A very Spanish trait.

Waiting all day for the email to confirm if you're being made redundant when you know they'll send it around 8pm when everyone has gone home.

The thomas cook one on the way out was like a huge stag/hen flight. Note to brain: never fly with Thomas Cook again.

I think that it is great and useful as it alerts me to the fact that I can open my eyes and start breathing again. I don't join in with the clapping though, usually just restricting myself to tears of joy, relief and thanks.

Do you weep with joy, relief and thanks every time you safely complete a car journey? If you don't, based on your reaction to flying safely, you should.

Depends who's driving.

People who clap when trains turn up on time:angel:

Wankers.

Watched a bit of that last night. Ungrateful cow tried to turn down a 2nd floor 2 bed flat, claimed it was too high up and she couldn't stand heights.

Didn't see the end but programme was saying it was her one offer, and if she turned it down, she'd be classed as making herself homeless. No doubt her having a kid, the Council probably backed down and gave her a house.

All this whilst they also showed an elderly bloke refused any help having to live as a homeless person and sleep in public toilets :(

On our local radio station they have a competition called "what's in the box". No clues no nothing just guess. Blatant moneyaking scam and winds me up way more than it should do every time its on or advertised.

Similar to 'win a new telly! Just phone in your answer: what type of animal goes moo?

A) ant
B) fish
C) cow

Calls cost £2.50 per minute

Russians do it too. Mind you I think that's more out of relief than anything :)

They should salute.

As long as you don't join in with the clapping. My mum hates flying, so imagine her joy when her flight from Aberdeen to Cyprus got diverted to Edinburgh because of a technical fault. She was so pissed by the time she got to Cyprus she could barely get off the plane.

I have NEVER heard anyone clap on landing.

:D

On US airlines when travelling from Europe to the US.

On Aeroflot when landing safely in Moscow - was an ancient Iluyshin.

And on Ukraine International when landing in Simferopol after a bumpy flight from Frankfurt.

Not always down to how much people have had to drink either :D

People getting sand in their vaginas about Big Ben not chiming for a few years while it is being renovated. Does anyone other than the daily mail give a shit?

I stick my hand out the window and high 5 every passenger on the platform

Next time you do it and Popey is on the platform can you just lower your hand a bit and give him one round his tab 'ole

TIA

Must be like scoring a goal at the Holmesdale End :)

I never run to time so all I see is dourness.

Nothing to do with running on time or not, it cos they see your ugly mug come into focus. Oh, and cos their scotchlanders

Masterchef. It's on more times throughout the year than bloody dfs sales.

Masterchef
Celebrity masterchef
Masterchef the professionals

**** off

:) the big England flag hanging out the window might have something to do with it too. One day the doors will open and they'll be able to get on and everything.

:supergrin::lux:

Freaks

Well fire actually, but freaks works just as well. Especially if you've been sat in front of a screaming infant or some fat bastard pulling the back of your seat every time they want to get up for five bleedin hours.

When we landed in Jamaica a couple of rows at the back broke into "praise Jesus" songs

Joel Ward and his missus?

The way that A level results day is covered on TV.

They always put together a group of teachers pets who you know have at least achieved the results the were hoping for before they open their envelopes. Looking all smart and well groomed they have the reserve not to do a fist pump while exclaiming 'get the **** in' live on air.

Where are the scruffy back of the class types with a **** you attitude?

Follow up to a post yesterday - caught the last couple of minutes of 'How to get a Council House' on some Channel 5 catch up channel last night. The homeless elderly bloke got unexpectedly offered a 2nd floor flat and was almost in tears, as he couldn't believe how lucky he was and was sure he could rebuild his life again. Well pleased.

On the 'things that annoy you' subject. Bloke on a train into Dorking shaving, yes shaving, with an electric shaver. I know I was the only other person on the carriage, but really! What next, picking your nose and eating it?

Similar to above people participating in conference calls on a train for over an hour.

The fact that they show it at all gets my goat. Who cares apart from themselves, family & friends?

They do it for those golden moments when someone doesn't get the mark they want, and you can watch their precious little hearts break live on television.

Oh Lord, we're taking our nearly 3 year old toddler on an aeroplane for the first time in a couple of weeks for a 4 hour flight and this is my nightmare (for other passengers, not me)!

Gwyneth Paltrow's Head?

:D

A baby fox they'll fvck and eat?

And then there is the growing trend of people watching stuff on their phones or iPads without using headphones. Seems to usually involve children - they obviously don't want their darling sprogs to hurt their ears but don't mind subjecting the whole carriage to inane dialogue and really annoying music.

It's started happening on the bus as well. You're on the 194 to West Croydon at 6:40am - you don't need to watch a film.

So working for the British Library was just a cover story for your real job in MI6? :supergrin:

Im sure everyone accepts the odd bit of whinging after being used to the bbs, but at least most people wander up and down the plane with them till they nod off. I'd have a separate section for them personally. Somewhere up the front where they could annoy the posh twats.

I'd put them in cargo. What's the point of paying for a flat bed so that you can have a good night's sleep if you're kept awake by a baby for eight hours?

From the look of it, they all go on You Tube and cry.

Actually, that's not a bad idea having a 'children' section. Children could also then play together and amuse each other without pissing off other travellers.

Did you not take your children on holidays when they were young Maz? (genuine question. not snidey)

Not on his first plane until c.10.

We often used to leave him with his grandparents when we went on holiday. They loved it, and he really loved it.

Looking back on it it was a good idea; I think kids need holidays from parents every now and then!

:D

Things threads.

People who leave their roadside car doors wide open while they fvck about. Go round the other side and reach over ya lazy fvcks.

Government Gateway-thingy accounts.

Tried to create one to check on my potential pension. Lets me open one, gave me my 12-digit user-id and also a top secret access code that they will apparently destroy after each visit (will self-destruct in six seconds?) and then denied me access because I failed their security checks :veryangry :veryangry. Apparently they know more about me than I do, but quite what I have no idea :D. Big Brother truly is watching...

Gave up and rang a human being and got a sensible answer, even though he was a Geordie and I only got one word in three at first.

The woman in the cafe the other day droning on about that she'd accidentally bought the Mail instead of the Express,what's the fricking difference?!

About 50p.

Girly mods who haven't got the guts to ban me for more than 2 hours...and then whine because I didn't notice.

That is especially bad thing to do in The UK!

It even pisses me off here in the US where the roads are all as wide as motorways even in the back streets!

The Americanisation of audiences here that 'Woop', clap and cheer constantly during debates. It's such an annoying insincere childish show of appreciation. The need to express their enjoyment or agreement every bloody second in this pathetic way makes me cringe.

Watch an old Question Time from the 80's say, compared to now...when did we become these mindlessly noisey gushing idiots?

And when did it become exceptable to applaud your own achievements?

Seagulls. In a literal sense.

There's a ******* massive one which has taken up residence in our car park at work. I work in Leicester, the most landlocked city in the country. What the **** are you doing there, you tosser?

Yesterday it was strutting about in my parking space as I pulled in, giving me the eye before reluctantly doing that half-flying, half walking thing they do to half-heartedly avoid my onrushing vehicle.

I've a good mind to hire an eagle for the day and then sit back and enjoy the show as the eagle rips that ****** to shreds.

Let it out mate, let it out :D

Bicarb in bread. Messy, but satisfying

They are fecking everywhere now, miles from the sea. None in Cyprus though, happily. You want to hope it doesnt have young near your car. They are right aggressive feckers sometimes. Like the bbs, we need a cull of the *****.

Brilliant

Getting a boil on the arse just before driving to Cornwall

At least you will have the satisfaction when you manage to get your fingers around it and squeeze the pus out - BLISS, (with added yuck!)

Things that annoy you
 

Our Labrador dog. The mutt sleeps next to us by the side of the bed. In the middle of the night he hears the most innocent and slightest of noise and barks(F--KING LOUDLY) causing us to jump out of our skin whilst being asleep, heart pumping, sweating, eyeballs popping out of our head and all - GIT!

Indeed - as it was I was safe. 30% of my team not so lucky. My email arrived around 19:30.

Two way streets in the back roads of London, when it is a no brainer to make them one way. Plenty of parallel roads to make this workable. All parking spaces are nowadays taken up and there is barely room for one car never mind two. Nobody wants to give way anymore. The days of giving way and getting a friendly wave or the flash of the headlights have been replaced by stand-offs and wannabee tough guys giving the finger. As someone who lives in New York but visits london regularly I can honestly say that as New Yorkers have gradually shed their rude reputation and acquired more manners, Londoners seem to have become what New Yorkers were like 30 years ago.

Just a thought

Put the fecker in the kitchen ??

People who randomly bump threads trying to be funny. The thing is no one gets the joke.

I've noticed on my last two visits back to the UK people are a little horn happy too.

I'm ******* lost you ass hole... you honking ain't going to make be suddenly know where I have to go! :rolleyes:

Wanker :rolleyes:

Yes! Yesterday some tosser behind honked me as I sat waiting for a chance from on coming traffic to turn right. Think he felt I didn't take a risk turning when a small opportunity appeared. Never take risks when I've got my little-un in the back. Anyway, once I did turn down this side road I noticed he was behind me so proceeded to go at snails pace for about 30 secs and enjoyed watching the steam coming from his ears from my rear view mirror.

Sky Sports Main Event, which last night decided the main event of the evening was women's golf, and not the test match

Bless.

We used to do that and then there was a storm in the night. He was so scared he ripped up the flooring and damaged the door and door frame trying to get out the kitchen costing us hundreds of pounds. Didn't want to risk it happening again.

Leave it in the garden. My dogs never come in the house and they haven't died.

The post office. Lets not post anything through a letterbox and send it all back to the post office. Then only put one member of staff at the counter on a Saturday morning when everyone goes.

The price of Cinema tickets no wonder Netflix and Amazon are doing so well. Paid over £60 today for 5 of us to see the rubbish that is Spiderman Homecoming (my appreciation of the film was not aided by it taking about 45 minutes for me to realise it wasn't meant to be a sequel to The Amazing Spider man.

Oh and another thing drivers who think that using hazard wwarning lights means you can drive like a total selfish prick

Let him in the bed,he'll sleep thru any noise! ;)

My pet annoyance! Defenition of insecurity if ever there was one.

Assuming you have always looked after him and protected him from possible danger, now he is bigger , older & Bolder, he is now returning the compliment the best he knows how. Gotta love Labs

About 3 quid here for the same experience. 6 quid for Premium with the sofa seats (and food waitress service extra)

Where you going to see movies for 2 and1/2 luka?
I went to see Dunkirk the other day (admittedly in IMAX) and it cost 6 lukas

Karlie bleedin Kloss
Everytime I go on Youtube :frown:

Hole in the popcorn bucket ?

6 Lukas. We do need cover for him, but that would he a bit excessive.

5€ here, great value.

People( generally women,it has to be said) who on meeting each other,madly hug each other,even though they last met a couple of days previously.
The supposedly hilarious flirting between male celebrities and The Governess on The Chase,which is in fact,cringy.

Bed slats that collapse when you decide to turn over in the middle of the night. :veryangry

Yep, had him from pup. He's now 4, big and doesn't appear to like anyone now bar us. In some ways it's nice, but in others it's not. He can sniff a person coming near the house a mile away and by George does he let us know! I know he's protecting he's own and his house but he needs to chill a bit.

You sure it's not the caps on the end Rob. We had numerous nights of rattling around thinking the slats were broken before we lifted the mattress to find the plastic caps broken. Small amount for new caps found on eBay.

loool... thats pee'd me off so much, ive given up on a bed frame and im buying a diven.

Shouldn't be such a tub o' lard

Haha. I am actually a big lad but not quite that fecking big. Yet!! :p

The bearing on each slat is ridiculously small. About 4 or 5 mill. It only happens every couple of months where they obviously move but it's fecking annoying. Screwed them all down today so hopefully that does the trick..thanks for the advice.

:supergrin:

Wait, your currency is the Luka?? Chile sounds great.
