"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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
