Rough tarmac surfaces in supermarket carparks. Done my shopping tonight, packed it into bags put them in the trolley, then ventured out onto what seemed to be a ploughed field or surface of the moon. By the time I'd got to the car most of my groceries had escaped from the bags they had been neatly packed in just minutes before! All the supermarkets round my way seem to have the same problem.

You should try the Tesco* here. Tarmac so worn and shiny I almost got out to check my steering wheel was still connected.

• Obviously I only dropped by to use he cashpoint..

Annoying leading titles by newspapers to make you read them. Also done by local TV news broadcasts.

What am I talking about?

Things like "Man dies in North Suffolk town" or "Man dies in Suffolk town, more on this on tonights news".

Why not just say Lowestoft or Beccles or wherever the damn place is?

Golf and the Ryder Cup.

It is a st game played by tts in stupid trousers. Not only that 5live has blanket coverage of it and I might have to resort to listening to the middle class ste that is Radio 4 unless ISIS do me a favour and wipe golf off the map.

Its quite good towards the end if you get into it Much better than seeing a load of foreigners playing for so called english teams kicking a ball around then falling over and moaning or biting each other

It's bad enough in work that there are only two traps, so that the 1 empty trap gap can't be maintained, but I hate it when the person next door seems to time their finish and toilet exit to yours.

Having to endur your strains and sploshes for the last 10 minutes with just a thin piece of partition between us is bad enough, but having to see who you are is even worse!

Sometimes I'll wait in the toilet until they've left just so I don't have to see who its been.

On a similar note, the guy in the trap next to me yesterday who slammed the toilet seat down so hard that I jumped and almost shat myself.

Still, I was arguably in the best place if I actually had.

Tried the so called 'trade outlets' around here, they are just as useless. Ebay next, when I get chance. All I want as a foot of oil proof hose with a 1/2" ID.

Did you manage to find this? I can send you some if you haven't.

The local BBC/ITV stations here in Ulster always use the information provided by the Police when reporting on crimes - thus we get "the attack took place in the Letsby Avenue area of the town". AREA! Why area? It was in Letsby Avenue FFS. It's not an area, the area would be the name of the estate, or the geographical location in the limits of the town or w.h.y.. It pisses me......

My 7 year old daughter is hooked on Minecraft and rather playing it herself she has now taken to watching Youtube videos of someone else playing it (work that one out!). Anyway there is a guy called 'stampylonghead' on youtube who is now a regular in our house hold.

The sound of his voice and his stupid Jimmy Carr laugh! I hate stampylonghead!

Anyone else feel my pain?

I've not had a look yet, but thanks for the offer. I'll confirm the size (only estimated so far) & let you know if I need it.

Cheers again.

I'm sat here shaking my head. I'm guessing (hoping) you have some degree of influence over your off-spring? You can make their life better...

I feel your pain, I even asked my friends kid why he watches it instead of playing the actual game. He said he doesn't know hot to play the game. The blokes voice is awful, teeth itch awful, I hate him.

Plus it's closed my favourite road for the bd park and ride.
Stick your golf sticks right up your sweaty hoop.

Having to pull out the O/Halfs Hair out of the blocked bath and sink drain plugs....Yuck!

My other half does that ALL THE fkING TIME - despite my asking nicely.

Grrr

Lay the offending spider like mess on the side of the sink so she can see it when she next uses the bathroom.

I do it quite often, and the wife whines about ME being messy?????????

Hearing on the news that some low life piece of scum has set fire to a Dog rescue centre.

HANG HIM HIGH

Hot dog anybody, pass the mustard!?

If ever there was a post that failed to pick up the mood of the country more than this rather pathetic joke I'd like to see it.

wker

The arson was a terrible/stupid/horrible thing to do, but I'm amazed at the level of outcry from the general public. No-one cared about these dogs prior to the incident.

Tell me, how many dogs have either of you taken in from a rescue home in your lifetimes?

A, The dogs weren't burned to death, which is why nobody was particularly interested in them!

B, We currently have eight dogs, four of whom are 'rescue dogs'.

Oh yes, the news is a pet peeve of mine on Bookface: "FBI charges man in murder hunt..."

So you click, and read the sub heading: "Police have identified the man...."

Read the article itself: "Police are looking for a man in connection with...."
