Those wee fcukers never pick off easily. Never. Check the top of the lid- they often have a sharp point to cave in the pesky foil a la tomato purée tubes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so the c***s that stand in the middle of the street trying to find out who your gas/electricity supplier is. Even after you take the widest berth possible away from them, they still cut into your path and bother you. In my line of work, I’m usually out and about with vulnerable people, and the amount of times they’ve repeatedly cut into our path to ask the same shite they asked us when we walked past/away from them the first time is nonsense. Even if they notice that the client I’m with is getting distressed from the hassle and interruption, they get bent out of shape if I sternly tell them that I’m not interested and that I’m currently working. Wankers. Earlier this year, a particularly egregious clipboard p***k repeatedly hung around outside our shop, no matter how many times he was politely asked to f**k off. They absolutely kill passing trade, as everybody's just desperate to get past them. He finally approached one of the local nutters, who took a couple of minutes out of his day to loudly excoriate the guy's life choices, personally and professionally. You'd better believe we had the popcorn out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) This is petty, but does irritate me. As a golfer of fifty years standing, when, and why, did Scots start referring to golf courses as ‘tracks’? Every conversation between other golfers I overhear these days... ‘Played Cawder last week, great track’... WTF? In all my years, that sort of conversation would have been ‘Played Cawder last week, great course’... or ‘great layout’, never, ever, would any golf course be referred to as a ‘track’.... ‘was at the British Grand Prix last week, aye, Silverstone. Great track’. When did all this ‘track’ shite start? Around the same time as Scottish blokes suddenly started giving it ‘mate’ every two seconds in a conversation? Aye mate, sure mate, see you at six mate, aye, same old, same old mate...’ Edited November 28, 2019 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must stop buying cheap shite from Home Bargains. Got a tube of tomato puree with a prong cap though. Will either make lasagne tonight, or start brushing my teeth with tomato puree.

All you want to do is to nip into Superdrug for a packet of Gillette razors, and you want to do it without trying to be converted to / from Scottish Power, but no, they clock you from a hundred yards. I know they’re just doing their job, but... I met 1 of these types in Curry's selling broadband and TV deals. She was quite tidy and I was in no hurry so gave her 10mins of my time for a laugh. I started by telling her "you'll no beat the price I pay the now". She seems to take this as a challenge worth winning. Told her what I pay for my fibre and TV package with Sky sports and she couldn't even get a deal close to what I pay. I got lucky with an introductory offer and when the period ran out and I threatened to leave, they kept the price the same for another year.

Muzza81 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 People with that put on *look at me* posh accent (very annoying in itself) that always have the eating manners of a fucking chimp. Constantly barking with their mouths full. The plague would be too good for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
