No. I refuse to think myself lucky on this thread. It’s a place for us to moan about stuff, so no.golfaddick said:
Think yourself lucky you can wear glasses. I've got an astigmatism which had meant 3 operations on my eyes (corneal grafts) and now I wear special scleral contact lenses, which are twice the size of normal contacts & means I can't wear glassess.lordromford said:
Same here. Never worn glasses in my life (47 years) but two days ago went to specsavers to collect my first pair of bins. Struggling to get used to them and I don’t like having to wear them, but can’t deny it makes seeing stuff easier!buckshee said:Eyes
I’ve always had 20/20 vision but since just over a year ago my mince pies are rapidly going, when I get up in the morning they take a good half hour to even work enough to enable me to read anything on a smart phone.
This added to my hearing always being bad and now getting worse. 1 -
We've all seen the 'Baby on Board' stickers on motors. Saw 'Twins on Board' this morning ?
Whats that all about? Why does having lookie likey kids mean a different sticker, for some reason this annoyed me....must be the heat I guess.0 -
Score you had to nudge which side of the car was ok to run into but now both sides are not ok.

Dont like the new Squad Numbers in the EFL
Seems to be an asterisk to the left of each name on the back of the shirts which makes you wonder what the footnote about each player is0 -

Thanks for clarifying yet why should I like the asterisk next to the name just because of that?Fumbluff said:

My Sister really struggles with Mental Health which is a bitch because I know how talented she is at her job yet is often signed off sick which stops her from progressing so am well aware of the risks of it yet the Prostate Cancer logo was really well done when incorporated into the shirt so it's a shame the asterisk couldnt have been utilised in the same way

People who walk around the airport with those neck pillow things. I’m sure there’s good reason for it - it’s comfy, saves you carrying it etc, but it looks ridiculous and still annoys me.1

People who let off fireworks, I know I have a dog terrified of them and most people do not care, but I think fireworks should only be at an organised event. Moan at me now for those who do not agree but I will not change my mindJaShea99 said:People who take pictures of fireworks.

The use of the phrase 'virtue signalling' in arguments on Charlton Life. What is this a bloody fresher's introduction to biology or something? Here's why I hate it:
1. Because the signaling of virtues isn't something that's intrinsically wrong.
2. Because the person using the phrase often does so as a replacement for logical argument; it's a way of attacking the person without challenging their ideas.
3. Because it's an unhelpful term popularised only in the limitless banality of the internet era.
4. Because the person accusing others of virtue signalling is often doing the same themselves: 'look at me, look at me, I know a pseudo-intellectual phrase that will make everyone think I'm intelligent and educated.
5. Because it's just shit and I'd like to see people getting pulled-up for using it.
Anyway, the more switched-on will have by now sussed out that I've been doing some virtue signalling of my own here: 'look at me, look at me, I know what your fancy little phrase means, I'm on top of your game'. And that's just how shit it is.
Next week in the course for Year 1 Lifers: The Aetiology and Implementation of Pseudo-Scientific Terminology in the Polarised Discourse of Online Sports-Based Discussion Media, Dr Stiglitz will consider the word Cockwomble, focussing in particular on why the people who use the phrase 'virtue signalling' are invariably cockwombles.11 -

That the BBC breakfast show has felt the need to join in with the Love Island thing.
I've got nothing against the show but it's not really news or current affairs, it's just an excuse to shoehorn a couple of contestants on the sofa.7 -
Trying to look slick in front of the kids. I bowled into the kitchen, removed a breakfast bowl and closed the cupboard in one smooth motion, spun across the kitchen, poured a bowl of cereal with one hand, took a spoon out the drawer with the other, shutting the drawer with my bum as I did another spin, sashayed to the table, jumped onto my seat all in the space of about 10 seconds and all the while singing "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake... my children's look of awe quickly became hatred and pity, as it became apparent I was holding a fork.21

Overuse of the word 'hub'. It seems that everyone with a meeting place or collection of disparate information wants to squeeze the word hub into its title. There are cafes called hubs, corners of public libraries called hubs, websites called hubs, web apps called hubs and seemingly endless bits of local government services called hubs. None of these things are anywhere near important enough or central enough to anyone's lives to be called a hub. Calling things hubs does not make them important, they are still what they are: sometimes useful (often not) random places or collections of stuff. By assigning an important word to a trivial service they are undermining our language. Stop it! It's almost as annoying as the moronic, 'one stop shop'.5

Its a bit of a jackanory, but here goes.....
It was my mums 80th yesterday and we booked a restaurant over in Epsom near where her brother lives, we had to pick him up on the way, we came of the M25 and the route we wanted to take to Epsom was closed due to a 'Cycling Event' it was carnage, it was pissing down and many of the diversion signs had blown down, the sat nav was going berserk asking as to do U-Turns etc, I stopped and spoke to a 'Marshall', asked how I was supposed to get to my destination, not a fucking clue.
Anyway it took us 1 hour to get to junction 9 and over an hour to get 6 miles to my uncles house down some of the tightest, shiitiest country lanes Ive ever driven on, all the while my mum needed the kharzi, then we had to get from his house to the Restaurant that we were now late for, but this meant trying to go round the cycling route to the restaurant, which we managed, somehow.
We had our grub, one of the restaurant waitresses said its so bad when they close the road fro this event, that the chefs cant get there from Dorking, so stay at the restaurant the night before??
I dropped uncle back then tried to get to the M25, 45 mins later I'm still no where close, so stopped, another couple of cars equally lost stopped and asked me if I knew how to get to the M25, chaos.
Somehow, I dont know how, but I suspect more signs had fallen over
) anyway I found myself on the track (closed roads), we drove about 4 miles not seeing anyone or any cyclists, then got stopped by security, who told me I shouldn't be there, after a brief chat I pointed out that I really didn't care if there was a race, he agreed that the organisation was poor, but didn't know how I was to get to the M25, even though he had a map?? So I followed the sat nav to the M25. Then it took us 2 hours to get to bexleyheath.
All the above just so lycra pain in the arses can dick about on their silly bikes.
Its no wonder they are universally hated by normal people.
...and rest!
You would rather a business turn punters away and shut for the day so you can ride your bike!
Maybe that's a day to rethink what they do.
By your logic everything should bow to business's priorities. So you might find anything that effects movement stopped.
No mass spectator sport, no marathon, no events on Blackheath or other sites close to main roads.
But the restaurants would be ok.
There was no one watching, did you see the weather on Sunday, it was hammering down.
Also it wasn't the Tour de France, is was a bunch of wannabes on a cycling jolly.
And yet you still think its Ok for businesses to close and for people to lose money, including their employees, because you lot want to peddle around, really? I mean how bloody selfish are you?
I cannot emphasise how badly it was organised and how pissed of many many people were.
You have just reenforced my hatred for cyclists.0 -
Hr people who "reach out"...wtf !!!
