"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...

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?

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!

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
