Probably rational, actually.


Why oh why oh why have buses now got 60% of the luggage rack taken up by a free newspaper rack ?

(obviously it's for money, but...)

what's next ? vending machines instead in place of some of the seats ?

interesting that my annoyance at the fat woman on the train who refused to make space for anyone else caused such outrage.


It's a general commuter problem - people refusing to move in, make space, squash up.


She was particularly unsociable with it. Fact she was fat did not raise my annoyance levels but her behavior / intolerance did.


I'm not particularly 'sizeist' but her general manner of behavior was unattractive.

Ha! Possibly the same person who said to me earlier this year "some of us are going to work" when I squeezed onto that same train in the morning carrying my snooker cue - as it happened I was going to a meeting and planning to get a quick game in later, but I didn't feel they deserved an explanation!

I remember when they used to drive me mad too... happy days...

Handles on doors, oh no you don't have to use them. Why not shove the door thing with your grubby paws, and watch over time as the handmarks build up.


And don't get me started on walls. My sons' mate walks up the stairs, trailing his hands grubby all over them.

turn the book around, hold stub open with right hand, fill in upside down

I was rushed through the till in the supermarket yesterday and the cashier started serving the next customer before I had packed my shopping in the bags and she had given me the receipt, didn't offer to help me pack shopping and was very abrupt. Not going back there in a hurry. Reminded me of the days of "Victor Value". No polite customer service, just rude rude rude. (mind you, the man behind me was very handsome, she probably couldn't wait to serve him)

    • Not sure about that - I'm personally not too bothered by the noise, despite living possibly the closest to the site. I am bothered by the impact on all the wildlife, as should hopefully everyone with a conscience and who care about their community?
    • Their coffee and food is delicious. Really nicely decorated cafe with a nice vibe and a great selection of books too. The owner and staff are all very friendly and happy to chat when preparing your order.
    • The venn diagram of people who are personally really bothered by the noise from GALA and are also deeply concerned about the local bat population looks remarkably just like a circle.
    • Language is a fluid and evolving thing and as it changes the original meaning of words can alter to take on a new true meaning or meanings. Original meaning is not the same as true meaning. Take the word literal which is now used to mean the very opposite of how the word used to be used, irritating for some of us but demonstrates the English language is vibrant and alive and also very subjective. But I must go and make myself a cup of tea now or I will literally die of thirst
