Random Irritations

[The Fader]

I once read a negative review about a hotel, “it don’t serve chips every day”.

I love stumbling across "oddball" reviews. So, not really an irritation but......

I was researching restaurants in Amble and came across a restaurant called Rossini. Vast majority are decent reviews but
when they get a bad one - the owner just comes across as a crazy! What are these type of people thinking??

Bought a new stand bag off ebay. The headline description didn't mention the colour, but from the picture it looked like black with red zips.

The bag turned up today, the zips are a bright neon pink!

Sounds great.

Dennis Taylor at Milford GC.

Robert Plant in a pub khazi in the 1980s.

Gary Lineker at school.
Can't actually remember a specific occasion, but have more than 95% certainty it did happen sometime. About fifty years ago so memory is hazy.
Probably showered with him as well after games of footy.
He wasn't famous then of course, but I'm fairly sure he thought he was................................................ (going to be)

Sounds great.

It was sent straight back. The mickey taking I would have endured didn’t bear thinking about!

I've been there, I work in Amble. Decent enough Italian. Not exceptional, not bad. Cheap and cheerful.

I think there’s a Thread here….. who have you had a p** with?

Jack Straw in the gents at a TV studio I was working in. Exchanged a few pleasantries.

Next day a sign was put on the door “Contractors are not to use this toilet”

Amble, nice harbour. Had a couple of good meals in the fish shack.

Flat tyre which I presume is now ruined after driving at least 2 miles on it. Car has only done 2,200 miles

It's improved / transformed massively in the last few years. A different place compared to when I first started there.

WWF wrestler The Edge at an Extreme concert at The House of Blues in Downtown Disney.

He's a big lad

You had a good shufty then?

Not when you’re playing with the seniors, half of them are still stuck in the 70s!

Just remind them that pink was invented in the Victorian era as a colour for boys.

Pot hole claims getting rejected. Usual excuses from them designed to deter people from carrying on. I've now submitted a data request to see if said road was inspected when they say it was. If it backs them up I'll be forced to take it to court. I'll represent myself and the worst case is even if I lose, the net result is a huge loss for them after they've paid legal fees so I'll take some comfort from that out of sheer spite!

Another claim will be going in as pot hole has cracked a suspension spring in the past few weeks which will cost £500+ to fix.

How do you invent a colour?

Good idea, that means there will be less money to repair potholes, provide social services and everything else that councils are struggling to pay for nowadays. But as long as you get some satisfaction.
