i have no interest in horse racing as such, just see the occasional Facebook rant round the time of the big races. Just wanted to say thanks for providing such thoughtful posts (as always!) on a subject that you are clearly knowledgable and interested in, but haven't got on the soapbox about, you've just presented facts in a constructive and manner befitting a discussion rather than an argument.

cheers :aok:

Thanks, trust me I could send anyone to sleep talking about national hunt racing. It's second only to Hibs in my sporting loves.

I can absolutely understand why people have misgivings about racing, no one feels the loss more than those who look after the horses everyday and those of us who follow the sport as others do football. I think a lot of fans have had the internal moral debate more than once. What I dislike is the misonformation that a lot of casual observers make their judgements on (as an example PETA tweeted after the National that The Last Samurai suffered a 'heart wrenching fall', the horse completed the course and finished 16th!). I think it's important that the, to quote a topical phrase, fake news is challenged and people make their decision based on facts.

Anyway enough of me taking this thread off topic.

Facebook updates that start "when you..."

That awkward moment when...

Emails or text messages that you receive and the sender signs off with a 'x' after their name and you hardly know them. Even worse, I've had guys do this too (hopefully in error). :grr:

Aggressive walkers!!.......Basically folk who seem to think they own the pavement and won't deviate from their current path so you have to almost pirouette round them.

Yup. Or folk who walk into you on their phone or who walk three abreast on a narrow path etc.

Joggers who run on the spot waiting to cross at junctions. I can understand why they do it however, they still look like right wallies.

I run and I don't do this. It has never impacted my performance at any point. It takes about 30 seconds to a couple of minute tp get across the street.

People with large rucksacks who seem oblivious that when they turn round , they scatter everyone standing near them .

Tourists in a large crowd who film everything on their phones blocking the view of others behind .

Kids walking behind you in a queue who constantly kick your heels and the parents of said kids who get uppity when you tell the kid to stop it.

Yes , I've been out with the Bairns to Edinburgh Castle :-)

Can you add people that read books while they walk as well please?

No need, even if it doesn't really impact me at all.

Just tell them to stop!

There's nae traffic today, but that doesn't mean I get to work any quicker, because the bus just sits at each bus stop for a couple of mins.

What's the point? Corstorphine to Princes Street could easily have been 15 mins quicker.

It should run to a different timetable on a bank holiday.

I swear the only time the bus didnt wait at a stop for a couple of mins was when there was a boy legging it along the road trying to get on. Bus drivers are dicks.

Its a Saturday service is it not?

It is a different timetable today, due to it being a bank holiday.

Retail or bar staff that pay no attention to the counter and seem genuinely shocked, and sometimes annoyed, that you're standing there waiting to be served.

Clifford the Big Red Dog. Even within the context of kids tv it just doesn't make any sense. Teletubbies is more believable FFS.
