Thinking about it, it DOES sound bad KK!:X...everyone should allow Guys, like the one described, to continue to take the Royal Pis....>:D<


absolutely agree flapjackdavey but get this..


We rented our place in spain out for two weeks to some people we didn't know. I was there the following week and was merrily cleaning my ears (sand gets in funny places!) with a cotton bud... it was only at the end of the week (and some cotton buds later) I that I realised that they had been using them and putting the dirty ones (and I am talking really dirty) back in the box, used end down.

Now picture which end you use when you pick one out of the box!!!


Not only REVOLTING but also bloody irritating!

oh yes, and two more...


people who don't seem to know where the accelerator peddle is in their car...


people who say, when ordering a drink, "Can I get a beer"... of course you can't get a bloody beer, thats' the barman's job!!!

and anyway what's wrong with the word have all of a sudden, have we all moved to New York?????

Of course you are right Asset.


However its like the Chinese Water Torture Treatment.


Day-In/Day-Out, Week-In/Week-Out, Month-In-Month-Out, Year-In/Year-Out, Decade-In/Decade-Out you hear/see/observe the same anti=social behaviour and situations occurring, with only the names and faces of the people changing from scenario to scenario, and it gradually grinds most Middle-Aged people down as little seems to be done about it..

they keep comin' this morning...


and people who start sentences with "well... basically"

and the REALLY irritating thing is that I do it!!!!!


ps I know someone is about to put... "people who put too may images on forums" so I thought I'd better get that one out the way, pronto!

had edited it before you'd even had time to put up your post!!!

na-na, nanaa na>:D<

(or however you would spell that thing kids do in the playground)

no no asset... I love this post... really good to get it out of your system

sooooo cathartic for all us grumpy 'old' men and women of ED


file.php?20,file=3908


oh dear, there I go again putting a MASSIVE pic up just to irritate the grumpy old men

What's really pi**ing me off at this very moment is bitchy women in the office -- I work in an academic establishment, and chose my career because I naively thought I would be surrounded by people who share my passion for the subject. But this place is just as bad as any small-minded office you'd find, and it really depresses me :( I don't wanna be rich, I don't wanna be famous, I just don't want to have to 'bat-away' silly little bitchy comments every five minutes because I am surrounded by people who hide their incompetency by feeding a clique :( Grrr, it makes me mad -- where are the honest, decent people when you want them???? I don't see why I should lower myself to purile behaviour(I'll just, as Martha Wainwright says, 'internalise')

How ironic! I was just thinking along those lines when there was a feature about "Brothers/Sisters" and what happens when you get too many of either Gender in one place. Any experienced Boss will tell you that a mixture is better.


I never met one thru' my whole working life who wanted predominantly Female for about 70,000 reasons (Yes, I "know) but sometimes you have to get off the damn fence.

At 12.00AM I will spend 2 hours seperating The Lady who lives with me from the cleaning Lady and its going to take all my social skills and when they meet its "murder" or was that "Hart-To-Hart"....


Seriously, I've had the great pleasure of being the token Male in many Offices and what I've witnessed (invariably "whispered" and NOT face-to-face) could take a lifetime to write.


I've also been in all-Male environments and that has its downsides too but currently I work with 40 Males and the banter is fabulous if a lil "ott" sometimes, though Men can certainly "back-stab" with the best of them.:X

...Mmm, the token male (if he deserves the title Man) in our dept is my supervisor, and he loves stirring up trouble amongst the females -- i cannot wait to get outta here alive and rid my life of these gutter rats -- just got to get through (sorry to sound like Beddingfield) the next 7 months of this prison sentence and move on to better things (with much better people) :)

We're done Maxie! or rather I'm all tuckered out..


Knew there was gonna be a problem straight away when "Mrs Sierra Leone" says "Is THAT Jamaican Girl upstairs?" when I reply in the affirmative, she starts to raise her voice and tell me about a "beef" with a large Jamaican Woman yesterday in the pub!!(6)...it went downhill after that but I accepted the blame for everything (easy get out)...::o

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
