Major Isewater Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 As a footnote to my toilet sign photo , I actually crossed a very embarrassed lady in the gent’s toilet at the establishment. Just thought of another , Americans who ask to use your ‘bathroom’ when they want a wee. When I am in a person’s house I don’t ask if I can use their toilet. I rather politely ask if I can ‘wash my hands’. Often French people tell me I can wash my hands in the kitchen sink. Strange people the French. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I enjoy a surreptitious skiving 40 winks in trap no.1 as much as the next fella, but for it to be officially named, thusly? I never had canucks down as lazy buggers.

Midred Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Plays or films about "Jury" dramas! Particularly those comprising of 12 'Z' list celebrities who have to follow a dramatic script written by people who I suspect have never done jury service!

Major Isewater Posted April 18 Author Report Share Posted April 18 Fashion, f , f ,f,f fashion and those who slavishly follow it.It’s marketing people, just a way to sell more products. Wear what the folk you want to wear. However you dress if you do it with confidence others will think that you are making a statement and most probably copy your ‘look’ . If you hang on to your threads long enough they will come back ‘ in ‘ anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nothing wrong with more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere"; "CRB checks are an invasion of freedom" etc etc. Although he worked on programmes to do with science and maths, he personally knows little about the subjects he presented, as his social media pronouncements show. He's basically an ex-Butlin's Redcoat with two O'Levels. I recall reading that he's now got dementia, so perhaps that explains some of the post-TV career inanity he's come out with.

redsince1994 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 "Life Hacks" Not the term itself, even if it is a bit hyperbolic. But things being described as "life hacks" that are just the correct way to do things. I saw one that said adding diced carrot to a bolognese is a life-hack. No, that's just a bolognese 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Shop assistants authorising your vodka/whiskey and walking away without removing the tag. Tesco Yate particularly annoying where this is concerned. It’s the last item, you know I am about to pay, do yer ******* job, I do not want to be stood there like a spare cock while you walk off to talk to your mates.

Dollymarie Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 This is very niche but… When you take your kid to a group, like Storytime at the library, or a music class etc, and parents have conversations with other parents whilst the class/activity is happening. Shut up for half an hour and be involved in the group! Whatever you need to talk about can wait til after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
