Waking me up an hour before I'm supposed to with their bloody tweetering.
Worry not - next week you'll be back in sync!Waking me up an hour before I'm supposed to with their bloody tweetering.
Terrorism is annoying today - albeit not on the scale of anyone actually affected on site.
But the fuss over the 'estate of Westminster' being violated some decades after the brutal death of Airey Neave makes one wonder if anyone in today's newsroom is aware of recent history.

Got home last night only to be told we were off to watch the Mrs daughter dance leaving us 40 minutes to get there (30 miles in rush hour)
Upon arrival we sat down in the theatre to be told this was a dance exam showcasing the students talents at interpretive dance. What followed I can only describe as horrific. Hours of mind numbingly tedious "pieces" where each child in the class came on stage to do the most self indulgent crap in front of a projection of things like famine, wars and terrorist attacks all while having pained looks of angst on their faces.
After 15 minutes I wanted to shoot myself then that progressed on to shooting them and finally shooting the Mrs for making me go and miss the England game.
I also strongly suggest some kids should be told before embarking on three years of dance school they should probably go and find a career as a vet or something as no matter how hard they train if the lead male dancer can't lift your lardy arse then the likelihood of you getting the leading role in my fair lady is going to be nearly impossible and you may only have a chance if they need hippo number 2 in the lion king.
Seriously if you get the chance to watch interpretive dance run, run very fast.

At the risk of expressing myself poorly and the resulting flaming, terrorism may be "annoying" - but not "beyond reason". And yes, I personally feel (relatively) safer in the London of today than the London of 20-40 years ago for this very reason.Terrorism is annoying today - albeit not on the scale of anyone actually affected on site.

What I find annoying is the wall-to-wall coverage of any incident.
I remember ('90s) that bomb scares were not reported through a gentlemen's agreement amongst the media of the day. Without that "oxygen" we all struggled on through the disruptions, since they were regularly happening, but with relatively low levels of fear and minimum hysteria.
I'm annoyed we live in times of so much coverage, without the context as The Don says.

Getting to work, settling down at my desk, looked down and realised I had dribbled toothpaste down my navy blue jumper.

Sheena f
king Easton.
I (briefly)heard her interviewed on the radio yesterday. Why the fk does she have to put on that fking faux American accent? 
You're from fking Bellshill, you pretentious bh, not fking LA! 
7/10 - too sweary and lacking content.king Easton. I (briefly)heard her interviewed on the radio yesterday. Why the fk does she have to put on that fking faux American accent? You're from fking Bellshill, you pretentious bh, not fking LA! Mrs Easton has been in the US a long time but here Wiki page says:"1990, Easton revisited her home country of Scotland to perform at a festival (The Big Day) in Glasgow. After announcing, that it was "good to be back home" in an American accent, she had bottles (some containing urine) thrown at her and, visibly shaken, she was forced to cut her set short. She vowed never to perform in Scotland again."
So she's been pissing people off for a long time with her faux accent.
Thanks muchly.yellowjack said:
Fking cyclists!
Specifically the one that clunked my alloy wheel with a pedal, and the bodywork with a brake lever. Two gert big scratches on the car now. The little fecker even bent down to closely inspect his handywork, before nonchalantly walking away to lock his bike up. He had a second look when he walked back past the car to get to the door, too.
Worst of all? This all happened on my own fking driveway!!!
Oh. Yeah. I remember now. The dumb-ass cyclist who stupidly rode his bike between the car and the house instead of getting off and pushing it to the garage was me...

On the flip side - My daughter's class of 9 year olds did the Lion King on stage last week and it was very good
I have heard, however, that free-form Jazz is a special kind of terrible...

Shhh! I'd keep that particular opinion to yourself if I were you. I have it on good authority from another poster on PistonHeads that I'm DEFINITELY not funny, and a little bit of a thicko. Laughing along with 'somefink wot I rote' might get you some unwelcome attention...
