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:

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:

He was an RE teacher, which made it all the better.

I've reached the pre middle age of being nearly 33 and take great delight in embarrassing my 8 year old, to no embarrassment on me, by wearing my 'sliders' or flip flops for you oldies, with my jeans on to go to the shops with him. That's a milestone you have to reach imo.Quote:

Not sure if it’s a Hibs.net joke to question when we’ll sign players again, but if it is it’s not funny. Not sure why it annoys me so much when folk keep asking if we won’t be signing players until the deferrals are paid. Despite the countless explanations. The distinction between deferrals and full pay is not particularly difficult to understand.
M&S is a death trap. Not enough room between aisles. The worst is Iceland at Corstorphine. No room at all and you get people going round with huge trolleys of junk blocking the aisles. If it's at all busy you're holding your breath as you slink past folk and the queue snakes round the far aisle.Quote:

There was a very long route I had to take to get to the queue (the queue was 2 people, but I felt like I walked a mile around their maze :greengrin ) and then the lady at the front seemed to be controlling things really well and letting people into the shop when isles were clear and depending on if you were going for fruit/veg. Then once I got inside there suddenly seemed to be loads of people going in every direction.
The most peaceful shop seems to be home bargains - lengthy queues outside at the weekends, but it's very quiet and controlled inside.
"It’s not a death trap really, brushing past someone in a supermarket aisle doesn’t condemn you to death or Covid"
So why are we bothering then? I mean surely that is the essence of this business - the keeping apart from people thing?
I think your posts are funny.

I think your posts are daft, but hey ho that’s the joy of a forum. Be careful out there!Quote:

My peeve now though is the queueing on the first day things open - as if they are only going to be fleetingly available. This amount of weeks in I'm as keen as the next man to go the the recycling centre, but creating a significant tailback waiting for hours the first day it opens? Nah, I've waited this long.
McDonalds now going the same way. Would be a welcome wee treat but I can live without the 100 car wait.
Yep huge queues of cars at mc Donald's at ljvingstone.its like rush hour
There is in fact no queues at the tips due to the booking system they have in place. The system is excellent and well organised and the tip at Sighthill flowed with no queues.Quote:

Why do people do that? Why would you go for something (McDonalds, Costa, IKEA, KFC, Krispy Kreme) and decide to join a long, long queue and wait for hours? Just to get a cup of coffee, a doughnut, a burger or a piece of chicken.Quote:

All so some parent can reward their child after 10 weeks of lockdown or so some millennial can update their insta feed.
I've nothing against the product itself, just the utterly ridiculous desire to be the first person through the door (service window) as if their lives depended on it.
No doubt it'll be the same folk that currently have a years supply of toilet roll and hand soap in their house 🙄
There is in West Lothian - started at 7am and people queued for hours.Quote:

I like going to Tesco at the moment. When you leave it's like you're a celeb at the airport. They say thanks and goodbye.
Mind you, this evening a callow youth said "See yiz later, bud" before returning to his mobile phone.
I felt it lowered the tone a bit.
People who run in these blue EMF t-shirts.
'Finisher 2017'
Good for you. Maybe its time you started wearing some new gear?
I'm wearing my 2016 one right now. Still in good nick and is a decent technical top for running in.Quote:

I'm just tight. If I pay £50 to enter a race and get a T shirt at the end of it then I'm wearing it rather than shelling out another £30 on something from Nike or Adidas.Quote:

I've got an old rugby jersey that I got in 2008 that is still going strong too. It only gets used in the colder months though.
I've got a Ralph Lauren jumper that still gets the odd outing if it's really cold... I bought it from a shop in the mall underneath the twin towers! [emoji15]Quote:

I can beat that, I am currently wearing an IOM TT t-shirt from 1999, I have tour t-shirts from various rock bands dating back to the early 90s and some bike rally t-shirts of the same vintage. All still get worn, why would you throw out stuff that is ok and holds memories. Never ever seen the need to have the latest fashion and bin what is still wearable. Sadly my son doesn't share my thoughts on this and costs me a ****ing fortune! Look out for me at ER I'll be the one in the flared chords and tank top 😀😀

I touched on this on another thread but fairly recently I had to buy a lot of new clothes and decided to opt for a lot of stuff that was a bit smarter. A bit more 'put together'. However, what this did was set me apart from the vast majority of people who's go to outfit was basically jeans, trainers and a branded top. Nothing wrong with that and that was what I used to wear regularly. One thing I did notice was the positive reactions, which was great as it's always nice to receive a compliment, but there were negative reactions too. Sneering looks and rather snide comments like 'so you think you're better than us' and 'who are you trying to impress'. I just respond in a nice, non confrontational way, as I don't want to come across as arrogant. The truth is that I dress nicely because looking good makes me feel good and I'm confident enough in myself to wear something that deviates from societal norms. I sometimes wonder if this negativity comes from them feeling threatened by someone with confidence and perhaps a mirror being held up exposing a lack of faith in themselves. If they were truly content with their own style (which usually doesn't exist as what someone wears isn't important), then why try to bring others down?
So if you meet me in my burgundy suit and pink shirt and start asking yourself what I'm trying to compensate for, I'm sure my warm smile and excellent chat will make you think twice.:greengrin
The irony is that I haven't spent any more money on clothes than a lot of these 'haters' have. A few suits and shirts that cost less than one of their stone island jumpers, chinos instead of jeans, wool v necks instead of loud Adidas hoodies and a tendency to choose river island over sports direct (unless I actually need stuff for sport). Brands on clothing, especially expensive ones, aren't something I do any more, so who's the real 'show off'? :dunno:
Sniff sniff.Quote:

Running a marathon is a big achievement and I suppose it can make you feel good every time you wear it about the house or even look at it. Certain clothes/objects/watches etc...can invoke memories.
If you hit a wall when you're running, maybe you can draw inspiration from your shirt. You've done this once so you can do it again!
Anyway, sorry if I've went a bit too deep in this thread. People with BO at work...what's all that about😄
I prefer to dress differently rather than like a fashion clone.Quote:

Trolleys. It’s likely just me, but every single time I go to the supermarket I manage to pick a trolley that makes the most horrendous racket. The thing is, they all rattle when you get them from the trolley park so you don’t know it’s going to be an attention drawing noise machine until you get it on to the smooth surface of the supermarket floor, and by that time it’s too late to go back and change it, and what’s the point? I’ll only just grab another one that’s probably worse!!
This has blighted me for years, and a few years ago I decided to keep a running count of how many times I picked a duff trolley. Reading that back makes me sound absolutely mental, but this is what it’s reduced me to!!! The last time I had a trolley that didn’t sound like it was going to fall apart was around Xmas time 2018!!! there must be a way to monetise this, I should offer my skill to all the supermarkets.......’Duff Trolley Finder’, £20 an hour.
I need a drink after that, I’m away to get trollied :greengrin
