people coughing, sneezing and sniffing all round you at work when you can't get away from them

sloooooow websites grrrrrrrrrr

Paul re No 2 on my list - You'll have your chance to tell all on Saturday! LOL >*|*<

Another one: That our front door faces on to one road, but our address is for another adjoining one. Bright bit of planning from someone there. We would have to change the house deeds to get it amended. Too expensive. Every delivery, be it take-away or package has to have additional directions. If our regular postie goes on holiday we don't get post for a week. Mutter mutter chunta. RW

Some cockney driver (late as usual, but it's not just him. He's new) asking me if I had all sorts of change but he just didn't want me to give it to me. He was asking the people behind me if they had any but in the end he gave me some, short of course but I didn't care by then. Really late today he was.

Paul, I go out of my way not to, however my barbers plus the local takeaway are guilty of playing local radio, which is the only time I hear it. Haven't got round to changing barbers or trying out a different takeaway lol

Andy, I have a 'bullshit bingo' sheet on my desk, for picking out the management speak during teleconferences :) The only one I'll admit to using occasionally myself is 'touch base'. Ashley - I just put a CD in instead.

Daniel And what is funny about a Southern accent please? Ann Glos

Business speak.....those annoying little David Brent managerial style sayings that creep in - 'lets chalk and talk', 'hit the ground running', 'chomping at the bit' etc. My boss is guilty of this and before you know it, you get sucked in and start using them yourself.

Paul change your radio station!! It used to happen to me, now i have changed to a certain talk station in london and whilst I shout at the radio alot, i find it is fun p.s. dont do any ironing either, their are ladies who are quite happy for you to pay them to do it for you :-)))

Ah, I've thought of one:- I signed a cheque the other day for work done but the receipt still came in hubbys name.

CB, I apologise for point 2 lol Andy - don't listen to local radio then ! another couple; Hot matches with people who don't seem to exist, or who don't reply to my mails songs that are rubbish, but on the radio playlist, so you end up hearing them 3 times a day, they worm their way into your mind, and then you find yourself humming them whilst doing the ironing.

5) People who outbid me on 19th century barristers wigs. I was ok but now I realise I'm quite furious with you. You know who you are, even if I don't! 6) The fact I wear a coat indoors because CPL Longman refuses to put on central heating unless absolutlely nessecery. Oh, and now he's in bed ill. Hope it's a cold, you heat dictator you! 7) Bus drivers who talk in funny southern accents who treat my getting to education on time as some sort of gameshow. 'Guess when I'm Coming???' Yeah, never on time! Idiot.

'Your call is important to us'. (If that's the case why is no-one bl**dy well talking to me?)

I somehow guessed that Daniel would have a few LOL:))

1) Small children starting sentences with 'But' (I forsee the slippery slope to 'yeah, but, no, but') 2) People using hand held mobile phone while turning the car. 3) People who think accelerating up a narrow 'Access Only' cobbled back street with a sharp bend is fine. After all, their kids have jumped clear of the car and entered the playground. Everyone else will just have to take their chances. I am sure there will be more :o)

LOL Paul, At first I thought you were talking about Bec's itchy skin! (Sorry Bec) A few that spring to mind - The mega-NOISY exhaust on the litte hatchback owned by one of the next-door neighbours - sounds like a flatulent tractor - and he's been back and forth in it today like a flea in a blanket. Moody people who won't say what's the matter with them. Not being able to find things round the house when I need them, then finding them when I don't. People who wait till I'm in the bath or the loo before phoning or ringing the doorbell. (How do they know?) 'Friends' you haven't heard from for ages, who suddenly crop up just before Christmas or their birthdays. People who won't admit they're wrong when it's proven. 'Information' websites that waffle on endlessly and make it damn near impossible to find anything useful on them. Sneaky people who stitch up others behind their backs. Next-door's cat - it bit me and drew blood this morning when I tried to put it out of my kitchen.

1)The lack of snow when everywhere else gets some. Same goes for thunder and lightening 2)Hairdresses who want to talk to you about modern day crime shows just because they forced you into saying you had an interest in victorian crime. I'm not paying your extortionate charges to speak! 3)People who talk crap and expect you to agree even if I know better and/or studied the subject of dicussion and know for a fact that their point is flawed. 4)The fact my window faces out onto the dark backyard and is constantly dim, requiring use of a lamp in the middle of the afternoon. Will think of some more.

my daughter!!! she seems to have made it her lifes work 1) she says random far too much 2) she starts a sentence with 'Yeah' 3) her room looks like a nuclear septic tank 4) she has nicked most of my good make up and then ruins it 5) she is not 14 until January and she is as tall as me!!!!

My daughter says that 'she turned around and said..................' I always ask if she got dizzy with all that turning around! LOL Julie xxx
