    The dreadful lack of parking at Watford General.
    Yesterday I was hoping to bring my Mother home and begin her last few months with us.
    I had never before attempted to park at the hospital,using W Herts and walking,stopping to have a chat with GT each time!
    However,as I thought she maybe discharged I drove direct to WG.
    Terrible. I asked many staff and they all expressed their frustration and said they often struggled to park. A s if they needed any other difficulties in their profession.
    After fifteen minutes I returned to W Herts and walked.
    My Mother remains whilst the care package is determined.

    Plagiarism, which seems to happen a lot on this forum.

    When people say ‘have a safe flight’

    I get the sentiment, but it’s an utterly meaningless and pointless statement.

    You can say ‘have a safe drive’ because the person doing the driving has control over their actions and that statement might just make them drive safer.

    But you have no control over having a safe flight and the alternative is crashing to your death, so it should go without saying really.

    Working as a travel rep overseas we were told never to use safe flight or safe journey home when doing transfer speech on coach

    As a nervous flyer, I hate it when people say this to me - all it does is remind the irrational part of my brain that there's a possibility that it won't be safe.

    People getting married on a weekday. I've been invited to three weddings next summer, one on a Monday and two on Fridays. **** off!

    Funnily enough I’ve got two so far next year, both on a Thursday! That means four days off work and I only get 20 + bank holidays. They’re close friends but it takes the piss that I need to use nearly 25% of my annual leave just for their bloody weddings.

  14. Unfortunately the cost of getting married on a weekend is becoming so unaffordable that some people's only way to get a venue they love at an affordable price is a week day.

    Amanda Holden. Can't stand the woman. False plastic nature, false plastic face. And not sure what she has ever done to be judging other people's "talents".

    The ones I hate the most are the ones who get married abroad and expect people to pay to come to their wedding. When Thomas Cook went bust, someone said to me about feeling sorry for the people who had booked weddings abroad - I thought "**** 'em."

    Ok there are some people who are going back to their roots or something to be close to part of family, but often it's just some stupid sense of feeling special, to get married in some sausage factory resort where all your guests have to fork out £3000 per head to be there and rain down adulation on you.

    Just hire out a golf club like I did and lay on a decent buffet you scumbags!

    Off to Portugal next summer for a wedding the whole family are invited to. £3500 for a place I wasn't really bothered about visiting

    I mean, you could just say “I don’t want to spend 3500 quid” and not go.

    Bunch of my family couldn’t make my wedding due to finances or holiday issues. I didn’t take it personally. It’s not realistic to expect people to pay thousands to attend a wedding.

    Cool story bro!

    Was it a putter, an iron, a wood, a driver or a hybrid?

    The only places that I've seen who hire out single clubs are crazy golf courses or putting greens. Was this the honeymoon?

    In a similar vein, can I add Hen and Stag dos abroad to the list? Showing my age here, but I got married 17 years ago. Then, generally, hen and stag nights were just that - nights out, possibly staying away for that night. Now, there seems to be a trend for Hen and Stag holidays. So, you not only expect your wedding guests to stump up for the wedding itself, but now some are also expected to pay for - & use up their holiday for - a trip abroad in your honour and of your choosing. Sorry, but I find this utterly selfish and self absorbed.

    My wifes sister arranged her wedding in New Zealand between xmas and new year (he was a kiwi to be fair) and we said sorry, not going. However other family members went. She left him a month before the marriage and nobody was able to get a refund on their flights/accomodation. So they all went anyway without her.

    All those memes about being ‘true to yourself’ and the never ending corporate and social shift towards mindfulness, being the best, don’t worry about others, just take care of you, being the number 1, was always going to end up with everyone being a bunch of selfish knobs.

    I agree, but you can see the advantages when compared with "old style" that often ended with the would-be groom being tied naked to a lamp post in Lower High Street.

    Not really - now they're just tied to a lamp post abroad.

    She has a daughter in the same class as my son at school and it seems as though most her class mates and families are going so it will probably be ok, I think!!

    Yes that’s pretty much now the norm. It’s also now seemingly the norm to also have a UK stag (for the older relatives and those that can’t make the overseas one) and often a work stag. Everyone I know that got married this year certainly did. A went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago that was a three day wedding, he had an overseas stag and a uk stag, so I essentially dedicated around 8 days of my life to him getting married!

    I have to admit though being in my late thirties I don’t actually mind the fact that stags are now always overseas. It’s an excuse to get away with your mates when you otherwise almost certainly wouldn’t. I’ve got two for next year, and tend to have at least one every year.

    The Watford ring road with the new light phases. A f*cking disgrace.

    I tried to navigate it well after kick off, (I don't give WFC my money anymore), and had to give up. God only knows what it was like pre and post match.

    Is that what it was? The approach from the M1 took way longer than normal today. Is the whole ring road affected?

    I hate the way the downstairs office treat the shared loos.

    They'll for some reason remove a half used loo roll from the holder and put it on the shelf behind.
    Or they'll start the spare loo roll sitting on the shelf, despite there being a good few visits left on the old roll on the holder which they'll leave untouched.
    Or they'll finish the roll on the holder, and start the spare on the shelf whilst leaving the empty roll on the holder and a semi unravelled started roll on the shelf

    They'll try the door when you're in there even though it clearly say engaged next to the handle.
    They'll try the door again just in case their last try wasn't correct or you've mysteriously flushed yourself away in the previous 5 seconds.
    They'll open the window and leave that window open at the end of the day which means that the door blows open and sets the alarm off when muggins here is the emergency contact in the middle of the night.

    They'll never, ever, without fail use the loo brush when they've pebble dashed the place.
