    Also, recognising someone's face but not being sure why.

    Are they famous, did they work with me, school, football?

    I've got this with the guy working in the pub I'm in now, it's so annoying!

    Should have just asked him, who he was

    He might be a long lost school friend, or he could be the school bully, you are right, forget it

    I've one of those all singing all dancing watches that keeps time by the sun or the moon or satellites or something. Never had too adjust the time, accurate to the millisecond, in the ten years I've had it it's never told me the correct date. Currently it's February the fecking 26th, useless pile of shite.

    As with most of my things on this thread, it's work related. Today some banal conversation about someone whose parents were Jamaican and Iranian. They were talking about how beautiful this person was because they had both Jamaican and Iranian genes, and because it was such an unusual combination of heritage this is why that person is 'simply stunning'. I felt like retorting from my miser's corner about how stunning a girl I once knew was because her parents were of a Kent and Essex heritage. What bollocks it was.

    I cheered myself up by going on LinkedIn and responding to a post someone had published 'If you had one day left to live, how would you spend it?'

    My response is at the bottom of this photo

    The original poster/author had no clue I was quoting Partridge, responded to me in this photo, and I then followed up once more, quoting Partridge. Very satisfying

    Manish, you've got mixed up between things that annoy you and things that please you.

    Your Jamanian friend does sound beautiful though. I hope they do use the word Jamanian.

    People too stupid to realise you're wearing glasses with reactive lenses and not sunglasses. The puzzled looks you see on faces at times is priceless especially on cloudy days when the reactive lenses still kick in anyway.

    Good man. For me it was an opportunity that was too good to miss. All these people talking about throwing a big party, giving thanks and repenting on their sins. You can always find ample opportunity to quote Partridge or the Office in numerous situations in life, even if you're the only one that gets it

    The dozy mare who lives on my road, and puts her bin bag of rubbish out the day after the bin men have been.
    Its such a joy to wake up and find her ripped up bin bag, 2 cats and all her shit, including her babies dirty nappies in my front garden.
    I enjoyed picking it all up this morning......I like that.............!

    I've started leaving Partridge exclamations as eBay feedback. Even if only one person recognises 'Spice World' or 'Jurassic Park' it's worth it.

    Tupperware style boxes - why dont they dry in the dishwasher.
    Everything else is dry but these b*stards have the ability to have water droplets defy gravity and hold onto the sides of the boxes.

    Window cleaner coming while I'm still in bed. Why TF do we need a window cleaner anyway? Must have a word with whoever is paying him...

    Do they even know what it means?

    Thats a bit too much information.
    Still, nice you can discuss it on a forum.

    Flies

    BRITISH FLY

    Fat, thick as shit annoyances, buzzing everywhere, causing me to lose my rag and chase them round the house until I can crucify them.

    EUROPEAN FLY (Holiday fly)

    Little, non-buzzing pains, quick as anything and almost impossible to hit with a napkin, knife, fork or anything else close to hand. And the same one keeps coming back.

    I've only got on hand on my clock, it's right twice a day.

    Cue a few Monkhouse puns here.....

    Not his best work, but I need to get rid of the image of you with one hand on your clock. Twice a day.

    What's a geriatric? A German footballer scoring three goals.

    People always say: "You're a comedian, tell us a joke." They don't say: "You're an MP, tell us a lie."

    I can still enjoy sex at 74 - I live at 76, so it's no distance.

    I'm generally annoyed by people taking threads away from their topic.
  • The House of Lords, the 826 members, the £300 a day allowance, the £95 million pounds a year running costs, the £21 million a year expenses and allowances, the old boy network, snouts in troughs, the lack of reform and the lack of interest to change because the beneficiaries are the ones that decide.
