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

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

    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
    • Hello, I was wondering if others have had experience of roof repairs and guarantees. A while back, we had a water leak come through in our top floor room.  A roofer came and went out on the roof to take a look - they said it was to do with a leak near the chimney.   They did some rendering around the chimney and this cost £1800 plus £750 for scaffolding (so £2,550 total).  They said the work came with a 10 year guarantee. About a year later, there was another leak on the same wall, which looked exactly the same size and colour as the previous leak. But it was about 2 metres away from it, on the other side of a window.  I contacted the roofer about this new leak, thinking it would be covered by the guarantee. However, he said the new leak was due to a different and unrelated problem, and so was not covered by the guarantee. This new leak, he said, was due to holes in the felt underneath the tiles. He said there are holes in the felt all over the roof (so if this was the cause, I expect the first leak may have been caused by that too - but he didn't mention the holes in the felt for the first repair). It feels like the 10-year guarantee doesn't mean much at all.  I realise that the guarantee couldn't cover all future problems with the roof, but where do you draw the line with what's reasonable?  Is it that a leak is only covered if an identical leak happens in exactly the same place?  There were no terms and conditions with the guarantee, which I didn't question at the time.  
    • I always like Redemptions coffee though I've not visted for awhile..Romeo Jones was always my 1st choice for takeout Coffee Redemption 2nd. What IS with all these independent Yoga and Pilates Studios? Theres one on London Rd in Forest Hill (Mind) thats recently opened and then theres the Pilates place thats opened on North X Road. I looked at the prices of the one on NorthX road and was frankly shocked at how expensive it is, The FH one is slightly less.  Made me decide to stick with classes in The local authority gym
    • Dulwich Village update: The old DVillage location is (again?) under offer. The storefront next to the new grocer is going to open as a yoga and pilates studio...the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦‍♂️  Megan's is starting to push its takeaway coffee and cannibalise some of Redemption Coffee's market share. Is Megan's struggling? It's quite a big restaurant they have and rent cant be cheap. The reinventing of the Megan's branch on Lordship Lane as Ollie's seems to have stalled. And Redemption is looking a bit tired these days...
