Agreed, but do you not think that 'Monkman' is really a superhero in a clever disguise? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted February 28, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have no idea what that oscars thing is about, wonder how long it will take before I know without actively looking it up?

PompeyVillan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I stopped in the street yesterday and stood to one side to allow an elderly couple pass me. I stood behind a public bin so they could pass, and quickly checked my phone as I did so. It must have taken a good 20 seconds for them to pass and they did the old boy tutted "The future of our country" at me. Firstly, I felt I was doing the right thing to let them past. Secondly, it's me 30th Birthday in a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brommy Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Inconsiderate parking. I live in a cul-de-sac and too often there are cars parked on both sides of the road near the entrance to the Close. The gap is just about wide enough to drive a car through. If an ambulance had to access the 30 or so houses past the parked cars it would struggle to get through without folding wing mirrors in. There's no way a fire engine would get through. On the one side of the road the parked cars are also obstructing the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume a Fire Engine can and will damage the cars in the way if it needed to get to a house fire. I doubt they would need to pay for it either as if it is illegally parked and stopping them doing their job it is just a piece of metal, hopefully.

mottaloo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Dopey idiots who stand too near me as I'm at a cashpoint. They're normally oblivious to their proximity but I always make the exaggerated point of (when finished) turning around and pretending to be startled to which I get an embarrassed, mumbled apology. I'm not usually that guy who bangs on about personal space but that and supermarket checkout queues do my head in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The heating at work has stopped working overnight. Its getting gradually colder and I'm sat in the office on my own. None of this annoys me more than the fact i asked for the day off as annual leave last week and it got rejected because someone wouldnt work their day off to cover me. No problem, except that person is now working their day off in another office. All while i have to wait here for the engineer to come out and turn the heating on.
