The perfect accessory...http://www.airsickness-bag.com/media/img/air-sickness-bag.jpg Jumbo size, natch.

Client pesters you with stroppy email: "I must have it by close of play Wednesday". It gets emailed well before "close of play Wednesday" (even though we're not playing cricket) and an automated out of office reply pings straight back: "xxxx xxxxxx is away on holiday from Tuesday 5.00pm until Friday 9.30am". Tw*t...

* "Environmentally friendly" paper carrier bags which disintegrate in the rain :-S


* Amazon raising the price of an iPod I had just saved enough Nectar points for (over years obviously) by nearly ?40 within a week (6) - from ?175 to ?214 - whilst at the same time sending me emails of the "double points for a limited time" variety - actually maybe that's perfectly rational rage ..... do they think we're all stupid??


* People who preface much of what they say or write with "To be honest" - so you're not honest the rest of the time, then?


* Being lied to. About anything. Even small things. Even things that don't matter in the least. GRRRRRRR.

The snotty-sounding voice of the self service tills at Sainsburys, the one who orders you, with barely concealled impatience, to 'place the item in the bagging area' just after you've placed the item in the bagging area. Or 'please enter your PIN number, just after you've entered your PIN number. Or, best of all, 'please take your items'.


Really? You think I should?


OR DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD WASTE MY OWN TIME BY COMING INTO RETAIL HELL, PICKING OUT A RANDOM SELECTION OF ITEMS, LISTEN TO ALL YOUR BANAL FUCKWITTERY, PAY FOR IT ALL WITH MY OWN MONEY AND THEN LEAVE WITHOUT BOTHERING TO PICK UP THE STUFF I'VE JUST PAID FOR


JUST SOD OFF YOU ARROGANT, SUPERCILIOUS VOICE-OVER TWAT!

Couldn't agree more! I've given up with them if I've got more than a couple of things to buy (which in Sainsbury's I always do) as they also invariably need to "wait for assistance" for some inexplicable reason. Think it was about 6 times last time I used them to pay for a big shop. It's quicker and easier to wait for a till with a cashier, even when there's a queue - it's better for my blood pressure!

Siblings who pay a flying Mother's Day visit ,talk over the mother ,leave a sink full of washing up and completely ignore the needs of a frail registered blind 92 year old ,doors shut that she can't open ,gifts placed out of reach ,chairs pulled out and left out for her to fall over .

And disappear back up the motorway .

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner.
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
    • I'm glad all this talk of cheese has enticed David Peckham back to the forum.
