I actually went looking for that a couple of weeks ago, we need to revarnish the gate we paid almost 300 quid for only 6 months ago, but they didn't have the colour we need. I may be looking at the reflective gear today though.

The LED headlight was jumping out at me today too. Only a fiver. And sure you never know when you may need to strap a light to your head....:(

I was thinking of the belt with the little pouch in it. Be handy for keeping a key in when I'm out for a walk. Other trivial annoyance is I have to get my butt in gear and head off to the doc. I put off going back and my lung infections got a stronger hold. Should take at least an hour of sitting around waiting to be seen, yey me.

I went in this morning to get a baguette and left with a big tin of outdoor woodstain.
Which means that I intend to paint the garden fences? When did I convince myself to do that?!

I went in for wine and bananas, and came out with an outboard motor and a saw.....you never know:D

I know it's been said...but impatient pricks!!

This morning (twice) driving in town traffic, I am coming up to my left turn and indicating for same, when Speedy Gonzalez behind me decides he needs to overtake me....I mean what's the fcuken point! We are only moving at about 20kph, and there is a load of cars in front of me. He would not even have had to stop behind me...I was actually getting out of his way.

Knob jockey!

Moar supermarket guerrilla warfare:

Brain-dead checkout operators who fling your items at you quicker than you can pack them properly.

Again, 'the look' is required here. A muttering of 'FFS' under breath an additional extra.

That calls for the ballad of lidl & aldi. I know it's been posted before, but it is oh, so true.

People cycling on foot paths, especially when the foot path has a fcuking cycle lane along side it.

My neighbour has her undies on the line. I am working from home...but cant stop looking out at her brassiers and oversized knickers blowing in the wind.

Similarly, people jogging on the road when there is an empty footpath a mile wide. They are just begging to be hit by a car! I'd love to hear their reason for this, as it mystifys me as to a) is there some magical difference in jogging on the road compared to the footpath or b) why they would risk their lives as traffic speeds by, as I saw while driving on a busy link road the other day.

I know a lot of people liked Cilla Black, but I don't think her funeral is worthy of a broadcast on Sky news or any news channel for that matter, slow news day.

In fairness to joggers on roads the bloody foot paths are often so uneven it's easy to twist an ankle, especially at night so I guess they prefer the risk. My bitch about joggers is the local running club go out running a few times a week and block up the foot path en masse which means you have to cross the road to avoid them because they won't let you pass them.

My neighboour.

Our black bin was overflowing so we held back one bag of rubbish for the next collection.

Neighbour stops me this morning and says "When are you going to get rid of that bag of rubbish?"

The bag was placed somewhere he could only see it if he climbed to the top of the separating fence and looked straight down in to our yard. So I asked him when he was going to stop being so nosey. He replied with a comment about avoiding "long tailed beasties", he didn't want to listen to me about the bag being filled with broken toys, old clothes and nothing food based.

This is the same guy who cut down our tree, which I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Happens to the best of us.

"Dale".

Dale is five, spends most of his playing outdoors up till 11:00pm some nights. My son is "sort of" his friend.

Unfortunately Dale doesn't have boundaries. He has walked in to our house on several occasions and helped himself to food or toys. Even when he wasn't playing with my son. If a door is open he'll just walk in. This usually happen when my son is playing with someone else and the front door is unlocked.

Me and the wife have both spoken to his mother about this, but she told us to stop worrying about as he's only five.

There used to be a kid like that in my neighbourhood when I was growing up. He was older than "Dale", though, and for about five years (I suppose from when he was 7 till about 12 or so) he spent so much time in our house it was like having a little brother...

Every day after school, even though his own house was closer to the school than ours was! He was 3 years younger than me. One day I was home alone and went to my room for something. I went back to the living room and there he was sitting there making himself at home!

He even shouted at me one evening for passing in front of OUR TV while he was watching it! He got told to fúck off that day (by me!) and stormed out the door!
His parents spent most of the time in the pub and just because my mum was nice to him one day it was like having a stray dog around the place. His mum is still living locally and is the sort of person who doesn't have the word "thanks" in her vocabulary...
Last I heard of him he's in England. Not a bad kid but extremely annoying. And this was in a tiny rural village, not some sink estate!

This. Irish footpaths are a nightmare, uneven for the most part with cracks, hidden manhole covers, dramatic ups and downs from one kerb to another. Concrete is also very tough on the joints so a lot of times runners go for tarmacadam as it has more shock absorption.

I happen to live in a respectable neighborhood where we do not call round to each other requesting removal of underwear.
Besides, her husband is bigger than me.

About 15 years ago I heard my mother calling for me to come upstairs really quickly. When I got there she was looking in to the neighbours yard where he was lying on his lawn.

My mother was convinced his lad was hanging out of his jeans and she was wondering why he was trying to tan his love truncheon. Typical Irish mum hysteria about the whole affair, wondering if she should call the police etc.

Turns out it was just his belt hanging loose and it looked like his seduction snake.

You could remove them yourself, but as her husband is bigger than you, this might not be recommended,

Minions.

And more specifically "minion quotes" on Facebook.

The amount of seemingly fully functioning adults that are obsessed with them or post those brain dead meme's all the time.

"If you think Im bad you should see my sister"

FCUK OFF!!

So.

Much.

Rage.
