    I don't dispute that, but strength wouldn't help in this case. The problem is the glue is much stronger than the film, so the film gives way before the glue.

    When you say "no bags thanks", they give you that look that says "oh right, you want to drink it before you get back to the car, eh?"

    They know you well then.

    They give Matt a straw. :lol:

    He must have millions of loyalty points.

    Heart is worse, they seemingly have a playlist of about seven songs!! But still my wife and daughter insist on listening to it when I'm driving the car.

    When I used to pick my daughters up from school I always made it plain that I was the DJ and played what I wanted to hear.

    They should know me by now, have spent enough in the local, but the staff are different almost every time.

    The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra wasting their time and musical ability overlaying their sound on old Elvis records and Radio 2 for constantly playing the results as if it is a work of musical genius.

    Elvis is the most over-rated musical act in history and the RPO addition does nothing to improve the songs.

    What the late, great Mr Milligan referred to as 'Musak'. He put it onto Room 101 (before Frank Skinner/The Beeb wrecked it).

    Lorries who just ignore 50mph average speed limits and keep going at 60, undertaking everyone.

    I thought it was just foreign drivers who knew they wouldn't get caught, but lots of British drivers do it too. Not sure how they get away with it.

    Also lorries overtaking on hills on the motorway, moving past each other at 0.0005mph. Yesterday on the way home there was one lorry overtaking another in the 2nd and 3rd lane southbound on the M6 over the Mersey bridge, funnelling everyone into the 4th lane and nearly causing a pile up. Twats.

    awww I like Classic FM when I drive in, you cant beat a bit of the old Ludwig Van on the way into work "Freude, schöner Götterfunken" :D

    and you know its an upmarket radio station because they give you the FTSE100 in the news, you dont get that on GFab FM :lol:

    Classic FM - adverts with music in them, and music from adverts.

    Any unwanted music anywhere (not just shopping centres - but those I don't go in anyway generally as they annoy me). Give me silence and the sound of peoples voices please. Not some sh1t pop-lite drivel played at randomly different volumes throughout the shop (or anywhere else). Yes, Co-op; your p1ss poor music is why I can't concentrate at the chiller cabinets and end up not buying as much as I intended.

    Also, anything on the internet that purports to be "amazing", "shocking", "I will not believe" - no, I am not amazed, far from being shocked, I just don't care and why wouldn't I believe that an actress who was young 20 years ago has aged a bit? Only a total cretin would expect otherwise.

    She was dubbed the "prettiest" girl in the world, now how has she changed in 6 years. She looks about 11.

    Also, newspapers that (rightly) lambast perv's preying on young girls, and then a few pages later have a pic of a 14 year old in a bikini who's parents are celebs.

    VERY definitely trivial, but this...

    hqdefault.jpg

    ....does my head in!

    And this is because Derby and Nottingham are in the wrong places somehow, they should be about 16 miles apart. As drawn Leicester and Oakham are closer together, but are really 20 miles apart

    Mansfield to Lincoln? around 35 miles, but just a bit further than D to N as drawn

    Nottingham to Skegness is 78 miles, yet shows as just over twice the distance of D to N.

    Told you it was trivial didn't I? :lol:


    The older I get, the better I was.

    Agreed, the best bit about Elvis was Scotty Moore and now it's been smothered by a weirdly ill fitting orchestra.

    I suspect that they STILL get your forecast entirely wrong like they do in the barren wastelands of Northumberlandia.

    Our weather forecast is always wrong because it's presented as being one of the outer suburbs of London, so yours must presumably be presented as inside the M25 and also wrong.

    Occasionally BBC North East suddenly changes its forecast details online, but I suspect that's those occasions when Sideshow Bob looks out the window and then struggles to reconcile the monsoon outside with the smiley sun icons on the webpage.

    Just read yet another news report about how someone "suffered life-changing injuries"

    Another mealy-mouthed modern euphemism.

    The word you're looking for is "maimed".

    And just to save you from 300 pointless clicks, Felicity from neighbours still looks much the same as ever but I've lost the link to how unrecognisable Monica Lewinsky is now so I sadly won't be able to be amazed by that now. :(

    That too. Why do you always appear around about this time of night? Is this when the wife lets you off after doing all the the chores?

    You're actually keeping tabs on me.

    Nah, I don't need to do any chores anymore, other than put kids to bed and read them a story. Wife feels guilty since we decided that she should give up work.

    If my OH gave up work, that means I would have to go to work.

    Overfilled cups in cafes. I've got quite shaky hands at the best of times and by time I got to my seat this morning the saucer was nearly overflowing from spelled coffee.

    Fuel prices going up - not because of the cost but because it gets ever more difficult to time the cutoff to get the cost exactly on the nearest pound (my one little OCD fetish).

    Sainsbury's petrol stations always giving me a voucher I don't want along with my receipt.
