People who go swimming but don’t really swim and just stand in the water at the end of the pool.
GTF out the way.

When you take your underwear out the drawer and think they’re inside out, you turn them to what you think is the right way only to find as you put them on that they were the right way round to begin with.

If I get to work with my own knickers on, that's a result in my book.

I take my son swimming a fair bit, usually the commie but he gets bored really easily. I am aware of my surroundings granted but there is not much to do for kids now there. The aqua dash was good but you need to book well in advance.
I found bubbles in livi a better alternative for him now as he can go on the slides but size of the pool is tiny.
They should really either cut off a bit of the pool for balls etc at commie, or have a couple hours for certain ages in the learning pool so as not to annoy people with kids (who I seem to recall have a special slot in the mornings for under 5's only))

I find it infuriating at swimming as people seem to lose all spacial awareness, i will be waiting on my boy jumping in and people will just stand in front of me so there's no room to jump even though it's obvious that's whats happening.
In saying that i turned into one of those people the previous poster was complaining about at the weekend, for years my boy loved swimming however since he learned to actually swim himself he's finding it a bit boring if there's nothing to play with so i bought a wee ball to throw around, I hated it though as i was conscious i was constantly getting in folks way and it is annoying for them, i get that.
I think with all the money spent on the commy pool recently it's shocking they couldn't have put some better stuff in for kids, I've been to a few much smaller places than Edinburgh with much better 'fun' swimming facilities than we have got here. Dunbar and Perth to name a couple of the top of my head.
Not sure if it's of interest but we went to Wester Hailes pool the other week and that was much better than the commonwealth pool, the slide was shut when we went but that seemed to be a temporary measure and they had a good bit for jumping in, there was also much more space for playing with a ball or something. The only problem was the changing rooms that resembled what i expect an Easter European prison to look like but the pool itself was great.

I go to bubbles with my youngest too but that place is just mental :-)
Noisiest pool I’ve ever been in.

It’s fantastic at WHEC.
They inflate the giant slide on a Saturday afternoon if you are interested.
It can be a pain when there is swimming lessons on and also when 2 lanes reserved for the swimming cap and Google’s brigade .
My youngest just started swimming a few months ago and can now jump off the first diving board and is loving it.
Cafe is great too .

Grammar nazism isn't always a good thing, but civilisation will shirley crumble sooner rather than later if yoofs do not grasp that when they've sent a text to someone they have texted a message, not text it.

I guess keeping with the thread my 'Peeve' is that there is no leisure pool in Edinburgh for kids. Water world was great when I was wee, shame it was closed down/not used.

Was Waterworld not sacrificed so the Commonwealth Pool could be upgraded, and we couldn't afford both?
My peeve is probably that as a nation (UK level) we seem to put so much emphasis on winning gold medals rather than encouraging the fun of activity and leisure for all. If we have a track record of winning gold medals at a particular pursuit we don't seem to have any issues finding funds, whereas things we don't do so well at (but might just manage in the future) are hopelessly underfunded.

Meadowbank being left to rot for about a year and still no sign of anything happening.
It was a great, well used facility, the bulldozers should have been in the day after it shut its doors, if they weren’t ready to work on whatever is replacing it then it shouldn’t have shut its doors.

Getting approached for a job that looks like it'll be great, and the employer is paying way less than you're currently on.

People logging on to Hibs.net to announce they’re logging off of Hibs.net because of all the nonsense and attention seeking.
Irony.

Northernhibby, NORTHERNHIBEE, 90+2, SINCE 90+2 etc.......
Shouldn't really make a difference as i like to think i take each post on it's merits rather than who the poster is but i find it really nippy, especially when they're disagreeing with each other and i get really confused

The popular 'revelling in failure' and 'hoping we lose' nonsense you get so often in here.
I was about to post it in Things You Don't Get but I get it perfectly, it's just a desperate attempt from those who aren't capable of forming an argument to try and devalue someone else's.
As if there is a single Hibs fan who doesn't want anything other than Hibs to win every single game they play!?

Sitting in a pub with a pint and something to read when the bar staff go round polishing already clean tables etc.
It is so unfriendly when there are still a few hours to go before last orders.

Poor quality meat in restaurants. Your food arrives and you've been looking forward to a tasty Rogan Josh and the first bite of lamb is all fat, gristle or bone. If I'm paying for meat, I want meat!! Same applies to chicken and beef. If they can hide rubbish meat in a sauce so you can't see it, they will. I've started having pea and paneer instead. Very tasty too.
