your step-son falling out with his girl
coming back here-lying in bed all day-making a mess of the shower-not cleaning up-i make his food-he doesnt wash up
realising his ipad isnt big enough to watch netflix-getting his grandpa out of his pj's to take him to his girls house to pick up 40" tv plus other things
they make up 2 days later (as per usual) and either me or lisa have to cart his stuff back-while he walks in the house & dont bother helping
like nothing ever happened
annoyed? me? nah?

Hang in there Pirate ....you will survive
Thank God I don't have my own kids.
Any cheek and i'd tan their hides
We've all bought them ....
The softest brushed fabric - double stitched for strength and comfort.
This wonderfully comfortable garment then has the scratchiest label attached and it's going to irritate the life out of you !!!

I can identify with that complaint, Sainty. I'm a sensitive little peach and often have to cut off the labels from clothes.

Virgin! in this case bills and waiting times on customer service 
Just seen the quite bizarre behaviour of the 'boxer' Bellew on TV. I think it just goes to show that repeated hits to the head have long term negative behavioural effects.
The funny thing was that he was being interviewed in a clothes shop trying on a new suit - WTF, you have just made a pot of cash, go buy a properly tailored suit instead of getting a generic off the peg suit.

Ah, Sprout, you mistake was to go to customer services. I always ask for the cancellations team. You get put through quickly as there is not as many engaged in that department and they can still help you.
Overheard hospital staff chatting about rotas.
"I'm desperate to fill a shift tomorrow - I've asked everyone, they can't do it. Can you?"
No pressure then.
ADULT colouring-in books !!
Fer-Christ-sake ... if you have that much time on your hands do something a bit more worthwhile - like voluntary work in your local community.
Why not just sit with an elderly neighbour and reminisce about the old days?

People who play their mobiles loudly on the bus - today I had one in the morning (6:30am and rap - not a great combo) and one on my journey home. It should be legal to shoot these people.

So at a cost of billions . . . scientists have lost contact with some ruddy space probe to sodding Mars after it crash landed.
But of course they're saying it's been a "success"

Tim Shaw - what an absolute idiot, ruins the show
The earlier every year that fireworks start
Awww c'mon its a great tradition
If I ever win the lottery, the village I live in will enjoy a proper traditional firework display - with jacket potatoes, entertainment and more
I really don't mind fireworks but not for weeks beforehand 
London Lights - how they are missed 
Amazon Echo ... its a diary and a tape recorder
Not exactly revolutionary
I don't need a speaker to tell me what I need to do. I only need a bluetooth one to play my music on. Like this one. It's the bees knees (I think)

I too love fireworks , but to have them for weeks during the run up and for a week or so after is a pain in the rear when one is trying to sleep at 10pm for a 5:20am start.
