The 2 block of public toilets at each end of the meadows are absolutely howling, and thats with attendants on duty.

I was in the ones near Pipe Lane at Porty beach maybe 6 years ago. They still had the "VD and allied diseases " stickers from the 60s on the walls.

At least now, unlike 6/7 year old me, I know that VD doesn't stand for Very Dangerous and that Allied Diseases don't come from Yanks and our other WW2 partners!

Still there about 4 years ago but unlike the description at the Meadows, didnt reek of urine. Not changed a huge amount since the 60s. Unlike the 60s, the only public loo along the mile from Eastfield to Kings Road.

When you are struggling with something and quite obviously need another pair of hands, yet the other person close by just stands there watching you struggle.

People* that moan that you keep the curtains shut and windows open during the day during hot weather, so then they open the curtains and close the window (spiders get in apparently) but then complain that the bedroom is too hot when you go to bed - or even worse, complain that I'm complaining that the bedroom is too hot.




* by people I mean my other half

Restaurant tables that have one ****-off huge leg in the middle so you've nowhere to put your feet.

Maybe one for the driving thread, though it’s not really driving related.

I went to fill my car up with petrol last night but the fuel cap wouldn’t come off. It was totally stuck. Brute force didn’t work. My car is just over one year old so I phoned the dealership service centre this morning. “Sorry we are only allowed to book a certain number of appointments per week for cars that are still in warranty and we’ve reached the limit for this week and we’ve only one appointment left for next week and it would have to be Thursday. Sorry, it is a manufacturer imposed restriction. You might be better trying the other Kia dealership at Newbridge.”

Tried Newbridge and as an aside, (and despite phoning the number listed as the service department on their website) I was initially told that the service department isn’t allowed to make appointments and I must call their national call centre instead (WTF?)

Anyway, I got the same message from them about there being a limit on in-warranty appointments except it was an even longer wait.

So, I’m stuck with a car with barely enough fuel in it to get to the dealership that I can’t use for over a week.

Thats ridiculous.

That's really poor from Kia.

You've maybe tried this but have you checked to see if there is another fuel cap release section in inside of the the boot? Think most Kia's have them, like a wee plastic hatch you open, usually on the side where the fuel cap is? If so, should be able to pop it open from there....

Ant Middleton. I’ve listened to two or three of his audiobooks and I just find him a bit phony. The way he was let go from the SAS: Who Dares Wins and also just a few other things don’t project the image I think he wants to give off.

I used to quite like him, before the things you’ve mentioned, but I think he’s got an inflated sense of how much his opinions on any given topic are

That argument appears to be endless, but technically they can legally debate as slowly as they like.

When someone young passes away and a friend or family members posts about it on social media to let people know or express condolences and people think it's appropriate to ask 'what happened', 'how did they die' etc etc. **** off, you don't need to know every detail.

People being proven wrong and them being unable to admit it, instead continually doubling down on their ludicrous position with ridiculous irrelevant arguments.

Applies to slow coaches on the driving peeves thread and some of our politicians alike.

There are precious few public loos left now. You have to go into a shop or pub and ask nicely.
The one in Corstorphine closed some years ago and is now a deli cafe place. I still can't bring myself to go in.
It's quite busy.
Standing room only some days.

People who believe that a tweet is irrefutable evidence and then resort to childlike name calling on the Internet.

Getting injured. Fractured my arm last Friday. It’s fine in a neutral position but I often forget about it and go to move it as normal only to then get a painful reminder it’s still fractured!

Getting old. Same issue, but with no need to injure any particular body part!


Get well soon.

Take aways that tie the handles of a plastic bag ridiculously tight, so much so you have to resort to ripping the bag open meaning you can’t reuse the bag.

Either of you could start you own new interesting adult conversation on the thread instead of childishly complaining on a different thread about it.

My girlfriend said to me that she doesn't think I understand the meaning of irony.

Which was ironic as I was waiting on a bus at the time.
