Random Irritations

[Mandofred]

People who still use Fahrenheit full stop

No wonder we can never change ..1960s and still people use it

Mental

Still using miles, miles per hour......I'm sure there are plenty of other things......I could link this directly to my opinion of golf courses retaining old habits/rules and not changing with the times (shall I mention white socks only?).

the person who driften over into my lane coming back from golf today and almost hit me... sounded my hooter at them and as i passed noticed they were writting someting down with pen and paper on the steering wheel... lot a care in the world!!

I cannot take to herbal teas at all which is another irritation. Recently tried some tea pigs with ginger for digestion and might as well have heated up pond water! I'll have a look at those though as could possibly add some flavoured squash or something. Mind you that would also add an extra pee pit stop in the night!

I like the Pukka 3 ginger tea. About the only one I do though. I suffer the sleep teas as they do work for me.

If its 20 degrees Celsius in my mind it's double it and add 28. Kilograms and kilometres mean little to me. But then I am a dinosaur.

9 x 5ths +32, or 5 x 9ths - 32. from memory

Below 5C its cold
6-12 its cool
13-20 its fine
21-25 its warm
Over 25 its too damn hot so I don't care about the number

I lump it into 5's. At 5C I wear this. At 10C I wear that. etc etc I still convert occasionally....but everything in the UK depends on me not freezing to death (I grew up in the wet NW Washington). I'm playing in the morning....there will be running tights on under my trousers. If I'm out for my morning 5 miles walk (not golfing)....if it's under 10C I start with gloves on. Under 5C I go with the slightly thicker gloves. 1C or less....the baseball hat goes away and I go with something that covers the ears. I could go on....but everything is based on the 5's theory. I think I might go with my "flash" tights in the morning.....yes....flash, as in the guy who runs really fast. My other ones are Cpt America tights.....those are for medals in cold weather. I'm not quite right in the head......

Bought a lotto ticket in Sainsburys this evening.

As I was standing there I could sense a bloke standing close, too close, behind me. I turned around and he's within touching distance, no mask, I was in no mood for discretion and told him to get the f back... Which he did. Yes, I was blunt and to the point.

He then tried to start a rant about "I should say please", my counter-rant contained various statements about "how much info do stupid people need" and " we're fed up with tolerating morons, it's being going on for nearly 9 months"...

Then the security guard stepped in and escorted him out the store ?, apparently he's got previous.

Sounds like my experience last week with people almost in your back pocket. I found a discreet step backwards onto their toes had the necessary effect

My C to F conversion is simple - Double it; add 30; and take a wee bit off.

I've taken to using a shopping trolley rather than a basket. Putting that behind you in the queue has the same effect.

Idris Elba.

More specifically his singing on the Sky Cinema ad.

Good actor but my God his singing is GBH of the ears!

Even my wife agrees and she thinks he is fantastically sexy.(Can't see it myself but there you go)?

Trouble is in Bracknell put it behind you to keep the space and fail to keep an eye on it and stuff will get whipped out of it in a blink.

Last time someone did that I grumbled under my breath and then was irritated for hours I didn't tell him to go forth. I have made a pact with myself that no more will I silently complain - watch out non-mask-wearers or under-nose/chin-mask-wearers standing too close...I'm ready!

Or... remember the fact that 16C is 61F and 28C is 82F. And anything in between is somewhere between . Dont need to be much more accurate than that .
