When you can't find where your jizz landed

Sorry, no. I know too many people who have either died prematurely or have had their lives ruined by alcohol consumption, or have put themselves in potentially dangerous situations as a result of having consumed too much alcohol.

Somebody who drinks excessively is not a 'character' or anything of the sort. He/she is a danger to him/her self and to society.

If you haven't seen the other side of alcohol consumption and the sheer misery it brings, you can consider yourself very fortunate.”

A few people in my family do this and it annoys me no end. You're not cool or clever, you're just an idiot.

Following on from this when said people then take the mickey out of you for drinking. I very rarely drink but the other night I went out for a meal and while there decided I fancied a few (e.g. 4 drinks so by no means drunk) so left my car and got a taxi home. The next morning everyone starts texting asking if i'm hungover and how embarrassed am i that i had to leave my car.

Well, I'm not hungover because I wasn't really drunk and I'm not embarrassed at all that i chose not to drive while over the limit and tipsy.

Sorry rant over!

I can think of a lot more annoying things that lads on a drunken night out do other than wearing Christmas jumpers.

I've been quite annoyed by the amount of vomit pools that I've had to avoid treading in this weekend in town - possibly supplied by lads in Christmas jumpers on a drunken night out!!!

People who give you good old advice, however not really wanted because it is none of their business.

I can imagine that would be embarrassing when sat on the bus.

That I'm just supposed to accept that my Grandma is closed minded because she's old.

Roger Penrose was on Radio 4 the other week, he's 85- ten years older than my grandma and he was talking about string theory, advanced mathematics, quantum mechanics and his theories on consciousness, which in my opinion at least, were very contemporary and relevant and he came across in such a charming, self deprecating way, even when challenged on one of his books by the presenter who "didn't agree with everything in it" he countered that even he "didn't agree with everything in it"

Being old shouldn't give you a free pass on being closed minded, set in your ways, rude and charmless. You don't have to be a stick in the mud, you can be an inspiring figure who continues to push the envelope and isn't just another old fuddy duddy stereotype. I think you have to fight old age in that way really.

I'm not sure if it's something that happens as they get older or whether it's something we start to realise as we get older. I love my grandad to bits but recently he had had some very questionable views on certain topics, of course I don't love him any less but I do wonder if this is a new thing or if he's always been like that and I didn't realise.

My Granddad was the enlightened one in my family I think. We'd talk about space, nature shows, music, all sorts really. Now it's just my grandma and she's way more set in her ways, she's Irish Catholic, my granddad was always far more questioning about religion, they both moved away from Ireland fairly young.

I think I can forgive a certain amount, but then it just gets to the stage where I end up thinking, I hope I never get like that. In many ways though, I think I have more in common with her than I do my parents. We both have the fiery streak at least!

The speed limit on a dual carriageway near me changed from 40 to 30 several years ago, and the sign saying New Speed Limit... is still up

Some traffic lights I go through every day have just had an arrow added for people turning right - I wonder how long the New Traffic Signals Ahead sign will be there for

They way that the use of fixed exercise bikes has suddenly become 'spinning'. Whenever anyone tells me they go spinning I imagine some kind of high-energy dancing with people whirling all over the place, but it's just pedalling and getting sweaty without the nice scenery going by.

They are two different types of bike though, you don't use regular bikes for spinning.

Ah, I'm confused. I said exercise bikes (by this I meant bikes that don't go anywhere, a bit like the one I have to pedal at the hospital for health checks) - are these not used in spinning?

Me too.

Likewise these godawful programmes about people buying and selling a load of old tat!

And those with people who want to move to the country/abroad. They've usually got a stupid budget (one that was on a few weeks ago had a couple with over £1.5 million) to spend. Estate agents would be falling over themselves to find them somewhere - why involve the TV people unless you just want to advertise how much dosh you've got!
And they generally don't find a place that the people want...

The real challenge would be to try to find a place for a family who have to move and have several children and pets and a couple of hundred thousand or less to spend.

But no, "do you have them in a 9 ? " I ask, expecting the answer no, " sorry, we've sold out, we've got plenty in the size 11 ".

See ?”

And also those people who work in shops who say "We used to stock it". Thanks for that - I'll jump into my TARDIS and go back to when you did have it.

There's a road nearby that changed its number back in 2010, and the sign saying "(new number) formerly (old number)".

Also: people who say that about games that have yet to be released.
