When you are looking to find some more vinyl to buy and you search under the category "Rock and Roll" and find the likes of the bloody Beatles and Beach Boys listed......

I've thought I would never see anything of the sort up here , never , we all know each other but then I heard poor Mrs Hathaway from Kyle of Lochalsh had been attacked in her own home , an elderly widow who had been a larger than life character in her younger days , I knew her very well from my ferry days and worked with two of her children - she never got over it and passed away soon after - turns out it was some ' druggie ' who had been re-located to Kyle . I'd put some of them on a rock somewhere in the Minch and let them get on with it .

Poppy fascism.

It seems to be getting worse each year, and frankly is ruining what the poppy appeal is supposed to be about.

Hint - it's nothing to do with nationalism.

It's social media fascism mate. Twitter and FB should be avoided at all costs.

Having a **** two hands in use (looking at kumb) and always seeming to direct my piss unknowingly through the gap between the toilet seat and rim so when going to wipe finding a big puddle of piss on the floor maybe I have a oddly shaped fallous which causes this anomaly ?

People who talk to babies and animals like they are going to answer. 'What's your name?' 'Where have you been?' 'Can you say...'.

It's cos it's so small, so doesn't point downwards when sitting.

Talking to babies like they are adults is the best way to get them to learn and understand what you are saying. Now I'm not saying give them an in depth analysis of a topic of choice, but simple sentences with small words is much, much better than the baby talk a lot of people do.

This reminds me of a pet hate of mine - people who turn normal words into babyish words because they're talking to a toddler/baby. The mrs sis in law did this all the time. "Is the baby drinking his milky?" It's ****ing milk you cretin.

Yes, that does sound particularly stoopid.
I suppose at least she didn't follow milky with wilky..

Trees too! Very slow to reply though. Problem is by the time they get round to answering most people don't have the patience to wait and have left so the tree doesn't bother!

I am extremely guilty of treating my dog like he is my child. He is a lot more than just a dog to me and I am all he has and at one point he was all I had so I like to make sure he's a happy boy :)

Back on topic........this bloody weather irritates the hell out of me.

People parking on double yellows at my local shop. They are clearly there for a reason, because it is a pain if everyone parks up to get round them all with oncoming traffic. The lines have even been re-done along with the road but people are back to just parking on them. There is no enforcement so they might as well have not bothered with it all. The lazy ****ers can't even be bothered to park in front of the 'empty' shop that is next door.

^^^^ Get this issue every day at work. Beckenham and Penge High Streets are the worst. People just parking where the hell they like, both sides of the road and a parking warden not seen for love nor money, and nobody with an ounce of sense prepared to let a 40ft rigid vehicle through...

Funnily enough, I was sat in a Costa yesterday morning on a narrow sidestreet where a lorry got stuck rounding a corner because some throbber in a van had parked up on a yellow line and buggered off for half an hour.

It was amusing enough as a bystander but I'm sure less humourous for the people stuck behind the lorry.
