    While we're on the subject of bad bathroom design:

    1. Hand dryers that are by doors or similar so that people keep setting them off accidentally and making themselves jump.

    2. Automatic flushes positioned on the same side at the back as the toilet roll on the wall, so that when you reach for toilet roll you set them off with your elbow and get gross toilet water splashed up your arse.

    You're welcome for that last mental image, by the way.
  • I half filled the kitchen bin with hot soapy water to give it a good scrub out, then had to leave to answer the phone.  Returned 20 minutes later to a flooded kitchen floor, cos the bin had a hairline crack at the bottom.  :(

    The Council Tax.

    Over £220 per month for 10 months and they can’t even be bothered to cut the grass verges. The roads around here now have flea darts the height of Mount Everest and, if they mobilise, I think they are capable of taking the borough over.

    As if we don’t pay enough in income tax.

    Sink taps that don’t actually have enough room for you to put your hands under to wet them. Absolute joke positioning. Why would a sink basin in a public place (bar/pub/restaurant) require a full sink anyway? Half the sink, lengthen the taps! I dream of being able to wash my hands for the required 20 seconds if only I could get them wet enough!

    When I lived in a road with verges I complained to bromley council about the state of them. They did it once every 6 weeks and then when cut used leaf blowers to blow it around and up cars until they losses it. They said they couldn’t afford to cut them as regularly as is they did in yesteryear. 
    I couldn’t stand the untidy mess so ended up cutting the grass in front of my house and my neighbours every time I cut the front garden.

    The current handball rule. Something is definitely wrong to keep seeing defeders running with their hands behind their backs. It's affecting our game.

    For clarity, when I pressed 'like' for your comment, I was only expressing a like for the comment itself and not for the sensation of water splashing up my private areas.

    Prompted by the BBCvITV thread:  Danny Murphy co-commentating. First there's the issue on hearing his voice, of momentarily thinking it's Ron Atkinson. Then I'm snapped back to reality when I remember that Big Ron was sacked from Sky donkey's years ago for being the sort of person that doesn't fit in with modern broadcasting ethics. Then all I can hear is "Mwa, mwa, mwa, mwa, I'm a selfish greedy bastard, mwa, mwa, mwa, mwa, I'm under the thumb, mwa, mwa, mwa, mwa...". Then, when I finally atune my ears to the idea that he's not actually saying that, I realise that he's not actually got any insights to add.  All he does is repeat the one idea in his head over and over again. I could be that some player is indispensable because they are playing so well or it could be that some unfortunate should be off because they aren't contributing. Whatever Murphy's opinion du jour, we'll just get it repeated every time the player concerned is on the screen regardless of what they are actually doing. There is nothing else. He is utterly, utterly hopeless.

    Ahhh, and breath.

    People who laugh and start clapping, especially when the joke isn't even remotely funny.
