    I've been browsing properties online in Devon and I found my perfect dream home, shame it's only 2.250 million pounds. Oh well, a girl can dream.:(

    I was at the National Concert Hall last night, but the experience was pretty much ruined by the people around me. Classical music can have some very quiet sections, during which everyone needs to sit still and shut up, basically. If you need to cough, a loud bit will be along soon enough. But nope, behind me I had some teenager who obviously didn't want to be there, with a chronic cough, hacking his lungs out every thirty seconds.

    For the first half of the concert, I had an empty seat next to me, since the lady who booked it was late and grabbed a seat on the aisle. After the interval she took her seat next to me, and spent the rest of the evening fidgeting, bumping in to my shoulder, smacking her lips, tapping her toes, burping, and (I strongly suspect) farting. It's impossible to concentrate on the music with a toxic person next to you.

    Did I say anything? No, you can't, because then I'd have been disrupting the experiences of others. The stupid cow was clearly so lacking in self-awareness that I'd have had to explain her transgressions to her, following which she'd probably accuse me of repressing her or violating her god-given "freedom" to spread her negative vibes around like her so much flatus. :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    If you had called over though innocently, how could you not have noticed all his wife's stuff everywhere? What a chancer.

    I thought it was unopened so I walked to the kitchen holding in downwards, and half the contents poured out a hidden hole and rolled all over the floor. I tried sweeping them all up but I know I will still be finding them over the next couple of days :o

    People who post 'first world problem' as if it's such an original response.

    Yes, I know rude waiters, annoying drivers, and noisy neighbours are not on a par with real suffering and deprivation. And you know that I know that. So stop being a sanctimonious twat. We're still entitled to sound off about rude and inconsiderate behaviour. If you don't like it, don't open those threads.

    Ed Byrne on Mock the Week, he just hangs around a bit too long in the open mic sessions after he cracks his jokes.


    Ed Byrne himself is more than a trivial annoyance for me though!

    The whole mock the week....

    It's all bloody scripted... with DOB just saying "ahhhhhh" to make it sound like he's trying to think on the spot (when obviously the joke is written down in front of him).

    People who spit when they talk. How do you wipe it from your face without insulting the person? But I can't just leave it there either. Yuck!!!!

    If someone coughs or sneezes in front of me, I always exaggeratedly wipe my face immediately afterwards, whether it hit me or not. It annoys the hell out of them.

    ..... a teeeeny bit more .... annnnnd zooooom BANG its 1-2-3-4-5 pages down

    sht, no, drag up ... nothing ... drag up a lil more .... zoooom... top of the document.
