catfan 14,793 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 People who leave the TV switched on all the time with no one watching it ! I walk in my daughter's house & switch everything off which is not being used, ie lights, radio, TV etc. I must save her a fortune. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 ARGH! Mrs Compo's daughter and family always leave every light in the house switched on, not to mention the TV and radio in the kitchen and bedroom that are on from dawn through to bedtime, even when they go out. They were once arty-farty planet saving vegetarians but now they don't even consider waste at all. When they visit I have to follow them around, switching off after them. In fact - it was them who forced me to change to low energy lightbulbs....GRRRRR! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 1) People who leave a tissue in their pocket or up their sleeve that disintegrates into little white bits all over the washing. (Might be me!) 2) OH saying, 'Why don`t you check all the pockets before the wash? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Inconsiderate drivers who don't think when parking. Suppose there is room for three or any number of cars & by inconsiderate parking park in such a way that all the space can't be properly used. i.e. wasting space. My all time favourite was driving a wagon & reaching a lay by, the tachograph ticking away, (one minute late on a digital tacho & VOSA will treat you to a £30 fpn) you go to park in a lay bye & some toss pot has parked smack bang in the middle of the lay bye not leaving enough room behind or in front of them for a wagon to fit in, absolute tossers ! Mother's who have to park anyhow outside school entances so they can drop their precious "chavs" at school blocking the road off & causing chaos. Mek em bleedin walk. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Walked through Edwards Lane Estate yesterday on my way to Arnold. What a 5hit hole. Continuous litter all along Longmead. Bags full of McDonald's crap, beer bottles, cans galore. Two styrene trays wit chips and gravy still in them , three used disposable nappies. I felt physically sick on reaching Daybrook. Madam says that I should not worry about things I cannot change, as I'm always picking up litter from outside my house. I said every bit I pick up makes a difference. I told her that ' if she wouldn't be part of the solution, then she was part of the problem. That did it...... Silence. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Had a wander up to my beloved Lime Kiln yesterday for sunday lunch & the customary few pints of Hobgoblin. Sadly there were a couple in there with a couple of inbred looking brats, one continually shouted & the other continually screamed all the time, the parents sat there totally oblivious to the noise while they both fiddled with their smart phones. Everyone seated close by moved away from them, I wanted to go & have a word but was told to behave myself, watch yer angina Catfan is what I got, in hindsight I think she was right. I seriously believe now that the smoking ban is not responsible for pubs closing but since the wholesale introduction of kids in pubs, where parents are either too stupid or ignorant to control their offspring in public places. Before anyone says you don't like kids Catfan, well, on the next table to us was a couple with a daughter about ten years old, absolutely perfectly behaved & a credit to her parents. Seems the "Wetherspoons" disease is spreading everywhere nowadays. A perfectly good Sunday lunchtime ruined. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 #351. Gi' o'er maunging Benji. A smokey pub has atmosphere. If they re-introduced smoking in pubs then the thought-police would not allow children in them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Over 20 years ago when I lived at Saxondale, my ex and I would frequent Shepherds at Stragglethorpe on a Sunday lunchtime. We initially went around one, but after a refurbishment, it was busier with overweight chavs taking their offspring. We then went in for 12 but were confronted with said chavs already seated with drinks at the bar. There was a large notice stating no children allowed at the bar. This was totally ignored , even though I brought it to the attention of the bar staff. This presumably was because they were also from Cotgrave, and didn't want any bother. We decided to wait till three before going in. Whoa ! Fatal mistake. The chavs were all pi55ed and the brats were running riot. Never patronised the place since. We then went to the Pauncefoote Arms at East Stoke. Fantastic,,,,,, till it closed. Then pubs in Granby and Harby, till they were made into Asian restaurants. Manor Arms at Elton on the Hill, Indian restaurant too. Then The Haven at Whatton. Brilliant........ Then I left the area !!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I find that a bringing a container of cold chicken soup clears brats and chavs..INSTRUCTIONS: Baxters tinned is best. Bring to lunch venue in sealable container. Chav and brat alert!! Copious slug of soup. Gag and project pretend vomit at the scum. Cola and nugget crazed kids cry and protest. Scoop up and eat (optional). Chav and Ill breds leave.( as will wife). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
