    So why FFS do you park right next to me, window down, engine running, jabbering away like a moron?

    You need an Opera CD. Play it full blast. It's amazing what it does to morons. They run away really quickly and either way, he'll not be able to continue his phone conversation.

    Rio Ferdinand's mouth when he's talking. It's like watching a llama eat its dinner.

    I think that's a terrible slur on Buddhist priests.

    I'll get my coat.

    Rapha cafe. Nothing against Rapha and their kit and the coffee and cake is great but it's like they are running casting for some kind of cycling film or a cycling themed fancy dress party. Half appear to be dressed how they think a to would look while relaxing and the other half are caricature cycle couriers. Do people really prance around London in race fit cycling jerseys, casquettes and no bike? I guess it's worse than ever this weekend with Ride London happening.

    I can't say I notice this.

    However, a lot of cyclists - myself included - stop off at Rapha for a coffee when out on the bike. Those cyclists will naturally be in kit.

    Take off that hair shirt, Pinno. Self-denial is OK in a monk. Is there something you want? Deserve, even?
    And don't say "world peace"' you are not Miss Stranraer.

    Meant in jest. I have suffered from insomnia in the past when I was seriously depressed. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Sleep well. I will after more pink wine.

    It ain't insomnia, just other things. I'm on the Orvieto so taking similar 'preparations'. :wink:

    Cardamom pods left in the rice of my pop in the oven curry dinner. I'm a busy man I ain't got time to be sifting those out.

    This.

    If cardamon pods are part of the cooking process they should be left in the kitchen with the rest of the cooking stuff. They are definitely not part of the eating process.

    The fact my username is capitalised.

    Can't remember why the fark I thought it'd be a good idea. Maybe I had a LARGER EGO BACK THEN. Maybe I just LEFT CAPS LOCK ON.

    Its not rocket science to take the seeds out and grind them before adding it to a curry. Curry's are great, so long as you don't have to publicly and ignominiously sift through the 'chaff' that are sometimes contained in them.

    I love the little pop of intense cardamomness that I get when I eat one. Should definitely be left in. Cinnamon sticks on the other hand...

    The BBC's "lets commemorate that we won the world cup 50 years ago" bun fight which took place at the weekend

    Really? Ok, so England won it once, get over it FFS.

    the requirement by kitchen gadget manufacturers to make everything beep

    BEEP, the kettle has been placed on its stand
    BEEP, you selected 97deg
    BEEP, you selected 98deg
    BEEP, you selected 99deg
    BEEP, you selected 100deg
    BEEP, you turned the kettle on
    BEEP, the kettles boiled
    BEEP, you replaced the kettle on its stand after pouring the water out

    BEEP, you turned the microwave on
    BEEP you chose to set the time
    BEEP you chose to set the temperature
    BEEP BEEP you chose to start to cooking
    BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP - the microwave has finished
    BEEP BEEP BEEP - you turned the microwave off

    Guilty! First time I was told was a group ride. I'd been commuting solo in them for about 3 months before they first got used with company.

    Especially grating as it constantly reminds all of us in the rest of the UK that a lot of people think that "England" and "UK" mean exactly the same thing.

    Pedestrians.
    The way they form echelons across the pavement, and then walk at a snails pace. A pushchair is invariably involved.
    Or stop/veer into your path without any 'hint'. Or, indeed, any sense of spatial awareness.
    Or walking towards you with their heads down, engrossed in that oh-so important text/tweet/facebook update.
    Or walk into a supermarket via the exit.
    You're the light wiping out my batteries; You're the cream in my airport coffee's.

    This. Especially the group walking towards you taking up the whole width of footway who expect you to move into the road to avoid them.
