Little things that irritate you

[sion]

When food comes in separate sealed packing but with one best before date. Certain family members always seem to open the side with the best before date and then throw away the packaging leaving me with bacon in the fridge with no known best before date and same detail for the beagles in the cupboard! Ah it's the little things that annoy me

My 2 year old daughter.

She is my second child.

My first who is now 8, grew up without any "terrible twos" syndrome, and had a rather peacful fatherhood.

Now my second is the offspring of Damien. Messy hands on the walls, trashing everything in sight, can't talk but can understand evey word said. Wont go to bed, takes her nappy off after putting one on her, screams if either Mummy or Daddy leaves the room, etc etc.

And my Mrs wants a third.

I might just cash my pension in early and head to Columbia

We said more than a few times that if our first child had been like the second we would have stopped at one. First one was no real trouble, apart from the usual new parent fears and panics. Second one entered the terrible twos just before his second birthday, 21 in August and sometimes I think he never left the terrible twos.

Well I would if only I knew if they were in date or not!

I'm currently trying to sort out car insurance, my current insurer sent me a renewal that had gone up £200 a couple of weeks ago as it runs out at the end of next week. They are now emailing an calling at least once a day to renew, this despite me telling them each time they call that I have quotes that are £200 cheaper and I am still examining options but unless they cut their price to match it won't be them.

Saying that, using the comparison websites I have several quotes that as soon as you click through the price goes up before I start selecting any add-ons.

^^^ Hampshire, you too mate?

No matter if cbeebies is on or a trip out, the little rat will do as she pleases and does stuff adults would do, the annoying adults, like giving you an empty beaker to fill for them, or raiding the freezer for another ice lolly, or hiding stuff that isnt theirs, the list goes on. A two year old is an adult with no rules that cant talk yet.

How lucky they are not having to go out to work the fields these days. I will remind her that when she can speak. The runt. But love her still

Hit it, hard and often. Kids learn through pain, don't listen to all the simpering twats with their soppy "naughty step" bollox. Give her a good twatting, it makes her learn and also gives you an outlet for your frustrations, a win win all round.......

Empty seats at the Etihad.

City are in dreamland compared to 10-15yrs ago, yet can't fill 45k stadium.

The London Marathon - if it is the f'in London Marathon why do we have to have it in the East End all the time?

It's time for a change - have it round Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea and Fulham, ending up right out side No 1 The Mall.

That way they could put up with the filth left on the floor, the people pissing and ****ting in public (and in people's gardens), the drunks who start drinking at 9 am in the morning and who are pissed before the race has started, being trapped in your flat unable to use your car or walk anywhere, the tourists who wander about lost blocking the pavement. the crush on the DLR/Tubes in the area, being unable to eat out in any place within a 3 mile radius of the run, the constant white noise of the crowd and the pubs with outside sound systems all turned up to 10, the drunks who hang about and get agressive after the event has well ended, and the helicopters flying overhead all times of the day or night.

But they won't will they!

[delbert]

That's a good point mate, they should jazz up the route a bit and involve other parts of London.......

I hear ya!
I live in Kidbrooke which means the roads around here are shut from about 7 in the morning as the start is about 5 mins away.
We have the helicopters about that time, or just a bit later.
The number of f**kwits who park all over the place irrespective of it meaning the road goes down to one lane.
About time they moved it elsewhere.

I had the same from a comparison site. Compared a few quotes on a bike I was thinking of getting a while back. Soon after my mobile would ring on the hour every hour to the point where it was bordering on harassment. I lost it a couple of times with them and then just changed my mobile number on the comparison website. Problem solved. Did numerous quotes since and not a peep on the mobile. Usually you can bargain down from the quotes on the site anyway if you ring direct. The key to insurance quotes is to negotiate, never pay the quoted price.

Yes thats a good point, my issue with current insurers is their refusal to negotiate.

Anti Marathon Muppets - NIBMY's = I've only had the marathon in the area which I live for 30+ years - it's only fair that we "share the fun" with other parts of London. Fair play and all that
