A six inch honey oat with turkey ham and cheese - toasted.

And he said "is that all for you love? No cookies crisps or drinks? " and i gave him the stare and growled that was all thank you.

Honey, love or doll, how do they rank? Maybe chuck a hen or darling in there too. I'm actually being reasonably serious, I've witnessed an interesting range of reactions to these labels.

I don't use any but, I've always found hen particularly weird. 😏

International Guinness marketing day.

A day for Scottish and English students to stagger about, force down a pint of Guinness and use words like 'craic' for no apparent reason.

Guinness is all over the place these days. It's a triumph of marketing.

I like a well-kept pint of it myself but I have to say that despite its hearty, Irish rugby-playing image it's not actually very strong. Five pints of Stella or whatever will knock you flat but Guinness drinkers stay upright. Perhaps that's why it's a good session drink.

Drinking lager from the neck: a brewer's delight. By the time you reach the bottom the beer is flat so buy another etc etc.

After two or three swigs it's a goner.

Why do every single ad for bottled lager show young men drinking from the bottle.

Clever brainwashing?

Can't say I've noticed that, maybe German beer is different. What I have noticed is that some beers taste better from the bottle rather than out of a glass and vice versa.

Makes room for more meaning the toilet won't get blocked.

All to do with the shape of the bottle/glass in your hand and nowt to do with the beer if you watched inside the factory a couple of weeks ago.

They are all pretty condescending but if he had called me darling i think id have jumped the counter and slapped him a shot.

Folk in an open plan office who put their phone on loudspeaker when on a call. Put a headset on or get a meeting room, ignorant gits!

People who seem incapable of showing the appropriate respect, formality and social graces at social events. I thought it may be a generational thing but it seems it's not endemic to one group.

A lady in my work just stated she doesn't want to attend a funeral of a relative so rather than simply not attend or make a phone call or write a letter expressing sympathy and explain she can't attend she has decided to turn up at the crematorium just long enough so a few people see her outside then sneak away before they enter the building. I'm actually stunned anyone thinks that is acceptable behaviour.

I was at another funeral recently where a couple of people were filming the Minister during the eulogy. I was also at a wedding last summer where the celebrant asked at the start of the service that people please refrain from taking photos at the request of the couple and don't post anything on social media that day. Within seconds of the service starting there was a sea of phones covering faces and the wedding was all over Instagram and Facebook within the hour.

Finally we had a Baptism during Mass recently and one women swanned in slurping a Costa coffee, a couple of people in front of me spent the whole Mass alternating between laughing, yawning and sighing and another group thought it was ok to take selfies throughout.

I accept in all instances people have different beliefs and place differing levels of importance on such things but on each occasion it's obviously important to the people who are the focal point of the service. Is it really too much to ask to show a bit respect for somewhere between 20 minutes and an hour?

Those are all massively embarrassing! I'm not a Facebook/Twitter person and I find the invasion of personal privacy particularly galling, I've got no interest in seeing what state I'm in over the course of a night out, particularly when I've not even been asked if I mind being in the photo.

Currently sitting in quite a quiet bar where some arse is speaking loudly on his mobile to I think his wife. Family business too. You cant help hearing this no matter how much you try to not listen. Why?

Correct. Why do we have to listen to phone conversations on the bus? I've been on the point of wresting the phone out of some moron's grasp and chucking it out of the window.
Another pet hate is folk who eat food - often garlicky - on the bus. And they always sit in the seat behind me!

People that don’t appear to understand how phones work.

I seem to be seeing more and more people talking into the speaker but not having the earpiece to their ear. I don’t get it, what if the other person is trying to say something?

Perhaps the phones are on handsfree?
