Things that have bothered you for a long time.

Why do blind people wear dark glasses?
(that's a serious question by the way)

Ex colleague can just about discern light with his eyeballs so they're effectively useless. He's kept them in case advances in stem cell surgery will eventually fix them. They're also a very disturbing sight to his nephews so he wears dark glasses to hide them.

When you can't get any more out with a knife put some ice cream into the jar and eat with a spoon. Also works really well with Nutella.

And marmite

I also wondered this, so I looked it up. Seems obvious now:

To enhance their vision (not all blind people are totally blind)
To protect their eyes from the sun
To protect their eyes from physical dangers (e.g. twigs)
To notify others
Aesthetic reasons

Why not?

D*mn you @classic33, I was about to say that.

Well fancy that
It crossed my mind it'd work with Branston too, but that'd probably be taking things too far.

Sunbathing - do people really enjoy doing it? I have tried it once or twice when I was young, despite having a skin that goes from milk bottle white to lobster red to peeling sheets. Just as well, because I got bored after about five minutes. Are you supposed to enter some zen like state? Is it supposed to be relaxing? Probably didn't help that I tried it on Hove beach, which is a pebbly beach. Yet I understand sunbathing is the thing people fly off to Spain and Greece and Turkey to do.

I enjoy an hour or two sunbathing if its not too hot. It actually can be zen like.
In the 60s/70s a dark tan was considered essential on holiday.

Absolutely love it, one of my favourite pastimes.

People who stand/hover in doorways or at the top/bottom of escalators blocking everyone else's progress. MOVE!
Middle-lane Malcoms and Malcolmesses on Motorways as well.

The extraordinary environmental impact of family pets.

Why is it that I keep checking CC every 5 minutes while in the terminally boring "Training" in the morning, and now I've been away for a bit I have 24 'alerts'.

You all wait until I've gone and then have a party, don't you?

 

[Shearwater Missile]

People who stand and chat in supermarket aisles and don`t shift out of the way automatically. If you say politely "escuse me", they look at you as if it is your fault for being there. Just thought, these could be the same people who block the middle lane on roads.

Pot holes.

They don't get fixed because there's not enough money. Well, if there's not enough money how can they afford a man to uselessly paint white markings around them, only to leave them so long the markings have ling worn off before they are repaired? There's an easy saving right there.

Why is it that all actresses are now actors ? No they are not. They are feminine. The world has gone mad, they`re all mad I tell ye. ( Private Fraser in Dad`s army was right)

'Actress' had a double-meaning, as in the 'actress and bishop'
