next door has six cats (you all know that I hate cats don't you?). Apparently our garden has a bit catty sign on it saying Cat Loo. Hubby regularly trowels up the cat poo (I can't watch that Harveys ad about troweling up the weeds without sniggering) and throws it over the neighbour's fence.

 

I grow a big holly bush so that I can regularly cut it and lay it over bare earth (before planting) so that the cats don't foul it.

 

One time hubby trowelled up some poo and threw it over the fence ... sitting in the middle of the poo was a great big branch of holly. It landed on the neighbour's shed roof ... and stayed there for over six months. 

 

You might be praying for rain now - we did rain dances then hoping that it would flush the evidence away!!

 i've been tempted to throw it back but it's my friends cat that keeps doing it, right in the middle of the lawn

Went out for lunch the other day and there was a couple sat at the table next to us. She was making conversation with him while he just grunted 'uh huh' back as he had had phone held in front of his face.... he didn't even make eye contact!! She didn't seem too fussed (or it didn't show) I just what a rude man!

A while ago one of my sisters asked me to meet her for coffee.  The whole time she sat there with her head bowed, her phone in hand, texting her fella and updating her facebook.  Next time she asked I said no.

Footballers who are now commonly seen to "slap" the grass if a decision dares go against them.

If you could stay on yer feet - you'd be stamping like a 5yr old

 

Fake concern, "Oh - were you ok - we were worried"

Really? How come you never called then? Bloody liar!!

 

Pushy women - bear with me on this one, ok.

There seems to be an epidemic of bolshy, loud women recently acting like it is their God-given right to shout their gobs off at anything.

My family has loads, work has loads, TV is full of them!!

Its just . . . you ladies are better than that (us guys aint)

 

And finally - the over sensitives who think they have the right never to be offended - or even "glanced" at in the wrong way ... idiots!!

I went to a wedding recently and a friend was doing that. I asked what she was doing and she said "checking in on FB". Get a grip

Beggars belief doesn't it.  Admittedly I always have my phone with me because our office phones get directed to me when if they aren't answered within so many rings. But I'm not sitting there staring at it waiting for it to ring.  To be honest half the time I miss the calls anyway because I didn't hear it from the bottom of my bag.

Yes the phone thing is annoying - I think just as TV changed our cultural habits the mobile is doing the same. If you go anywhere on a night out or a wedding etc. all you see is people taking photos and down loading onto FB - then they're checking their phones all night to see the response.

 

Maybe I'm miserable but I do find it a bit irksome.

The car wash people who seem to have taken over every supermarket carpark. I don't want a car wash with filthy water, thank all the same.

 

The very creaky branch on the tree outside our bedroom window...it's not ours and I can do naff all about it!

 

Very tatty ÂĢ5 notes.

 

Celery.

 

The fact that my favourite cup and saucer has a massive crack in it and I can't use it anymore.

 

 

Awwww Mrs B, I'm presuming it's next doors. Could you go round there and calmly explain your predicament and ask if they/you could cut that branch off. You never know, they might just be ameanable (sp) it might be bugging them too 


It's in the school opposite us nuts...we are seperated by a only a footpath and the tree hangs right over....we have complained numerous times but to no avail....when we told them we would chop it off ourselves they threatened us with the police. They are proper gits!!

"are we there yet?"

 

"there's nothing to eat" when the cupboards, fridge and freezer are full

 

People who say..."it's just a cat". If I choose to bring an animal into the house I treat it like one of my kids

 

"special invitations" to the smear clinic 

 

Parents who let their kids run wild outside the house so they can get peace inside the house

 

As a hairdresser...people who say "I'm not bothered what you do" then go into a half hour speech of what they want done...THEN when I tell them it won't sit right with their hair get all offended. FINE...I'll let you go out looking like a tit

 

People who say they can't afford to eat well.

 

Brushes in nail varnish that don't reach the bottom of the bottle

 

Adverts for starving children in Africa on the food channels

 

Starting a recipe then realising one ingredient you have is out of date

 

Cat hair in my contact lenses

 

Men that smell their socks to see if they'll get another day out of them

I'd also like to put adverts for Verrucas etc on the list, why do they always show them at tea time 

Don't even go there 

 

I have 2 teenage girls who google symptoms and to be honest I'm surprised they're still alive with the things they think they might have

have you spoken to the council about it?  I understood that you could cut something back to the boundary if it overhangs your property but you have to offer the cutting back as it's their property   if you haven't spoken to the council do so they could make the school act 

 

 

my grip:  people who moan that they're living hand to mouth on a low income just before they've gone on holiday to India and Goa and less than 4 months after coming back from Nicaragua and 10 months from a train holiday across Mongolia

Nothing makes me happier than when my boobs are swollen up like footballs and hurt so much that even the merest touch will bring tears...and when my mouth is saying things that I know are nasty yet it just carries on regardless.....roller skating sounds just the thing I need...get me a pair too Cagney and I'll see ya at the roller disco!!

Too short brushes annoy me too!

 

I'd totally use the out of date ingredient though, provided it doesn't have mould on it  

I still use the ingredients. Many months out of date. We're all still alive
