Kazoogate. That made me happy.

That cycling board one had me in stitches, if I remember right you were debating with a proper track cyclist about putting playing cards in your spokes because it made a nice noise

Actually, i’ll add ‘auld guys having nostalgia circle jerks about messageboard historical windups’ into my pet peeves

That cycling one has made my day 😂😂😂

The Masked Singer.

Its rubbish, I don’t even really enjoy it but I need to know who they all are

[Bridge hibs]

Sky sports football soccer Saturday panel when the scores come in and adult males shrieking every time there is a goal or other incident. Another thing about that is all the nick names, Boydy, Merse, Daws, Si, Deansy etc, ****ing grow up ffs 🤬

And the clues are so obscure you'll never guess who they are.

Wolf is 100% Marti Pellow, I was subjected to his music every day when I was living with my mum 😄

I was convinced Kingfisher was Harry Hill though 🤷🏻*♀️

Once you know who, you can fit the clues usually. The three umbrellas - wet wet wet. The picture of the guy from buffys eyes - angel eyes.

Clues are usually something like they bought a toffee crisp in 1996 or some crap.

It's just brutal telly. The standard those shows is a race to the bottom. It's grim.

I think those shows have their place.

I wouldn't really choose to watch them if it was just me but Saturday night, just in from the football, food prepared and the run of Gladiators, Masked Singer, 1% Club is pretty safe family viewing when I have my 7 and 3 year old kicking about. Unlikely to be anything age inappropriate and certainly with the former two the bairns enjoy them.

The woman from the Ionos advert. “I scoot off now”

Aye, you do that. And don’t scoot back either. Bellend.

People who take their kids out of school for a holiday and try to dress it up as something it's not.

Guy I know is currently in Tenerife with his bairns and is giving it 'who needs school, immersing kids in another culture is soooo much better for them than a classroom' on social media. Mate, it's an all inclusive in Tenerife and you haven't left your hotel grounds in 5 days. It's hardly the pyramids, WWI battlefields or Rome is it?

I don't care what other parents do with their kids and I'm certainly no grass about such things but just be honest. You are there now because you want a bit winter sun and it's cheaper to go now than it is at half term in a couple of weeks. 'Culture' has got **** all to do with it

I never included gladiators cos it's phenomenal and makes me nostalgic about being a bairn and...well ...Jet memories!

The 1% club is decent enough, never too taxing but enough to think about.

Granted there are exceptions! Used to work with a guy that used to eat garlic salami or something every lunchtime. It's a large office and the whole floor absolutely stunk of it...he ended up getting sacked, I'm guessing it wasn't for that but good riddance

What's wrong with that like?

Getting zero feedback from interviews.
Bad PR for organisations and recruiters.

I understand they can't provide feedback to every single applicant but when it gets to interview stage you are talking about a handful of people. Common courtesy to provide a bit feedback if requested.

Happened to my wife lately. Applied, interviewed, email saying her interview was unsuccessful, she replied asking for feedback for future reference and then radio silence. Just rude; even an email saying 'we can't provide individual feedback' would be basic decency.

Some sort of teabag receptical in the vicinity of the kettle will soon see an end to this haphazard behaviour, said receptical can then be emptied into the bin at your leisure whilst avoiding those tea drops on your kitchen floor.

Not sure if this is a peeve buts it’s certainly getting on my nerves at the moment.

House stuff.

We bought our house with my son - who is 4 today - on the way and we were skint at the time, with the prospect of my wife going on maternity leave and the drop in income that would come with it, so we compromised on a lot of stuff at the time.

Just little things like buying second hand furniture and doing things we could ourselves. Now these things are all going wrong, the cheap bed we moved from the old house is falling apart, my bedside table was second hand is now falling to bits, some of the DIY stuff we did like fitting a cheap laminate floor is tired and knackered already.

We bought a cheap oven to go in the kitchen which has always been a bit crap is now on the blink.

Not to mention the 20 plus years old kitchen which was scruffy when we moved in is starting to really fall apart.

We love the house but it’s such a project and lots of these jobs which were ones for the future are now needing done. Things like the driveway which is probably original tarmac is now less tarmac, more under layer, we need to renew the fascia, soffits and guttering.

Feels very overwhelming.

Here's how I'd do it.

Go round the place, room by room, inside and outside and make a list. List everything, no matter how small.

Then sit with your list and rank each space in terms of use - use the kitchen, livingroom, bedroom and bathroom most probably so rank everything in each of those rooms in order of importance, but also consider easy wins.

Then go room by room and tick it off.

People make the mistake of jumping around and taking on too much and it becomes over whelming.

Do what you can yourself, what you can't, pay someone to do it properly - it's value in the long run. Also consider how much easier it makes your life if someone just does it well.

When it comes to kitchens, bathrooms - spend the money on things you touch (hoi... stop s******ing at the back)... taps, switches etc.

Importantly, on your list, take a few easy tasks and do them so you feel like you've started. Tidying really helps too, it's easy to mistake clutter or untidiness as much more work when actually you'll clear your mind by clearly the floor or counter etc.

Don't underestimate how much relaying a cheapish floor, or a fresh paint job can make a whole room feel fresh.

I'm sure there's plenty trades on here that can give you proper advice about specific tasks. I'm just a diy person, the only thing I don't do is anything past basic electrics or basic plumbing.
