Have to say, one of the most stupidest ideas, putting a mini market in petrol stations!
Convenient of course but bloody annoying when waiting for some dick to finish and then return to their vehicle!
"Has it got a mini mart?"
"Pardon, a what?"
"A mini mart. it's like a scaled down version of supermarket, fits inside a petrol station, sells pies, anti-freeze, that sort of thing"
People being an arse, just for the sake of it. When they know perfectly well, what the poster is talking about;)
I couldn't be bothered to put Supermarket, because ones in petrol stations don't come across as particularly "Super!" considering how annoying they can be.
Don't mind me mate. It's a quote from an Alan partridge episode. Sorry, can't help myself. Do it all the time. Did it to a woman on LinkedIn once
Very curious on the linkedin one! What quote did you use and what had she said?
Quoting partridge/brent is one of the most satisfying things one can do, in my opinion.
Mate it was perfect. I did actually screen grab it and put it on here once, but I've looked back through the search function and can't find it. It was a few years ago. Basically some random woman came up on my feed with the question
"It's your last day on earth, how would you spend it"
I replied using the lines from the 2nd series where AP is doing his bank holiday weekend call in show about what listeners are doing. So I replied back to her
"I'd like to go to Legoland with Sean Connery and afterwards we'd go into the centre of Windsor and have a lovely lamb roast/lunch"
She must've been American or something because she then replied
"Gee that's great Robert, you certainly sound like a man who knows what he wants and is living life to the full"
To which I replied
"Actually, I don't think that would be Connery's cup of tea, I think he'd much rather go to the wild fowl park and then after have a nice big bottle of scotch"
The immense pleasure I got from just that silly interaction with some random on LinkedIn was enough of a partridge boost
My dream would be to get interviewed by a news reporter on st Patrick's day and do the Irish are going through a major image change bit, see how far I get before they realise I'm talking gibberish - actually dropped that one on the latest Brexit thread the other day, purely for my own sad amusement
Parent and child parking at the supermarket, but only when the kids and mum stay in the car whilst the obese dad runs out to get a pie or something.
Had it at Sainsbury. When I asked the mother where her child was she pointed out a spotty late teen lad. I called her a selfish c**t and she said I should be ashamed of myself.
We were in Malaysia a couple of weeks ago and tried durian ice cream. Absolute filth. Stank like shit and gave us all crappy aftertaste like rotten fish for about an hour. Fucking disgusting.
(For those that don't know, durian fruit is famous in that part of the world for being smelly, but delicious.)
People who signal right at small roundabouts and then go straight on. Meaning if you're coming from the opposite direction you have to slow down/stop unnecessarily.
People who can't take roundabouts full stop. Ive seen more than one person here in France in the outside lane of roundabouts, right indicator on (to exit), go right round to the last exit. Also, some roundabouts here in smaller towns, you give way to cars coming onto the roundabout, no warning or special sign, that's just the way it is and you're just meant to know
League 1 Jammie Dodgers (gets promoted and relegated often) Hobnobs Digestives (Well known and generally liked side, just no ambition - Charlton) Foxes Crunch Creams (too sickly to be higher placed) Nice Malted Milk
League 2 Rich Tea Biscuits Snack biscuits Maryland Cookies
Non-League (Do not qualify as a biscuit) Tunnocks Caramel Bar Tunnocks Tea Cakes Oreo anything… Just F*** off.
Any i need to add to the leagues?
No honorable mention for the ginger snap?
I don't buy Tunnocks Tea Cakes - because i eat the whole six pack in one go. They are Champions league mate.

I just put me foot down when in Paris bud, as bad as the french are at driving,, they seem to know where the break peddle is
That's what happens when you don't have road markings. To slow down the traffic in my village the council have recently got rid of the centre line - no idea now where you are in connection to on-coming traffic & nearly hit someone last week. Its not as if people race through that particular stretch of road is there is a 30 mile an hour speed camera, a pedestrian crossing opposite the train station & a Sainsbury's local that has traffic going in & out. I suppose that what I pay my council tax for - stupid ideas.

Gatwick airport. Black holes are easier to escape. What would someone's impression be if that was their first glimpse of Britain?
Well you should have got the 1040 flight. Arrived Gatwick at 12 got they arrivals by 1 got an eat in McDonald's just outside Gatwick and was home near Romford by 230.

I've started wondering if it's the local in-joke that locals tell foreigners it's tasty when they know it's actually filth.
