Why is 'slim fit' such a big thing these days? It seems like 90% of jeans in high street stores are Slim, skinny fit, or some ridiculous extreme. I'm still young enough to shop in places like Topman/Burton/RiverIsland.. but topman have a 'spray on fit' which is the tightest one.
It's not the jeans either. Slim fit shirts..tshirts.. everything.

Slow walking christmas shoppers... Get out the fking way.
The police should give everyone a present of allowing you to punch up to 3 slow walkers in the back of head each year.
Should probably exclude parents walking with under 5's and the over 75's

ts.As for the over 70's, they should only be out between 9:00 and 12:00 and then 2:00 until 5:00.
The use of tasers in either circumstance would be acceptable.
Have to agree. JonRB said:

Something that is a "big thing" for a while is called "fashion", granddad. 
Guess it's the current trend. It's come into fashion and will no doubt go out of fashion again. That's what fashion does.
Facebook has a lot to answer for - You spend half your life reading stupid, self congratulating or self pitying posts and then seeing the sycophantic sheep commenting things like "oh no honey, hope you're ok" - Then you see incidents where someone has been removed as a friend and it causes all sorts of nonsense.
Women seem to be the worst in all this - Especially those in Villages

I do that already - I only see feeds from about 15 people, but I've discovered, the hard way, what happens if you remove the wrong people.I've only removed one "local" person (one of the mums surprisingly enough) for reasons that I won't go in to here, but even if she said something, I'd still not remove her.
Funnily enough, her husband has also removed me. No great loss..

Sometimes the less controversial solution is to turn off notifications for the person so that their posts no longer show up in your news feed. I have done that for several prolific posters whose posts I don't want to see, but I don't want to de-friend them either. From time to time I look on their walls to see what they are posting and to decide whether I want to re-subscribe. I'm under no illusions that some of my friends have probably done the same to me - I tend to post a fair amount of crap on Facebook (especially when drunk).

People ordering food who do this:
> Chips please
There you go love, anything else?
> Chips please
OK, there you go, anything else?
> Chips and gravy please
Anything else?
> Another chips and gravy
Is that everything?
> Chips please
OK, there we go, is that everything?
Chips and gravy please.
And in the pub - the assumption that whoever serving is only doing that job because they have no memory whatsoever, and if you ask them for three different drinks you won't get the correct ones because they'll have forgotten them all. Not that by working behind a counter taking orders over and over again they might have actually developed some kind of skill or system for doing so. And those where it backfires when they individually order a Coke, then two bottles of Bud, then finally a pint of Guinness, and have to wait ages for the Guinness to be part-poured, then settle, then be completed, when if they'd just given a proper order in the first place the barperson would have poured the Guinness first, done the others while it was settling, and all would have been much more efficient.> Chips please

I was about to post to mention the couple who appeared to be teaching their small child to take her first steps yesterday. There is a time and a place to do this, and in the middle of a busy paddock at a motor racing event is not one of them, you pair of fts.king cretins.JonRB said:

Ed Miliband.
I know there are probably many reasons for me to be annoyed by him, but recently even glimpsing his face on TV angers me so much that I have to switch channel. I don't know what it is about him but just seeing him infuriates me.

He always seems to be completly unaware of TV cameras around him and very slow to engage his "TV face", which when it does finally boot up, still makes him appear like a gorm.

Gordon Brown was always the worst for that; dour expression then, evidently remembering he'd been told to smile more, turning on a st-eating grin that was truly cringeworthy and rather creepy. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
