People allowing children/babies to sit on dogs followed by comments “how cute is that” ffs Maybe they won’t be as quick to comment on the child with the side of its face ripped open and another dog is destroyed. 😡
Absolutely correct,people who have pets should be very aware that just like humans they can get suddenly pissed off and react badly,just look at the damage a small cat can do if it gets irritated and lashes out.

Not forgetting dogs are experts are hiding the fact they are I’ll/uncomfortable, when I’m grooming our dogs if a catch a small knot in their coat with a rake they’ll turn and remind me that hurt. So a child would have no chance, I’m fed up reading “it’s never done that before” The child pays a price, but the dog pays with its life just people can get a photo. 🤷♂️

Boomers getting a bad press just for being born in a certain time line.
To make matters worse I've just read Jane Fryer's guide to emojis and what they really represent. It has become evident to me that younger generations are rounding on us to give us a right old kicking. I mean, who'd have thought by simply attaching an aubergine to an invitation, to munch on your lovingly prepared Moussaka, would really indicate an impressive manhood and an invitation to hot sex? Smiley, friendly, winky face anybody? Fellow Boomers do not send this emoji!
I was always of the impression that us Boomers were the champions of irony, sarcasm, the double entendre and general leg pulling. A clever old fashioned form of language that has been misconstrued by younger generations into some kind of terrible bullying 'ism - when really it was mostly meant as a gentle leg pull - often with a degree of humour and warmth.
Now it seems - all the while - younger generations have been forming this emoji code to trip us up. There are apparently 3,633 officially recognised emojis and approximately 10 billion are sent each day. Watch out for the new ones too. There's soon to be a shaking face that we Boomers will be told represents shock reactions to indicate excessive movement, such as during an earthquake. However generations X,Y and Zee have already planned some far more fruity meaning, probably to embarrass us old ones and make us look stupid. It's a minefield fellow Boomers, be careful out there!

People who call themselves Patriots. Seems to be a bit of a fashion of late. I know exactly what they mean and I'm half sure they do it to get a rise out of us lefties.

Delivery companies taking a photo of your feet and open door etc the minute you open your door to get a parcel.
I can understand why it's done with people saying items weren't delivered etc, but it's weird and invasive, especially given they basically do it without asking or telling you they are doing it.
Imagine what you'd say to a random without a parcel who knocked on your door and as soon as you opened the door they were taking a photo.
🤣 exactly the same happened to me this morning. Woman was taking a picture of my trotters next to the parcel so I apologised and said let me move my feet. She replied 'I need your feet in the picture' she could have let me put some socks on.
If that's the case then stop showing action replays, shots of a manager waving his arms around/writing notes while the game is going on.
They missed Naby's og at Wembley because they were showing a replay of a nothing shot by a Sunderland player.
They cant have control of the coverage at times so am happy to let them off a little bit.
But the French Grand Prix on Sunday was ridiculous - There must have been an endless amount of overtakes in the first seven laps, how many did we actually get to see... ZERO... Understandably they were showing the fight at the front between Leclerc / Verstappen
But this is where they almost need picture in picture where the replays get shown, with the live Sport still visible in the corner - I mean the technology is surely there, so why arent they using it?
When people use the expression 'God Bless' my sister uses it a lot drives me nuts.
I'm an atheist I don't believe in god nor do I need anyone saying that to me, as if it makes a difference. WTF!
I know what you mean. Not a religious person myself but one of my favorite sayings does have God in it. "By the grace of God go I"
Interesting as well the AA serenity prayer mentions God but it's a god of our own choosing, mine was always my dog at the time because dog is god backwards.
But to be honest I don't really like any expression that includes god, as if he/she exists.
My daughter had to phone 111 on behalf of her 6 year old daughter. They said they'd arrange for an ambulance. An hour later the paramedics called, they thought it fairly urgent she was seen face to face, but assessed it would take 3 hours 45 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.

Giving me £12m to keep my mouth shut.. or open... whatever.

It's not right the delivery companies get them for free.
So you're going to take a photo on the sly of my feet and send them to Sharon at number 46? What?!
