catfan 14,793 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 At lunchtime, (dinnertime) today I met up with The Seaside Walker here in Mablethorpe, and over a few reasonably priced pints, £8 for four pints we put the world to rights before turning our attention to the recent topic of annoying habits, and one that came to mind was whittling (and we're not talking pocket knife and a piece of wood here), but people who whittle on and on and on, there may even be whittlers on here for all I know. Mrs catfan is a whittler ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Just caught a No 17 bus back to Bulwell & a youth with his feet on the back seats. Do you sit at home with your bleeding feet on your mam's three piece suite says I ? No he said and quickly shifted them of the seats. Does anyone give a toss any more ? Had the same with a teenage couple today, both with their feet on the seats ! Had a go at the both of em, they DID take their feet off the seats when I mentioned it !

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Not turning up for an appointment or whatever. This week-end 2 things happened. Last Sunday I ordered and paid for fifty quids worth of laminate flooring from B&Q and arranged for it to be delivered on Friday. Not turned up by dinnertime so I phoned them. They hadn't a clue what I was talking about. Ended up fetching it myself. Then Saturday a man should have come to do an environment certificate. I paid for it by debit card. Never turned up and office closed. I emailed the boss and he's looking into it. A woman should have come Friday evening for some chairs she bidded for on Ebay. No sign of her. Is reliability a dirty word? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Why did we not find out about the Mablethorpe Meet Up? An Irish lorry driver once asked me for directions. "Excuse me sir, can you tell me the way to Maple'top?" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 A beautiful sunny day, I thought I'd put on the TV and watch the weather. First to BBC1, who do I see? The unfunny, over rated and extremely dubious David Walliams. Straight over to ITV, Jesus Christ now what? an advert with the aforesaid Walliams and the cringeworthy Simon Cowell, then a trailer of a forthcoming "comedy" programme with the also unfunny Rob Bryden and that useless pile of lard James Corden. Sod the TV, I made a cup of strong coffee, topped up the bird feeders and sat on our new patio furniture and soaked up the real world. How nice and peaceful even in Basford. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,163 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Bet you dont even like Michael Parkinson and his offer of a free pen,never watched daytime tv until last few months,and its all total crap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I do like the blonde girl on the Available car.com advert. The one who services the cars, changes tyres, re sprays them, operates the car transporter unloading mechanism and generally does everything. If she could cook, bake nice cakes, do DIY, decorate, weeding, like rock and blues music and real ale, she'd do for me. LOL !!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
