    Englands shirts for the T20 format looking more like a football shirt.

    Artisan - commonly used instead of home made and thus used as an excuse for charging £4 for a small loaf of bread at markets.

    Just because you make money from it doesn't make you a professional.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    That Jet2 advert with the 'Hold my hand ' song...
    If I was holding hands with that kid or missus I'd be shouting "stop f*cking dragging me around will you!"

    A very below average singer, whom I might even give a run for his money...... And I'm shite.
    Thought his band were just as bad, very amateur, the kind that can be found at any pub during midweek open sessions.

    Why is it that you come across certain plastic that will not be super-glued and yet that silly frikking black cap on the tube gets welded together?

    Another fantastic car sticker this weekend.

    "Please be patient, I'm lowered"

    Fark off! You voided the right to patience when you decided a set of lowering springs on a 20 year old 1.6 Ford Focus would look cool.

    People crying at work.

    As I type that I feel that I'm being a total c*nt. But someone here volunteers at a local show/performance thing and has just found out one of the horses has died. Massive gasp and then massive breakdown.

    Cue awkward atmosphere in the office.

    I understand people are different, and I'd get it if it was a friend/relative or pet even....but a horse at a show you volunteer for a few months a year and miss most practice's as your too busy to turn up?

    Many years ago I was selling a set of lowered race springs for a Dolomite Sprint to a lad, bloke behind him (a regular nuisance) leans forward and tells him the springs are too high and he'll have to cut two coils off them. I told my customer to ignore the other guy as he would have no suspension travel and the car would be undriveable.
    A couple of weeks later I overtook a Dolly Sprint crawling down the road with it's belly on the floor. Glanced left as I did so to see the lad I'd told not to cut the springs down driving. What a tool.

    You should have reassured the person in question by gently telling them the horse will be making it's next appearance - AT CRUFTS!

    And now I have to hear them tell everyone and anyone about just how upset she was yesterday. All jovial: I was really upset yesterday....had some bad news yesterday, then the sombre telling of the tale.

    My f*cking life.

    It's 11pm or past that, I'm lying in bed just mentally shutting down for the night, and Mrs Slog says "Have we paid for the holiday?"

    :shock: "What? erm, I'm not sure, I can't remember. Why NOW?"

    "It's just that they were talking about it at work today and some people said they'd had to pay for their hols this week, anyway, night night" ....................... Snore!

    Great! Thanks a bunch. I'm now wide awake, trying to recall if we did pay it in full when we booked, or if we've missed some sort of deadline when we were supposed to have done something, and therefore are we still going at all. Worry etc. :evil:

    Willy whacking toilet seats -- the ones that won't stay up on their own when your having a pee and you have to do contortions to hold the seat up with your knee.

    I'm sticking with freakishly big willy (mainly because I don't want to feel freakish, being able to control bib shorts and willy with one hand :oops: )

    Easy open tabs which aren't easy open. Specifically bacon packaging. My only conclusion is that bacon packaging people are all w4nkers.

    I always wanted to ask whether funeral directors feel a little stiff in the morning.

    Revolving doors or rather people that can't grasp the concept that if you get close to them or try to get into the opening just before is disappears the whole lot gets jammed.

    Also, having a lovely big hotel room the other night, going in for a bath and discovering that rather than making use of the available space for a wardrobe in the bedroom area they had pushed it into the bathroom and fitted a 4 foot long bath into the remaining space.
