    Dog crap. First thing in the morning! Went to wipe my shoe in the grass, looked down at my shoe to see was it all off, and realised I was standing on another pile of the stuff! Fcuking Jonah wouldn't be so stupid! :mad:

    Hell yeah! Yoo-Ess-Ayyy!!! And furk smartass Scandinavian countries indeed, furk them right in the ear. All Social-this, and Eco-that, and Universally Inclusive t'other, all the while with their stupid accents and ridiculous climate and screwed up nights-and-days. Except Finland - they produced Linus Torvalds and the great Jarno Saarinen. And Sweden, any country that produced Bengt Söderström and ABBA is plenty weird enough to be interesting. Of course Norway used to be all Vikings and stuff, so they're obviously still cool. So that leaves, well - my original point still stands. I mean, Denmark - furk Denmark!! :mad:

    People who are heading off on a trip away and put up status' or say things like "<insert town or city being travelled to> won't know what hit it" Christ would you ever shut up, yes it will.
    You're no different than everyone else who goes out there on a constant basis, are you going to go on a mad one and drink maybe 4 WHOLE shots before your first pint?
    You lunatics.

    Lolipop ladies...I know they are important to safety and I'm glad they are there but the mere sight of them when I'm late for work infuriates me to the point that I've had day dreams of running them over and reversing back over them.

    I think the main thing is because when the traffic is busy they stop it every 5 seconds to allow one kid to cross , then go back allow two cars through then stop it again for another kid to cross. Surely they could wait until they had a couple of them together to stop traffic again.

    Hang on, I thought of another one I hate more. These bloody 'Psycic' shows that go on around the country, I actually went to one a few weeks back with my Sister , she begged me to go with her she is having a hard time with a family bereavment so I agreed to go.

    It was one of these travelling 'psycics' did the show in a pub and sold tickets, couldn't believe how many people were packed into the place singing this one's praises. 'She's amazing'' she has a gift' she has a gift alright , scamming and bull****ing her way through shows while preying on weak, lonely and desperate people.

    So off the show goes and she starts making her way around the tables , eyeballing the one's that she thinks she can get something out of while her side kick big ups how amazing she is when she did X before etc , I'll admit I haven't a clue how he comes out with some of the stuff but so much rubbish coming out , told some poor young one that if she went on holiday this year she'd be involved in a plane crash? That was it for me.

    Like what about the other 200 people on this plane? Should you not be warning them aswell you plank? My laughter was quickly turning to anger at this point as I looked around the room at people clinging to the table hoping for a reading from this clown , including my sister I actually had to bite my tounge from standing up and having a go at her. She walked around took one look at my face and went the other way, no doubt she guessed I was a closed reading book and an angry one at that.

    Sad.

    I occasionally mess about with motorbikes. One of my all-time favourites, and very rare in good condition, is the Suzuki Katana 1100, which is one of these:

    Suzuki GSX1100S Katana pic

    In 1997, Suzuki launched a 50cc twist'n'go scooter, the AY50. And what name did they further give it? Katana:

    So now, when looking for one of the magnificent 1,100 cc beasts from the '80s I keep getting misdrected and sidetracked to these blasted scooters. Fcuk you Suzuki. Fcuk you. :(

    My husband has the week off work, he split his thumb at work and had to have it stitched/glued, so he's not supposed to use it(steady), I have to keep nagging at him to remind him not to use it.

    Something which annoys me - Michael Noonan and John McGrath pronouncing
    Leo Varadkar as Leo Varad-a-kar! You would think that they would be familiar
    with his name at this stage!! Ggrrrr!! :(

    People who use the phrase "not uncommon".

    We have a word for that: "common".

    "Not uncommon" isn't necessarily the same as "common".

    If the frequency of something lies between common and uncommon then calling it not uncommon is reasonable and calling it common would be incorrect.
