    I tell you what I identify as, a thoroughly pi$$ed of long time reader and contributor of this forum up to the back teeth with you and Presley hijacking just about every thread in this section to petty pointscore and derail just about every thread.

    To that end, I'm taking a sabbatical, you carry on boring the **** out of everybody, you've bored me for the last time.

    Stick around - you know we'll end up in bed at some point - then the sparks will REALLY fly ;)

    Things that annoy me - people who go into the 'random things that annoy me' thread and tell people they shouldn't be annoyed by things. 

    Its only happened once as far as I can tell and it's about otherkins and non-binary types. I don't know what makes the holy sanctity of these people so special but **** em I say. They're annoying. ?

    In 245 pages I'm pretty sure there has been more than 1 occurrence of someone trying to argue against another.s annoyance

    Maybe not many as for the most part it's just petty annoyances about every day life, but as far as I can tell this is not "random things that bring out the bigot in me" thread. If someone posted "tell you what annoys me - black people" would you not expect them to be called out?

    I guess you just like to mock people who have mental health issues, in particular the way they cope. If its the choice between someone being so tormented by their sexuality that they kill themselves, or they come to terms with where they sit on the gender spectrum - you'd advocate for the suicide everytime because - hey one less "otherkins" for me to be annoyed by

    Nice

    True. So they'll be compelled to say things they don't agree with by law but they can secretly think other things (probably because they don't yet have the tech available to stop unexpressed thought).

    Fandabidozi. That's definitely a step in the right direction :(

    But bear in mind we're only talking about where someone can do a wee. That's not really a big ask for someone to just ignore and get on with their own life is it?

    Other end of the spectrum - there are laws to say we can't shag kids. Plenty of paedos out there who are compelled to pretend they don't have those thoughts but are walking round eyeing up schoolkids.

    So really it's about where do you draw the line and the answer seems to be - at the point where it doesn't materially affect you or anyone else's wellbeing, or the peace and order of society.

    If someone is getting themselves worked up about something as unimportant as transgender bathrooms then they should probably check themselves the next time they talk about "liberals who go around looking for stuff to be offended by"

    places are obliged to provide public toilets, workplaces, pubs etc etc. If you owned a business, like a restaurant, would you find it fair that you have to open a variety of amenities to cater for people who just want to be a bit different?

    Why do you have to provide anything different? They can use whichever toilet they like. Plenty of places have unisex toilets anyway.

    This thing the budget airlines seem to do where they "encourage" you to not have hold luggage by charging a fortune for it

    Then the second they have you in the boarding queue they insist on checking all your hand luggage into the hold, meaning you have to take everything you need for the flight out of the bag and carry it awkwardly onto the plane and hope they don't trash your hand luggage by chucking it about

    I'd be excited too...... If I were going. Look forward to a full report, looks impressive on website. How much for a pint(500ml) couldn't see on site? I'm clenching my teeth :D

    The tickets for each 4 hour session were about £50, so it’s as much free beer as you can reasonably queue up for and drink in that time. I easily spent that in 4 hours at Indy Man Beer Con last year so it seems a decent deal

    Just watched the last episode of Portrait Artist of the Year, the female presenter, posh bint, can't remember her name, kept saying yurrs as opposed to years. And the other day, I heard another posh bird saying medsun instead of medicine.

    Accents/dialects I actuallly like but the hoi polloi with their pronunciation sicken me.

    and they stink terrible too.

     

    It's like they've purposefully invented a way of smoking that smells MORE offensive than fags. Sure, it's flavoured water vapur, but it's ben around your lungs and out of your fetid mouth.

    It actually reminds me of when the kids have had a yogurt and then they do a sour fruit-flavoured burp in your face on a cold morning outside

    Vinegar bottles like this, where it's impossible to get any out without flooding your plate.

    You know how to use one of these right?

    You tip it upside down with the lid on and fill the bulb, then turn it the right way up.

    Take the bulb out and capillary action keeps the vinegar in the bulb - you then tap the bulb and drops of vinegar com out

    Just been reminded of this one by Animal in the Random Things That Annoy Me thread, where he mentions the phrase "cheeky Nandos"

    On Feb 14th I walked to the Cardiff game and back, passing the Nandos on the market place twice in each direction.

    I always enjoy seeing the miserable faces on the couples sat in the window anyway, but on Valentines Day it is extra special.

    When you've just watched Derby throw away a two goal lead and lose the game, it cheered me up no end to witness people having a worse night than me :lol:

    Good post Tony - I won't quote the whole thing for obvious reasons, but just wanted to clear up that I wasn't 100% clear

    I didn't mean that staying in the same place is the answer. There are many valid reasons to get away from certain places, and it sounds like you had many. I was more trying to say don't focus on a single alternative place and put it on some pedestal as being the one thing that will make all your troubles right and your fears disappear. That one place could literally be a million other places. It's the mental journey that is more important than the physical journey
