    This one's definitely not DM, but she feels the need to share every opinion at the top of her voice, which grates massively. She also doesn't take the hint when i turn away and plug in my earphones and carries on chirping away

    I've sometimes wondered that too, but I don't think they were that organised. I'm not even sure that they all worked for the same department of the company; some of them had their own posts to fill which might not have been the job advertised, but it was still bloody pointless :lol:

    Being sent an email informing us that we'd be observing the two minute armistice silence and asking staff not to take telephone calls or type during that time only for some self-important people to ignore the request. I guess they made themselves look stupid but why not show some respect? If you are already on the phone just say 'can I call you back in 2 minutes? We're just observing the silence' no-one is going to mind!

    when your seemingly previously ok neighbours tell you they are just replacing a garden fence, and you come home to find what they actually meant was they are going to dig up a good chunk of your garden in the process...and then replace the fence :evil:

    Go and look at the moon. Then Dobbies will be a distant memory.

    The Aldi advert.

    The one about the carrot.

    Why? WHY? has all the Christmas dinner been set out (steaming mind you!) and then everyone has buggered off to bed?


    And whilst I'm on adverts, the one for Birds eye peas. When did peas become a food group on their own? The whole family has enough on each of their plates, and yet there's still 'kin bowl full of them, and they're still passing them round! I don't mind peas and I know they're good for me, I just didn't know I was supposed to eat my year's intake at one sitting!

    Christmas adverts, all of them. Makes me want to kick the telly through. But then I'd have to wait for Black Friday or whatever they call it to buy a new one made by Casio or Cadburys or some other no name electrical brand for £50. Hurumph!

    Whilst visiting London earlier this month I couldn't actually believe someone was employed to drape scarfs around folk and take pictures in Kings Cross station. I also couldn't believe people would queue and pay for the privilege to make a complete an utter ar$e of themselves in front of everyone by jumping in a "jovial" manner for said photo.

    I've seen them practising on Hampstead Heath on Saturday mornings. Live and let live, contact sports aren't for everyone.

    Full contact according to the article! Running around with a broom between your knees must look a little ridiculous though

    Well there's full contact and then there's full contact.

    And yes it does.

    Ha! I've only just got home from work.

    I did actually see someone on my commute once with a red light on the front and a blue on on the rear. They weren't cycling backwards.

    I saw someone with must have been a Knog blinder white light on the rear of their bike yesterday that was busy dazzling everyone following him :roll: daft idiot then had one of the weakest white lights on the front, so cant quite claim he'd got them round the wrong way.

    The whole Black Friday thing.

    Firstly, it has no heritage here - it's for the USA.
    Then, having accepted that OK, maybe there could be a decent bargain out there before Christmas, I now have to suffer Black Friday events that start at the beginning of November. No longer a one-day bun-fight, but a 4 week long ram-it-down-your-throat fest.
    And the 'bargains' are often few and far between.
    Cube Reaction GTC Pro 29 for the lumpy stuff
    Cannondale Synapse alloy with 'guards for the winter roads
    Fuji Altamira 2.7 for the summer roads
    Trek 830 Mountain Track frame turned into a gravel bike - for anywhere & everywhere
