People who post rubbish "comments on life" quotes on their FB pages as if it gives them some kind of special status. Ooooh look at you Mr Deep, so learned and wise. Wherever did you get that chocolate-box, self-growth, American psychobabble claptrap cartoon? I think you are my hero! PS don't forget...the only disability in life is a bad attitude. oh....wait.... :pac:

I cannot recommend "The Little Book Of Complete Bollocks" highly enough. Acquire it. Make it your companion. Love it. Have it's little book-babies. And above all, breeeeeeathe...

Are you afraid they'll wear it out? :P

Now that you mention newspapers, I hate the way tabloids and general lower quality journalism papers use sensationalist, rubbish language. Yesterday I was flicking through one that my primate brother had left in the kitchen - things like "the pair were caged" (imprisoned following sentencing) and the "beast was free to roam" (the convicted rapist was allowed back into society again) - I mean, why do they need to use this language? News items, by their nature are thought provoking and moving (that's why they are news) - they don't need to be dressed up with such tripe.

I remember reading something a few years ago, about a group who discovered a pharoahs tombs in the 1920's. A couple of them were killed when parts of the tomb collapsed, a crocodile ate one, two drowned and one or two caught malaria. The last of the group was killed sixty years later, when he fell down a filght of stairs in his house in London.

The tabloid headline was "Mummies curse strikes again!!"

pfffft :rolleyes: There was another one in yesterday's piece of work that said "judge in boxer's corner" - he actually just said to some boxer who had a conviction that he wished him well in upcoming competitions and hoped to see his name in the paper for the right reasons next time. These headlines are deliberately misleading

The music channels. Wtf.
I'm flicking through it it starts at 350 and sky sports starts at 400. You'd think that's 50 channels of music. But no.

It's about 14 channels of ****e.
Ads, Taylor swift, John legend, and ed Sheeran.

I've flicked though it about 50 times and its just on loop, the same **** just alternated.

I'm stuck listening to the best song playing which is
"My anaconda don't
My anaconda don't
My Anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun"

What's happened to my life

When you have to just disturb your plans to suit someone else. I was supposed to FaceTime a friend last night. He tried FaceTime me sat night but me and the OH were away. He was super put out I didn't answer and I tried FaceTime him yesterday evening. He messaged me to tell me it didn't suit and he'd facetime le later. Grand, I think. Then he's trying half way through love hate. I tell him gimme half an hour and call back.

Now he's all bent out of shape that I didn't answer when it suited him to ring and he's ignoring since. It's annoying I'm expected to drop what I'm doing but it's okay when he's busy.

I would except even I can't read my own writing lol, that's also trivially annoying. My r's and v's look the same and the more I am aware of it, the more I **** up my r.

I knew a girl who's r's looked like her v as well, but in that case it was because of too much back-door entertaining. :pac:

A device for sending messages, used up to mid 80's. it came after telegrams and before fax (if you remember fax:D)

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 13-10-2014 02:23PM

I have no idea what you're talking about! I know what telegrams are, and smoke signals.

Sure is, ma'am - the new, patent-pending Reflect-O-Tronic plastic ensures that over 90% of microwave background radiation that hits it is either absorbed or reflected. If you can find me another manufacturer of such devices prepared to make such a claim, then I am a pimple of the left arse-cheek of John Major's Great-Aunt Lottie. :cool:

Slamming doors.

People sniffing and snivelling and generally being disgusting.

Stupid people. (One of the many drawbacks of being smart is a heightened awareness of other people's intellectual shortcomings)

I don't think anyone stupid is aware that they are stupid. I mean me or you could be stupid but we wouldn't know it.
