As discussed with a not unlimited amount of bile in the half time of ladies football.


Just to get started....


Personally I hate it when you buy reduced items in the supermarket then they go through at full price meaning a) you have to highlight your cheapness to the operator and probably a superviser as well, or b) you end up with something you didnt really want but bought it because it is cheap and you have to eat it that very day (filled with resentment)


The trend for male genital shaving, stop it, stop it right now - I have experienced it a number of times this year and I just dont like it. If I wanted to caress a kiwi fruit I would go to the supermarket (probably in the reduced section)


Modern sandwiches, too much choice full stop. Enter sandwich shop, am stunned by rocket, brie, tapanade, honey roast breaded smoked ham so end up with Tuna and Sweetcorn to avoid filling meltdown. Tuna and fecking sweetcorn.

My gripe has to be child related, and I am a little reticent to write this, as being a non-parental, and can only imagine in my worst nightmares what it?s like. But...


Kids in Sainsburys!!!


All I want to do is go in there and trundle about with my mini-trolley, music on, my list in hand and do my shopping. But you just can?t seem to move for kids. But it?s not all kids in general that are the problem, it?s the fact that they just scurry about, crashing all over the place like it?s an indoor Goose Green Climbing Park!


Only the other day I had some little thing go crashing into my trolley (I was stationary) only to have her father glare at me as though I had hurt his poor precious. This was the same ?brat? had spent the last 30 minutes since I had been in Sainsburgs screaming ?I want..., No, I want...!? and running down aisles.


I know it?s hard to control kids, especially multiple kids. But these kids seem to think they own Sainsbury?s and it?s their own personal gym.


I would like to write more, but I think I might get a restraining order.

People who loose keys rather than lose them. The words even sound different!


The announcer at Denmark Hill who says that any train not stopping 'is not for customer use'. Actually, nine out of ten times it is. It's full of passengers. It's just 'not scheduled to stop at this station'.


Kiwi fruit... hmmm, I'm obviously meeting less fastidious blokes then!

"Some on here would consider that a result rather than an annus horribilis." Haha - indeed..


Kids running amok in places of business pisses me right off tbh - unless it's a creche of course. I was on a train one time with some pest of a parent whose child divided his journey between sitting in the luggage rack making the automatic doors openandcloseandopenandclose, crawling the length of the carriage under the seating emerging between people's feet, and marching up and down the corridor shouting 'the bigger it gets, the louder it is', right into people's faces. The mother was absolutely outraged to be told by the ticket collector to please restrain her child. 'Come along, Taliesin, some nasty people don't want you to have fun'. Taliesin, ffs..!

I hadn't realised this was such a trend, until a while back when it came up (no pun intended) in conversation, and 3 of my good friends admitted they did it, saying "it makes you look bigger". I think there is something rather disturbing about it.

There is, there is! Too much porn going on, that's what I blame it on Keef. First time I encountered it was on an ex (who was a porn journalist as it goes). But what with all this redpages and the like, people are getting carried away.


Men of Britain, take heed. We're not fooled into thinking it's bigger just because it scratches us to pieces. Stop it!

      Be careful in local shops

      By phil_the_rhythm · Posted

      There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
