    Am I the only one who gets p1ssed off at the mars ad with the cyclist? FFS. It takes 2 mins to repair a puncture and you wouldn't look a tw@t on a kids bike. You would get there quicker.

    Oh. And all cyclists aint skinny lanky fuckheads with paedo goaty beards.

    Men at urinals. What's with the ostentatious hawking and spitting before having a wazz?
    Walk to urinal. Unzip fly. Get penis out. Urinate. Repeat the previous steps, in reverse. Washing hands is optional. Why the spitting? I am in my fifth decade on the planet, am I missing something?
    The three shake rule at urinals. I just can't get the job done in three shakes!

    Here's one that's been bothering me for a while - exaggerating the weather.

    eg;

    "It's freezing out there!"
    So why does that thermometer say 12°C then?

    "I don't think I've ever known it so windy!"
    Well not since yesterday, anyway.

    And from every national newspaper printed on Friday: "The UK faces a bank holiday washout!"
    Number of drops of rain fallen on me so far, in 120 miles of riding: 0

    I think we tend to do that because we don't tend to get extreme or dramatic weather.
    A situation I am quite happy with.

    "It's going to be one of the coldest winters on record!" "It's going to be one of the hottest summers on record!"

    They try those every year and it's all bullish!t. Sensationalising the weather sells papers but the weather can only be roughly predicted for two weeks in advance, the rest is all guess work.

    Speaking of the weather, my Missus is a walking barometer. If the weather changes by half a degree I get a weather update or a Brrrr noise. This happens 50 times a day.

    Pointless excessive politeness. Like saying it's rude to put your elbows on the table. WHY?!!? What harm does that do to anyone?

    Well said sir.
    New annoyance - chaps who expectorate before wazzing. I have never felt the need to clear my throat and expel contents before urinating. What is this all about? Am I missing something?

    You mean to say you haven't done the Billy Connelly gag of slapping the side of the urinal whilst unzipping your flies?!

    How dare you. We're all lean athletic committed cyclists on here with elbows like Froome during the tour. If you can find anything to carve on them then good luck. That's right isn't it folks?

    You disgust me. Or excite me. I have not yet out worked which. I fear it may be the latter. You naughty boy.

    The 24cm pan is twice the price of the 20cm pan. I can not understand why this should be the case.

    I looked into one and the repayments on a loan for £7.5k and £10k is less than a loan for £7k.

    Yes Perhaps around 50% more would be nearer the mark.

    A = pi R2.

    or 452.39 cm2. Difference: 138.23 cm2 or 30.55%.

    The fact that you can't fast forward or skip the anti piracy message at the start of DVDs.


    You'd have thought the bloke down the car boot would have edited them out. :wink:

    When the person in the seat next to you knows all the words and thinks their voice is better than that of the artist(e) you have paid good money to see and hear.

    Adele last night; don't sneer, the girl can sing. Unlike the k-nob of the female persuasion next to us.

    Yeah, that gets me too. I am sat there watching a DVD that I have paid for through legitimate retail channels and then get a flipping lecture about DVD piracy that I cannot skip through, same bloody music every time, grrr.

    And if you pirate the DVD, you don't see the ads anyway :)
