"And me. Unfortunately my OCD means I have to read them to make the red numbers disappear. Can't we have an "ignore thread" button to make them go away for ever?"


DavidMc, get a grip, or you'll be turning light switches on 100 times before you can go to bed. Read the good threads, then resolutely go to the home page and hit 'Mark as Read'. That's how I control my OCD, anyway...


*carefully wipes drips off the table*

Coming up to the ticket barriers at any given station and the person in front of me only then decides to faff around in his / her pocket / wallet for their ticket which they then have to feed through the machine.. Did they not have the preceeding travel time to get their ticket or oyster out?? I am sure it doesnt bug anyone else really but it bugs the hell out of me...
That's really annoying and it has been mentioned before on here I think. Either that or they faff around for their change/pass/ticket when they get on the bus and hold the damned thing up while rummaging around in their handbag. I hate to say it but it always seems to be women.

Apparently that's the number 2 (tee hee) gripe among londoners, number one (snigger) being standing on the left on escalators.


I would add people who lug those ridiculous trolley things up stairs then stop at the top, regardless of how narrow and/or busy the stairs are, and proceed to pull out the little handle and place it down carefully before tottering off.


I can juuuuust about see the need for the larger ones when travelling proper, but do people really need to commute with the crappy little ones, REALLY?

and me


same's true for me at the cash point when there's a queue and people wait til they reach the front before looking for their wallet/purse/card

I am stamping my foot!

Days for this, days for that.... grandparents day; sausage day; days for Pandas, Lions and Bears.... you name it and there's a day for it.


And I have tolerated them all until now....


Today, standing in the post office (an annoyance in itself) watching that darn screen that feeds you information you don't want, it announces that October 1st is the International day of Older Persons.


My birthday.


It's as if the entire world intends to remind me that I am getting older. That's just rude.

BB - I'm sorry honey - that would wind me up too.


Someone sent me this today, I hope it's not a hint, otherwise I'll need to phone in sick on 14th Oct.


Slap Your Co-Worker Day is coming October 14th !!



October 14th is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday:

Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't care about?

Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty; you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY!


There are the rules you must follow:


* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.

* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the

same day.

* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their

turns slapping the irritant.

* No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with

a stapler or a hole-puncher.

* If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the

irritant], you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE!


Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of and get to slapping ?on October 14th.....and have a great slapping day!

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
