...that pesky yellow rape is also turning the nations honey "white" ( if you see any at a country fair, sniff it & generally it has a wiff of brasica about it ) however, the honey produced in areas of London is some of the best in the Country

It?s got something to do with intensive crop rotation and not allowing stubble fields to dry out.


Anyway I think that?s what they were getting at in a programme I saw about how the lack of stubble fields in the countryside is effecting birdlife but I could be completely wrong.




While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day

And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue

When walking along a quiet street yet the only other person for miles is walking just ahead of me and at the same pace. I have to either cross the road. Or stop and let them get ahead. Or accelerate to a warp speed walk and overtake. But I cant walk just behind them. What is the correct etiquette in this situation?

MrBen..



.. just tread on the back of their foot, enough for the heel to come out of the shoe


Then mumble a lame "Sooooo sorry" and be on your way, sharpish


Leaving them in a "Rage" all of their own



Oh yeah "Turn the tables" I say


"See how they like it, Eh....eh "

Coward of the fricking County, and the fact that it's so doggone catchy.


Now I love a song with a story, and plenty enough country songs do have a story, but here Kenny's singing away, jolly as you like, about a bloke who doesn't get into fights because his dad told him not to from prison or something. So some local types gang rape his girlfriend (presumably because they know he won't do nuthin about it) and then he finds his backbone and sorts them out.


I KNOW it's a fiction, but for fuck's sake Kenny, do you have to sound so fucking happy about it, and why the fuck does a woman have to get gang raped for CotC to find his cojones? Couldn't they just have run over his faithful dog or set fire to his corn or something.


Oh it makes me really fucking angry.

Supermarkets


Why is it that the trolley you put your pound in is always one with a broken wheel?


Why is there NEVER any of the ?10 meal deals in M&S anywhere at ANY time?


Asda trolleys on the Old Kent Road that lock if you park in an Asda parking space on the other side of the road and the b@st@rd wheels lock so you end up having to take all the bags out and carry them to your car.


Sainsburys at Dog Kennel Hill, if you go into Starbucks why do you end up holding the door open for 50 people coming out with trolleys? I want a coffee not to be a Commissionaire, if I did I'd wear a uniform. And why do only 50% of them say thank you?


Waiting in the queue at the check out to purchase something and someone with a purse waits until they are told how much it is going to cost. Then they take what seems like ten minutes beggaring about with receipts, lottery tickets, keys and other flotsam and jetsam before they find some change. Then they count out their change to find that they don't have sufficient and go throught the same rigmarole to get some notes.

WHY DON'T THEY GET SOME NOTES OUT TO BEGIN WITH?


Serving yourself at the self check outs when it bleats "unrecognised item in bagging area", you feel like shouting "I've not put anything in the bagging area you stupid machine". Having to have random items verified for no reason whatsoever.


NO I DON'T NEED HELP PACKING thank you.


People standing about in front of a shelf/fridge/chiller cabinet. You clearly know what you want and yet they don't so they avoid making eye contact with you even though they know you are there and fail to get out of the way.


Why do people in tiny cars take forever to park them? Even then they make a pigs ear of it and end up dinging your door when they get out as they can't get the damn Uno or Toyota IQ in the middle of the bay.


Taking children shopping for groceries. Just don't do it. EVER. And DON'T let them run around like it's a bl@sted playground.


People on mobiles as they pay the staff. STOP IT.


Waiting to until the fishmongers section is really busy to ask if the Tuna is Line caught in a humane, organic, holistic dolphin friendly fashion.


I feel better now. Thank you. Until the next grocery shop.

Good point. Very very rude.


Phones in general are rude with regard to interrupting conversations. You wouldn't accept being interrupted like that in person but should you fail to answer your phone the caller will later have a pop at you for not picking up. And you'll apologise.

LOL!


I'm not sure that Shenzhen is smoggy coz of smokers charliecharlie.


I think it's because of the cars that people drive, the cheap consumer rubbish they buy and the energy they burn.


The majority of these people are non-smoking westerners.


And they have the bloody nerve to complain about smokers? Makes me irrationally angry. Hypocritical blangers!!

Gee, Huguenot, a whinge about my whinging on a 'tiny little things that cause you irrational rage' thread. You really do love me, don't you?


And for the record, no I won't just start whinging about something else. I just don't like breathing in cigarette smoke. I don't push for it to be banned, I don't think the law should be changed (again), and I genuinely feel sorry for smokers, given the laws against smoking in a lot of places. But I don't like walking behind someone in a garden, near a fountain and breathing in cigarette smoke. Is that so unreasonable?

Haha Moos, I'm with you on this one. The irrational part of mine is that, when I've washed my hair in the morning, I somehow think that my lovely clean delicious smelling hair is more likely to soak up the dirty dirty cigarette smell.


It's weird, smoking doesn't bother me at any other time, but when I've washed my hair, it makes me really quite cross.

Moos, don't you have a tiny, tiny regard for the very few hardy souls who smoke in kids' playgrounds in the park? The way they stand there apparently oblivious to the ill disguised hatred poring onto them from 99% of their fellow play park usesr is actually quite noble.
Quids I do indeed - and the rational part of me thinks that the laws against smoking have gone quite far enough. But sometimes the irrational, specifically the selfish, part of me rises up and thinks Gah! why can't my environment be perfect and entirely to my liking?!

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals. The recent BBC expose confirms this  barbers and vape shops suspected of being fronts for crime gangs - BBC News  
    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
