You're making me laugh, itsy just what I need.

Tempting, but a firm 'would you please remove your feet so I can sit down' usually works.

It's going to end in tears, isn't it.

Obviously one of SAD's fans Tweeting: Kxxxxxxx Hxxxxx ‏@JxxxZxDxxx · 19h

@LxxxMxxxxWxxx28 @Lxxxxxxx_C1102 @JxxxZxDxxx She does a bit...but I mean as Liz Taylor looks now, rotting, 6ft under🙊 Old Liz loved the🍷too😆

Hopefully laughter if this keeps up, dome

Some of these kids now have no respect and I don't take the bus often but when I do there is inevitably some @rsehole sitting with a messenger bag or a large handbag on the aisle seat and you have to ask them to please move it in order to sit down

Good, I Iike making people laugh..for the right reasons of course. Shame it's at the expense of Jack, but hey ho I'm sure he's big enough and ugl.....I'm sure he can take it!Sorry, Jack, couldn't resist. I could just see you getting crosser and crosser with the bench space intruder and his sandwiches and then he produced a flask...well.......
Are they not banned in public spaces yet?

That would be fine if there was limited seating available
but when there isn't , if someone is ablebodied and has no real reason other than to be awkward, they should go somewhere else

I gladly give up my seat on a bus for anyone who looks of ill health or is elderly , that's a given, but a**holes with total lack of awareness, ,.................no. They can clear off.

i am still a little bit cross about it
People do have eyes, people should be aware of their surroundings and have some frickin commonsense, i can't be alone in this. He was a bench space intruder yes,

Banned ? Sandwiches or flasks ?
hell no, they light mini fires here and bring bbqs over to have burgers in the park.
Cheeky g*ts.

haha rotting Liz Taylor , terrible, but

I don't look like either. To the outside world I look and appear a picture of health,

Maybe the guy who sat down is like me and can't sit in the sun.

Stop being such a misery Jack.

they do sell out of the really reduced ones , so i've thought about that

i have reallocated the job now and someone is passing Argos (luckily for me) and will pick it up for me, just arranged. Got out of that one,phew.
I still have the old one, so cup of tea still possible.

It's a PUBLIC park Jack, not somewhere for just you.

but there was ANOTHER frickin EMPTY bench not that far away that wasn't in the sun either dome - like 40 paces, he could have got the hint , i was sat in the MIDDLE of the bench, making it VERY CLEAR he was not welcome. He was a twerp, i was in the right, he ruined my sit down. It's boiling here today, everyone's in shorts and vest top things and all i wanted was a bit of PEACE

for that moment in time, i was nearest it ,
it was MY BENCH for a bit
I looked around and there was about 8 benches around, each with like one person on each , very happily enjoying themselves

So you are a selfish bench sitter.

On the bus they just seem to put their messenger bags or handbags on the seat purely to stop someone else sitting on it. Grrrrrrrrr!!!

i sat on a bus once about the middle and 2 teenage schoolgirls who were sat at the very back starting throwing 2pence pieces at me , i mean WTF ? when one hit me on the head i turned and gave them 'a look', and they laughed and carried on throwing them , i couldn't understand the stupidity of them. Imagine that ? I told them to stop verbally, because the LOOK didn't work, stupid bad mannered idiots, what's wrong with some people, dragged up ?

Is your name on it, jack? I'm kidding, jack, I know the feeling!
You could have loads up here today p*ssing rain no one on any benches
All you need is a nice big golf umbrella and a wetsuit!

oh people get very possessive over their space ,
I heard one woman last week who went to her car that was parked opposite her house in the street and she noticed a car was waiting for her to drive off so they could take her parking space - she tapped on their window and told them she wasn't going to be gone for long and wanted to return and park back in that space because it was hers and outside her house ! It wasn't HERS, but she felt she had the right to do that , so funny. (no not pot kettle, because there weren't any other spaces in the street the driver could have parked who was wanting to use her space)

'Boiling' you say, in the summer. Are you sure you're in England?

I have visions of a brass plaque engraved
'Bench for the sole use of Jack and no one else'.

that is a big no no if there's not enough empty seats
I've stood and said CAN YOU MOVE YOUR BAG PLEEEEEEEEEEASE ,
they usually do.

The one thing that really gets my goat is bad mannered kids, goodness knows what kind of parents some of them have. I know one or two with perfectly respectable parents but the parents don't tell them off when they are in the wrong as they don't believe in holding them back when they grow up ???

I am not complaining
but he had an ALTERNATIVE BENCH NOT IN THE SUN right infront of his frickin face
that's why i tutted and got cross.
