    I could fill this thread with things my lovely wife does that puzzle / infuriate me. "We need to stockpile food for no deal brexit" followed by a smug statement that I won't be wanting any of her pasta and corned beef when it goes **** up.

    She's got me to sign up for the "nextdoor" app. Sounds like some of the content may be fun to read - in a watching idiots get confused kind of way.

    There's some good ones among the recommend a plumber, builder, window cleaner guff;

    "Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep cats pooing in my garden. " - Freudian slip?

    "We have 16 fish that need a home"

    And thank God I've joined or I'd surely have fallen for the council tax refund scam.

    I'm on my local area Facebook page as well. Some little snippets from this evening:

    "Getting ridiculous down here now hold up as noone can move" comment on a bit of traffic

    "Mud at the moor car park in berko!" complete with pictures of muddy shoes

    "I know its asked alot but lost orignal post. Ive rung 2 builders in tring last week and this week left voicemail but havent heard thring .could this be because they think job too small ?any builders on here doing free quotes thT would contCt me please or any reccomendations"

    And to finish, a random rant...

    "
    To the elderly lady on the 500 bus to tring ... you are one very small minded, rude and arrogant woman. Moaning at me for being on the bus with my pram containing my 12 week old baby. Because apparently i should have waited for the next bus as the space i used was for a disabled person which appareny makes me rude and "these youngsters dont give a dam" .... well lets put this straight ...

    1. I had every right to use the bus with my pram
    2. I had already waited for a bus for over half an hour .. 500 are few and far between as it is
    3. The space i used wasn't being used by a disabled person and had one got on and needed it i would of happily given up the space despite being disabled myself (I had neuroendocrine cancer of the lung which had to be removed leaving me with one lung and quite breathless to the point i cant walk very far hence why sometimes i use the bus)

    Lastly ... Don't lable anyone who is younger than you as rude and certainly not before looking in a mirror and checking out your own attitude !!!!

    I simple got on a bus done my journey and then got off ... I didnt get in your way or affect you and to be honest it wasnt any of your business ....

    Good day to you"

    Whilst I've not had it inflicted on me, there are 2 problems with this program:

    1. It is a drama made by ITV, who seem to have the ability to turn story into badly acted, turgid TV
    2. Super luvvie, "hey everyone look at me, I'm an ordinary working class girl, honest", Sheridan Smith is in it

    The levels of retardation on these groups is out of this world. It's worrying that you live in proximity to these people and most of it is people being outraged over trivia.

    You could group people into a handful of different types, my least favourite being the ones who respond to posts about anti social behaviour with comments like "It's just people having fun", "I bet your fun at parties" (your deliberately spelt wrong there) or the classic "get a life". The irony being that if someone was blaring music out next door to them or setting off fireworks at their house, they'd come flying out in their ugg boots and dressing gown, screaming at them to shut up / clear off followed by threats of violence.

    The Leighton Buzzard one I'm in is anonymous, so I took to submitting made up local information. My finest moment was when my post saying Waitrose was closing and would be replaced by Farm Foods was published. It clocked up over 100 replies and had people ringing Waitrose head office to find out why and when this was happening.

  11. I've had it a few times now. Started in my mid 30s.

    I'm generally good around diet, alcohol aside, and pineapple juice, vitamin c and the occasional celery seed tea usually keep it at bay, but a few too many takeaways recently and it always pops up after too many takeaways!!!

    I've learnt to recognise the early signs so generally catch it early and a few Anadin Extra usually fend it off with just a day or 2 of mild irritation but it caught me unaware this time. Not the worst case I've had but it's close!

    Agree that the local community/ranting social media pages are a nightmare. However, I have found the existence of some community groups very useful recently - in particular, the parenting ones. Although I don't post on them myself, it has been of great comfort to be able to read others' experiences with their teenagers while we are going through a rather tortuous time with our 15 year old and the crowd she's attached herself to out of school - especially since, with it all happening so fast, my "real life" friends' children - although going through their own teenage stuff - are not quite in the same league. It's a relief to read the testomonies of those who've come through the other side.

    Hey Happy, I'm sure it'll all turn out OK once the hormones calm their sh*t down somewhat. My own 17 year old daughter has taught me single handedly to bite my lip hard when all I want to do is push her out of the car whilst moving, (and I was one of those slating Liam Neeson)! I also use Facebook for certain groups that I'm sure would also get hammered on here, so yes, it has it's uses for sure.

    She's ******* cancer.
    I watched the first episode of that cleaning programme, because I hate her so much that I have a morbid fascination with her.

    Ever since she was in To Pints of Lager Now!! and was utterly dreadful at acting, I've been amazed at how she's become something of a darling of awards and so forth.

    15 minutes of the utterly lamentable cleaning/gambling drama was enough to make me realise that she's still terrible and I hate her.

    "accident on the M25. Closed at Junction 18."

    cue 30 huns "I hope every 1 is OK xx"
    "hope no body hurt 2 bad xx"

    What does it matter what you hope? They're either having their dismembered corpse cut from a charred shell of a car, or they're fine. Your best wishes are completely ******* irrelevant, apart from to virtue signal that you somehow care about people you don't know even exist.

    God, these pages about local community groups are a form of therapy. It's why I love this forum so much. This is the last bastion of sanity on social media.

    Imagine if this didn't exist and we were all just members of Enjoy the game? That place is a ******* asylum

    I liked her in two pints.
    Had a crush on her. Must have been a phase. She hasn’t aged well and is a bit itv trash now I’d agree to that

    Just because you want to stick your old boy in her doesn't mean she's got any value as an actress or human being.

    Here’s another example the incorrect use of words by the thickies of Britain:

    Where the rest of that pizza you fat *****?

    Oh, sorry, I thought you’d finished, I et it......

    What? I et it?

    You’ve just made three single syllable noises in succession that have no meaning. You sound like a Neanderthal. Surely you meant to say ‘sorry I’m such a greedy fat ****, I’ve eaten it’

    It’s no wonder that the country’s IQ is dropping so quickly, just look at the educators we have on TV, radio and You Tube.

    I say we need more Stephen Fry and less Sheridan Smith before communication regresses to ugs and ogs.

    Mancs, the only one’s I hear with any regularity are on Corrie. Apart from the whine of their accents, I hate the way they are trying to turn the word ‘out’ into a homonym.

    ‘I’m popping out, d’ya want out in Lidl’s?’

    No thank you, I don’t wish to be out, or outed, in Lidl’s. I should probably tell my parents first, in private. Ta for the thought though hun xx.

    In a similar vein, it annoys me when people use the "reply all" button to thank someone on email. For example, someone hosts a coffee morning at their house for school mums of their child's year group. Very nice of them and, yes, I send them an email thanking them afterwards. But I then get a torrent of emails in my Inbox from people who've decided to use "Reply All" to send a thank you. There is no possible reason for doing this, unless you want everyone to see what a "good egg" you are for saying thank you. Grow up......hun xx
