This one's not that much of an annoyance, but it is petty: people who don't remove the stickers from the bottom of a new pair of shoes.


Yes, we can in fact all see the stickers when you're walking despite their being on the bottom of your shoe. And yes, it does make you look a bit silly. And lazy/forgetful/generally a little bit slack.

Are you never tempted to talk to these so called men like they were ikkle wikkle babies? Just to see how it goes down. Your post reminds me of the episode of Sex In The City where Samantha's squeeze baby talks in bed and she finds herself unable to, erm, enjoy herself.

Conformists who write phone numbers thus - 020 8xxx xxxx, or 020 7xxx xxxx.

As a traditionalist I've just got used to "ROD" becoming "701" before we start on the myriad of prefix changes...

In fact what have been the changes in Inner London since the glorious 1960's..starting with the letters..like "ROD"..?

Anyone?

After "rod" then "701" there was "071" then "0171" then "020" split between "0207/0208" now its "020 7701".

BRI (which was the Brixton exchange) became 274 and TOW (Townley) became 693. Both good Dulwich numbers by the way. God I'm getting old.


Back to petty annoyances though - people constantly rabbiting on the phone and not just on public transport which really does my head in. For instance, I have a girl in the office who is constantly talking fatuous boring crap all day long to her friends and family and I really don't want to hear it thank you very much.

      Is Starmer soon to be toast?

      By Rockets · Posted

      There clearly isn't one but this is a well trodden path that some of us, me included, have been on the receiving end of previously. Some people have been warned about this in the past but, seemingly, never learn.......

      Really? I made no comment on any of his facial features whatsoever. I observed that he was "expressionless" and suggested that  "if only his face could break out into a smile occasionally then that would help ". These observations refer to behavioural aspects  of Starmer's performance as he appears on the media. Where's the hate and where's the crime?
