Perhaps you should try reading signs before you park. It isn't terribly complicated and a fundamental of the highway code.

Is this about the new Waitrose?

I'm sure this had nothing to do with chillies. If Philip Schofield turned up at my place I'd probably burst into tears too.

They are quite annoying. They take a while to load and are then tedious to watch from beginning to end. I usually delete them now. Bah humbug.

Ricky Gervais is an unfunny twat.

There are several threads on this. It's due to re-open in February (obviously depending on their refurb schedule.)

Nigel Farage is a blithering idiot. That is all.

Yawn. I'd advise returning to the Daily Mail.

Parking's a nightmare everywhere. Nice road. Used to be Peckham but now it's East Dulwich.

You lost me at the phrase "nanny state". You might as well go the whole hog now and say "PC gone mad!"

I loved that bitch-off. That Sue sounds right proper looney tunes!

What's bizarre is this picking apart of someone on an internet forum and that this thread is still here.

The chances are that whoever it belongs to doesn't come on this forum. You should give it to the police now, whoever it belongs to is probably rather distressed.

I don't see why, in the case of this subject, all parents should feel criticised. I don't think anybody here has criticised ALL parents. If they have, they're an idiot. As I said before, common EDF misconception, which implies that it is taboo to make any comment on how the behaviour of some impacts on others.

There's a marked difference between a general dislike of children and a concern that some people just aren't very good at parenting. Not what many want to hear but true. It should also be said (yet again) that most parents are pretty good at this stuff, it's just the ones that aren't are very apparent.

This is a classic EDF misconception. I doubt many (if any) posters really have that opinion of children. Many here just think there are a fair number of crap parents around. There's quite a difference!

They are indeed a minority Otta but a sizeable one. Many, many parents are not at fault in this regard but enough of them are for it to be much more noticeable than it used to be.

Also agree with Loz unfortunately.

The first series wasn't fantastic though, it was just new and has worn thin very quickly.

Let's ban all fun. That way nobody will be kept awake, ever.
