after all the years of suffering being called a miserable old bar-steward by mrs zz , I am finally rejoicing that she has come round to my way of thinking. the source of this wonderment?... a newly found joint loathing of the foul phenomenon of otherwise seemingly intelligent individuals starting a sentence with the word "so"!!!! if you have been asked , "how do you propose to re-attach that button"? , or , "what method would you use to distribute seed in your garden" , fair enough but otherwise , nooooooooooo! other current hot favourites are "yoofs" with their kecks hanging out the top of their trousers and newly qualified drivers with a green p plate (clearly designating pillock) who refuse to commit to crossing a roundabout without having received a written invitation at least a fortnight in advance! what gets your hackles up?

Ah well here we are allowed to pass on the left like the US. So what we get are right lane hogs but if traffic permits we just go around them.

I'll just loiter a while before being publicly grumpy as some may not translate.

Good link DJ. Not so grumpy now I've read that. I was going to do a moan about the neighbours damn cat using our back lawn as his toilet but that seems quite petty now. Nice pussy.

^ Wot you need is some lion poo. Keeps those pesky cats away. I just made lots of noise with power tools until the neighbor moved away and took his cat with him. That and the wife's Chihuahua and the cat had a disagreement!

Reversing ones too and those electric carts at the airport aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrk aaarrrk bit like a sick frog

Here we have the dignified high pitched and slow reversing beep beep beep.

I tried to find but couldn't the Billy Connolly routine where he discusses the fact that trucks have a beep-beep-beep on the back to prevent injury when they are travelling at 2 mph in reverse but no warning when they are travelling a 70mph forward, which is obviously more dangerous.

No probs, Mike. I felt sorry for the poor guy who had to drive those airport terminal buggys around with that noise continuously rasping.
