Would love the opportunity for a barbers to do something to annoy me. All I could have if I went in one now would be a spit and polish.North Lower Neil said:Barbers.
I ask for the same thing every time - and it's basically "Like this but shorter", and quite a simple short back and sides type haircut.
And yet it ends up being different every time.6 -
I'm OK on that front but I do have the kids going "You should really ask them to dye your hair at the same time, it's looking very white..." every time!DaveMehmet said:

In the 90s me and all my mates, in fact most of the males in Chatham would go to Toni & Franco's barbers at the end of Chatham High Street. People would come in with pictures of Patrick Swayze, or other delusions of grandeur, writing cheques Toni or Franc were simply not prepared to cash. Regardless what you asked for everyone would leave looking the same. The only exception is when you clocked what was going on and asked for them to just shave it all offNorth Lower Neil said:Barbers.

Why is it that we can't do roadworks these days without "One way working", or poorly sign posted diversions.
A journey from Lingfield to New Eltham last week using the A25 instead of the M25, because of the 25 being congested turned into 90 mins of shear frustration.
Years ago it was an oil lamp and a careful roadworks sign and we were all fine0 -
Partly litigation, partly driving standards have fallen off a cliff in this country and the not unreasonable expectation of the people carrying out works next to or on the carriageway to have as much protection as possible not to mention giving drivers crystal clear direction.usetobunkin said:Why is it that we can't do roadworks these days without "One way working", or poorly sign posted diversions.

I'm regularly screamed at by self-important, inadequate drivers who are incapable of negotiating their way past a set of temporary traffic lights or my favourite, the ones who take the decision road closure signs dont apply to them and are made to reverse 300 yards back down the skinny country lane we unbelievably had to close to enable us to work.
I totally agree about the volume of roadworks and badly co-ordinated road works but unless you want to put your faith in the great British motoring public to keep you safe when a lot can't manage not using a mobile phone whilst driving, and have no idea of lane discipline I will give myself the best chance I can of not meeting my maker on the highways of the UK3 -
I ONCE went to a mixed hairdresser / barbers (never again). Anyway I was sat in the chair and a woman customer walks in and asks for 'bob' haircut, to which the hairdresser says, "Sorry the woman who cuts 'bobs' is not in today." Nuff said. I get home and my misses laughs and says, "you've got a bob." "I can't have" i said, the woman who does bobs wasn't in today.Carter said:

I do get confused at Road Ahead Closed signs though. I always read it as the road I'm on, but experience tells me it will be a road on the left or on the right and you won't know till you actually get there.7 -
KCC Highways advising that a road will be closed from a certain date, but then you find that the work hasn't started, no work is being done and there is no new information as to when it is going to start.
Road signs left out long after the work has finished.4 - Sponsored links:

After an operation (last week) to remove arthritic damage to right hand/wrist/foerearm, I have to travel Sittingbourne hospital to have plaster cast and stitches removed and Medway hospital for advice on exercises for said injury. When it would more cost effective for both myself and the NHS to simply ask @DaveMehmet about the physio! 🤷♂️😂😉8

and the old favorite three or four vans parked up, a portaloo, a small hole three foot square, three blokes in the vans reading the sun/smoking a fag and the work experience boy poking at the hole with a shovel.ME14addick said:KCC Highways advising that a road will be closed from a certain date, but then you find that the work hasn't started, no work is being done and there is no new information as to when it is going to start.

If it's any consolation, no different here in Portugal, except there would be five blokes in the van, staring out the window smoking a fag.Hal1x said:

The increasingly common tendency to muddy the pronunciation of the letter S, especially at the start of a word when the second letter is a consonant:
Schtrictly
Schtupid
Schcreen
Schwing
It might be all right for Germans, but no thanks otherwise.

My Dad telling me I'm too soft on the people I manage at work when I'm simply offering basic flexibility and being a considerate human.
Forgive me if the guy who's employees used to refer to him as Hitler behind his back isn't the person who's management style I want to emulate.7 -

Those Friday afternoon phone in shows on radio 2 and Greatest Hits radio where people phone in with a request for a song and then say what they are getting up to over the weekend.
The rage comes from both aspects of the phone call - the songs "requested" are always so mainstream/middle of the road/unadventurous just normal safe play list fodder, and the second part of the call is just a boast about what a brilliant weekend they are going to be having doing mainstream/middle of the road/unadventurous bog standard crap with every call set up by the station in the same way with the presenter firing question after question at the caller creating a show which is just a conveyor belt of vanilla , safe, unoriginal, all the same tripe with no originality or individuality.3 - Sponsored links:

That picture is horrible and a good warning, but a bit like a Rorschach test; I can see a butterfly, a big pair of old man ears with them oversized dangly lobe piercings and in the middle, a scary face bearing its teeth. Am I normal, Doc?
As far as warning photos go, someone mentioned riding motorbikes in flip flops. My old riding instructor used to have a picture of someone who had fell off their bike without proper footwear. As they fell, their big toe went between some moving parts of the bike and was instantly stripped of all its meat. All you could see in the picture was a stump of bone protruding where a toe should be (this was later amputated). Don't risk it folks.

It cost you a shilling ? Ffs, when was the last time you got your hair cut, 1971 ?1 -
Also illegal in Portugal. Not allowed to drive a car wearing them either. Personally why anyone would want to wear them away from the beach or poolside is beyond me anyway. They are ugly, bad for your feet and uncomfortable.Stig said:That picture is horrible and a good warning, but a bit like a Rorschach test; I can see a butterfly, a big pair of old man ears with them oversized dangly lobe piercings and in the middle, a scary face bearing its teeth.

FFS, when I was at Wembley on Tuesday, I put a sealed bid in on a framed signed Taylor Swift montage in a charity auction. Didn’t think too much about it as my bid wasn’t that much higher than the starting point but just had an email to say I’d won it for £650.
Can’t even hide the amount from my wife as I’d mistakenly autofilled the joint account details when I was registering it on my phone.18
