Always utterly precarious and higgedy piggedly. Remove the wrong fork in the wrong order and the whole bloody lot is liable to come crashing down.Quote:

And so the cycle continues (pun not intended)Quote:

Nurseries that call themselves kindergartens. I hate the Americanisation of everything in this country but this one annoys me the most. It’s a German term that the Americans have adopted and some in this country have latched on to. It appeals to your average made in Chelsea fan who wears too much make up and thinks that the word y’all is acceptable.
The noise flip flops make when someone walks. Vile.

People who ask to borrow the same thing continuously, whether it be a work colleague in the office or a neighbour at home. FFS if you need to borrow something regularly then you obviously need your own one, so get your own one!
Reading all the comments on here about shopping, packing shopping bags, storing stuff away in cupboards, washing the dishes, drying the dishes, now makes me understand why I'm divorced. You see I couldn't give a toss about all that stuff. I always thought it was womens work but I'm obviously wrong. :greengrin:greengrin:greengrinQuote:

I'm not even reading them now so probably going to get a bollocking when I miss an actual important work related message.

Bluebottles. F*** off ya annoying buzzing bassas.
:agree: I've left several media groups that were started with good intentions but descended into people sharing cat videos and other hilarious ***** that I've already been sent on other groups that were started with good intentions. One colleague started regularly posting work related stuff at 3 o'clock in the morning. Just **** off with that patter, if you want to work through the night then fine but don't ****ing text me at 3am.Quote:

I'm an old fogie and don't know flip flops by any other name. They make a flip flop noise when I walk. Slides???? weird! :greengrinQuote:

Flip flops have that weird thing that only goes between your big toe and the one next door.
FWIW I agree with the peeve though...that sound of someone shuffling about in flip flops is damn annoying.
Nah mate - those are thongs now....( Australian origin I believe ). :wink:Quote:

I prefer sandals myself. 🙂

Need to be clear though. I would never wear flip flops. They are sore when you try to squeeze the plastic rod between your toes and it also chaffs when hobbling along. They are accidents waiting to happen as they spin off to the side of your feet and cause buckled ankles.
Now Sliders ! I like sliders on holiday and in the garden but they are also dangerous things.
Not the first time one has shot off my foot while in mid stride, and i swear i nearly fell.
It was like when you think there's an extra step on the stairs. 😄
Nope they’re still flip flops. Sliders are different.Quote:
