There is nothing wrong with my front door bell.
It's actually VERY loud.
So why does literally no one at my door press it ?
I need a sign and arrow.....push here >>>>>

ker use it, do they fk. Last time I opened the door to someone, I tested it then continued with a "sorry I thought it was broken". You could almost see the little light going on in his head. When someone posts a question online and you reply with an accurate factual answer, only for your answer to be ignored in favour of other people guessing
Case in point - the bright 'star' visible in the west after sundown
It is Venus, not ( according to various idiot guesses ) a space station, Jupiter, a helicopter, a UFO
Update - an even worse answer has just been posted "Ignore star maps - they are not accurate". FFS we've had accurate star maps for several thousand years !

This new fad of using a bit of tweed on proper shoes. Tweed has no place on a well tanned brogue.
I disagree. Sometimes your ghyllie needs a damn good kick up the arse.
ETA: You, Balmoral, of all people, should know this and accept it to be the truth.
I am slightly disappointed with you sir. I mean, one simply cannot wear one's green Hunters incessantly, sometimes they are best left in the vestibule to air, and one has to wear one's ( secondary ) brogues for the less boggy shoots.

Or just call them!holes who, when calling at someone's house, sit in the car sounding their horn for attention - get your lazy fat arse out of the car and go knock on the door and stop disturbing everyone living nearby !- thank me for booking;
- tell me my cab is en route, and the make of car and registration number;
- tell me that it has arrived; and
- thank me for using that cab firm.
No. What happened was the taxi driver accidentally double tapped the screen on his dispatch system which sent the two messages one after the other. I only found this out after getting in the taxi having waited 20 minutes outside, and had a random minibus driver try to give me a lift.
I was annoyed, but probably not beyond reason. The taxi driver found it quite funny though so that's ok.

I once went through the arrivals at Bristol airport and got a text from the taxi company to say they were on their way. Excellent, I'll sit in the cafe and chill out with a drink while I wait. No more than two minutes later I received another text to say the taxi was here. Ok, maybe they came straight from somewhere nearby!? Off I went to the taxi pickup point.
