A few drops of rain and suddenly you can't walk down the high street without having to dodge and duck every two seconds, because of all the massive golf umbrellas (So called because they're big enough to shelter a golf course under). Come on, it won't hurt you, it's only water, not sulphuric acid.
Whatever happened to acid rain? When I were a lad, it was all the rage - going to kill us all you know......
Whatever happened to heavy industry, steel mills, coal fired power stations and use of coal as a domestic source of heating? Less sulphur emissions.

People that promise pics of their sister, then renege on their promise.
Christmas day, I've already said! Fully clothed though!
Please ensure that it has its own thread in BB though, not lost on here.
For me, it's people who stand/sit too close too you. Alternatively those who sit/stand too close to you even though you've told them hundreds of times before that they are too close to you.
Or people with verbal diarrheoa, filling the air with noise from their mouths when there is no need. Wasting words.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Because you're different and special. You have a soft, caring, warm, gentle touch. Especially when you touched, well, you know where. Under the bridge, so to speak........
Admittedly your smile doesn't light up your eyes and warm my heart like TDLOs, but no ones does.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Train communters do that even when they don't have to. When I had to get t oEuston a couple of weeks ago I was stood on the platform at Norbiton (Reggie Perrin's station) and there was a woman stood a little way off to my left, nothing unusual. A couple of minutes later there was a bloke stood right up against her, bit strange I thought. A minute or so later and there was a cluster of people all stood really close up to her, really strange I thought. Maybe she smells really good. Then I noticed the freaks were all standing in little huddles where the doors normally open. Whilst I was stood in my own little space. Apparently this is normal behaviour for train communters. Am I the only one that finds that more than a bit strange?

1. Frottage away, but please don't felch in public. It's just wrong.
2. I am good friends with a lovely, lovely girl who is a buyer for a top fashion house. She is also incredibly, incredibly posh, but so lovely with it. Let's call her TDPFHB.
I arranged to meet her one day for lunch and drinking in Old London Town.
Arriving at the tube to meet her, an ashen faced TDPFHB came out, grabbed my arm and demanded that I instantly taker her for a large gin. Now.
Having necked the bottle, she explained to me that this (her words, adopt very plum accent - sort of a posher version of Diana style) "awful, awful, awful scrote of a man had modified his rain coat".
Turns out he had cut the lining of the pockets so that he could extract his penis and waggle it at passing posh burds, innit.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

They've got this down to a fine art in Surbiton, little huddles of people equally spaced out along the platform, same people in each huddle every day jockeying for position.

Actually, this one's not trivial, it's looking likely to cause the end of civilisation in blood and fire. Not that that bothers me, because it will have killed me well before then.
To what do I refer? It is, of course, the inane use of the phrase "jaw-dropping", which now appears to be spreading like a virus from those clickbait links at the bottom of the page into actual MSM headlines*.
But the final straw has to be its hideous mutation into "xxxxxx will drop your jaw".
I think my blood pressure is unlikely ever to go down again.
*OK, I know that most of them are just clickbait too.0
