The fact that there’s now another tier to prime. Watching Fallout last night and it had adverts. Another £3.99 (I think) to remove them. That’s poor.

Reading pet peeves and having no idea what they mean.

All was ok, as I had my receipt and I noticed the owner watching from his restaurant.
Apparently, it was and still is a crackdown on tax evasion in a country where paying tax is voluntary....
Adverts and on platforms like Netflix, the previews being so much louder than the programmes themselves
Power outage in may, seriously?!
Not really a peeve more anger at a serious issue. Wanton vandalism.
Every other day now I seem to read something on social media about people vandalising community assets. Local football clubs seem to get it particularly badly. Pitches churned up by motorbikes, artificial pitches burnt, changing rooms trashed etc etc. I read the other day about Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway being firebombed. Seriously what can a bunch of guys preserving a heritage line and building a model railway have done to deserve that?
I could almost understand, if not condone, if it was bored and frustrated kids but the guys charged with the latter offence are both 32. That's not that much younger than me and I can't imagine ever getting the urge to go and burn down a railway ticket office or dig up the goalmouth at the local park to spoil the bairns games at the weekend.
I remember taking my kids to a park in Clermiston and some ****bag had smeared dog ****** all the way down the chute.Quote:

Ah, the good old days of falling off the chute and monkey bars onto tarmac and beamingQuote:

Same at Glasgow. We had to get cash out as the pay point failed in Boots. The only place that sold GF food for the Mrs.Quote:

My mate Iain does that, I think that he just can't spell. 🤭Quote:

I done that when I shaved my head, forgot to get my Wife to check the back. Got to the bus stop and felt something flapping at the back of my head, felt it and it was a big ****ing divot, I was mortified, thankfully I was wearing a skid lid all day 🤬Quote:

Considered this one myself. There’s so many ways to open social media posts that get on my tits that I probably shouldn’t be on social media 😁Quote:

Getting a tear in one end of the cling film and not noticing until someone else in the household has decided to use it several times despite this...Quote:
