Drink hand pulled real ale served at cellar temperature, not the crappy ice cold, fizzy, gas pumped up stuff and you won't have that problem.

public toilets where the tap water is high pressure can be a minefield if your wearing light coloured trousers.

That's why I never wash my hands.

Some years ago, I was on a training course held at the Holiday Inn. As lunch approached, I was absolutely bursting to go loo. Unfortunately, the toilet contained just 2 urinals and 2 cubicles all were being used and there was a queue of 4 or 5 people. 

Eventually, it was my turn. 

However, I had a brand new pair of cream coloured denim trousers from Next on and they had button flies.

I was really struggling to undo them so after only completing two of them and unable to wait any longer, I managed to get hold of the little fella and pee.

Within 2 or 3 seconds, I felt a warm sensation going down my leg. 

I hadn't quite retrieved enough to fully clear the remaining, still fastened buttons.

Plus, of course, there was now a massive dark patch showing down my trousers.

Luckily - if that's the right word - it was a sunny warm day, so I went over to Castle Park lay in a quiet spot and let the sun evaporate my embarrassment.

If I stunk of stale urine that afternoon, folk were too polite to say anything.

For wearing cream coloured denim trousers - Fully deserved.

People who use their hands and not the tongs at buffets. Inconsiderate and unhygienic fvckers.

Equally, eating said buffet food before sitting down. Don't stand at the buffet eating you peasants.

Or in supermarkets. At least a buffet is actually a place for eating.

Amazon leaving parcels on your door stop.

I understand why they do this but it's like paying for minimal delivery effort for something that is 50/50 as to whether it's stolen or not.

Is there a default delivery message to "tap the door and leave my parcel outside"?

You can update delivery preferences in your account. They don't take any notice. I have a safe place listed in mine, stuff still gets left on the doorstep. I complain to the regularly about it.

At least that's usually only £1. Much worse when you're in the US and the terminal suggests an 18 or 20% tip. No thanks.

People at the cinema thinking they're at home. Eating loudly, talking loudly, taking their shoes off & putting their feet on the chair in front.

I got fed up with Amazon orders arriving at random times so now they leave my things at a shop (Amazon pick-up point). Convenient and no delivery charge.

Sine **** scraped my car in Aldi car park Hamilton, no note nothing .

No CCTV there either

Some proper w@nkers around who shouldn't be driving.

Selfish dicks who would rather risk someone's life than walk a few minutes.

I know Wells well and the beach is about ¼ mile from the actual village, and the beach car park isn't massive, but to think it's ok to block access to the lifeboat station, which is a little before the carpark, to avoid a (very pleasant) 10 minute walk, is pathetic. These people should receive the highest possible fines.

It's usually whatever charity the store is supporting. Asda recently was for breast cancer and IME it's displayed on the screen.

I admit I did catch a car with mine in a carpark today (not Aldi and not a scrape, more a rubbing). I was fortunate enough to be able to rub the marks off and then park some distance away. I doubt they'll notice

Anyone who has blocked any emergency services' access any where, should be reported by those services and the car towed away, with the owners having to pay a hefty fine to get the car back.

Weather forecasters,  or reporters that presume to speak for the entire country.  I don’t like the extreme heat, so the weather isn’t‘ actually “glorious” or “sensational”. I want the facts, not your interpretation of them!

For me anybody who likes the extreme heat has already been affected by the sun and gone a bit potty.
