plantfit 7,601 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I usually buy Royal Navy work trousers from a military surplus place and when the knees wear out I cut them down,sew up the hem and there you go,hard wearing shorts with one hip pocket,two side pockets and two velcro fastening thigh pockets,perfect, I also buy "Desert camo" shorts from the same place with the same amount of pockets and only about a fiver a pair.

Oztalgian 3,298 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 It's the middle of the summer sports season here in OZ. Cricket- One day internationals versus the Poms , 20/20 Big Bash Tennis - Australian Open Cycling - Tour Down Under riding 120 km in 40 degree heat WTF? Football - Australian A League I just wish the telecasters would cut out the "talking heads" and just concentrate on the sport and that the tennis players, particularly the women cut out the grunting every time they hit the ball.

jonab 1,644 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 A thing that pees me off: Children - tiny children, not so tiny children and sometimes quite large children with a dummy (pacifier) in their mouths. There is never a good reason for this. They are a recent invention and yet the human race has managed without them for millennia upon millennia. Why are they here now? Is this why so many sucky kids came along? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 The kids dummy in Bulwell is "Greggs" sausage roll . Mind you I much prefer to see kids with dummies rather than listen to them sreaming for no reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 A well documented one this, but one that is constantly prevalent. DOG POOH ! Got back from town this lunchtime, and there was mega dollops in front of my drive, next doors drive, and in front of my wall. Having only noticed the pile next door, I carefully pulled in front of their house in order to reverse into my driveway. Having not noticed the rest, I proceeded to drive over two turds, and get it all up my drive. Hose pipe out, big yard brush, and stacks of Anglo Saxon bywords ! My two front tyres scrubbed, half of my driveway hosed and scrubbed, turds flushed from next doors drive into the gutter and washed down the road, and finally, the pavement hosed and brushed in front of the house. Just what I needed after a traumatic time in town. Oh, and I don't blame the dog. It's the filthy uncouth owners that want their uncivilised squalid noses rubbing into it ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 That's reminded me of when I was young in Hucknall there was a woman who had a quite unpleasant looking little, squashed face dog (pug?) who would stand around while her dog performed its whatevers then took a toilet roll from her bag, wiped its bum and carefully placed the used tissue on top of the steaming pile. Aren't there laws in the UK about dog fouling? Here in France, they are quite strict and there are on-the-spot fines for doggie misdemeanours. I have two dogs and even though I live in what might be described as the back of beyond, I always ensure that we have doggie poo bags with us when we take them out - and we dispose of them properly and not throw them up into trees - which I heard that they do in England. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 There are certain rules, but I don't know if it's a general one, or just pertaining to parks, play areas, and recreation grounds. It's certainly a rule that should apply everywhere, as should spitting in the streets. That REALLY does my head in. I just can't comprehend how folks can be so slovenly. There's certainly been a massive deterioration in manners, self respect, and personal hygiene over the last few decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Quite true FLY, the general demise of standards across society is disgraceful, irrespective of FPNs in Nottm, everyday I see people quite openly throwing their litter on the ground as I walk the Bulwell streets !

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 There was also a brown McDonalds carrier bag, dumped on the pavement across the road the other morning. It's former contents strewn across the pavement. I was going to pick up the bag, and two drinks cups, but I was in a hurry to get out. The following morning after a wild, wet and windy night, the bleddy things were all in my drive. Thanks you chavvy little bar stewards. I hope you get food poisoning next time !
