I think it's something to do with absent friends in Andy's case.

I remember the post - I agreed with that as well. :agree:

This poppy stuff on social media.

“Keep the poppy going”

“This is not racist blah blah”

**** off. I’ve never heard anyone say it’s racist.

Eye catching Hibs result headline that turns out to be about womens' football.

Scottish folk on Twitter trying to be witty and typing in their accent for retweets and likes. Usually attention seeking slappers from the west. Boils my piss.

😀 correct!

When you phone almost any big company, often not freephone, only to hear a recording saying you can go online. Well I've been online to find your phone number (does anyone use the phone book these days?) and I want to speak to a human being. That's why I'm phoning!

Dogs in parks etc without a lead. Yes they do jump on me with muddy paws and dribbly jaws. As often as not the owners or handlers or whatever you call selfish people who allow this just call the animal's name! Control your pest!!

Very annoying. I had 3 run up and do just that to me when I was on a run earlier this year too - my attempt to escape seen me run into nettles (wearing shorts). Owners were shouting but clearly couldn't control their dogs. Thankfully I was just myself so mostly just waited it out - if I was with my girlfriend who is scared of dogs then her panic could have set them off more.

So the peeve relates to owners rather than the dogs then? I'm certainly not walking round the park with my dog on a lead.

Also, dogs that honk. We were sat in the pub the other week and this huge big thing came in with the owners who proceeded to feed it some dog chew things. Within about 10 minutes the pub was honking like a manky dog basket. We had to move it was that bad.

Are owners oblivious of the smell or they just not care?

That guy on "come dine with me"
Speak properly you twat

I'm pretty sure you don't have to, the law only says that the dog has to be under control,,,, many are not!

I'll put my hands up and admit a dog under my care jumped on to a pushchair and muddied up a young boy. I was dog sitting a Ridgeback (so not the smallest) when I took it a walk at 7 in the morning, it's recall was normally quite good so I was happy for it to have a run off the lead at the local park. As we turned a corner at David Lloyds, the dug spies someone new to play with and bolts over. I'd as well have been mute for all the good my shouting was doing, by the time I'd caught up he had his muddy paws on the infant. Although he's the friendliest of beasts, strangers wouldn't know this. Thankfully the "mum" was very understanding but I was so annoyed at myself, I'd looked after this dog every now and then since he was a pup,,,,, he doesn't get off the leash at all now!

Any product name that replaces S with Z, like City Roomz, seriously winds me up more than it should

Tip: if you're going to go out running in shorts in a public park, smear your crotch with peanut butter to keep dogs away from you. :agree:

That wouldn't end well - I'm allergic to peanuts.

Alternatively, for a more intense workout stick a mars bar up your arse and encourage them to chase you

This thread is turning a bit weird....the dog is dead.

Something that bugs me is the number of people that refer to the ground as the floor, particularly when you see police tv programmes telling suspects to get on the floor when their out in the street.
to me a floor is indoors and the ground is outside. :confused:

Then you'll find yourself pursued by the Rolling Stones which is a bonus I suppose.

Folk getting "UEFA" wrong.

Looking for Holiday flights and the departure and return airport are different . WTF?

Non-iron shirts. Just a lie.
