    Doing an online IQ test, then finding out you have to pay for the results. So I still don't know whether or not I'm clever. :roll: :roll: :roll:

    Someone popped up on my FB feed, they had done an online IQ test and scored 150% :shock: since when was it measured in percentages? :lol:

    People who walk about pretending to be in a phone call with someone when they are clearly not. The give away is when the phone rings.

    People who pull out in front of you in your car whilst passing a junction only to then sit 10mph below the speed limit despite there being no cars behind you! wait 2 more seconds then pull out of the junction, easy.

    Nearly the same as above: Motorists wanting to turn right from the opposite side of the road who cannot wait a couple of more seconds and pull out alongside me. Just wait till I've gone past!

    The attempt by retailers to import the Black Friday idea on us. I really wish they'd bugger off.

    "Spreadable" butters that go brick hard in the fridge but turn to a watery jelly when you leave them out.

    Chemtrails. People are gradually blowing the whistle on it like Kristen Meghan. The fact that we can observe these things kinda gives it away, we just don't know what they consist of or why they are being sprayed.

    Ed Sheeran. Christ, he makes Mick Hucknall's music sound testosterone-laden. And you can add to this list any of the other genital-less purveyors of crap who clog up the charts these days. 34 and I'm complaining about young people's music being too tame. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :roll:

    HAVING TO LOG OUT AND BACK IN AGAIN EVERY TIME I VISIT THIS FORUM, WHAT A USELESS BUNCH OF .......

    They can't even operate a forum correctly, doesn't happen on other fora, this reflects really badly on the company that supplies this forum.

    This is a symptom of modern youth. These days they are rubbish, especially the male members of this new species. Stupid chicken hair, skinny pants around their ankles, crap music (see above), always focused on their phones which they hold about six inches from their face so they stumble around like gormless idiots. Thousands of friends on FB but can't hold a conversation. They don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't rebel or have an opinion on anything. WTF are they for? I fear for the future of Britain sometimes :roll:
    OK perhaps the next generation isn't trivial :wink:

    So are you saying that this forum is being run without supporting one of the most popular devices available, that surely couldn't be what is happening here :D

    Just tried to logout and in again on a 'normal' laptop and the site wouldn't allow me to log out!

    In the US it represents the start of christmas shopping after Thanksgiving. In the UK it means we have chavs fighting in Tesco over televisions.

    Yes, I've seen this argued on another forum, and I'm not denying that something that might be happening because I just don't know.

    But, just because that it's possible for a plane to do this doesn't mean that every plane you see with a trail behind it is spraying a chemical, which is how some arguments go and is stupidity.

    Those bloody signature strips on the back of credit/debit cards. Who has a signature that small?

    Tw*ts who use the word "source" as a verb, meaning "buy" or "find". As in "I've sourced a packet of screws at the hardware store."

    People who 'pull the trigger' on something, instead of 'buying' something.

    Bad enough bringing Black Friday over here, but not satisfied with that we now have stores calling it 'Black Friday weekend'. :roll:

    My peeve last week was only a general observation - "Phillip Schofield on every TV programme".

    Today he is literally doing a 24H "TV marathon" where he pops up on every programme. :lol:

    I was only joking about being peeved by him, he is one of the more seemingly trustworthy people on TV.

    I remember his first appearance on CBBC as a kid, he was clueless.

    I grew up near a cold war American airforce base (in the UK). The base bought neighbouring houses for the ground staff. Our next-door neighbours for instance worked there.

    During the summer crop sprayers used to fly over our house and garden and spray us with chemicals. To use one of those Americanism that are so disliked :lol: - I sh*t you not.

    Don't even get me started on Yankisms.

    American: "Oh my garsche you have gadda be freaking kiddin' me right now?"

    English translation: "You're joking?"

    Also they only know one long word in the US - "misogyny" (why that word, who knows) and thus they use it all the time. Learn another word. :roll:

    "Leaky faucet?"

    WHAT?! Is that a medical term? Nope, its just a leaking tap to an American.

    "What's a spanner" they ask, lol.

    "Do the math" when it is mathematics aka mathS

    They never believe me when I try to tell them we let them win the "war" of "independence". Yep, that's why people like Rudy Giuliani still come to London to this day to get knighthoods and we are joined at the hip to a collection of states that only 200 years ago we were fighting? Sure... we did let them think they had won, I am 99% sure about that. They have practically no culture and what culture there was there, I mean real culture, is long gone.
