    There was a cat next door at my mum & dads who looked mean as s**t! Scars and just overall ragged & everytime I stepped out and he was there, would just stop what he was doing and just stare! Just kept thinking i'm in for a mauling soon!

    Driving over The Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

    Ladyromford would agree with you on this @limeygent - she freaks out going over the QE2 or the Severn Bridge and wouldn't even consider walking over the wobbly bridge in London.
    What is it about this particular bridge though? How long is it and is it a swayer? Or is it an irrational unease for you?
    It's over 4 miles across and about 185 feet over the water. The problem with driving over it is that the barriers at the sides are very low, and, particularly in an SUV, it feels like you can drive over the side.
    Haha! She definitely wouldn't willingly drive over that!

    Bureaux de change, know I'm going to get ripped off.

    1.31-0.95 the euro at Gatwick airport ... seriously how can that be legal
    People who buy currency at the airport don't even deserve parity. between GBP/EUR

    Why would you EVER buy at the airport when you can do click and collect and pick up at the same airport bureau at the 'normal' rates.

    The bureaux at the airport give bad rates as:

    1 - they have to pay a lot of money to be there.
    2 - they are contractually obliged to be open 24 hours which increases their costs compared to a high street branch of the same company.
    You forgot 3.... ...they are greedy fuckers!

    Actually, just public conveniences.

    Restaurants and cafes that serve food on wooden chopping boards. How can they possibly clean them thoroughly.

    I just couldn't settle after seeing it from afar and even though I heard his name I waited half hour for a close up to see if it really was him ...

    The book "Stickman" by Julia Donaldson. As he gets further and further away from his family it really gets to me.

    It can't be good for them all that sand getting into all their crevices.

    Mrs SA's a chopping technique. She can be a bit cack handed and sometimes holds the item to be chopped in one hand whilst cutting it with an 8 inch chefs knife in the other :neutral:

    I know how you feel @SuedeAdidas I train chefs for a living, the first day of knife skills I get that feeling. Seen the tops of thumbs chopped a few too many times

    The phrase 'my bad', this makes my toes curl through the tops of my shoes whenever I hear or read it. I really struggle not to flag people on here when I read it......!
    There's two things wrong with the phrase 'my bad', first that some complete moron thought it was a good couple of words to put together (it's not it's meaningless shit and makes you sound like a 5 year old) second thing wrong is that other fools copy it without thinking, and that it makes them sound like a complete Roland.
    Yep that makes me feel uneasy!

    Ive used the term 'my bad' for years. Rarely cock something up but when I do its 'my bad'

    Watching BASE jumpers do their thing. There was a geezer doing one on an excellent BBC* documentary last night about the Rockies. Proper brings me out in a sweat just watching.

    Well worth a watch btw... @i_b_b_o_r_g excluded obviously.
