % of people were wearing face coverings. Every traveller i saw about 4 different groups, none were wearing face coverings. The others wete mainly mid twenties. The Hattods story just helps prove the point.

Having to buy a pack of 3 Glue Sticks when the last single stick I bought lasted me about 15 years.

Given your advancing years you will have misplaced them by next Tuesday and posting about it on here by Wednesday

There is that... hate when that happens.

At 65 I'm certainly no dedicated follower of fashion, but it is annoying that when buying new jeans (regular fit for the "older" man) that a 34 inch inside leg seems too long, and a 32 inch inside leg seems too short. I guess the freak of nature I am needs a 33 inch inside leg, which obviously they don't do.

I could get a 34 shortened at a tailor I guess, but previous attempts at doing this never looked right.

Amazing what a difference 2 inches makes (said the actress to the vicar!).

Do turn ups and glue them with one of your many glue sticks.

oh dear

Some travellers tried to get into my friends house once when he was a kid, pretending to be a gas man. They tried to force the door open and it was just mum and him so he picked up the nearest thing (hockey stick) and decided to whack one round the head and get the door shut. Feeling relieved, he called the police and didnt think anything else about it.

He was burgled 7 times in 3 years, they tried to blow up is mums car via the petrol cap and even followed him to school.

Terrifying experience.

I'm convinced my inside leg measurements have always been odd numbers ie. 29, 31, 33 inches. Only place I can remember getting those sizes was Dickie Dirts? Used to be in the old cinema in Denmark Hill.

That's why we love you Pete... That made me LOL! :D

I suspect I have a mix of all sorts in my DNA, as we all.

Considering we supposedly all migrated out of Africa and all have that in our DNA, I suggest you stick your ethnological facts up your black arse.

Again let's stick to facts rather th:rolleyes:e your general silliness:.

Where have I abused travellers other than suggesting they could help their own cause by wearing masks more often. Complying for once.

As you know nearly everything, I will help you get to 100%. There are traveller communities un Chile, too.

Being descended from ‘Irish Travellers’ I do get annoyed about the generalities put about
There is much hostility from the outset as the term is immediately stigmatised.
Whenever I do mention the fact to those who Are castigating the travelling community ,many then say well they are not all bad. Exactly , as with many other groups.

You owe me a mouthful of Coors Lite (I'm doing low carb, not my fault)

Sorry if you find facts uncomfortable. But abuse doesn’t make you any more right than you were before.

As a bloke of a similar age, albeit slightly ahead, I reckon at our age it's time to ditch the jeans and go for very smart gentleman whether formal or casual. This savs us from being an old git trying too hard and slipping slowly into beige obscurity.
