People who chew gum with their mouths open, especially if audibly...the clacking sound and waft of mint/juicy fruit on the bus of a morning.....the horror?..one day I'll crack, I've already developed a Chief Inspector Dreyfus style twitch in my left eye, surely it can't be long before I attempt to strangle some poor gum chewing moron on the number 12? Of course I?ll go quietly when the police arrest me, and as a first offence the Judge will probably take that in to account, it will most likely be a charge of GBH not attempted murder I?ll be up on. I?ll be making a pretty good case for myself, suitably regretful and ashamed ??I don?t know what came over me your Honour, it was completely out of character, I?m a very non violent person, I guess I?ve been under a lot of stress at work, not sleeping well?..? the Judge will smile benignly and the jurors will start to soften towards me?..then from the public gallery a distinctive sound will reach my ear, and what?s that I can smell..is it?spearmint??..my head will ratchet round 180 degrees and my stare will be met by the familiar chomping motion, flash of teeth and pink wet tongue?the spasm on my left eye will begin?the vein will pop out in my neck?the red mist will descend and before I black out the last thing I?ll remember will be the court police wrestling me to the ground as they prize my fingers away from another gum chewers throat?..



I also don?t like people who put their feet on the seats.

Brendan - the socks 'just vanish' OK.


somewhere between being worn, taken off, going through washing and drying process and back to the sock drawer they 'just vanish'.


feet on seats, why do people do that ? they would not sit there if it was vacant and someone removed their feet from it, so why ?

People that cough without covering their mouths, grumpy deliver drivers, cash for gold gimmicks, moody friends, sleazy bosses, people that sit on the outside of a double seat on the train, late buses, aggressive drunk people, aggressive people, friends that mistreat you, people that push in on trains/in queues/in lifts/on the road/at the supermarket, people that don't use a tissue, people with a short fuse.


*Aaaagh* it's out of my system now!

i don't like the use of 'period' in the american sense, particular when it's spelt out - in english it's pronounced 'full stop' and it's written '.'

A heavily pregnant woman on the train from London Bridge to East Dulwich, rush hour eve last week saving a seat for her husband. Four people tired looking woman tried to sit in the said seat but pregnant woman insisted that the empty seat was taken and that she herself would give her seat up if they didnt leave the other for her husband. Never heard such cheek. When the hubby did find her (5 minutes later) he sat and moaned about the politics of his work for the whole journey. He looked super fit (in a fitness sense) also which added insult to injury...


Since when can you save seats on a busy commuter train by the way???

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
