We live near a subway and we often find abandoned trolley's left there - the local Tesco is a few minutes walk away

I get that too, theres a group I go to at a certain time and for some reason everyone claps and cheers when I come in OK I'm not always very good at timekeeping but still, its not that amazing.

A flipping nightmare when you're using Picasa. When I first started using Picasa you could just turn the photo and hey presto, FB didn't faff with it.

Crying/weeping women with long French manicured nails attempting to wipe away tears with the tip of one finger trying not to smudge their make-up. FFS use a bl**dy tissue and be done with it!!

Driver's that do 40mph or 50mph and more on 30mph roads.

Driver's who don't use indicators.

Adverts.

Some people on here.

I'm sorry to say this - mais c'est vrai - the French annoy me.

We helped them in 2 world wars. But, peut-etre Agincourt, Crecy, Trafalgar and Waterloo are still sore points.

They did invade us - well the Norman French did - made us serfs in our own country and our own language denegrated - but they can still have a go at the anglais - mais non! And as a northerner William the Conquerer did a lot of 'harrowing of the north' laying waste to vast tracts of land up here and killing people.

I've only ever been to Paris once and I'm sorry to say, apart from a couple of older ladies, they were not friendly.

I've also been reading '1,000 Years of Annoying the French' by Stephen Clarke so I'm pretty sure the annoying is on both sides - bien sur!

So called friends that make arrangements to meet, about a week before, so when I turn up and they don't, I ring them, and I am told " oh, we did'nt confirm" ........yes we did the week before ? You only ring or make contact if you have to cancel !

They are clapping because they have realized the plane hasn't crashed, so lucky escape.

Trivago and Expedia showing holiday adverts under their respective names. They're the same bleeding company essentially.

It's the same with washing powder brands advertising 'against each other' when most of them are made by the same two companies, Lever Brothers and Proctor&Gamble.

Any advert or site advertising bingo.

Think fecking bingo.

Shopping tv channels. Waste of bandwidth. Use a high street shop or the internet, if you want to buy stuff. Simples.

The fact I have used the word 'simples'.

This! It's so annoying and seen as a thing now days to have to keep asking if the event is still going to happen. The amount of times Ive had mates forgetting until the day that they can't make it. So it then screws up your day as you will have wasted a day waiting around.

I bought my mum the SBC 4 Piece Collection from QVC when it was on special offer:

I was in my mum's bathroom the other day and I thought I would try some of the Collagen gel on my hand, as you do, and then I read the list of ingredients and it says the gel contains "Hydrolyzed Collagen (Marine)"...which kind of rang a bell:

Today I was looking up stuff and thought I would see if there was any reviews on the product.

Here's "vegan" blogger Georgi Bomb raving about the Collagen Gel:

Then I looked up "Marine Collagen"

Marine collagen appears to be a fibrous protein extracted from the scales or skin of fish

I've got difficult conversation with my coming up

Why can't stupid companies be honest, I'm sure there are people who wouldn't mind applying bits of fish on their face...but unfortunately mum isn't one of them

And what do I do about the "not as vegan as she thinks" blogger

He was out of line, they're usually a bit arsey with you but he was really catty today.
He got further annoyed when I explained to him that I'm not responsible for the amount of jobs out there and how it was unfair to sanction me as I've done everything expected in my claimant commitment.

He may as well have put his fingers in his ears for all he bothered to listen.
You cannot reason with idiots sadly.

Surely no collagen can be vegan?

I'm not sure how trivial it is but this attitude annoys me intensely.

Quel dommage goldberry,
I'm so upset that we annoy you.
We're supposed to be allies now, we'll forget Waterloo and Agincourt, if you'll forget Hastings and Orléans, agreed?
I hate to rain on your parade, but I just shrugged, added some garlic to my escargots, topped up my glass of Chablis, and put Luc Besson's The Messenger, the story of Jeanne d' Arc, on my DVD player, Vive La République!

I think most of the British haven't got a problem these days with the cheese eating surrender monkeys, otherwise we wouldn't have helped build the channel tunnel, which allows (or allowed) even easier access for the French to export immigrants to the UK, passing through, so to speak.

My mother hated the French, as the French resistance shot her father dead during WW2, who was a non-Nazi German soldier. She wouldn't even watch the TV comedy Allo Allo.

Exactly, what is the point in making arrangements and then having keep checking is still going to happen, as far as i am concerned ,its happening unless I hear otherwise

My internet connection. We're meant to be in a newly upgraded super fast area, yet I still can't load a YouTube video beyond the first 12 seconds most of the time...

And totally agree with the posters saying about the 'oh we never confirmed'. Fxck that! If you say you'll be there / do something, then it's agreed to happen unless you pull out!

Keep going" bbclassics" it's tough to break into, and many firms take advantage by hiring interns on expenses only, clearing out after 3 months and then hiring a new batch. Shouldn't be allowed, but it is something to put on your CV. You could even offer to work on that basis to gain experience!
You don't have to sign on for JSA, you can still receive HB and have your NI.
JSA is such a rubbish amount that surely some waiting or bar work on evenings would pay at least the same? It would allow the days free for design interviews.
At least you wouldn't be demoralised by some little jumped up toad at the job centre.

Why are virtually all mobile phone reviews on Youtube done either by Eastern Europeans in their native language or heavily accented Indians?

Progress bars slowly moving over (on phones or computer) when there is obviously no progress (or connection).

I had a former friend who was constantly arranging to meet up with people (usually at the last minute as it was "important" and people would have to change plans to meet her) and then she wouldn't show up. And when people complained about being stood up "Well, it's not my fault, you're the one who agreed to meet me."

I agree with you on this, it seems to me that a lot of Brits pay lip service to this anti-Gallic sentiment, but they don't appear to know why.
I was in a pub recently, and there was rugby on the TV, (I have no interest, and wasn't watching it, but apparently one team was France.)
Someone loudly said, "French bastards!"
I said, "I take it you don't want France to win?"
"No I don't, the bastards!"
"What have they done to upset you?" I said.
"Dunno, but none of us like 'em, do we?"




Calling them cheese eating surrender monkeys seems a bit childish, don't you think?
I've been to France quite a few times, the natives seemed okay to me, no one insulted, or cheated me, the fact that I'm reasonably au fait with the language probably helped, although once they worked out that I was English, a lot of them switched to English, probably just to show that they could.
While I have every sympathy for your mother's loss of your German grandfather, I'm not sure how anyone could differentiate between a German soldier who subscribed to Nazi beliefs, and one who just happened to have been enlisted into the Wehrmacht.
I think that they all wore field grey, and though some displayed SS runes on their collars, I don't think that any of them had insignia that said, I just happen to be here because I was born in Germany and got called up.

Walking along with ear bud headphones in...you're wearing a jacket zipped up but not fully, one or both cables end up 'outside' of the collar and the bud works itself out of your ear....I have to try hard to control my rage at that sometimes.

Thanks. I've applied for bar work a few times before and didn't get anywhere as they usually want someone with previous experience of it. I work at 2 arty places doing voluntary work so have that on my C.V.
I've got a (design) interview on Monday, when I told the advisor he just told me 'I don't want to hear it!', no need to be so rude. I'm being considered for a design job with a new/startup company -the boss told me they'll need to sell some more publications so they can definitely afford to take me on as a graphic designer.
I'm not putting all my hope on that but he said he's interested and will be in touch, I told the advisor and he said 'huh well I don't believe him'. I said 'frankly I don't care what you believe and I'm not interested in your comments on the matter'.

Just annoys me they think they can treat unemployed people like crap, there are some decent people out there who are unemployed and they don't need personal attacks from the 'advisors'.
