So judging them on their size as well as what they are buying

And how is the kid misbehaving because he asked for a pack of biscuits ?!

I never said that the child misbehaved.. he wanted a pack of biscuit which he was denied because they did not have the money...

... correction, they had the money, but made the choice of buying alcopop rather than biscuits. I am sure once they get back to their house, they are having a party and were only short of the alcopop but have all the food in the world. I do wish them well.

I am not being 'too' judgemental or taking a moral high ground, but made an observation of what I saw... I am sure I am wrong and I hope I am..

they were out of Daily Mail and Hello, so decided to get the Times instead.. was having my senior moment..
 
Continual overnight closures of the underpass doubling [sometimes trebling] my journey time home...

As it is now supposed to be a 24/7 world how about some daytime closures to spread the pain out a bit....
 
Companies announcing record profits and then not providing pay hikes to employees..

.. good for short term investors, bad for the economy and society as a whole..

<I shall eagerly await LPhil's views on this>
 
.... "I'm losing the will to live"... with members of on-line forums who take life too seriously and just insult other members. Usually the same members who are also guaranteed to take a post off subject.
 
They were doing check on untaxed cars around Bracknell today. One gentleman got pulled and told his car was untaxed and not insured and was being seized and because he was foreign suddenly started playing the race card. Really annoys me when they use this in the hope others will back down
 
Today I had to take the younger boy to the hospital for a 3-week check on his broken thumb.

So, I leave home at 12:55 to pick him up from his school at the end of 4th period and bring him home for lunch. His school, according to the Googles, is 1.8 miles from our house. THIRTY-FIVE minutes later, I pick him up. I would like to have strong words with the idiot that thinks putting temporary 4-way traffic control onto a bottleneck junction is acceptable!

We're now short on time but we need some bits from home, so I spend 20 minutes going home via a 12 mile detour. Dash in, get bits, bolt food, out. We've now got just under an hour to get to the appointment, should be OK.

20 minutes later, we're a mile from home again but now finally driving without traffic, we get to Oxford, crawl for a while, but make it to the OP clinic at 2:43 for our 2:45 appt. Hurrah!

And then we sit and wait for TWO HOURS. TWO HOURS!!!! And guess how long the appointment takes? TWO MINUTES. Seriously, two minutes. Quick feel of the thumb, any pain? Nope, you're fine then, off you go, get back to your sport. So here's a question, the clinic started at 1:30 and our appt was 2:45. How the hell do you get 2 hours behind within 75 minutes? Did they not see any patients at all for the first hour? It's an out patients trauma clinic with variable demand, that much I get. And today was busy, that much I get. But they know in advance that today has 80 patients booked, surely? So why the hell would they give out appointment times that they have no intention of even trying to meet? The level of organizational incompetence that lets a child sit in a waiting room for 2 hours past a timed appointment time surely can be improved upon?

By the time we get home, having crawled through 5pm Friday traffic and taken another 10 mile detour, I have lost five hours of my life for TWO BLOODY MINUTES of hospital time. Just kill me now, and try to make it painless?
 
HGV drivers on dual carriageways who feel the need to overtake the lorry in front that is travelling at 59.98mph while they bomb past at 59.99mph massively holding up the outside lane. Boils my pee.
 
Without doubt, my #1 wind up and happens all the time:

Sitting at a roundabout or junction with extremely busy traffic nose to tail coming from the right, looking for the smallest of gaps, when some prat decides they're going to turn left but they don't indicate......I could have easily gone, but assuming they were going straight on, can't.....cue another 5 minutes waiting for another gap..........scum of the earth!! :rant:
 
Being in work on a Saturday with nothing to do whilst the sun is shining and your swindle mates send you a pic of them on the first tee ?!?!! Bunch of @&&£&&£&&& :rant:
