Many think they are buying from the Royal Mint.
There are heart rending stories of collectors over a lifetime bequeathing their collections to their widow in the belief it will provide financial security on their death, only for the widow to find she has acquired scrap metal.0 -
If you are a part time a***hole its bad, but if you are a full time a***hole it's not worth mentioning.Dippenhall said:

Being an a***hole is bad, Pretending you are not an a***hole when you are an a***hole is a different bad.Algarveaddick said:

Certain things with modern day football. Press intrusion/Sky/Wembley totally commercialised(should be England & main Cup finals only) /football commentator s telling us what a footballer had for breakfast or how many dumps they've had today, rather than telling us the names of players/passes/patterns of play etc & foremost the scum that is a football agent. They've got us over a barrel & should be regulated... or hung!0

Probably been done before but cinema etiquette.
Is it not possible for people to go two hours without eating or talking?Some tubsters even appeared to be having their evening meal in the auditorium.
The bloke directly opposite in the adjacent aisle had in his possession the biggest bag of crisps I’ve ever seen, packet was about 10 feet tall. Film was a good 10 minutes in and he was still fumbling about panning for crisps, making the most noise I’ve ever heard, apart from a plane taking off. All the crumbs were landing handily on his belly which he proceeded to brush off himself at the end of his feast, onto the floor. He then lined up a six foot long cup of coke, slurping it down to the last ice cube.Meanwhile, elsewhere in the auditorium, other cinema-goers appeared to be attending their own crisp packet convention.
My solution is for the manufacturers of crisp packets to incorporate an electric current within the innards of the packet meaning that every time Wayne & Waynetta touch it, they have 1000 volts shot through their bloated bodies.
Film was great by the way (The Gentlemen).9 -

I once got chucked out of the cinema for bringing my own food. I protested, but they weren't having any of it. "But it's been ages since I had a barbecue"Macronate said:Probably been done before but cinema etiquette.

Once had someone directly infront of me in the theatre bring in a huge box of fried chicken.... was absolutely disgusting. She didnt pull it out until about an hour in so it must have been cold. She then proceeded to munch away putting the bones in her handbag. Worst thing was it was chicken cottage...Macronate said:Probably been done before but cinema etiquette.

Has anyone notice how long it takes to buy all the kids hotdogs, popcorn and drinks and then how difficult it is to stop them throwing half of it on the people on either side?
Relying in them eating that as their main meal of the day ffs. Least they could do is send round ushers half way through the film asking if anyone wants some more to eat/drink.0 -
When you are at a day long conference, and stand at a urinal next to a senior member of the UK Intellectual Property Office and one of the countries most revered QCs, and break wind like a machine gun10

Not loving this general anti London vibe at present.
It seems politicians of every persuasion are jumping on the supposed London centric cart to enhance their standing North of Watford at the expense of us poor southerners .
Boris diverting funds to pay off his new mates in the North and Midlands. The press making Labour leader candidates with London background as no go candidates. The call to sidestep Wembley for the football, the idea of moving the House of Lords up country and now those cheeky Northern Cocks are even demanding to have trains that work up there. Whatever next?
The thing is your average Northerner isn't built to cope with the 24/7 lifestyle, the pressure, the sweat box cramped conditions, the pollution, travelling to work for more than 30 minutes, the extreme cost of housing, the price of our beer and coffee at nearly 3 quid a throw. My guess is they'll eventually get what they so crave through feeling victimised and then bloody well regret it.
Aye up lad remember when a pint of ale would cost yer a quid, you could still breathe the fresh mountain air, you could buy a detached property in yer own field for the price of one em them fancy ... what d'ya call em? Studio effing flats. Well I'll be buggered!

Kids and pushchairs in Coffee shops. Go and drink in M&S or Burger King with your screaming kids and leave me in peace to enjoy my Cortado.0

The coffee shop in our local supermarket is more like a creche these days ... trying to get a seat with dozens of pushchairs around is a nightmare.eaststandmike said:Kids and pushchairs in Coffee shops.

I'm not a coffee shop person as much as I've tried to be. One of the reasons is the acoustics always seem to be awful and I can hardly hear myself think let alone someone I'm having a drink with. The onslaught of mothers with children in them reinforces why I don't settle in coffee places, can't really blame the mothers as selfish as it is dragging noisy, energetic kids along for an overpriced hot drinkstonemuse said:

People that don't understand the difference between a public park and a nature reserve. Please keep your excitable kids, your smelly mutt and your overloud conversations out of the latter. They're meant for wildlife and for loners like me, not as general recreation areas.
Worst offenders are the gaggles of old grannies who prowl around covered in pin badges of all the wild birds they'll never see because everything they say comes out like it's shouted through a megaphone. Here's a little tip, don't say very much and keep the volume at whisper level; that way you might not need the badges to remember what the birds look like.1 -
people being awkward for the sake of it.
there was a bloke with a suitcase on the station platform when i pulled into Farringdon this morning. he wasn't getting on that train so just stood there in the middle of the platform with a smug 'I'm not moving' look on his face.
prick was wearing a manky brown leather bomber jacket with a suit ffs0
