    I can't stand those bellends who put those circular rings in their ear lobes
    There's a couple we know both early 30s and both got those done, hers aren't that big, but he's basically got a small bracelet stuck in each ear. I wouldn't mind but they're both good looking people and, as far as I know, that's irreversible, or at least a big old job to correct it. He's got both nipples done an all and I reckon she probably has too. Each to their own and all that, but I can't see the attraction meself.  Will also add, both are quality people

    I've seen them when they've taken them out and it looks like a couple of rashers of bacon hanging from their ears.

    Driving up to some temporary traffic lights, the car in front decided to stop as she was almost level with the lights, which had gone amber. She was then blocking the road and both of us had to reverse, luckily the car behind me had left a bit of room. The cars coming through still had to slow right down to get past.
    It's people who jump temporary traffic lights that makes them get stuck on red at both ends
    I have to hold up my hand and admit I jump temporary traffic lights.  Sometimes there's no one else on the road so you're being held for no reason so I just go

    A professional gardener charging an hourly rate to cut an elderly neighbours hedge with fecking shears! While he was cutting the grass out the back I did the hedge foc with my trimmer and fecked him off out there. £25 an hour and taking 4 hours to do it every 3 weeks robbing bastard.

    All you can do is get the stretched lobe removed.

    i wonder if that’s why Blofeld had no earlobes?

    Had to "have a word with" a gardener who was taking advantage of me dad a few years ago. This was the Avery Hill area and I got a feeling the w⚓ was from Star Lane.

    Homeowners who leave the light/s adjacent to their front door on during daylight hours. It looks awful and if you can’t remember to turn those lights off, you shouldn’t be allowed to own a home.

    That my boss keeps coming up with terrible ideas that I am expected to implement. I spend half my working hours figuring out how to challenge these ideas without causing upset, and the other half thinking about how we can implement them whilst doing the least damage (just for the record, my boss isn't Boris Johnson).

    80 year old Harvey Keitel giving it large on the 'Direct Line' ads .. paying this senile old sod shedloads for talking a load of gangster influenced old bollocks in an attempt to make me buy their overpriced car insurance is an insult and I will make sure that I never ever consider buying one of their products .. do people really fall for this type of cliched old rubbish ?????

    I’ve been with DL for years but when I got my renewal a few weeks ago it seemed a bit trumpy.

    Called a couple of others and got a quote from Admiral that wasn’t far off being half what DL wanted.

    When I called DL to cancel, they offered to try and see if they could get me a cheaper quote. I told
    them to poke it and that as I’d been a customer for over 15 years, I’d expect them to get me the cheapest quote without having to threaten cancellation.

    off topic a wee bit .. got a price increase letter from Virgin Media, they wanted £107 a month for a decent but getting very expensive package. Checked online, the same package available to new customers for £65 + £30 set up fee. Phoned and complained, they offered it for £80 .. no said I, we settled on £76, they just refused to go lower. I am reasonably happy but it's still not £67ish a month including the set up fee for newbies. Companies take loyal (silly and complacent) customers for mugs

    Same thing happened to me last week with Churchill. My renewal almost trebled so i called up to see why and got a load of guff about possible changes in area maybe crime gone up etc. I said i had no claims for 6 yrs so dont get why the price increase but got no definitive answer. Told them stick it and my insurance was cancelled that day lol. 
    Got a quote from Sainsburys for about 300 but Couldnt relax knowing i had no cover for a few days. Really pissed me off

    You don’t want to go down the pet insurance route, Bailey’s monthly insurance premium was £160 per month because he suffers with Hypothyroidism. Exclusions were: Hypothyroidism and associated illnesses. So they increased the premium because of it, yet wouldn’t pay out if treatment was needed. We put money in a separate bank account rather than insure it now has 17k in it.

    Wow 160 a month? For a dog? That is more than house and car insurance and some.

    Bailey tablets to treat Hypothyroidism from a vet 60p each, he has 2 per day.
    I pay 12p per tablet direct from the manufacturer, but strangely they won't tell you they are available online!

  • My mum had house insurance with More Than. It crept up to £600 this year. We found a company that did it for less than half that and they weren't even the cheapest quote. Everyone just rips old people off. 
    I never quite understood till now why they call themselves More Than.

    Not just old people, they will rip off anyone and hope you dont challenge it. That is my only explanation as to how they get away with it
