    The Bite Size:Rumours thread. I know it's just because it's a closed thread but when you reach the end you lose the buttons to navigate away and end up scrolling all the way back to the top. Arse

    When you move your bag / coat from the seat next to you for someone to sit there and they sit on a different seat but then put their stuff on the seat you just cleared.
  • Second hand / used newspapers.

    I normally take my newspaper from deep within the pile as I like it to be in pristine condition. Yesterday I took the the top copy and later realised to my horror that it had been read. Slightly crumpled, with pages that didn’t quite line up, I was relieved to find the crossword free from the vendor’s attention - hope he wasn’t taking a dump while he read it.

    Sadly I couldn’t even get the butler to iron it for me as I’d given him the orf.

    I just hope @DaveMehmet wasn't the previous reader (looker at pictures) it would have been worse than a dump.

    Someone at my work tattooed them on. Massive ones. Can't say I care either way about the style, but that seemed rather extreme

    Hope the said person wasnt forced to use it after having a dump

    the genius who designed and built car parks at Gatwick. I tip my hat to you. you have really gone to great lengths to make sure that anyone who drives anything that can hold large suitcases, i.e anything bigger than a bike, struggle through your alarmingly narrow car park. not only that you also have a devious electronic sign that says there are spaces on the next floor only to find out when you nearly lose a wing mirrow getting up there that that floor has now gone from 125 spaces to full up. but don't worry the next floor has plenty of spaces. repeat this till you get to the fourth floor. where to your amazement there is a free "space". when I say space you can just fit a car into it but to then try to get out of the car you either have to climb back through the boot or if you have a sunroof squeeze yourself through there.

    this whole experience takes up to half an hour meaning you are now on the extortionate £7.50 parking charge and closing in rapidly to the outrageous £12 charge. its a way to make a living.

    What's the hole in the middle of a spaghetti spoon for?
    It's to measure out 1 portion.

    Pasta is another issue.

    You're being silly, there's an easy knack to it.

    500g = pasta for 2 or 3 large main meal portions.Then do maths and weigh accordingly.

    Exactly this. Most people think it's for draining but it is a built in measure

    I also include the load that inevitably flies out the bag onto the floor as I try to withdraw a fist piled with pasta

    It's like you've broken into my brain, had this exact experience on Saturday in an estate car. We got to the roof before we got a space and even then were just lucky someone was leaving. Right pain in the arse.
