Ok, I'm bored and it's raining so here goes:

I can't stand:

After two glasses of Jack Daniels
After one teaspoonful of Cahors vin rouge
Cleaning my wretched windows EVERY time it rains in case someone comes to view the place
People who come to look at my immaculate flat and say "have you been burgled?"
Monaco - took 8 pictures there, every one of em had a crane in it
Hearing my French friends raving on about sipping wine on terrasse in temps of 80 degrees when here it is piddling down AGAIN and I'm wearing a coat
Maps without contours - how the HELL can you plan a cycle ride without going up hills?
Packing - it's driving me NUTS
People on ebay who outbid you in the last 8 seconds (shoot em all I say)
Myself sometimes, for not being more tolerant

That'll do for now.

Feeling better already!

Andy (in a very wet and windy Devon)

Oh, have thought of another one:

I can't stand:

That bloody little phrase under my name on here that says "Senior Member" - makes me feel 100 and bloody 3 years old, and as if I need incontinence pads.

How do I change that?

Hi,
Click on My Profile at top left of page, then edit profile on left hand side and there is the bit where you change the custom user title.

You old fart.

Andrea50

Right, here goes nuthin ..............

(lol - old fart!!!!!!!!!!)

You wait ............ I'll think of an answer for that - shame we don't do smellograms .............................

Andrea50

Right, I should have a new one now.

Oh, and I can't stand know-it-alls, but Damn, they are useful sometimes.

Andrea50

So, it didn't work and now:

I can't stand

RUDDY COMPUTERS EITHER

jdr

Second box down, but don`t forget to scroll down and click "save changes" ;-)

Andrea50

Oops, clicked the wrong box.

Cant put that I can't stand idiots, cos I am one.

Drat.

treskillard

Yes it did or are you talking about smellograns

Andrea50

LMAO

Have you ever seen "dinnerladies" that thing with Victoria Wood about a canteen? Julie Walters (LOVE her) plays her mum Petula and she is always walking around farting - sorry to lower tone, (slapped wrist) but this did make me think of that.

treskillard

people claiming that the Cathars were spiritual masters of something or other :curse:

val50

OMG you mean to say they're not

Andrea50

Don't worry Val, I thought Cathars were those things they put in you if you can't wee properly after an operation .....................

As someone once said on here:

"Matron, the SCREENS!!!!!!!!!!!!"

val50

have to admit I've dealt with quite a few of those over the years - the best bit was pulling them out, especially if you had some leary old fart to deal with

Andrea50

LMAO, you wicked woman, you! What a hoot, perhaps I should have been a nurse then could have got my own back on Taxmen, Solicitors, Traffic Wardens, Loan-shark style Banks, jumped-up Politicians and other ne'er do wells. Rock on to that.

Sure does hurt when stuff is pulled out, I never had a cathar-whatsit removed, but did have two drains pulled out, one from behind each ear, last year when I had a facelift and OH BROTHER did that hurt. In true "Anglaise" stiff upper lip and all that, never made a sound, but the nurse said I went a funny colour ............

Oh and that brings me neatly back to "I can't stand ........"

Flaming South West Water, as they have been charging me for my neighbour's water for over 18 months, and she has been paying mine.

Don't know who uses most, but I am expecting an horrendous top-up bill, just as I am needing every penny to move to France. Grrrr.

BLOODY UTILITY COMPANIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably not much better in France but couldn't be much worse methinks ...............:curse:
