I'm telling you they are! ;-)



The rubber at the end of your pencil breaking off and shooting across the room mid erase.

It's probably been commented on elsewhere, but people who park so that they take up at least two places.


Guy parked up in my road last week near the disabled parking bay, but just far enough away from it for another car to not be able to fit in. One foot further back and you'd have managed to get another car in. Then he didn't move it for a week (I know it was a guy, as I saw him park up). Was sorely tempted to put a note on his car to ask him to park more considerately, but haven't quite got that bad yet, so just fumed a bit instead... but if he does it again!

Being asked if I'm from the North or the South.

Answering 'the midlands', I'm then asked,'is that in the North or the South'?

I then try and explain that parts of the South are more northerly than parts of the North and vice versa of course.

People tend to give up then and my rage subsides without even mentioning the East and the West.

I remember Candid Camera when I think Bernard Braden was doing it in the 60s. One person stood in the middle of nowhere, another joined and another and another until the queue was miles long and no-one had any idea what they were queuing for.

They urk me too.


But i'm restored by the knowledge that they will leave that dreadful thing on a train/in a bar, after a few refreshing drinks.


We are but temporary guardians of umbrellas.

    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
    • Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
    • It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
    • My 6 ft 2 son has just pulled his hamstring at an athletics competition & is in his way home in an uber from north London.  Would be great if anyone has any crutches we could borrow this afternoon?..  thank you so much if so!   Sorted now thanks
