And then they compound it by sending you a leaflet with your water bill telling you how to conserve water by making sure your sprinklers are properly adjusted...:mad::banghead:

Yes they do. ;). What is worse, it's reclaimed water and smells like a public toilet after the Notting Hill Carnival. Has all these signs saying Reclaimed Water - Do Not Drink From Sprinklers.

But fine to shower pedestrians in though. :thumbdown:

Thems fightin' words.

I nearly added a rant about how cycle lanes end without warning or push cyclists into traffic and dumb "share the road" signs when they can't be arsed to put a cycle lane in. Which annoy me equally as a driver or cyclist.

Funny you should mention smell.
I opened a can of these last weekend and the smell made my wife gag and almost puke.
I never for the life of me knew my wife hated the smell of mushy peas. Now i have another weapon in my arsenal :cool:
They went well with my sausage roll, chips and baked beans.

I hate it when someone writes a very enthusiastic thank you note, and you can't tell if they are being sarcastic or not.

Aye i know a lot of people like that but the only thing I like with my fish and chips is salt and vinegar. There are some things in life which shouldn't be messed with :nod:

i can't even sit at the same table as my dad who has mushy peas and salad cream with his :ohmy: :sick:
