    Automatic hand dryers in pubs, restaurants etc. 

    If it's not a Dyson airblade or something of similar quality, don't bother installing it as everyone still walks out with wet hands...

    That's if they wash them.

    As far as I know you needn't be Paddy Hopkirk to shop in Asda, so why do so many drivers perform a dramatic rally turn to enter their car park in Bexleyheath?
    Don't ever go to Tesco's Woolwich car park then.  It is the wacky races down there.

    But very often there are three urinals, two basins and one hand dryer. Surely this assumes that only two thirds of people wash their hands, and only half of those bother drying them.

    The Orwellian use of the word 'progress' to justify the decline and deterioration in standards of so many aspects of life.

    That's a proper world weary post Len, I feel you pain.

    Bourbons and so-called 'Nice' biscuits tainting the decent biscuits in the barrel with their overbearing flavours.

    Ginger nuts are the worst offenders.

    Restaurants that charge 12.5% service charge - which you only realise when you get the bill.  No matter how good it was - I ain't coming back

    Not a general thing but the new Ketchup advert with Ed Sheeran is annoying when he TAPS THE SIDE OF THE CHUFFING BOTTLE like a fish flapping away trying to get back in the water and ketchup should go everywhere except on the plate ( digitally modified to show ketchup landing on the plate of course ). He can play 4 or 5 different instruments at once but can’t get sauce out of a bottle.

    Radio X these days. Almost guaranteed to hear Catfish and the bottlemen or Sam fender within 5 minutes if you tune in.

    Not saying either are bad but the repetition is tiresome. Tend to listen to Absolute more now as a result where they have the no repeat guarantee.

    I'm jealous. I don't think our combined temps for the year would be much over 42.

    Honestly, there's no escaping it mate. I'm making new shutters for our place so the sun's beating down through the windows all day.

    The last useable bit of your bottom? There's piles and there's piles!

    Bottoms aren't usable in anyway when the farmers have struck

    Circle line trains. Twice today (there & back) I waited for almost 10 mins for a circle line train where 2 district line & 3 metropolitan line ones came & went. Ffs !!  I used to think the underground was the envy of the world. Not any more.

    That's normal. Circle line is a poorish service. I avoid if I can.

    Been waiting on a power pack for our reclining chair for 2 months now. Got a call to day the part was in, changed my plans to collect and when I got it home it was the wrong bloody part. Even more annoying was that it broke 2 weeks after the guarantee ran out.

    Decided to do some gardening and replaced the wire in my strimmer.

    I hadn’t put it in properly and when I went to use it, the wire shot out and strimmed my fucking shin. 

    Fuck the garden, fuck the chair, I’m having a beer.

    Bloody roll on deodorant that doesn't come in a clear container. You never know when it is going to run out.
