    There I was in this busy car park and there's no spaces. Low and behold this chap in his late 70's walks towards his car and starts putting all manner of rubbish in his boot. I decided to wait but he faffed and faffed and ummed and aaahd. Took ages. He took one look at me, shut the boot and walked away. Thanks.

    :lol: I did almost add it here for when it happens to me!

    People out shopping at 4pm wearing a dressing gown.

    When there's a big queue at the till and someone hands over a pile of 5p pieces for the shop assistant to count especially when they didn't bother counting them out first themselves.

    If the above 2 are done by the same person it gets beyond annoyance and becomes fury!

    Some of the loose definitions of 'Derby' matches in sport. I've heard the Bristol clubs v Plymouth described as West Country derbies in the past and they're near enough 100 miles apart with no real historic rivalry. You wouldn't hear Brighton v Chelsea described as a South East Derby.

    Going to drop your stuff back to your car in a busy car park and someone drives the wrong way down aisle to get your space, hangs around indicating that they are going in there while blocking everyone then realises you aren't leaving.

    I knew it went over your head.

    No it didn't, I meant I was going to post it cheers me up when I do it but annoys me when someone does it to me. Unless of course the post about it going over my head went over my head in which case it did!

    Maybe we need a thread 'Trivial Things That Confuse Us'?

    It did. My post was a spoof thread. The suggestion was that I was the guy waiting for you...

    Washing your freshly decreased bicycle with hot soapy Turtle Wax shampoo filled water in the fresh winter sun whilst avoiding domestic chores with a fresh sponge and realising that you've wrapped a piece of gravel in the sponge and now have saved weight by gouging some metal out of your previously immaculate rear brake.

    Spending 4 hours of your life stripping all the freakin' bodywork, mirrors and headlight off your stupidly designed motorbike to refit and indicator rubber that you knocked off with a bag of dog food only to put everything back on then knock it off again whilst cleaning it.

    Sending TDR an email from work thinking that you have copy and pasted a link to L'Eroica in it only to find out by return email from the same that the link is actually some porn site your mate was looking at only a few minutes before and didn't freakin' tell you whilst he watched over your shoulder as you pressed "copy" to copy the link in to the email to TDR.

    Deciding that you will spend 10 minutes this evening stitching up the small tear in your favourite but slightly tatty but ever so warm winter jacket only to rip half the arm off whilst pulling it up so it didn't get wet while you gouged your bicycle with a piece of gravel.

    Finding out that work aren't sending you on what would be an excellent doss to either the Falklands or Canada to drink hot chocolate and wear warm toasty parkas while other people worked in the cold but have decided to instead send you to Birmingham. Birmingham, England, not even Birmingham America.

    Realising that you went out for a bicycle ride in minus a million degrees with a million gale force winds blowing against you and the fact that you were slow was because your rear brake cable was full of gunk so the brake was on the whole of the time.

    The rest is just life mate, whereas that ^ is just simply inhumane. Haven't they got anything in Syria for you? However, 2 things spring to mind.

    1. The Brummies do have a sense of humour and
    2. It could have been Alsager or worse; Stoke.

    I went to Brum on Friday and quite liked it. Proof, if ever it were needed, that I have lived in Stoke for too long.

    Very, very true. The Potteries. Bloody hell, now that place is a dump. Should really be known as the Shitteries.

    I remember in my student days (Manchester Uni) wasting 24 hours of my life going up with my housemates to see one of their sisters who was at Stoke Poly or some such shyyythole. We managed to get banned for life from the SU after about 2 hours I think.

    None of us really regretted it to tell the truth.

    At least this latest thing is Tri-service, so there will be loads of RAF totty floating around.

    pigeons, bloomin things, how can a bird thats seemingly so shocked by the mere noise of a passing cyclist it has to immediately set off in blind panic, decide sitting in a hedgerow next to the road is the best thing for it, which is bad enough as a jump scare tactic

    but I got thumped full in the face by one today as the stupid thing set off full bore and flew straight into my head.
