Again, I'm told I'm behind the times because I use my mobile as a phone!
How weird am I?

Have a listen to Chris Farlowe singing Out of Time, cracking number, from the 60s I think Check out the 1986 version on YouTube looks like Tashyboy on the drums

They should at least wait until after Guy Fawkes night, preferably until the start of Advent.

Don’t get Imurg started on this, we’ll have to find somewhere to defuse him safely 😂

Completely agree, start of advent, still plenty of time to fleece us of hard earned cash.... Mind you don't get me started on the fact sales now start 24th December meaning you spend Christmas day annoyed that 24hrs earlier you sold your soul to buy the latest fad for one of the kids or mrs that you could order on Christmas day for next to nothing....

As no-one knows when Christmas day actually is, you can have it whenever you want

I went to a fantastic Xmas party years back on 25th June. Decorations, Xmas songs, mistletoe the works - tremendous idea and we were still outside singing carols at 9.45 in the evening.

But now, Xmas decorations and music can start on December 1st and not before. Little Shark's birthday is 30th November so that takes priority first.

Re-seal (allegedly) food packages/bags. Those plastic strips where the thin one fits in a groove in the thick one. They never flipping line up and take an age to finally get precise enough to re-seal. Do my head in - and that's EVERY day!

M25 variable limit. 40 mph. Ha. A dream. Then they flash up to 50. Ha. Still haven't moved.

Being on holiday and forgetting to switch the alarm off on your phone.
Mrs Dando wasn’t happy

My mother in law phones my Mrs every single day, normally twice at least..... she also texts and whatsapp generally just to be nosey and to keep tabs on her.

My Mrs will generally not answer now as its always pointless drivel, but the mother in law will call another 4-8 times just in case normally within a 10 minute period.

Over the weekend the normal routine was adhered to but this time because she didnt answer she turned up on the door step to make sure she was ok.

This has been happening for years, despite her asking her to cut it out on numerous occasions.

Not sure what to do now.

Move house and don't give her the address

Buy a doorbell with a camera; and when she rings the bell and you can see it is her - don't answer

Honestly, she'd just walk around and stand at the patio doors..... It's like dealing with Mike Myers (and not the funny shagadelic one)

Getting to an empty McDonalds drive through in lane 1, waiting a minute, someone else pulling into lane 2 and they get served first.

Having to do the the sales managers job for them because they haven't bothered then being the one that gets the grief for them not bothering...... is it to early in the week to tell a regional business manager to do one!!!

 

[patricks148]

people in 4X4's who drive straight past a passing spot and who won't move off the road, to let a car past they should have waited for.

I get The Telegraph on a Saturday and I think there was a letter similar to this to Graham Norton, he is surprisingly good as an Agony Aunt by the way. He told them that, in this instance, your wife needs to have a frank discussion with her mother. Lay down some rules. Tell her they will still speak but not as frequently or obsessively. She needs to be honest and straight. Good luck.

Complete numpties who turn up at Sunday League footy looking for a fight. And the refs that refuse to send them off for some reason. This clown on the opposition yesterday could have broken my mate's ankle with a studs up sliding challenge, only picked up a yellow for it, by my count he should have already had two yellows before that. He then elbowed someone in the back as well and got away with that, his team just subbed him off before half time to save face. Ridiculous.

I remember playing in match when one of the opposition headbutted one of our defenders, we quite rightly went mad but the ref decided a yellow was appropriate. Again we went mad and the ref still didn't want to send him off but he voluntarily walked off as he realised he was in the wrong.

Did see some disgraceful stuff playing sunday league.

I don't bother with it anymore, can't be turning up to work on crutches because some bell thinks its the world cup final one Sunday morning.
