We have some rather scummy neighbours.

I saw the women in B&M yesterday knowing full well I've seen her park her car in disabled spaces in supermarkets before. I come out of B&M and there it is! Her car in the nearest disabled space to the store.

I also saw her daughters car in Tesco disabled space a while back - and when I was walking in the shop there she was walking out.
Truly awful parking. Next time you see them, give chase, Chevy.
Perhaps a polite note on her windscreen first. It really irks me. Also it's no excuse but it's not like there aren't plenty of other spaces but it would mean she has to walk a short distance and it would probably burn off too many calories and she'll lose her 'fine plump figure'. Nice to see she brought her daughter up well too..........

A couple of work colleagues I was talking to today said 'AM-A-ZONNE' about 20 times and really emphasised the last bit. I know 'Am-uh-zun' isn't quite right but it's much easier on the ears.
I believe Amazonian people pronounce it AMA ZN.nerd

I love a moan.

People who post up a staged group photo with the caption "Out with this crazy lot". Do you mean the 'crazy' lot who go out once in a blue moon and will be home by 10pm?

Why would you want to rob your friends' houses?

Yeah, sweetie is rather weird. Thats what kids say?
Oh dearie me, there are some short fuses round here.
I had a lovely cat who'd go bananas for Dreamies treats.
I used to refer to these as sweeties and Potty Cat came to
learn what was on the way when I said, 'Do you want your sweeties?'

As you see, nothing in the least bit creepy - it isn't me, it's your minds.

Or more to the point why would he think no one is at Facebook if his freinds are eating out.

You should be grateful to them for sending it in the post - at least you'll get it. Imagine if they'd sent it to you by email... hehe

Every single Mercedes Sprinter van that I have encountered has a habit of its reverse lights flashing just as they are about to pull away from a set of traffic lights. And for that brief fraction of a second, I wonder if this is going to be the time that the driver has actually engaged reverse instead of first gear and is about to shunt into me and then claim it was the other way around.
Stopped behind one this a.m., I thought oh oh, let’s see if it does what Shakermaker says they do.
It didn’t, then I noticed that it had Romanian plates, surely the ones with defective wiring can’t all be shipped to U.K. can they?

Perhaps. But I fear that it has become a PH meme for you now. smile

I posted on a holiday tour operators facebook page.

Basically the hotel customer service wasn't what I expected for a 4*. I was polite and didn't blame the tour operator as they cant be held responsible for a stty employee at the hotel really.

A random guy asked me for some details about the costs. So I wrote out a reasonably long reply explaining costs, what you got, why the destination was expensive generally and how I was OK with the price and was happy to use the tour operator again in the future. Though would recommend one of the other hotels they use instead.

TBH I expected nothing more than a "cheers for the info"


Instead the guy deleted his question. So it looks like 'm talking to myself rolleyes


I saw he was an electrician, so I hope for the next month, every enquiry he gets and spends time costing up and responding to, doesn't employ him biggrin

No offence meant to you or your feline friend - in this context it's fine to use that word. (or if you're Scottish) smile
What I'm referring to is adults in an office asking if I'd like a sweetie and passing round a basket full of Maom's finest. Although maybe it's a hidden message? Fruity
