When 17 million morons vote for something that will affect the fabric of our society on the basis of a single issue.

I voted, but not on the basis of a single issue.

If they only have yes/no as a choice, what else are they going to do?

Ditto, lot's of thought went into it and I think we'll be a lot better off out once the panic mongers quiet down.

The relatively new barman at my pub insisting on addressing me as "Young man". I've got at least ten years on him if not more.

Maybe it's Maybelline.

What I sometimes get is one of the checkout operators at Tesco calling me "son". For fks sake, I'm OLDER than you!

Hah! I was getting rather agitated with it and resorted to stabbing the refresh button instead.

What makes them think that in the space of a couple of hours I am going to need reminding to take it with me when I get off?

Maybe it's the large volume of luggage they see being left on planes during the course of a year ?

So true. In a previous life as BA cabin crew, every flight revealed some left behind stuff. Passports, duty free, compromising photos, artificial limbs, wedding dresses.

You name it.

People who can't go for fifteen minutes without buying a fking coffee.

People who can't make it all the way to work in the monrnig without stopping to buy a fking coffee.

People who can't make it round Waitrsoe without a fking coffee in their hand.

How the fk did these sheep manage to get through a day before they could buy a fking coffee in every other fking shop?

On my morning commute I often see a chap in a van supping what is presumably coffee from a proper household mug. WTF! Why not get up a few minutes earlier and enjoy your coffee at home.

At least it's all Metric.
I always smile at older engineers, ask them to take off .5mm and they'll instantly work backwards and inform you they'll take xxx thou off for you.
I have no idea what a thou is, we've been metric for 45yrs ffs.

thousandths of an inch

So that's TWO Brexits in one week. Careless.

Balljoint manufacturers who fail to provide a means of stopping the fking things from rotating when you're trying to remove the lump of rust which used to be a retaining nut - time for the angle grinder I guess

( OK, there may have been something when it was new 16 years ago, but not now )

Try this: Use a lever or jack to apply a force that pushes the taper into its socket.

Wayne Rooney trotting out the "But that's football" cliche in the wake of the England team's abject failure last night. No, that's "as a team you were utterly sh^t".

So he was right.

Football. Utter sh^t. These things are comparable.

It's not that kind of balljoint - it's the ones on the ends of the ARB droplinks

My wife does this and I find it annoying even though it has no effect on me at all, she often goes off to the gym or work in the morning carrying a half drunk cup of coffee.

It bothers me most when I go to move her car and find cups in the footwell that she's forgotten to bring inside, or on the odd occasion a plate where she's taken her toast with her as well. She's a st driver when she only has to concentrate on driving, god knows how she (and those misfortunate enough to be sharing the road with her) get there in one piece whilst she's drinking coffee and eating her breakfast!

Cars that are heaps of poo being advertised for sale as "barn finds". Is there an army of car hunters poking their noses into all farm buildings looking for cars?
