I appreciate I'd be annoyed if I miss a bus that runs ahead of schedule (although it would/should be reflected in the tracker app) but it's still annoying when you're on board.

On the bus subject, when they pull into bus stops and leave their arse hanging out into the road. I presume this is to make it easier to get back out into the flow of traffic, but it’s just dangerous, causing drivers going in the same direction to have to move partly onto the other side of the road to get by, and I don’t believe the bus driver can see what traffic is behind them when they want to move off as the bus is angled blocking their view
The celebrations advert, some guys just shouting “whoop”. I miss the days when they put a bit of effort into adverts.
Throbbers walking about in shorts just now. Why? You're not a tough guy you just look stupid.
Not quite the same, but after our Parkrun on Saturday a woman broke the ice on Loch Dunmore and went in for 5 minutes. There are a few wild swimmers here and they go in regardless of the weather. Now that sounds mental to me.Quote:

Keep the core and head warm and you'll be fine.
Same here, I only put on long trousers for work when temperatures drop below zero.Quote:

If I’m going for an outdoor swim I’ll wear a t-shirt and shorts for a little while before swimming. It’s easier to acclimatise to the water quicker that way.
Hmmmm....that might explain it although I doubt if the fat bassa in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops I saw buying bacon and rolls at the Co-op on the day after Storm Arwen was going for a swim somehow :greengrinQuote:

Incidentally I always get smart comments for always wearing gloves, it's something footballers get when they wear short sleeves and gloves as well. I always get cold hands regardless of how the rest of my body feels so protecting the extremities just makes everything more comfortable.
I'm a fat bassa and you'll often see me having a bacon roll after my swim too, if I've not been harpooned that is :greengrinQuote:

White onions. How hard is it to get them??? Tried in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Aldi and Lidl. Even looked in independent Greengrocers but had no luck. Beginning to think they're extinct now.
That will be me, keep my upper body warm and the brisk walk keeps the legs warm, I really don’t think I look stupid, but if anyone mocks me while out I will kick the s*** out of them, or try. :greengrinQuote:

Have you room for a window box? Onions don't take a lot of space, salad leaves between them.Quote:

They’re manky, because if you wash them they can’t go in the dishwasher and take 8 days to dry out, the lids are stupid and they don’t take anything packed in metric weights because they’re designed for apothecaries from the 1700’s.
Foxes brandy snaps, they look great on the box, but when you open them it’s just the outer shell. If you look really closely on the box it does say in tiny writing that the cream is not included. Biggest disappointment of the year so far :greengrin
Stuck behind people fannying about in a queue. It doesn’t matter if I’m in a rush or early for something but my blood boils being behind someone who is making a total arse of whatever it is they are trying to do.
I can be far too early for something and I’ve got loads of time to kill, but the irrational part of me will still boil up at the person taking an absolute age even when it makes no difference to me as I’ll still have time to kill either way.
