Stay Positive

Dropping things. Especially food. And PARTICULARLY if you try to catch said food, successfully do so, but then in the process knock something else over which makes an even bigger mess .

Well, I only bought a one way ticket so I'm hopping off too.

It seems ridiculous, this, but in complete contrast to everyone else, I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll actually do it. There'e no logic or reasoning behind this thought - I just have this funny feeling...

Clocks going forward is pretty annoying when you have to work the following day, like I am now! 12 hour shift yesterday, and one less hour in bed before I came in today...

Someone reminded me about this in one of the music threads: when you're at a gig, and there's a crowd surge, and then you realise you're squashed between several hot girls. That feels NIIIICE....

Long posts.

I watched Robert Altman's "Pret-a-Porter" a few days ago. Definitely not his greatest film, but there were two and a half minutes towards the end which were EXTREMELY enjoyable to watch! [eyes popping out icon}

When you're feeling great and then your missus says to you "YOU'RE in a bad mood". Pretty much guaranteed to PUT you in a bad mood.

Well this doesn't "grind my gears", so to speak, but it made me cringe - I went into Rock-a-boom with my wife and asked the guy who works there if he had the Lazarus and The Plane Crash album, and he said he didn't, and the missus said, in a stupid voice "Computer says no", a reference to "Little Britain", which is a programme I never liked one bit. Then I asked if he had the Y Niwl one, and once again, he said no, and she DID IT AGAIN!! What's even more annoying is the fact that I know SHE doesn't like bloody "Little Britain" either! She got a bit of a telling off for that afterwards...

Torres scoring a hat trick against us. That was annoying. (I've just picked up my telepathy package).

That reminds me of when I was in WH Smiths and a disabled chap in a wheelchair came in. He parked himself very near to a bookshelf with a bit of a clonk, seemingly in an effort to make sure he wasn't blocking anyone, so I - and the few people around me - just carried on looking around as normal. Then a woman came over, and the guy in the wheelchair said to her "Excuse me love, I'm stuck", and then gestured towards me and the others, bitterly adding "and SOME people are too selfish to care!" WTF? I didn't bloody know he was stuck! And neither, for that matter, did anyone else!

I can handle the crappy music. It's just the incessant rubbish he talks. Which is why I never, EVER listen to Moyles.

There are posting figures for the thread?!! Why would anyone want to keep count of that?! Anyway another thing I find irritating is Reggie Yeats. I still sometimes listen (perhaps foolishly, as 96% of it's utter crap) to the charts on a Sunday night, especially if I'm driving to work, and I must hear the grand total of one song on my journey, the rest of the trip being filled to the brim with the utter drivel he spouts and texts about Michaela from Dagenham wanting Tinchy Stryder to be number one or something. I don't care, just play the sodding music! Obviously, I mean music in the loosest possible way.

Because if I said I was starving, you would actually think I was starving, wouldn't you? And if I told you someone was shitting bricks...

Having trouble reading my post Lisa?

Nope. Our cat (RIP) used the litter tray, which we regularly cleaned, and didn't use neighbours' gardens to relieve itself, unlike the thoughtless dog walkers who, on more than one occasion, used to let their mangy mutt crap ON MY DRIVE. Also, when my dad died in 2005, that cat followed me everywhere, clearly sensing I was upset, and was a far greater comfort to me than anyone in human form.

Daggers grinds my gears. Because he hates cats. And cats are ace.

Long minutes. I'm sure there are several minutes during a day where, instead of only lasting a minute, they last 4 times longer than that. Especially if we're 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go.

Good point. Yeah i know about the change thing. I was horrified when he pulled the bag out as I knew it was going to be a bit of a pantomime.

Oh yeah and people saying "asterix" when they mean "asterisk". I'm tempted to go and stick a new button on their keyboard of the little viking cartoon next to the asterisk key just so they know the difference.

Being caught up in embarrassing situations. I was with a mate who told me he'd got to go and pay a parking fine, so I went with him, and when we got there, he pulled out a bag of 1p coins and attempted to pay the fine off with that. The cashier was having none of it, and my mate was so annoyed that he turned round to the already rather large queue and asked them, as though they were a court jury or something "I ask you, is this not legal tender", making a real big thing of it. It was hideously embarrassing and it was obvious everyone in the queue was understandably thinking "Just pay your fine and piss off". I still cringe when I think of that.

Especially this bit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=teNgQTrv6pE

That's the whole point. If someone is travelling along at 70mph in the middle lane, the outside lane cannot be used by others unless they are speeding because of it.

You're breaking the rules of the Highway Code, which is that you should travel in the left hand lane unless you are overtaking.
