The woman sat opposite me at work chewing gum, it’s all I can hear and it is so distracting.

That's terrible. Is it not her house too?!

I'm one hundred percent sure that arriva have changed the bus times for my bus and not told anyone, but I can't prove it.

The timetables get reevaluated every October and April, mine didn't change last April. Up until a couple of months ago my second bus was always due at 17:31 but was mostly late. My first bus gets me to the stop at 25 past. Depending on how late the bus was I would usually get home about 17:50.

Now the second bus is due at and comes at 17:24 so I always miss it. I change buses at the train station and the stops are on opposite sides of the square. I now get home at gone 6.

I wouldn't be half as pissed off if they'd actually announced the change.

Could you give an example, I don't really know what you mean

To me 'floor' is inside and 'ground' is outside

My neighbour next door have this funny noise like a bird on a wheel, or hamster wheel..i can hear it now and again, and when i sit out the back it just drives me insane..I feel like asking what is that annoying noise ..i think they put the cage outside and its like a rusty swing Lol

I know you're not asking me, but I hear this plenty of times too, and it unfailingly irks me. Eg: "I saw him walk out of McDonald's, take out his burger and just throw the wrapper on the floor."

Fake edit: Ah! Was your meant ironically (ie, you hear it lots, too), and your to show that you don't understand how people can get it wrong?

Genuine edit: Assuming the McDonald's wasn't in a shopping centre...

The latter is the correct way regardless of what software is installed. I wouldn't write an address any other way, but then I'm very pedantic.

Needing a CRT Monitor. Went to eBay and found one that wasn't collection only (which wasn't easy) :yay:. FSeller had to do much fannying around with different couriers to get one who would leave it outside my flat door if I wasn't in per my request, what a guy. :yay: Monitor arrived today :yay: Left as requested :yay: Perfect packaging :yay: Looks in top notch condition, even for something so darn old :yay:. What a perfect eBay experience.

Only one thing wrong........ I'd forgotten just how fkn huge these CRT Monitors are, especially the 17" version that I went with cos "hey, since I'm buying one anyway and bigger is better, why not go for the max size, will look great", and I will need to do much rearranging of the desk to get the fkr to fit and even then I can imagine it feeling like "hey that thing is so big it's taking over the desk. :dammit:

Why on earth are you buying a CRT monitor?

And 17" isn't that big. I've got a 19" CRT in the spare room.

^not going into too much detail but I think I might be allergic to LCD monitors so wanted to go back to a CRT one for a while to confirm/deny thiis.

As to size, compared to my LCD it's about x14 the volume, luckily my desk is fkn big too !!

I dislike how easily fatigue can make me emotional.

Just spent a few minutes crying after hearing a report that a little girl, who'd been shot in the head by her estranged father in Sussex yesterday, has passed away today. I have been hoping she'd survive.

I read that in Father Ted's voice "What is making that incredibly annoying noise?"

The fact that the water filter jug thing can only cope with about a mugful of water at a time. That means to do enough water for two of us i have to make a seperate trip to the kitchen to refill it and then give it time before going back to make tea!

I dont even see the point of the bloody thing but apparently it keeps limescale away from the kettle.

That the older you get the longer hangovers last

The information leaflets inside boxes of tablets.

My favourite videos disappearing from youtube.

No, I really didn't know what he meant. If I HAVE heard it it's obviously not bothered me

One thing than does irk me is people wanting to lend something when it should be borrow

I've only had one hangover since I passed thirty. It's been going on for twenty years...

They should have strip cartoons and a club you can join like 'Bazooka Joe' used to. I'd love a Tesco Paracetamol secret ring.

Of course not! Just as the tv wasn't hers either. He had a nasty habit of walking into the room and changing the channel, regardless of who was watching or what they were watching. Then he'd sit down and read a book. He lives alone now and presumably can do what he wants!

Sorry Patt-Ann - I just saw your questions now. Yes, that what the words mean to me too, but I'm constantly hearing people (even so-called "educated" people) say floor when they're referring the ground outside.

Buying bananas and forgetting to test them for squishyness before leaving the store. Was in the right mood for a couple of the thingies only to find the whole darn bunch were bin-bound as they were all fkt

Can I join please?!

I'm sitting here bleary-eyed because my son did a(nother) gaming all-nighter, meaning I've had about an hour's sleep (in snatches of 10 mins here and there). But now, he's fast asleep and I've got to stay partially sentient because I need to pay the chap who mows the lawns in about an hour.

I'll just ask the lawnmower man to make sure he pays particular attention to the bit of lawn just underneath my son's window. Then I might switch the hoover on at the top of the stairs outside his door. I won't use it, just switch it on and leave it there for a bit.
