Re: Little things that irritate you
I can't remember whether you're now in Maidstone, or Canterbury, but you do know that there's a St Pancras <-> Canterbury West service don't you? High-speed link takes less than an hour.Greatest Cockney Rip Off wrote:Southeastern doing engineering work tomorrow which means I can't go to a gig at The Underworld tomorrow unless I want to get in at around 01:00am - which having to get up at 04:30am is just not going to happen.

Yeah I'm in Maidstone but getting the St. Pancras service would mean leaving stupidly early to get back.prophet:marginal wrote:I can't remember whether you're now in Maidstone, or Canterbury, but you do know that there's a St Pancras <-> Canterbury West service don't you?

Drive to Ebbsfleet and pick it up there? Last one back from London is about 11.30pm.Greatest Cockney Rip Off wrote: Yeah I'm in Maidstone but getting the St. Pancras service would mean leaving stupidly early to get back.

I thought about driving to Bromley South but I really wanted to have a beer. Don't think I've been to a gig and not had a beer. The two go hand in hand for meWHU_Del wrote:Drive to Ebbsfleet and pick it up there? Last one back from London is about 11.30pm.

Re: Little things that irritate you
Wondering right now what a bloke who thinks it okay to spit in the face of a 14 year old girl is doing involved in a TV charity football match if I'm honest. Similar Ant and/or Dec who is now flogging bank accounts
Danny Baker and Jo Brand castigated for what was probably little more than poor choices for jokes, yet drink driving and crashing into a car with a kid in or flobbing in a kids face is fine if you're mates with all the right people.

Hearing the same adverts on commercial radio stations, over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over again...
I make a point of never buying that product, just to get my own back.

Re: Little things that irritate you
I was mainly talking about radio ads but yes, there are plenty of tv ones that make me want to go postal, as well.
Radio seems worse I think, because you're not always near enough to mute, fast forward or skip it.
And unlike your eyelids, you can't close your ears!

^ Yes, that's why I posted it. Every ad break yesterday on radio X was that cretin.
They've ruined a great film character now.

i can empathise with you - now i only go all inclusive at 4 or 5 * star gaffes gets rid of the riff raffbigcarpchaser wrote:Just been on hols to Corfu in one of these all inclusive hotels things. The amount of sheer greed, waste and pure selfishness was astounding. I’ve never seen so many grossly obese tattooed up women trying to eat their own body weight in food 3 times a day in one place. Add to that all the Liverpool football shirts on display (mainly warm by Germans oddly enough, really took the shine off a pleasant enough week away.
the amount of people that also left half a drink and just got a new one also pissed me off no end

On the subject of holidays, the amount of people who can`t be bothered to use please and thank you in the native language. How hard is a gracias , obrigado etc Total ignorance.

Don't you know they prefer it if you speak at them in English, using a poor foreign accent.
Re: Little things that irritate you
Had trouble at a toll booth in Spain once, and the person on the intercom answered in English , apparently, according to my kids who still remind me of it when we`re abroad, I started using a Spanish style accent explaining that my "teeeket" wasn`t working! I on the other hand have no recollection of this.

Re: Little things that irritate you
When I was in Portugal and jumped in a taxi, the first thing the cab driver did was apologise to us for his poor English - which in fairness was pretty good and far superior to our Portuguese.badabing wrote:On the subject of holidays, the amount of people who can`t be bothered to use please and thank you in the native language.

Of course we all insisted that the ****er compensate us for his **** linguistic skills by reducing our fair, the lazy selfish prick.
