    Be sure to have Radio 6 on all day tomorrow then - 1994 indie throwback day: it's going to be freaking brilliant.

    Massif mega dance off already planned at work. We're gonna rock.

    Today's addition to this list, people who moan and moan at work about rubbish every time you see them to the point where you ignore them when they have legitimate complaints

    I've made sure I've got alibis!

    Mrs Pross;

    Pretending to be your husband on an internet forum whilst he is out burgling a house will be considered as an accessory to that crime. Now please get off before you're found out.

    I have three bikes in a cupboard less than 1m wide. I think you might be doing it wrong.

    No sure something that humungous can be classed as trivial, annoying definitely.
    Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)
    Ribble Gran Fondo, Campagnolo Centaur (winter bike)
    Van Raam 'O' Pair

    Well she wins lots of votes for the other parties, but I don't think she wins many for Labour which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your politics! Personally I just find her the most annoying hypocrite in politics amongst some pretty stiff competition.

    Well I'm going to hazard a guess that your natural sympathies don't lie with Diane Abbott and her party? Me neither!

    I, for one, agree with you wholeheartedly. She comes across like a condescending tw@t. All that celebrity shite has gone to her head.

    Wasn't she also corbyn's sp***bucket for a time?

    Yes it's not a pleasant thought. Plus not only is she a condescending tw@t, after a lifetime of lecturing us all on the evils of selective and private education, she goes and sends her own son to an exclusive fee paying school.

    People who push past in the start pen of a running event that's clearly marked by time, stand in your way and then set off at a far slower pace blocking everyone behind.

    It seems to be a bit of a bugbear this running thing you do Pross. Previously, you moaned about people going off too fast (and then catching up with them admittedly). Perhaps you should stick to Velocipedal activities.

    Nah, I'm sure I've moaned about similar in cycling. I think catching people who set off too fast was in the other thread. I love running, it's people I struggle with :lol:

    early 30's couple in a pub expressing their opionions loudly about 80s music, I had to ponder whether as they were only born in the 80s, and possibly the latter half at that, if they could legitimately have valid opinions on music from the 80s...I decided they did not :)

    it didnt help that seemed to have completely confused the 70's with the 80's in alot of the examples they were quoting at each other.

    So unless you are the age of Methuselah, you are not allowed an opinion on J S Bach?

    No. And the Berilin Philharmonic aren't much good since the original line up changed.

    I'll tell you what 'grinds my gears ' ( re family guy) -- people who put an upward inflection at the end of each and every sentence -- like you weren't expecting what they are about to end the sentence with cos it's obvious to them that YOUR JUST SO STUPID compared to them. Mostly young girls do this -- why ?

    choice ... in particular; too much choice.

    the Kask Mojito .... yay it fits and doesn't look too stupid, I'll get one ..... but what colour ? .... there are too many to choose from and I don't know what defines me.

    white, white and black, black and white, black, black and red, black and yellow, black and green, black and blue, red and black, blue and white, white and blue, white and red, green and red and black, ARRRRRGH

    I have a black and red bike, a blue and black bike, a green bike an orange bike a red bike and a black bike ..... cant match to the bikes.

    My clothing isn't colour coded .. WHAT COLOUR HELMET DO I GET ... and what is wrong with me, why cant I choose, what does it matter ?

    Arsenal fans who think it's hell being a gooner.

    Yes, because CL football year in year out, few league titles, fa cups etc for the past 2 decades is hell.

    Just try being a Coventry f*cking City fan and then you'll know what hell looks like.

    Apparently that isn't the (only) reason for it.

    It can arise from a lack of confidence or self esteem. Everything being said becomes a question, as if the speaker is unsure how it will be received or if it's right.
