    Farmers. Wandering for a few hours round idyllic countryside today, to see endless pieces of rusted, very abandoned farm equipment. Threshers, drillers, trailers even the odd 1960's tractor. So it's fine for these farmers to dump their useless metalwork all over the shop but once, just once, I abandon an old Fiesta by the bandstand in Greenwich Park, and all I get is letters, threats of legal action, summonses, the whole shebang. It's just not right.
    That annoys me!

    so its you that abandons old grot mags in parks then?
    How the internet has killed of the teenage joy of finding a porn mag in a park.
    Found two in a bin in Ladywell Fields last week. Actually the missus spotted them but I advised not to try to open them as the pages might be stuck together with manglue.
    I used to work with a bloke who was an absolute magnet for finding grot. We'd be on a job, he'd disappear into a hedge and come out with smut. Never known anyone hit the jackpot quite like that or have such a radar for it

    Mate we were driving through the Alps on Thursday, and there was 15 of them as the sun was setting the moon coming up trying to over take us on bends whilst we were behind a bus, one of the most ridiculous and terrifying driving experience of my life

    You should have had a little doze until it was all over mate... :smiley:

    Did you ever see the Dave Gorman show where 'his mate' had a load of Charlie Vaughn to dispose of? Even when it had been through a shredder you could tell exactly what sort of material it was.

    The sort of modern day equivalent would just be to go through people's internet search history on their mobiles. A sort of virtual bush or hedge if you like. Actually you could probably type virtual bush into Google, might try that

    People that are completely oblivious to others around around them. I've decided that there is nothing more annoying that the human race.

    When you walking behind someone on the far right of the pavement... You cant go round them on the right hand side because there is a wall there so your forced to try and go past them on the left... As you almost get level with them, they cut across you and cross the road... For fucks sake, if you wanted to cross the road (on your left) why the fuck did you not just walk on the left meaning that I could simply walk past on the other side and not get cut up!!

    The incredible moronic spelling abilities of those who comment upon Charlton's official Facebook posts.

    The number of people who can't spell 'his' and instead write 'hes' is staggering.

    When someone has next to no computer skills, can't recognise basic icons, doesn't know the difference between a left-click and a right-click, has a typing speed of three characters per minute and believes that the way to use a search engine is to type in some sort of Ask-Jeeves style question from the early nineties. You have to instruct them, work with them, or perhaps wait whilst they find out certain information, all the time sitting there desperately trying not to snatch the mouse from their hand whilst screaming that they should never use anything more advanced than a Leap Pad ever again.

    Yes you can, I often get on a bus with British money in my pocket.

    You can't pay your fare with it because its Oyster cards only.

    Virgin Trains.

    Cancel all trains on west line for 48 hours when network rail strike is "only" scheduled for 24 hours from 5pm on Monday.

    Wouldn't even confirm if trains would run if strike was cancelled. Arseholes.

    Train strike being called off just after I have cancelled my weekend hotel reservation in Liverpool.

    Why the people who built my house decided to use the front garden as a skip before then throwing some earth over it.

    Just dug down about a foot across one of the flower beds in it. It was like the freekin' Cretaceous period down there.

    I reckon you can blame landfill tax for that. It was always foreseeable that builders would engage in that sort of tax avoidance at your expense. Its a reason why so much crap gets fly-tipped too. Think that Gordon Brown was the Chancellor who had that bright idea.
