    My legs are aching. I feel like an elderly woman getting up and down the stairs. I think it's tendonitis and I've had to cut back on my walks. I'm not so much power-walking as power-hobbling. Second trivial annoyance, people blocking the footpath. I got stuck behind 2 guys for almost 2km last night as it's a straight very busy stretch of road, too busy to walk on the road to get past them and my legs are too achey to speed past them. So I ended up watching them scratch their arses and spit. :mad:

    Tendonitis is the pits.

    Power walking is not good for you now. Did you know this? The gurus say that ordinary fast walking is just as good. If you can walk and talk at a fast pace you're winning! The rules change every day now.

    It helps to rest, ice, immobilise and elevate.

    So I am glad I just feckin WALKED.

    Hope you will be OK. Walking is fab.

    Am hoping to do the Camino next year, well a bit of it anyway. Best of luck with the tendonitis.

    Does anyone ever get the "top of the stairs memory fade out thing" ?

    You know, you think of something, it's upstairs, so up you go...

    Then when you get there you cannot remember why you went up there in the first place.

    Only solution is to come back down again, and Bingo! aha, that's why I went up there.

    And so the cycle continues. Up, down, up down. Hate that.

    I am not that old, but it happens a lot, and it drives me nuts. My sister said she writes it down before attempting the stairs at all. So it's not just me lol

    It's worse when you are halfway up, and you can't remember if you are going up or down:D

    When Soaps introduce a really annoying new character who bores you quickly, especially narcissistic ones.

    My new housemates lack of manners is beyond trivally annoying. She stomps around like a bull in a china shop from around 8 in the morning til midnight. I cleaned the bathroom today and since then she has shaved her legs in the sink, gotten toothpaste on the mirror and left hair in the shower. Counting the days Til I can move home.

    My TA of late.. Runners and power walkers.. I have as much right to use the pavement as you. Why do you feel the need to bang your BO riddled body into me just so you can go in a straight line or do you think you are special?

    Would it hurt to move 1ft to the left or right to avoid me and other normal people?? And why do you have to snort and spit all over the pavement and adjust your "bits" in your tight shorts as you approach me??

    Every night I meet 10-15 on the 10 min walk to the shop..

    My Gran used to say cuss as in a cussword and she was born up north in the 1900's.

    Don't think its an American thing.

    The many people who don't use the indicators on their cars/vans/lorries and assume you can read their mind as to which way they are going.

    For sure a % of these drivers will cause crashes as a result and motor bike fatalities.

    It's the height of selfishness and should be classed as dangerous driving.

    Like someone overtaking driving towards you on your side of the road.
    Someone lazy again? Or perhaps an American foreigner driving on the wrong side of the road and I think I'm going to die in a head on crash.

    How difficult is it to indicate FFS ?

    Ordering takeaway for 2-3 or more
    people, especially pizza. You have to cater to everyones tastes . We ordered a meal deal and shared the one pizza, someone asked for manky toppings that I and the other person hated so we had to pick them off, but we couldn't complain as he was generous enough to pay cause we were broke.

    :eek:, Where do I even start with this one? I never bump anyone, I do not have BO. I don't wear shorts, ever, and I most certainly do not spit. My bra works really well so I don't need to 'adjust bits'. Maybe you should take up exercise and work off some of that rage.

    The trackpad on my laptop has no physical demarcation between the left and right buttons, so I can't feel if I am pressing the right one.

    The fact that every morning I buy a coffee in a certain coffee shop, knowing full well that the coffee shop a few doors down does nicer coffee. God damn you attractive coffee making women, why must you do this to me? The things us guys have to endure sometimes...

    Crappy pillows. Why oh why is it so hard to find a decent pillow. At this point I'd almost sell my soul for a decent, comfortable pillow.

    We all know who the biggest perv is... the person who hired them. Anyway they'd probably have to PM you nudes for you to understand.

    I have this one and it's super comfortable.
    I used to sleep on two crappy pillows but this one eradicates the need for two, as it's big, slightly firm and oh-so-comfy.

    The kids (adults now) have often found the noodles in the fridge, coffee in the freezer , the list is endless.

    Worst is I was going to fry an egg last week , and it took me a minute to realise what I'd done wrong . I had forgotten to crack the egg first. time to see a doctor I think ...:(

    If it's any consolation, I keep my coffee in the freezer.
