Another bus etiquette rage-inducer: one empty seat left on the 176 from Waterloo yesterday evening. Politely ask young woman to move her bag. She does so grudgingly and I sit down. A number of stops further on, a ?double seat? becomes empty about four or five rows in front of where we?re sitting. Young woman next to me pointedly puts down her book and stares at it, as if suggesting that I should move there. Sod off ? I?ll decide that, not you. If you have such a loathing of other people using ?your? bus, get a bloody taxi next time.

Cakes (as well as Vapes)


Not so much as cakes themselves, but I heard a guy ask in Rocca yesterday "is this cake homemade?"


Really, in Rocca or near anywhere else, and it doesn't take much to figure out there's a cake-making-of-some-magnitude type supplier out there, knocking out frikkin cakes for restaurants


And they're very good at it


Shut up will you

People saying "... then you'll just turn around and say", as if people are never actually looking at each other when they speak (or they are but then turn away [or all the way around] before they speak in reply).

Shite use of language.

People that race down the tube escalator stairs at 100mph, right up behind you while you are walking down, then stamp and sign loudly even though you're doing a decent 80mph yourself.

Especially when you're only like 6fr from the bottom of the escalator anyway.

Just FO and do one.

The person on crutches going down a flight of stairs in front of me the other day at Clapham junction station who decided to text on his phone at the same time,,. Madness and couldn't he have waited until he was securely at the bottom of the stairs and out of the way of the rush hour crowd... Grrrrrr

Coming home from a tiring shift on a helpline late last night, unlocking my bike in Brixton only to realise from the slimy feel of the D-lock that someone had vomited all over it.


This was shortly after a silly, attention-seeking girl had been pestering me all the way up from the platform to amuse her equally pointless mates.


Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Brixton.

I'm really sure I wouldn't file that under "Tiny Little Things". I'd file that under 'Utterly Revolting Things".

In a way the helpline shift did make me realise even at the time that it was superficial, transient stuff, but revolting's certainly the word. Also annoying that the cleaning spray has taken the surface off the shiny bits of the bike. Oh well, at least I know it's clean.

Ordered flowers to be delivered to someone with very specific request NOT to include any flowers of a certain colour.


Recipient sends me pics of bouquet and florist has included a few in this colour. Raging.


Was thinking of posting some colour charts to them...but I'm over it now :))

Barbecues. Should be banned in built-up areas.


Also my new swimming goggles, which are trying to suck my eyes out while somehow leaking at the same time. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but now worried I look like a victim of domestic violence.

This one is ok! I've been playing it for about a month now. Sadly, not won owt. Yet.

(That has my ref code on it. Hope that's OK.)

uncontrolled, unchecked, uncovered, uninhibited, unsanitary, unhinged sneezing, on public transport, in close proximity, in a queue, at the next table, wherever.


"In my day" we were required to have a clean white handkerchief on leaving the house, then pack of tissues, and why do people use a tissue or hanky then shove it up their sleeve or in a pocket?


If people included in their morning ritual/routine, a stout blowing of the nose, I am convinced there would be less sneezing, less airborne germs, obviously, and less colds and coughs transmitted.


Who remembers the poster in their doctors waiting room, stating : "coughs and sneezes spread diseases - trap your germs in a handkerchief"


This should be on all public transport and railway/tube stations.


If spitting at someone is a common assault, why isn't sneezing?

For the avoidance of doubt, it's the expression which causes my rage, not the actual lottery.

    • Agree but not so great for the independently owned cafes shops etc.
    • My husband goes to the newish one near the Watchpolisher on Lordship Lane.(sorry cant remember name-) I can assure you they're not 'fake'  He started going there because his excellent long-term barber had to rent a chair there when the shop he used to work from in Forest Hill closed. I think one needs to be careful when making statements like that above as it can damage reputable buisnesses. Also I should add the Barbers I mention always seems to be busy
    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • 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!
