30 minutes!? Tapes!? Gosh, one would need to plan some time in advance for that.

When wearing lycra I normally go for the full 180 - is this sooo wrong?

The number 40 bus - the recording of that woman with nasal voice announcing at each and every flipping bus stop, "BUS STOPPING AT NEXT BUS STOP, PLEASE STAND CLEAR OF DOORS".


I can't decide if it's 1) her nasal whine, 2) her stating of the utter obvious, or 3) the fact she has omitted a "THE" before "doors" that upsets me the most.


I have not ventured on that bus for over a year now because I used to twitch for hours after hearing her dulcid tones...

why my cat thinks it's ok to stand in front of my computer monitor watching the cursor with it's arse in my face


why it always chucks it down on the school run


why do I always want to eat cake when I know it makes me fat


why do I always find a cold, wet, heavy sponge thing in the kitchen sink and have to squeeze it dry euugh


why is the bloody shoe shop in the village always rammed when I go in there


why are there slugs


oh i have so many that I have become one

Security gaurds in Boots, Fleet Street and Tesco Metro in ED.


I am not a thief, but every time I walk into these shite holes the security guards seem to jump into action and proceed to follow me round the frigging shop.


When I started to follow THEM about the shop they go all hot under the collar. What is it with these people?


Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes Mad World, security always follows me around in Boots. Always. Makes me nervous.

Hey, that's me. Careful Keef, I've barely had a chance to recover from that pop you had at the Pixies.


I don't tut people in the supermarket though (God bless Ocado).

The person who brushes their obviously very matted jet black hair in the changing rooms (Fusion every Monday, first thing) and leaves it all over the floor for the rest of us to get tangled up in. Please stop, it?s making me go insane.


Also men who can't cross the road properly.

Deaf parents, who permit their offspring to scream continuously for attention, whilst ignoring their psycho-decibel brats in our supermarket.


People who get on buses and trains and insist on eating pungent food which stinks the whole place out 10 stops after they have left.


People er slobs who travel on public transport who are nasally challenged, and cannot detect that they need a bath/shower or wash.


Ignorant self absorbed back packers, who attempt to rip your face off with said pack, when turning in the isles of buses trains etc.


Gits who bellow loudly when they are standing/sitting/walking next to each other, when we can hear them across the road, supermarket carpark, or airport runway.

    • @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?    
    • There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.
    • A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944
    • Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
