  • Going to the pub you have lunch in nearly every day all year and being told there is no table available because of Christmas tourists.


  • The use of the phrase Happy holidays when they really mean happy Christmas but are too American.
  • Not being able to get a black cab home when you use them all year but it’s ‘holiday season’.

    I should have a fucking loyalty card or summat. Wait on the streets one time a year users.

    When you stop and help a member of staff at a local coop and prevent him taking a slap and the stealing £200+ of goods and get this.

    Hi Ray. Thanks for helping prevent this in store. The store would have taken the proper measures to get this logged on their side. We will be in touch if we need to. Have a nice day. ^Elliot
  • People who don't fold back the end of the sellotape!

    The people who suddenly turn up at pubs from about now until New Year. Who don't understand pub ettiquette (sp? ).

    some people might see this as going against pub etiquette but in our modern times it is something that i do: when arriving at a pub nowerdays you are usually confronted with several pumps, most of which you have no idea what they taste like. you could just take pot luck and order a pint of the one that sounds the most promising but what with the rate alcohol prices have been going up and the amount of flowerey crap on offer this kinda of practice for me anyway is not worth the risk. so i do ask if i dont know the beer for a taste. i usually make sure that this is done in a bar that isent crowded with people queuing for a drink but I know back in the day this was not the done thing. Glad that spoons always suggest to try before you buy.

    That's not my concern. The one that really winds me up, and it's a relatively new thing, is people forming queues at the bar.
    You don't need to do this competent bar staff know who's next.

    I mean that makes me think you've emailed them for some praise, hope it's not the case of course.

    Have to say the bar staff of old who were like air traffic controllers when knowing who was next are not as common anymore. Young people on low wages with little experience seem to be the norm in the more busier pubs.
  • People trying to be funny through song, like that London Underground song or the mums doing their version of ‘This is me’. Really make my skin crawl.

    Makes me think they are covering their own arses and, as if he didn't do enough in preventing the incident, they are paving the way for harassing him with 20 questions about why he was there and why he did what he did trying to make it seem like he was in the wrong when all he did was help!

    Seen these 'corporate' responses before and they wind me up too.

    If you're the type of person to jump in and help you will but that sort of bollocks makes you think twice about getting involved. In my opinion.

    People in the local store know my dogs and how to contact me.
  • Vegans!


    Just curious as to why? How come not ‘self-righteous vegans’ or ‘militant vegans’ or ‘for whatever reason vegans’? We’re not just a homogeneous lump of sameness, we come in a lovely variety of humanity.

  • The adjective 'artisanal'


    Although art can indeed be anal I suppose
  • I have just been watching a programme and it had an artisanal ice cream shop in it.

    Yeah, I hate this. I think it's a result of having those service terminals placed on the bar. In the old days there'd be a till (or perhaps even two if you were lucky) placed at the back of the bar. Customers could approach from anywhere and the bar staff would tell them the price, usually added up in their head, take the money and fetch change. Nowadays you have to pay at one of a set number of terminals so everyone ends up jockeying for the same spot. It's worse in pubs where they take food orders on these, and worse still where they have a single dedicated machine to take food orders. That's progress.

  • The silly cow holding everyone up at Barnehurst Station tea hut this morning cos she was talking about the dangers of Brexit. Same as the rest of them, looked like a sack of shit tied together in the middle. Get out the way some of us have to go to work.
  • I’ve used this one before but as it’s raining I’ll use it again. People with umbrellas. Soon as they hold one they turn into right dickheads. Don’t worry about my eyesight, you just poke me in the eye mate as long as you’re dry.

    I tested out my new umbrella this morning......I'm just over 6ft though so I don't think I was doing any eye gouging.

    Worst thing about people with Umbrellas are those that have one that take up the whole pavement

    Seriously you dont need one that big!!
  • A week before Xmas and my car trashes its engine, cam belt went pop, car scrapped , not worth repairing.
    And to make matters worse I had to get the train to work with the great unwashed. An hour and half journey on train compared to 30 mins in car.
    Nice!

    Ouch! Always worth keeping up with the replacement schedule for cam belts. Even if you do a low mileage, they deteriorate with age as well as use.

    Walking through the City with their their insurance-branded golf umbrella that they got for free at some event which could keep all of the uninjured Charlton squad dry if it needed to.

    Anyone under 5'6 should be banned from owning an umbrella in London. They can just keep dry by walking close to a tall person
