    People who claim their London dialing code is 0207 or 0208 or 0203

    It is just 020

    Like the people with an SE3 postcode in Kidbrooke, who claim they live in Blackheath.

    I think about 90% of South east London is now "Blackheath"

    a favourite of mine was "we are sorry for the late running of this train, this is being caused by delays"

    That pamphlet you get inside boxes of paracetamol/ibuprofen. I always open the box the side it is blocking access to my pills, what shitty design.

    The word "f*ckin" getting edited out by admin, but the accusing someone of having "mental" ideas being let go.

    Bit close to home that and it's proper wound me up
  • When a politician finds himself on the ropes during a TV interview and plays his ‘get out of jail card. (Peers into the camera lens and says) ‘This is a conversation that we need to have’.

    What conversation, with who and when? More pertinently how comes you haven’t already had the conversation and come up with some answers?

    Easily solved. Try opening it from the other end. :wink:

    The plank at the bar who keeps changing his drink order AFTER the barmaid has poured it (he's also ordering spirit mixers) then getting arsey when after he does this twice the barmaid refuses to change it because she is having to throw booze down the sink and now he's holding up other people ordering drinks by demanding he should be allowed to change his mind even though the drink is poured.

    Let's just say if it's takes you as long to order a drink as it does for someone to post on Charlton Life on how annoying you are, you ought to be barred from all pubs and bars forever for life. Especially this bloke who changed his order from vodka and coke to southern comfort and coke to Tia Maria and coke and then complained about having too much ice. This may have been acceptable in a Tiger Tiger but this happened in the pub down the road from me!!

    What you do behind closed doors is your own business just don't go slashing and crossing while you're in R!

    Precis this to "people who do not understand pub etiquette". Particularly prevalent in holiday towns where people who normally don't set foot outside their house after dark, decide to go to a bar because they are on holiday.

    Yep and me, I also sweep the bottom of a Z underneath so it resembles a 3 in some some peoples eyes. But then again at nearly 60 years old I wear a baseball cap so theres no hope left in this world for me. ;)

    Must admit, I also put a line through 7 and 0, but in my defence, I used to deal with a lot of figures, and one day someone mistook a 7 for a 1 that I had written, and there was a lot of problems, so I started crossing 7 and 0, and never had any problems after that

  • It annoys me that Walter Palmer doesn't understand what he's done wrong. He thinks people are angry at him for killing a famous and studied lion.

    The bloke can't see that people object to him taking the lives of innocent animals.
