Getting back to the scantily clad females, I really hate it when a woman/young girl wearing a belt/micro-skirt or whatever kind of mini skirt acts like she didn't mean to put it on or put it on by accident and spends all evening pretending to try and pull it down while trying to look slightly embarressed, I feel like saying, what did it shrink on the way to the club then, as I am sure it was that short when they put it on and checked it out in the mirror before they left the house.
Old women trying to dress young! women please age with class and dignity! You can still look sexy, without looking like an old slapper, tits hanging out and ar*** showing is not sexy if wobbling/swinging all over the place with a mind of their own, batty riders at 44-50 yrs old are seriously not sexy, (well not on the old bag I saw with the saddle bags for hips and cellulite!) Noooo.... put it away pleeeeease..........And the trowels of 3 inch makeup do not hide the lines, bags under eyes, serious crow feet, they accentuate them!

and any other pathetic unfunny over the hill entertainer, who cannot make me laugh and yet embarrass me enough to shout things like 'SHUTIT'.

Old comics would conveniently drop dead by the time they hit fifty, have they no shame now?

Or have they just lost their timing!

Bad manners on buses.


1) People who put their feet on the seats. You'd never do it at someone else's house, or even in a different public place like a cafe or pub, so why is it alright to do it on a bus?


2) Those who sit in the aisle seat and put their bags on the window seat, thereby signalling to others that they are anti-social and selfish.


3) Of a similar type are those who, when you need to get off the bus, only swivel round in their seat rather than standing up and letting you out properly. It is worse when you need to get into a seat and they do the same, and they're usually the kind of person who does 2).


And 4) People who stand on the lower deck but crowd round the narrow space between the entrance and the stairs. Move back you morons!



There. That feels better.

Amen on the buses points barry


my gripe - airport security. I have never ever ever bought into all of the "increased security" checks at airports since that thing in Nuevo Yorica happend - especially all of the hand-luggage 100 ml liquid stuff


Am I to really believe no-one had thought of these things before? Of course not


In any case, as of this week where some airports have relaxed these rules and some haven't, the whole thing is revealed as the shambles it really is


Now - can I keep my belt, shoes and dignity the next time I go through teh gates please?

Grrr. Airports. Going to Atlanta last year I was x-rayed, frisked, shoes x-rayed, frisked & bags searched at the gate, and then bags & shoes x-rayed getting off the plane!


The whole liquids & sharp objects (razors!) make it a real pain if your travelling anywhere for just a night or two. Then there's the one piece of carry on which depends on airport, airline, country & phase of the moon! Always handy if you're doing an overnight trip with a laptop.


I'll stop ranting now. I've really had enough of current airport security!! (6)

Agreed SMG - though airport security here is nothing compared to what we experienced coming out of Kenya a year ago. We went through several different procedures: your basic x-ray of luggage; someone then rummaging through check-in luggage; metal detectors and footwear bomb detectors; a pat-down search; and finally someone going through your hand luggage. And that's before you get through to duty free! You are then subject to a further scan/search just before you get on the plane. In all, about three hours of queueing.


Mind, coming out of the UAE last year was a breeze - straight through the x-rays and detectors and into the lounge - which is odd because one would have thought it a bigger target. Odd.

I've seen that mentioned by a few people on here (about YMs not being very Y) and have to take issue


First it's a shade mysoginistic and secondly it's untrue. Many of the mum's I see out and about seem very nice indeed.


And I've met several forumites who happen to be "mummies" as well who are well worth of the decription YM - so there

I didn't say it was - just suggested there was a shade/undercurrent. And not to your post but in way it's just TOO easy to reverse the phrase


And do you honestly observe none when you are out and about? High standards indeed that man


Kel - it probably varies from person to person. Some people expect Monica Belluci standard. Others are happy to anser the "would you?" question in the affirmative ;-)

People who stand in the supermarket queue for ages - then only when they have had their groceries put through the till - and bagged them do they start to look through there enormous handbag for their purse... spend ages, looking for it - checking every pocket.. pulling out all the junk for everyone to see - then finally locating it... Grrr - could they not have perhaps started looking for it whilst they were queuing..?!

Oh - and bus drivers who stop the bus directly next to a litter bin or tree so you have to negotiate getitng on or off the bus like an assualt course!

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.
