    Not very subtle but maybe a good idea.

    I also have one.

    I go to a barber once a month to get my nose and ears waxed. Game changer.
    My barber does this when i get my hair cut and has done for years.

    Isn’t that a bit annoying you have to wait for him to finish his own personal grooming before he finishes your hair cut ? 😉😆😉🙂

    I have never had a backpack, never needed enough things to put in it. I have managed to carry everything I need in my pockets, or in a bag for nearly 80 years. What am I missing? What do people need to carry around all the time, like a woman's handbag, full of rubbish but may be needed sometime 😄
    I’m not saying I disbelieve this, but much like when someone claimed they never ever touch cash, I’m fascinated. You’ve never had a backpack for work stuff? You’ve never ever gone shopping and taken a backpack because you don’t want to use carrier bags? What about on holiday? Hand luggage for the plane? Do you transport all of your beach/pool stuff down to the pool in your pockets?
    No, I have never had a backpack. Retired now but did not need to take anything to work, unless no cafe then a lunchbox, but I can manage to carry from my car to work place. I take carrier bags when shopping, from shop to car, a small hand luggage, (yes small), for airplanes and beach. Never carry more than I need.
    Sorry to disappoint you. When I was young, backpacks were never used and I still do not
    So the car actually carried your stuff apart from a short walk to and from it, not your pockets, Ross?

    People who smell really badly. A bloke got on the bus yesterday who stank so much and we moved half way down the bus and could still get a whiff (we did move further back once we realised this).   
  • those interviewers who are waiting like vultures,to ask some poor sod,who has been training for years and has just seen his hopes go down the pan in a matter of minutes,what are their thoughts at this moment.It is really a wonder that that mike has not been shoved up someones arse.
  • The museum of London - soon to be the London Museum - has chosen a new logo to represent the grit and glitter of the capital. 

    It is to be a clay pigeon that has just released a splat of glittery poo.

    ... My God maybe I've lived too long.  :/  

    Ms Ament said: “The pigeon and splat speak to a historic place full of dualities; a place where the grit and the glitter have existed side by side for millennia; an impartial and humble observer of London life."

    Josh Green, from designers Uncommon Creative Studio, which came up with the logo, said: “London Museum’s new brand is characterful and distinctive, and communicates something important about London.”

    Nils Leonard, co-founder at Uncommon, added: "We wanted the pigeon to also become a reflection of the diversity and constantly changing beauty of the city.

    One of those truly "WTF" moments. When I first read it I thought it was a wind up - surely there can be no other explanation! But no, sadly, you aren't making it up.

    One of the world's truly great cities, and in a museum dedicated solely to its evolution and development, we have a pigeon and pigeon shit as its symbol.

    Truly farcical.

    Bramley apples. Where are the bloody things hiding? Picked kilos of wild blackberries this weekend so Mrs idle could make a crumble, now there's not a cooking apple to be found. Disappointed. Will just have to freeze them and wait until September...

    The second thing to generally annoy me today. RFU announced that Twickenham to be renamed Allianz Stadium.

    Everyday is crumble weather, but unfortunately for me my wife hates it. So it is in fact, never the right weather for me.

    Perhaps she only grew to hate it after she got married

    I thought I could win her over but after 37 years I'm broken, shes won. She once even bought me one of those sad bloke apple crumble for one pots from Sainsburys, bloody horrible nothing like what my mum or either of my nans made.  
    Bread pudding is another one she tortures my mind with. She made me one once around about 1988, it was fantastic. Never got another.
    Worse bit is she is a trained chef, (a manager now for many years), and worked in some good places with some good chefs, you'd think I'd have food like Nigella. I often hear about the menus she has planned and the mouth watering items on them, I get none of them. She hates cooking after being involved with it all day.

    Think it’s very funny and ironic and very apt, isn’t it? I’ve been shat on many times.

  • Oh come on you guys!  That's like the Acropolis Museum in Athens displaying these and saying, 'OK it's a bit sh*t, but at least we've got some marbles.

    Well, actually they don’t, coz we nicked them the last time I checked.

    I think that equally would be funny and not a bad idea, have you thought of selling the image to them;)?

    Bizarre choice when you think that Feral Pigeons exist in every non-frozen continent and can probably be seen in just about every city in the world. They are though a sub-species of the Rock Rove, that (other than feral types) don't live in London because it has no cliffs. 

    As for that little statuette, the pigeon's shit is the least shitty thing about it. Uncommon Creative Studio sounds like a parody of the parody Perfect Curve.

    Men who think it's acceptable to have one hand down their tracky bottoms in the street. WFT is wrong with these people? The only time this is remotely acceptable is when your shaft gets trapped halfway outside your pants, at least find somewhere discrete and wash your hands. Dirtbags.

    While I'm on the topic of knobby fingers, blokes using their mobile phone while pissing in a urinal.
