Yes! I hate it too. There was nothing wrong with the old one. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

sitting opposite a woman on the bus and she proceeded to take a very large corn on the cob out of her bag and gnash her way through it from end to end, without a care in the world, dropping bits all over herself and the bus floor. I watched in amazement longing for my supper.

People who see such behaviour and do 0 about it.

I want to know if this cob was cooked or not, was it grilled or boiled? Was it buttered? The thought of her nibbling (gnashing) on a raw 'ear' (with a nod of sympathy to certain ex heavyweight champions) makes my cheeky nibble of pizza crust whilst walking home seem a model of restraint.


I suggest keeping a download of this in your phone and playing it (sans phones) should this occur again...

She placed herself at the back of the bus where the engine gets very hot , (one could fry eggs on that, it would save stopping off at a breakfast cafe) very convenient to BBQ her cob, she had no need to turn it as the movement of the bus helped her out, when done, pricked two cob forks in either end, pulled out of her bag a corn on the cob dish, buttered said cob with "I can't believe it's not Buddha" tucked in her cloth napkin, although that had no effect, and off she went gnashing all the way to the terminus.


I don't really have a problem with passengers eating on public transport, if you're hungry or are having a diabetic hypo or hypa and have to eat, JUST EAT. The lady in question amazed me, that she had the balls to do that. (Perhaps start a thread 'Tiny Little Things That Cause Irrational Amazement'.


I would like to say I've had a few but I won't. x

I once gave somebody some chocolates and her response was "Are they organic?"


(They weren't. I nearly took them back and ate them all myself.)

:) That made me laugh..

The big fat woman on the overground this morning who objected to anyone trying to get on "can't you see I'm here, why are you pushing? I am a human being" and then proceeded to suck her teeth (which is absolutely disgusting).


I felt like telling her there was a pregnant woman squashed in and we were trying to make room, but I doubt there would have been space in her heart for anyone other than herself.


I also felt like telling her to not travel during rush hour, be more considerate and stop huffing and puffing.


I also felt like telling her she was taking up more space than anyone else.


Geez, I must have been in a bad mood.

And so called adults, especially men, crying about the yearly leaf fall and oh so slippy pavements, and crying about banter in mens barbers, and crying about complaints from other road users after you have blocked the road for an hour. Man up.

Why do you come onto this forum, exactly?


Why do you bother reading other people's posts?


Why don't you find some "real adult" forum to post on, and leave us "so called adults" to post on this one?

It made her husband laugh too. I pulled her up on it :)


Although to be fair they were running an organic farm and felt very strongly about all things organic :)

It's not my intention to be dismissive and I can hear your frustration, but I'm feeling rather horrified by your comments about the woman's weight. Sounds like you think fat people should have less right to travel at busy times and that size makes it OK to insult someone (you may not have done it at the time but you have online). Really? What if she has health problems or medication that has made her put on weight? I don't understand why you didn't just tell her you were making room for a pregnant woman.

Exactly! Would your attitude be the same for someone who was not of a large size but chose to stand in the way? Or was it simply due to the fact that this woman was clearly of a larger size and therefore must be causing the issue right away?

If you are referring to me, which you are, I'm interested in liars and why they lie. I don't consider that particularly morbid.


Having a psychology degree, I'm also interested in what makes some people so remarkably unpleasant on forums and in real life.


Perhaps I'll start a research project. You can be my first subject. Except I don't think I could stomach it.

Calm down.., I did not realise you have an obsession with MM! it's just a coincidence.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
