    Auditorium?? When did this play take place, the 50s?
    I’m struggling to thing of a better (more modern?) name for a room in which a performance takes place.

    Bagging up your dog's faeces and leaving the bag on the path, a bush, wall, etc  Just effing well carry it to the next bin you see on your walk, you've done the grotty bit you melt!
    Moronic and anti social but not as heinously antisocial as that ever present minority of dog owners who just let their mutts shit all over the place and leave it.
    May you all contract something way nastier than the virulent contagion and toxins in the faeces you leave behind and have your face eaten by the unfortunate hound that has you in its life, psychopaths all!
  • People on various Facebook pages who have been slagging the team off for weeks not having the decency to acknowledge a good result. I know a single result means nothing, and I include myself in those that remain cynical, but at least have the balls to say well done.

    People who stick out their tongue for photographs and then post them on social media. 
  • You're clearly seeing patients who can only interact with their GP via an online photo..

    Coming home on a train on Friday night, with a young man, making an arse of himself under the influence of alcohol wanting to fight anyone or anything. Absolutely unpleasant

    Yeah, not a thought in their heads except, "look at me".

    Not that anyone picks it back up but my mrs claimed and I saw her do it on a walk a few weeks back she hung it on a bush branch near the beginning of our walk out in Epping Forest (there’s not bins for miles on this walk we take)  she picked it back up on the way back and disposed of when home (in to the neighbours garden ) 
    I know the ones I’ve seen don’t move usually

    I had a similar discussion with a lady who hung a bag if dog shit on a hedge at the end of my road about 10 years ago. Literally collared her "dafuq are you doing" I said 

    "The bins full so I'll pick it up on my way back and take it home" which seemed reasonable enough but the problem is every other shithead for miles sees a bag of dog shit hanging in the hedge and feels obligated to take part as well without the taking it home bit. I’ve posted before about a physical altercation with darkness dog walkers and them leaving their dogs shit on the green out the front. Its an indictment of society, pricks who leave their dogs shit behind are always arseholes, without exception and that attitude is prevalent now. They are the same people who listen or watch shit on their phone with the volume up in public places, they haven't been hit enough

    I dont know why people do this, at this time of year it keeps your hand warm till you find the bin.

    You are not alone in doing this.
    My problem being I'm forgetful, the worse case being finding a bag still in my jacket pocket four months after last wearing the jacket.
    Although the funniest was the then landlady of the Bull pub (shootershill) asking me if Bailey had farted in the pub as I had a crafty pint after his exercise. 
    Not being able to smell anything I laughed and pointed to another fella sitting alone in the empty bar, then I got a waft myself and imediately checked my boots (all good) so I checked my dog (all good there too.
    The landlady was getting concerned and walked around checking the carpets for the obvious as I asked for another pint, discreetly she walked by the old boy in the corner trying to see his shoes, I couldn't smell it all the time which was strange as I finished my pint and left a confused Landlady and headed for home.
    Arriving home and following the routine of removing Baileys collar and hanging it on the spare peg where my jacket goes I got another waft of dog **** I immediately went to my pocket and there it was, the culprit.
    It seems every time I picked up my pint the movement caused the waft of dog **** to enter the bar. Most people would kept quiet but I couldn't wait to tell her next time I visited only to be called a dirty B******* but as as I said the dirty b******** are the ones who don't clear up after their dogs!

    This cafe in my village. More specifically, the word 'specialty'. I could possibly overlook it but it faces the traffic lights at the crossroads. Even worse, there's a gap big enough for the missing I to be inserted with a black marker. All I need is a couple of pints, a footstool and a dark night...

    Related to typos / errors in the restaurant trade I’ve often thought , when on holiday in Europe, there’s money to be made in correcting  English translation menus. Too often you see bad spelling or grammar and think there’s a market there to offer some corrections!

    PS how tall are you if a foot stall will do the job ? 😉😆

    Quite right, I'll update my plan. Also planning to pop over to Shiplake* across the river with some self-adhesive letter Ts to reflect more accurately the nature of the place.
    * twinned with Lac de Merde and Scheisse See

    Back in the days when I used to keep tropical fish, the local shop had a big sign calling themselves 'Fishy Buisness'.  Mrs Stig and I always used to say we were going to Fishy Bweesness. I know the shop is still there, but I checked online and saw that their latest sign has now got Business spelt correctly, but Fishy has become Fishey.  It's all a bit fishey to me.

    Yeah…..it’s the random one more than 5m from your house where the delivery driver took a photo before nicking your parcel.

    Just put a “n” in between specialty and coffee and then it could read special tea n coffee 🤓
  • Reading todays papers that 25% of my council tax is used for pensions.How can this be justified when they are all crying poverty,and cutting services.I dont have a company pension,only a small one I paid for myself,so I am pissed off with shelling out £40.00 plus a month to fund someone elses retirement.

    How quickly time goes. The last week seems to have flown by in literally a blink or an eye (yet perversely, Northampton a week ago feels ages ago. How does that work?)
