When we had our fist child we thought we'd get the full sky package, no channel barred - as we would be in a hell of a lot more. I later upgraded to HD plus. Every night is the same story, endless channels and we're watching fifteen year old comedy shows and the odd new release. Nothing to watch night after night! Theres just endless reality shows about truckers, bounty hunters, fishermen, tat traders, chefs and mainly idiots from the American south. Extreme car booters is probably the next show!

The ideal is simple, get a load of 'celebrities' from various reality shows, contest shows etc etc, line them up and have them see who can catch a .38 in their teeth.

I'd pay good money for it, who's with me?
I'd certainly feel I was getting my money's worth if this were to become a reality show.

My old nan, god bless her, used to have this habit of keeping all the important stuff in safe places around the house. 'they'll never find it there!' I think was the train of thought. However when the bills needed paying, getting nan to remember where the important stuff was, was a somewhat testing and time consuming excersise. It was like a bad episode of challenge annika.
Anyways, many years on and it seems I've inherited nan's david copperfield like ability to make things literally disappear.
If anyone knows where I've put the last 3 gravestone bases, please let me know, I've looked everywhere and I'm so pissed off I'm contemplating watching NSNA, yep it's got that bad.
You have to scan your own items, okay, can do that, but there's this awful snotty female voice telling you what to do, it gets my goat. Then, when it can't scan some discounted food item, it asks you wait for assistance, while you feel like a criminal. It has the same awful phrasing each time, just drives me nuts. Berates you for not putting an item where it should be, or do you need a plastic bag? Yes love, to put over your head.
Ditto with the bus service around London, announcing every stop. Okay on a night bus, or if someone blind requests it, but not all the time. It just grates.
Car park spaces. They need to be bigger. Cars get bigger every time a new model comes out. Just look at the VW Golf, BMW 3 series, Mini - everything in fact. These everyday cars are a third bigger than they were twenty or so years ago. Plus everyone seems to have a 4x4, a people carrier, estate or with VAT at 20% double cab pick- up trucks are everywhere! They're twenty feet long! And seven feet wide! Even my wife's modern mini has a wheel almost on both white lines in most car parks. You pay a lot of money and just know your car is going to get dented, or that you'll never fold yourself in half enough to get back in!

Just looked through the news and 2 stories came to view, 1 about a pub not serving anyone in uniform and another about a guy charged with threatening to blow up robin hood airport.
First the pub. Put simply, a soldier's funeral is being held and during rehearsals the squaddies who are pall bearers (one of which is the brother of the deceased) go into a nearby pub to have a break and a light drink to settle nerves. They're refused service cos they're all in fatigues.
Then the airport. Some clown gets let down by robin hood airport and spouts on twitter that if they "don't sort their **** out" they will "blow the place sky high".
Really people, in this day and age does no one have any common sense at all?!
The lads are grieving, should I a) offer a free round? give them a quiet area of the pub or c) bar them?
The airport pissed me off, in this day and age if terrorism, what's the best idea? I know! I'll threaten to blow it up!
Seriously?! How the hell do these people manage to get by in life? Do they go through life being complete knobs totally unaware if their daft action, or have they go a few wires loose resulting in them thinking there's nothing wrong with threatening to blow people up?
Honestly I've no idea how or why these people survive.
The guy twittering about the airport should be fined as a deterrent to others and the barman in the pub needs to publicly apologise and the bar change it's policy.
Okay minigeff but the soldiers being barred is a wind-up story probably; the person who refused them wouldn't have known the circumstances, ie it's a funeral, I doubt they'd have informed her. It's the kind of story to get your blood boiling, that's the story papers like.
I agree about the tweet about blowing the airport up.
Don't know if I'm getting old But.
I think the title for the latest Horror Film
"Chernobyl Diaries "
Is in very Bad taste, I know several people who do great work for
various charities connected with the disaster, and they don't like
it either.

BBC HD only showing short amounts of Wimbledon.... and instead, just when it's getting interesting 'Raiders of the lost arc'.... are you kidding me ?:)
I pay extra for HD.... and I can't believe that the BBC decide to show a movie from 1981 - when one of the few sporting events I like is on.... Grrrrrrr.

I got mad at a little kid the other day. Walking around a mall and this kid came out of a store riding her Razor scooter. We came closing to colliding. I told her to watch it then went on to tell her she shouldn't be riding that thing indoors. Did I over react? Or was I well within my right to tell her what I did. I didn't yell at her, but she could tell I was a little bit upset.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
Those flyers people put under your windscreen wipers. We have more than a few issues. The first being - let me see you actually touching my car and I WILL break some of your bones. The second thing, is the flyer in question was put on before it rained. And then it dried out in the sporadic sun. Now I have paper mâché on my windscreen. And after its been cleared away, I have the entire advert imprinted on the glass in ink.

A very interesting thing I learned about the above practice. Not sure if it's true everywhere, but around me it's actually illegal to put flyers under the windshield. I found this out while getting a haircut from my barber. She had just opened her new shop and her son was putting flyers on cars. A cop told her not have her son put the flyers under the wipers on a windshield. It had something to do with obstructing the view for the driver. If the driver was involved in an accident and the flyer was under the wiper blade, the driver could sue the owner of company the flyer belongs to and claim it was obstructing their view. Or something like that. The cop suggested putting one the side window with a piece of tape.

Is it safe to conclude then that at times, Andy Murray has no balls?
Telephone calls that are answerphone messages for compensation, PPI claims or other slimy companies touting their services. These used up my phone's memory, then when my son was sick at nursary today, they couldn't leave a message and I was oblivious to the situation. Just came home, deleted all the crap and started doing paperwork... X-(

I decided the other day to join up to the rpf in order to meet new mates, see what was going etc etc. What I didn't realise is that new members have to have their hands held at all times, with every post being checked by a member of the admin team. This also seems to apply to private messages.
I've pm'd the admin team, but nothing, nada, zip, zilch, sweet bugger all.
The worst bit is that I have to make 20 posts and wait 45 days before getting upgraded to the level of membership where you're free to go play without ya minder holding the reigns. So I'm to wait 45 days plus when I decide to post (which might not be every day) I have to wait around 24hrs to get my posts checked out. Oh and my second post never made it, and I never was told why.
So at the moment, I can't post, I can't send pm's, I can't buy anything cos by the time my communications get checked, the stuff has sold, I can't sell anything as a noob, and no one answers my emails to the admin.
