That little triangular patch of skin you miss with the sun cream which burns red at night.
Usually around the ankle somewhere.

Polystyrene.

After getting 3 small bits of furniture from Harveys I now have 3 bin bags full of polystyrene to get rid of. No room in the bin, no recycling option. I now have to drive to a ghastly dump in deepest Walthamstow to get rid.

Ikea manage to avoid the use of the bloomin' stuff.

Just do the sensible thing and disolve it in a few gallons of petrol.

Voila - Home made napalm!

The maintenance guys at work, we have lovely almost presidential toilets at work, marble floors and walls, a collection of gels and lotions in the stalls to provide cleanliness and comfort for a weary posterior.

Then the big hairy arsed maintenance guys come in from the warehouse and quite clearly live off a diet of kebabs and beer leave the place looking and smelling like Glastonbury.

Bursting for a pee at the end of a meeting I head for the sumptuous facilities only to be greeted by a fking face melter, dirty bds should see a fking doctor, no healthy person should make a smell like that.

Small talk. Tell me something interesting.
Nice weather we are having today. I was out in the garden digging merrily away when George from next door popped his head over my newly cut hedge and offerd me a glass of his elderflower wine, THAT HE MADE HIMSELF!

Looks like rain later so must hurry along with my gooseberries. Still, musn't grumble!

Passionfruit by Drake or Did You See by J Hus.

Sounds of the 80's? Seems like really bad Wow & Flutter. Last time I heard this my tape got mangled in the car cassette player.

People who eat apples in the office. They sit there with that fking smug look on their faces, crunching away as if to to say "Look at how healthy I am, eating an apple, so fk you!"

If I've got the radio on in the shed on Saturday afternoon there's at least one tune that's been playing on the Danny Howard show in the last few weeks that sounds like their batteries are on the way out, I presume it's one of the two you name.

Yes, annoys me too. You're in enough of a rush to pull out when there isn't really enough space, but now all of a sudden you're not in a rush at all.

In this case, they pulled out in front of me in plenty of time, I came off the accelerator in anticipation, and then they just really didn't accelerate very quickly at all and I ended up having to brake. It was a good 40+ metres before they were up to speed (30mph).

And people who are in so much of an apparent rush they have to swerve out into oncoming traffic to go around a car turning left into a side street (the car is almost off the road even as they are overtaking it), as if slowing then accelerating is just something other people do.

That's because they are going to turn right a few miles up the road, at which point they will sit and wait for a gap the length of the M6 before contemplating the turn.

Not always. Sometimes they accelerate very slowly to eventually settle on a speed way above the limit and what's sensible. Because you know...they are in a rush.

Using a car horn repeatedly. The first one is fine, each one after that grates on me even more.

Especially when leaving after a visit to friends/relatives, and when they see someone they know walking along the high street.

'Philomena Cunk'

- or the entity popularly known as. It's bad enough the beeb allowed her a separate show or two, but to wheel her out as a talking head on the tribute prog about Victoria Wood with whom it's unlikely she ever shared a stage, is pushing it too far. Do we really need need to know what Cunk thought of the much-more-talented-and-successful VW?

It's a co-incidence that Cunk is/was dating a beeb comedy exec. No doubt.

She is such a waste of licence money. awful; sucks the comedy out of any situation. Have to fast forward through her bits on Brooker's shows.

A fictitious character is dating an exec? Blimey.

Or do you mean actress Diane Morgan?
