Forgetting to shake a new bottle of ketchup and then inadvertently squeezing a puddle of seperated vinegar all over your food.
People writing "darn saff" or similar weirdness when talking about "down South"
Can a transfer window not just close or end. Does it have to "slam shut"
I follow Ralf Little on social media. He put up something saying he gets lots of messages saying people find themselves dancing to the ‘Death in Paradise’ theme tune, so if you do, pop through a video so he can put together a compilation.
Quite a few videos of groups of people having fun on the sofa and groups of students and the like, filmed with one hand whilst the other is flailing about with the group. Fun, in the spirit of it all.
My annoyance are the predictable ones where it’s just them, they’ve set a tripod up, they’re fully grown men and women, and they’re pulling faces and pointing to the camera like it’s the final of Strictly. Cringeworthy, attention seeking, horrible. The sort of people who don’t get invited to a dinner party, BBQ, or games night as they end up on the table with a lampshade on their head singing songs by Queen. Call themselves “the life and soul of the party” whilst everyone else calls them “tosser”.

I'm sure it was Sean Lock that said when you hear someone being described as a bit of a character it's best not to set the bar too high, it just likely to mean that they're the type of a******e who'll dip their c**k in your pint whilst you're away to the toilet! 😀Quote:

Running out of screenwash halfway round the bypass.
Ready made food where the seal is just supposed to peel off easily. You either singe your fingers breaking it open or need a sharp knife to get into it. It never peels open easily for me.
That’s a good one.Quote:

I know they need this to set up the chase scene but come on, surely they would get trained to wait until they are right next to the person before alerting them to their presence to give them a better chance of stopping them if they decide to bolt.
To be fair, trying to clean the whole bypass is quite the task.Quote:

"Eye-wateringly". Whatever happened to "very", "extremely" or even "exceptionally"?
It can damage the paintwork as it contains salt (according to my mechanic).Quote:

If you never use it at all then re-map it to something useful.Quote:

You mechanic is wrong. There is salt and there is salt.Quote:

So the fairy liquid aficionados can carry on without worry!

People who probably only travel on bucket and spade holidays. Treat the plane like a rowdy bar, lean on seats, shout up the aisle and laugh like hyenas at their own jokes. When asked very politely to move off
the back of my wife's seat proceed to shout in your face" there's always one snobby old bxxxxxx!"

It was £3 (or £4...) in Lidl. Made me think of this post. Stock up! :greengrinQuote:
