Re: Room 101
Id like to put the following to the Oracle for consideration:
Sods Law - I am fed up with it. I hate it.

Traffic lights change when I am in a rush.
The bubs nappy leaks poo all over my suit just as I am about to go to work.
Someone else posts a witty response to a thread that I was about to use.
Adverts for Womans Day (et al)The bubs nappy leaks poo all over my suit just as I am about to go to work.

Really, do I care that Brad was caught shagging a hamster by Angelina, or that some reality tv "star" has toe cheese or whatever. NO I DO NOT (in case you were wondering!).
Dodgy ParkingPeople who park badly in shopping centre car parks. Offenses can range from taking up two spaces with one car, parking right up to one side of the space so you cannot park next to them and actually get out of the car. The sods who think that because there are no spaces left it is ok to park at the end of a row, making the roadway that much narrower and forcing you to do a 3 point turn just to get round the corner.
Oh, and maybe most importantly, people who park in disabled or child places when they blatantly shouldn't. epitomising the "I'm alright Jack - everyone else can go to hell" attitude.
Phew - Thats me done!

I have now fully (more or less) regained control of my spelling and punctuation faculties.
Even the hangover's starting to go.
How's you?

Animal abusers are in.
2) Yes, yes, yes. I already dealt with his "restaurants". I have to admit that I have purchased a "Happy Meal" (note I didn't say that I consumed it). But whilst I was there, in a slightly less than sober state, I happened upon Mr McDonald, or DoRonRon as we called him. He was sat upon a bench looking all jolly with his arm casually slung out like a friednly fellow. But I could see he wasn't all pure and innocent, there was something about him that told me he was waiting, anticipating, choosing his next victim.
Ronald McDonald is in.
3) Spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam. It's great with eggs, bacon and sausages. Nothing wrong it it at all. Get yourself a spam blocker thingy.

Re: Room 101
My 3, for what it's worth.
1. People who deface/vandalise books and magazines in public libraries. Our local one here is the worst for it I have ever seen.
2. Sheep-people who can't think for themselves and follow the crowd, or follow a chosen leader.
3. All of the "bullsh*t" industries : Estate Agencies, Recruitment Consultancies, Sales, Politics etc.

2. People who sit in the outside lane and are UNDER the speed limit
reason: they have no frickin need to be there and it just pisses people off
3. Jehovahs Witnesses coming to my door
reason: cause i cant stand them, i dont want people forcing there religious beliefs upon me, if i was interested, i would go to them and ask, and they always come when your in the middle of doing something, like making dinner or just out the shower, hair drippin wet etc etc

2) Yeah, don't you just hate them. Here's what to do, toot your horn, flash your lights, shake your fist then if that doesn;t work, overtake them on the inside and give them a friendly finger wave as you pass. Works all the time for the hoons passing me by.
3) Tedious aren't they? A bit like having people ask you the same question over again.

Having had less than five hours sleep (and being someone who averages about 9 a night usually), I feel suprisingly well. Now that the headache and the shaking has stopped.
I was going to ask how Noah's going? And how J's doing?

2) Being a bloke, like your good self, I fail to see what is so interesting about the life of someone I'm never likely to meet. But if it's keeps the women folk happy, who are we to judge? It's the same with tabloids. They're only there because people like to have something intersteing to talk about whilst they're getting their hair cut.
3) Didn't we already do something on parking? Oh that was herrchook with one more issue than was necessary. She almost caught me out as I remember starting to type a response before I realised and then deleted what I had typed. Anyway the point in hand is that there are quite clearly marked parking bays and signs indicating who can park there. If people can't follow simple things like this then they should be named and shamed.
Parking pillocks are in.

the boy is doing good, although his waking/sleeping/eating/crying patterns (or lack of) are taking their toll on his mum
we're got our citizenship ceremony tomorrow, so I've got the day off, hoping for a lie in and maybe a chance to enjoy a glass of something fruity in the afternoon
