Office brown nosers.
Got one in our place, a 6ft plus rugby player in his 40's that turns into the back end of a pantomime horse the moment the boss walks in.
Poor bloke barely makes it into the building before his backside starts getting kissed.
Embarrassing to say the least.

The daughter of a late friend is getting **** and hassle from an ex-boyfriend that is bullying her, intimidating her, and has also been subject to monitoring by CCTV that has been installed outside his mates house down the road and his pointing to her front door- and police, council, and every other authority you can think of doing absolutely f*** all about it.

It's genuinely worrying behaviour and he's getting away with it.

The coward wouldn't have dared do it if her old man were still alive.

Been done, gone in one ear and out the other.

They ain't the sort to start doing the physical stuff.

Pubs that can’t get their acts together. I watched the FA Cup Final in Liverpool as I went to a gig at The Cavern that evening. They had three beers off, the one lager took forever to pour, no change in the till and then they switched the telly on my table to racing. There were a group of boisterous men from somewhere like Leeds screaming at the tv when we were trying to watch the match. Thankfully they all left before I did.

The Morrisons advert.
I'm sure they all thought they were really clever trying to get Morrisons to rhyme with more reasons. It doesn't scan, not even close. It's grating and an affront to the ears.
Stop it.

When you've been bitten, these actually work, and rather well too.

I was as skeptical as anyone but in a WTF moment bought one. I was surprised to say the very least. It doesn't hurt despite zapping you with about 5000 volts, requires just a minute or two to take effect and lasts for an hour or more, then just rezap yourself.

In case I haven't made myself clear, they really do work.

Went to bed early last night in preparation for my planned long birthday walk in the Dark Peak today. Instead I woke up to a virus, fever, and a banging headache. Oh well.
