Things you hate III

Not only that, but also, I've never had any dealings with them and don't even know who they are.

 

Some old folks like them. My dad refers to his whilst working on his laptop. You might find some aviation fans will actually pay you for them.

Bung them up on ebay, or better still drop them in to your local charity shop. Far better than binning them.

 

An ex-boss of mine was flying home from receiving a "foreign award" and as a gesture of respect was up-graded by the airline. He was sat next to the "disgraceful" Piers Morgan for the flight and during a conversation about universities the Moron helpfully asked "...I suppose you think you're ******* clever?". My ex-boss was returning home with an equivalent of the Nobel Prize (there's no prize in the field he works in).

 

Every year the utility company that does our boiler service, plumbing etc sends a new quote which is stupidly expensive. I sigh, ring them up and say I have found a cheaper quote. They are disappointed and check to se 'if there is something they can do'. There normally is and invariably it involves charging me pretty much the same as last year. But nevertheless, we have to do this little dance and ritual like a pair of amorous seabirds about to cop off.

Of course the whole point of this charade is that I will one day forget or that there are already the too busy or too frail and old to keep up and the company can keep their money for their blessed wealth creators. What a time to be alive folks.

Must have been a bit thick if he saw who was sitting in the seat next to him and didn't ask for the upgrade to be cancelled.

 

Home and contents insurance £2000?

I know Meister towers isn't exactly a castle (not until I've filled the moat anyway) but I've never paid more than £120 and it's about £90 this year.

In some ways I support a moron/can't be arsed tax but it should only be applied to those of able mind and body under the age of 60. It's not like the government and Martin Lewis haven't been banging on about changing your suppliers for the last few years.

 

That's because your house insurance is only third, party fire and theft.

 

Fair point. Limited mileage as well.

 

Actually thinking about this I would have relished the chance to nip into his seat when he went to the loo and soil myself before sliding back and pretending I was asleep.

 

£2000? I did wonder if his house was in area occupied by ISIS.

 

Or none. I encountered at minimal notice on a narrow road a cyclist riding without lights in dark clothing. He was wearing a helmet, though

 

Well, I invented 2018 and am pretty pleased with how well it's turned out

 

Cloves are the devils spice.

Chai Latte, Yuk!

I had no idea that they were ever added to beer but Yuk!

They have no place in wine. Mulled wine is worse than Sangria in my book and to make it worse they heat it all up.

 

Moving to Cumbria?

If so, please keep in touch.

If not, the narrative gets odder yet.

 

I've been going to the same hairdresser for 20 years but in the last 5 or 6 he has become increasingly reserved.

I now feel that I've got to get the conversational ball rolling each time so we always talk about his riding exploits.

No 'chat discount' is proferred.

Tempted just of let it grow.

 

Dare I ask what his riding exploits involve?

 

Happy Xmas you moaning old gits.

 

Dressage!

Aged around 45 he got out of the city, settled in deepest Sussex & immersed himself in horsey stuff.

He still tootles back to town on occasion to tend to the longer standing clientele.

V different to my lifestyle & correspondingly fascinating to probe for 20 mins once in a while.

All the same, maybe I should let my locks flow like the glamorous Battistuta or Pochettino the younger to avoid an overdose.

 

Christmas.
Ps Anyone else forget to turn off their work alarms this morning ?

 

See my last post. And then **** off !

 

Yup. But with two small kids it was not exactly any bother.

 

What evil work is this?

I think Blue Moon has it but as my trousers fit and I dont have a man bun I don't drink it.

 

It’s a concoction being pushed by an evil collaboration between the Dry January movement and Stoptober fundamentalists.

 

People who pronounce the word "chocolate" as "chock-lit".

 

Harry Hill.

 

White BMW drivers tailgating and flashing at me when was doing 70 in fast lane with stream of traffic ahead.,.. some right ***** on the road

 

Taking my foot off the accelerator is my usual response - an action recommended by the police in fact. It doesn't always work but it makes me smile and makes the BMW ****head annoyed. If a gap in the middle lane appears I move over - but only after an exaggerated mirror & signal and a very, very gradual manoeuvre across. If they undertake, a big friendly wave as they pass really makes their day.

 

I did deliberately slow down and when tried to overtake me on the inside sped up again closing off the gap. Satisfying but why some drivers so impatient on a Saturday night

Really, why?

TV Burp was superb. Admittedly he has never done anything else nearly as good.

 

Cheesy and predictable. His gurning, eye popping expressions. Irritating voice. He’s unfunny and I have no idea how this guy gets a gig.

Maybe TV burp is aimed at parents with young kids.

I do admit that I now turn over as soon as it starts.

 

Except that I don’t have kids.

You’re just plain wrong, basically, about TV Burp. But I do agree that his other work is much less good. Still, I think there are far worse comics out there.

 

I assure you that my assessment is spot on.
