I can't stand people that reach right past your nose in the supermarket to grab summat off the shelves. Ram 'em with your trolley is what I say.
I can't stand it when people talk or walk with their mouths full. Yuk and double yuk.
I can't stand tailgating. For a few metres more.

If I was a milkman, doing my rounds, and people ordered milk the night before, but then decided at the point of delivery that they didn't want it, is that any different? Bloody right it's annoying. Especially when we turn folks away because we're supposedly full.

Rant over. I'll be good from now on, I promise!

don't you have their credit card details so you can still charge them?
If the hotels can do that, I don't see why you couldn't

I'm telling you it's bloody Novocastrian - he bought the rain with him
Not a cloud in the sky for weeks till he set foot in the country - now we have a river running down the bottom of the garden where the road used to be
I'm going to see if I can kidnap him and bundle him out of the country tonight
