    Not even 8 o clock, and the little one has locked my phone while I left her looking at a YouTube clip, so I could go to the toilet on my own for once. I look everywhere for my SIM pack to find I have thrown out the bit that has my PUK code on it. Remembered then I could log into MyMeteor on the teenagers phone. But of course her phone is dead. Why is it that phones take so long to turn on, especially when they are fully dead and on charge. You wouldn't want to be dying :(. It's going to be a long day ...,

    My wife conducted a physics experiment last night:

    Does repeatedly ringing a phone in a moving vehicle alter the velocity at which the vehicle is moving towards you? Can it warp space-time in such a way as to reduce the distance between where the vehicle is and where you want it to be?

    Interestingly, it seems that constantly ringing the phone of somebody who you know is late but on the way can affect how quickly they get there. It just has the opposite effect to the one intended. Quantum mechanics is weird like that.

    My missus has a strange phone/location sixth sense. Every time she calls me while I'm driving home from work, I am always in the exact same location.
    "Where are you?"
    "The same fooking place I am every time you call me, every time."

    I'm baffled as to how she does it.

    I hate these new "alternative" names. What's wrong with good strong names like Mary and Peter? :(

    I encountered an "Olan" at a bank there the other week. You have no idea how difficult it was not to thunder, in a Brian Blessed voice, "Greetings, O-lan, king of the Hawk-Men!!" :pac:

    How do people live in such ignorance? LMII for example takes no notice of anything like that, we get stuck in traffic outside that school, he is calm. I text him to tell him someone named their spawn cuan he's like "oh right that's unusual isn't it?"

    It's so ****ing annoying. I'm not texting him for his opinion on names. The least he could be is as horrified as I was but you know what, when I bring this up again with him tonight he won't even remember I mentioned it earlier it's so insignificant to him

    I would be the same to be honest...the eyes glaze over at a lot of the stuff the long suffering Mrs Happy tell me.
    Different things are important to different people. Different things annoy the hell out of different people.

    I get annoyed by certain mothers who think that being a mother is equalivent to sainthood.
    I don't have kids and won't ever have kids but I'm ok with that until I meet one of these annoying women who don't me or my circumstances and tell me that I'm less of a woman because I don't have kids

    Me two hands are black after putting stuff in the boot of the car - I suppose this means it needs a wash and I suppose the clean bit on the door sill means it's on my jeans.

    What exactly do they say?!

    As a young mother myself, the "wait til you have kids" annoys the hell out of me, i usually let them ramble for a while, digging even further, before I tell them I am a mother

    Now, I know I am not Susan Boyles number one fan. It's nothing personal to her, but I just don't think she is as good as people make out she is. That said, she is talented and watching her audition video, there is something immensely annoying and that is the stuck up teenage cunnox at 1:20 who makes a face when Susan says she is trying to be a professional singer. She more or less sneers and you can see her thinking "as if fat girl!". Typical of so many sheeple teenage girls who are so terrified to be anything except clones of each other and who are so quick to judge others who they perceive as being in any way different. I hope life has slapped her in the sanctimonious gob since that audition. Check it out:

    ...and the inbed looking teethed f.ucker at 1:32
