True... Probably best in the thread for the race so next year anyone thinking about it might get to see it instead of it getting lost in here though.

Im the very same. Just like Lidls huge chocolate chip kookies for 39 cents. You cant pass dem by really. Well I cant.

And wile Im here. How long dose the queue in Lidl have to be before theyll open a new till. Like does it have to be a queue stretchin down to the end of the shop? I grew old waitin in there this evening. Lucky I had me kookies!

Pedestrian lights that only get you half way across the road.

Yes, I would like to spend some time on the traffic island in the middle of the road.

That's a rant of mine too. My 90 year old great aunt can't go to her local Dunnes because she can't get across the road before the damn lights turns red.
I think that's sad and just cruel:mad:

The queues in Lidi drive me insane, no wonder they are making money, they have only about 3 staff!

And usually two of them three staff are down hidin at the bottom of the store hoping that they wont be called up to do the till. The unlucky person then does a big slow walk up to the till. All the time the ques are getting even longer!

So true, and you should never move to the till that they announce is going to open as it takes the person so long to appear to open it you will have lost the will to live.

I normally try the WAIT IN THE LONG GRASS movement, I wait just away from the que. maybe choose the long grass down the ackohol isle. then as the staff person comes up from the back of the shop i kinda jump out of the long grass and follow them. sometimes it leads to till 5 that no one was expectin. doesnt always wrk but still keeps me entertaned

Lollipop men/women who are stationed at pedestrian lights and press the button, wait until it turns red and then walk out on the road with their stick. Surely you only need one or the other?

I hate the stupid women who stand in line a the check out, then get their purse out to pay after all their bags are packed, then take for every to put the money in their purse, do the purse up, place purse in bag, do up bag, place bag in trolley, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh come on ladies, quick sticks please at the checkout. Pay then move away from the damm check out. I wish I was a man, just a wallet to worry about!!!

I wasn't long legging it back to the car at the end of my run there. The clap of thunder overhead was a great motivator to pick up the pace.

Oh yes, it reminds me of a time my mother shamed me in a coffee shop when she asked the waitress if we were expected to cycle between the currants they were so far apart.

Pubs which not only have the Late Late on the TV, but who continuously turn the volume up so they can hear what Majella has to say.

Ffs, I came to the pub to get away from a night in front of the TV, not to a place where I'm just staring at people because we can't converse with each other.
