    Prompted by that photo of of Theresa May and her husband: People who go walking with nordic walking sticks. Sure if your'e elderly or infirm yo might need a little help, but for anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy it's nonsense. Walking isn't about the expensive equipment, it's about getting out in the fresh air. Stop pretending you're one of the Heroes of Telemark and just enjoy a walk.

    Annoys me too
    See folks just going into town with walking sticks, hike boots, gaiters and a goretex jacket. You aren't climbing Everest, you're getting the paper
    I was in a greasy spoon on Bromley High St a few years back during a period of heavy snow.

    A bloke and his wife came in wearing full ski gear, carrying skis and poles. They propped their skis up on the wall and had a full English.

    Utter, utter bellends!

    What's wrong with a full English?

    When people applaud the pilot as he lands the plane after a completely normal flight. Clapping and shows of appreciation should be reserved for when it's been a particularly difficult flight with turbulence etc, not for a normal landing which pilots do every day.

    On the subject of applause, people who applaud at the end of a movie at the cinema. Now, this may be a Dubai thing, because I'd never experienced this in the U.K. It's also only with new releases, so maybe excitement takes over, I don't know.
    Doesn't annoy me, by the way. Just makes me think "Who's that applause for? Chris Pratt can't hear you! Freaks."
    So are you suggesting that I'm wrong to clap at the end of EastEnders?

    There's a group of them that walk around Ladywell Fields Park on a Saturday and Sunday morning.

    1. Ladywell Fields is flat.
    2. It has paths, which the Christopher Columbus-wannabies tend to walk on.
    3. None of them are old enough to claim that they use the sticks are to provide support for their age-ravaged limbs.

    It's pathetic, and makes you wonder how far they take this ridiculous behaviour.

    "Having a shower, dear? Don't forget to put your deep sea divers outfit on."
    "You're driving to the petrol station? Your Nigel Mansell outfit is in the cupboard under the stairs!"
    "You're making toast? That's great, don't forget to dress up as Heston Blumenthal first though!"

    Pathetic behaviour from people who are old enough to know better.

    When anything, even worse someone else walking by, unexpectedly tugs an in-ear headphone out of your ear.

    Sends me loopy.

    When you reach around the screen to turn on the shower, forgetting you still have your toothbrush in your mouth. Still, it saved me using a cottonbud to clean my ears!! :(

    I've got this bolt on app for tinder and it supposedly lets me know likes me. Every time a fit one comes along I click on the little green tick to say yes, and it says match failed. It's really annoying.

    Looks like I'm single after 8 years, fuck knows what happened there. My choice though, and a late night visit to the mother has pretty much put it in perspective.

    On the plus side, I got to tell some fat fuck who tried to get in my face to "fuck off to weight watchers and then come back and try again". Not sure what nonsense he'd been told, but seeing it take multiple people to hold the human wrecking ball back was quite amusing.

    For someone who shies away from confrontation, it was pretty interesting. All I remember was yelling and demanding they let him free; "Let him fucking go then; if it looks like he's going to do some damage then all I have to do is walk away quickly". Most unlike me.

    A bit numb really. First train home to collect a few bits, and - to be honest - ask a few questions before I decide if I've done the right thing. One being what the hell was up with that cretin.

    All my fault apparently, her birthday drinks are an occasion where she's allowed to yell abuse at my face in a bar; thems the rules.

    Apparently her entire friends group hates me for pulling tubs up, despite the fact I was quite sober (with a completely sober friend who saw what happened), there's no way he fronted me and deserved that abuse. Funny, because I remember having to push his arm down at one point, as I genuinely felt like he was trying to escalate things.

    I have to apologise for "going for the jugular", and she's packing a bag for her mother's tomorrow morning. All a bit bizarre to be honest. I feel genuinely guilty for calling him out on his weight, it's a fucking horrible thing to do... But so is getting in my face; words were the least severe option there.

    Suspect the main issue was actually touched upon in the latest conversation; we're not engaged and she has a bee in her bonnet about that. Interesting way to try and force an engagement, a bit like trying to cook a dinner by putting it in the fecking freezer.

    Interesting point you raise. Spelling might not matter too much, but grammar does, as it can change the context of a sentence completely.

    Funnily enough my 10 year old son picked up on something earlier today when watching tv - an ad came on for Homebase and he asked me why would anyone buy a lawnmower that cost over £5k. I said they wouldn't & he must have got it wrong - but then seeing the ad myself I saw that the price stated was "£5499", with the "99" in smaller number than the "54" - not £54.99. Now we all know that it meant 54 pounds & 99 pence, but to a child who has been taught that there is a "." inbetween the pounds & the pence he read it as seen.....and I agree with him. It was factually incorrect. If there is no "." between the numbers then is reads as it reads - £5499. Same goes for grammar. If you say " I ain't done nothing" it means you have done something. What you actually mean is that you having done anything - but that is what you have said & that is what the words mean.

    Sorry for your situation, and hope it all works out OK, but can you confirm how many people holding back tubs screamed "leave it, he's not worth it.."
