If you can run chrome you should be able to run adblock. The program despite being technically free (donation ware) I sent the guy $10 because it is so damn effective.

"It's a bit dusty in here..."

No. No it isn't. You may have read/seen/heard something upsetting or been moved by what you have read/seen/heard. So bloody say that you found it upsetting or moving.

The policy on signposting roadworks seems to be to place a large triangular sign and a couple of cones at the side of the road (this sign is normally warning of a reduction in road width or that a man is moving a pile of earth with an umbrella) yet the roadworks are often not as wide or intrusive into the road as the signs warning you about it.

In fact the warning signs are often harder to navigate a bicycle or large vehicle safely around than the actual roadworks which may even be on a side street.

Why the hell have we as a civilisation not invented a better method of signposting a danger than putting another danger in the road in the way ?

At face value, it's pretty much become a meme.

However, underlying it is the macho bullst that men aren't supposed to show emotion and definitely aren't allowed to cry.

(I'm agreeing with you, btw)

yes

Similarly comments concerning weak bladders:

"I laughed so hard a little bit of wee came out"

Did it you disgusting little freak? Go to Boots and buy some pantypads then.

The way that every bloody police force in the civilised world that can lay their hands on a DeLorean thought they'd be unique if they took a picture of it and announced that they'd stopped it doing 88mph today

It was slightly amusing the first time I saw one, but after the third or fourth it get a bit fking boring, never mind after 30 or 40 frown

I had this rant at my wife a few weeks ago. She thought I was odd, but couldn't deny my logic. What pisses me off most is that he's celebrated for "saving the day" despite being the one who cocked things up / ran late / endangered the package in the first place!

Back to the Future day. FFS it's just a film, get over it and grow up. I mean, on the main news bulletins too? Speaking of which, we now have the new James Bond film on all the news bulletins too - so what, it's a film, it's light entertainment, it's not news and I don't really care what some hysterical critic who's just left the premier has to say about it.

Actually, much as I like films and watch and buy a lot, all the guff that goes with films annoys me, particularly unnecessary hype and ridiculous advertising tie-ins that are on every five minutes - it seems as though most products being advertised on the telly at the moment have a James Bond theme about them.

Winds me up too. The way his boss just smiles when he announces on the phone that he's lost the fking package AGAIN makes me grind my teeth. How about doing your job properly and delivering more than 1 parcel per day. Honest;ly, the cost of a stamp in Greendale must be fking astronomical.

Hijack it and send it to the old address; see if they have mail forwarding activated.

Taps in public places that stay on for approximately a quarter of a second after you've pushed them, so by the time it takes to get both hands under the (almost always cold) dribble of water you have to strath again, so you end up washing one hand at a time because you have to use one to permanently hold down the tap.

Yes, I'm looking at you, Vue Cinemas.

I've never seen the film, but I like the comparisons between technology now and what we thought technology would be like today, 30 years ago
