I'm sure this has already been noted, but people reading or texting while walking along a footpath, platform, etc. No, it's OK, I'll do the looking and dodging, you enjoy your book. Or on a bad day, I'll do the looking but not the dodging.

Personally, I don't think this one is irrational. This morning I caught the 8.36 from Denmark Hill. Half the train disembarks there, and the worst bit is by the stairs. I got really annoyed with the f***wits who decided that it was more important that they get on the train before everyone who need to got off. Was particularly incensed by one idiot who decided to get into the doorway and block half of it, thereby slowing things down even more. What is wrong with these people?


I waited till the passengers had got off, then walked halfway down the carraige and got a seat, before the train had departed, so there was plenty of time.

It's comic relief season... something easy to do with little thought... simple! ;-)

Not unlike TV chess, when one player triumphantly moves a piece and declares, "Checkmate!" If the other player didn't know he was one move away from mate (and therefore would have resigned), he's a pretty poor player and barely worth beating...

:-) I said "not unlike" rather than "same as". I meant in terms of it being a completely unlifelike situation. I've just been Googling (in vain) to find out the last time there was a checkmate in a major tournament... I bet it was, er, a long time ago.

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
