Mine are mostly relating to having to use public transport for work (I miss driving so much)
~ People who think their haversack is surgically attached to their back so stand on a packed bus with a haversack on instead of taking off and placing on the ground like normal people...
~ The "Wide Legged Dave" type who sits down and sticks elbows and knees everywhere..
~ The "my designer looking fake handbag" is so precious i'll hold around my elbow and whack the head off everyone sitting on the bus as I waggle by them....
~ The "screamer" on the mobile phone... Is that you... I'm on the bus....I'm on the bus.... I'M ON THE BUS.....
~ The "Stop, start" bus drivers who love slamming on the brakes every 5 seconds especially if the bus is jammed...
~ The "my precious shopping" passenger who gets on the bus sits on the outside seat and places their precious Penney's bag full of shopping on the inside seat... These people I deliberately search out and always ask to sit down... Did you pay for 2 seats? no well fuck off and put you bags on the floor like normal people..
~ the snotters who won't use a tissue....

Got a haircut today and just realised I am going to go bald over the next few years. Dark dark moment...
Ghostface and 5star... How do you get through that period?
I am having flashbacks to me slagging off a good mate over his baldness (good natured bants honestly). He is going be merciless when he find out...No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

It seems to this angry lay person that every time the O'Donnells lose they can appeal it, and when they exhaust that avenue they appear able to start the whole process again from a slightly different angle. And this week just gone one of the judges said that some interesting points had been raised and they got another three week stay (in both senses of the word). Presumably even if they lose on these interesting points they can appeal it upwards, and then start the process again with the kids (or Vico Holdings) taking the case?
To put it bluntly, when are we going to be witnessing a dawn raid with tazers and pepper spray?

View PostCool cool, will fork out the hefty amount of cash required for it so. Slightly apprehensive that its an encyclopaedia though, as how would you know what to look up. E.g. your in the kitchen thinking, hmm this fish needs a nice roux, let's look up roux in Larousse. Now roux may not even be a thing, but do remember some word that sounds like it from MasterChef. But the point is, how do you know in the first place that your fish needs a roux? There seems some base level of knowledge needed before you can take full advantage of the resource.
It does look very impressive on the kitchen bookshelf but I promise you will never use it for anything.Turning millions into thousands

You just do not notice you aren't smoking with the vape. I can't imagine ever choosing cigarettes again after making the switch. Its a vastly better experience. Really you aren't actually quitting, but more upgrading to a deluxe more enjoyable model of nicotine inhalation. And long may it continue.Turning millions into thousands

Originally posted by Mellor View PostHaving a nightmare over on Betfair.
I had two large unmatched bets on the betfair - same market, two win bets on both options.
I wanted to adjust my stake and odds, I couldn't change both together, so I opted to cancel the bets.
Only one of the bets was refunded to my account. At first I thought I was maybe mistaken and I had lost more than I thought recently
But my main wallet now has less in it than the two bets combined. I don't think its possible to use the other wallet for this market.
Anybody ever experience this?
Also my only pet peeve is people on the bus who(even with headphones on!!) have their music so loud that I can hear it 20 rows back with my headphones on! They also have horrific taste in music.
I avoid busses because of these people.Go big or go homeless.

Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View PostPlus a quadrupling of broadband speed and Sky Sports for those 4 months?
I mentioned I wasn't good at this type of thing.
Delighted with the half price 4 months in fairness. Will save over €170. Just not too pleased with the additional 8 months contacted at full price.
Still have 14 days to cancel. Might not bother though, just in case I end up signing up for a 24 month contract.

All fish over 8-12 pounds are females.
Also pike spawn feb march.
They really are the crocodiles of the rivers canals.
Underwater ireland on youtube shows the huge amount of fish in the canal.

- The sweaty guy that insists on moving around so you're reminded of the whiff every few minutes.
- The one that reads the newspaper and sticks it in your face.
- If you're reading, the ones that pretty much read over your shoulder.
- The ones that take their coats off without standing up and almost decapitate you with a flying zip.
- The one that wants to talk away to you when you have your earphones in despite it being blatantly obvious you just want your own peace.
- The ones that don't sit beside each other to talk, but sit on opposite sides of the bus and shout across to each other.
- The tuna and egg sandwich muncher that leaves the wrapper on the floor or shoved down the side of the chair.
- Chewing gum munchers in the seat behind.
- Wankers sticking their knees through the back of your seat.
- The guys that hang their jackets on the back of your chair and invade your personal space.
- People that go through every different ringtone on their phones.
There's lots more but i've getting tilted just listing them off!

I must confess I'm a "Wide-legged Dave". I am simply not comfortable if my knees are straight out in front of me. If wanted to sit like that I would be holding them there, and couldn't keep it up for the length of a bus journey. They simply don't rest in that position.
