Grumpy Old Men/Women & Room 101

[DiddlyDodds]

After watching both of these recently and agreeing with almost everything on them , i thought i would put down one of my gripes and moans.

1. Newsreaders who have to tell us their names as the news starts, i am truly not interested in their names, they are there to read the news , everyone seems to want to be a celebrity these days.

What is your daily moan.

Don't get me started...

Theres not enough storage space on the internets for my list of moans ( according to Mrs pplpilot )

I am peeved that the UK state pension does not start at 59 and is not £10k for a single person!


(I am 59 and could retire on £10k p.a.)

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I'm really not expecting there to be a state pension by the time I retire.

My pet peeve is my husband cycling way too close to me and running into the back of me... it's not like you can even slip stream a recumbent trike!

The length of the ad breaks on ITV4. The only good bit is when they are occasionally interrupted by some bike race or other.

The amount of stalk on broccoli, why pay for something you cut off and throw in the bin!

A friend of mine does that and it's fecking annoying... especially when he starts to growl whenever i brake, as if I'm in the wrong. It not as if there's any slip stream the speeds i ride at!

throw it in the pan/steamer instead

 

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

Rolling 24hr news aimed squarely at the lowest common denominator. In fact all things that are dumbed down to appeal to the sprawling clueless masses. If it's too complicated for them (and possibly me) and the clueless can't be arsed to educate themselves about it, then tough.

He ran into the back of me today when I slowed to shoulder check to double check what a car was doing on the wrong side of the road. Said car had just come out of a driveway, and there was a long line of parked cars on the opposite side of the road with several oncoming vehicles coming towards me. I'm just about to get to the first of the parked cars, there enough space for me and the oncoming cars without issue, but the last thing I expected said car that had just come out of a driveway to be doing was to stop and park up on the other side of the road adding themselves to the line of vehicles the oncoming car has to overtake. Just me shoulder checking to see what was going on caused him to run into me! Words were said by a stony silence!

Why are you not eating it?
There is just as much nutrition in the stalk (and flavour) as there is in the flower head (which is what it is).

Yes and particularly the plank that keeps eating the large chunk of wasabi 37 times a day.
