Random Irritations

[USER1999]

China, chinese food (in China), chinese factories, chinese people, polution, noise, jet lag, dust, ah, whatbghe heck, being stuck here in China.

It isn't random though, so wrong thread.

Played a comp at West Lancs a few years ago, 36 holes with the same person, no idea what his name was after a couple of holes and it seemed rude to ask again (and the card was just his first initial and surname) so spent over 8 hours calling him "mate".
I would've been in my mid-late20s at the time

I am now very adept at having conversations with people in that same manner, ie being friendly but without ever actually using their name. I am like a Thesaurus of alternatives. It is hard work though.

The cretin I have just heard on the news complaining about London Underground. Two people were found dead next to railway lines overnight near Stratford and all indications are they were graffiti "artists" who touched the live rails and died. Yes it is sad when anyone loses their lives but let's remember these people trespass on the lines and leave their "artwork". This moron thought London Underground should be prosecuted for not completely securing all their property to stop these people breaking in. Darwin's Theory perhaps? These idiots were going to try to break in no matter what and unfortunately got what was coming to them.

That's my default. Great when talking in male company but no so good when talking to ladies and a more common "mate" type vernacular never seems right

I believe the female equivalent is "luv".

Not any more it's not. It's a brave man that uses that expression now to a woman

My bad. It must be "darlin'" then in that case.

One of my favourite evenings out [of all time] was a fish 'n chip supper at the Magpie's in Whitby... The waitresses, much to my great amusement, addressed my good lady as 'pet' for the entire time we were there...

'My bad'.

One guy I know refers to everyone as 'me duck' I think he was from the Midlands.

Lack of urinal ettiqutte.
Popped to the gents before I left work and there are 5 urinals.
A guy was already at number 5.
Guy walked in in front of me and parked up at number 2!
Left me in a dilemma as I couldn’t avoid being next to one of them

The BBC going mental about over one million people signing a petition to delay Brexit. OK so another 16.2 million and you'll match the number of people who voted democratically to leave.

I might print that out and pin it up in the bogs at work
