19QOS19 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 People wishing each other "Happy Christmas" before the day itself. It's mostly media types south of the border but it's still mildly irritating. Would you wish someone a Happy Birthday a fortnight before the day itself? I probably would actually. I don't think I've ever said "Happy Christmas" to anyone but from about here if I meet someone I haven't seen in a while my parting statement will probably be "if I don't see you before, have a nice christmas". Same would go for birthdays, though I'm shite with dates so that hasn't happened too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 How come some tins have ring pulls and others you still have to open with medieval machinery. What's worse is the good c***s are folk like aldi chopped tomatoes and the dicks are premium brands like ambrosia and John west. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old fashioned tin opener all the way. (how many Kenneth Williams in 3 lines) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids are his world but she already stopped them from seeing his family if she took the huff at some perceived slight so I feel really sorry for them too. If only she'd just done one and left the kids behind!! I can’t abide people who think this is an ok thing to do. If it was a dangerous situation kids be in then clearly that’s different But using them as pawns is shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't open a tin of corned beef you should be allowed to starve to death to improve the gene pool. My sister is a perfect example.

Shandon Par Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Is this serious? We are now claiming a mountain in Antarctica is now "UK's highest peak". BBC peddling imperialist bollocks.

Trackdaybob Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Shell filling station at Kings Lynn A47/A17 junction. Slowest fuel delivery ever!!! A mate once told me they can alter the delivery speed on the pumps to pacify you in some way as you see your money disappearing so bloody quickly Not sure how true that is but some pumps do seem to deliver fuel a lot faster than others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some diesel pumps have a button on them to allow a faster fill for lorries. Not sure if a cars fuel tank would handle it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
