I'm off work this morning waiting for pest control (mice.........again). I'm now bored so I'm posing trivial facts questions from this thread to Alexa (Amazon Echo) and she's having the temerity to disagree with some of them!

Thanks for that thought which I now can't unthink!

In my opinion its much easier to fill the car on the "wrong" side anyway. You can see the pump reading much easier without craning your neck and youre not squished up between the car and the pump.

Pump queueing drives me insane!!! What is wrong with these people? And PIN numbers ..........dont even get me started. I actually want to cut people. I love this thread though I feel better already just reading posts about stuff.

As I left this evening I had 270 of the bu&&ers in my inbox. Each and every stupid member of the stupid admin team this morning said "Is anyone else getting these test.........." at which point I had to bellow "JUST DELETE!". By 10.00am we had pretty much twigged what had happened so I couldn't believe the amount of idiots who carried on replying throughout the day. I've just checked my mail and people are still replying.

My youngest was stopped recently (young bloke, Corsa, recently passed). The copper seemed determined to nail him. "I thought you took that last roundabout a bit fast do you know what speed you were doing?". "Yes 30mph definitely cos I've got a black box fitted so I'm careful not to speed". He then went through the whole is this your car, insured, MOTd, licence ok blah blah all of which he already knew the answer to. Then he said he was going to check the database in his car to check "you are not your brother" to which my son replied "you crack on mate". Having established he was who he said he was he then moved on desperately to "when I first stopped you I noticed you touch your right hand pocket. Is there anything I should know?" By this time Dan is seriously P&%$£d off and replies "listen mate you can see my possessions on the seat next to me, wallet, fags and lighter and you have stopped me under the Road Traffic Act. I will however submit to a search if that's what you really want". The copper finally gave up and said "ok on your way".

Surely full beam plus foglights is the correct way

Gah this drives me insane. It must be autopilot, not one part of their brain is paying any attention to driving. Worse than this for me is a local single carriage way. The speed limit is 60. There are two speed cameras on it between our town and the next. On a daily basis I am travelling behind a driver who sees the camera and SLAMS on the brakes and slows down to either 40 or worse 30. How did these people pass the test?

Silly but was proud of my fellow man today. A lady lost her 5 year old in a car park (one of those industrial estate shopping places). She ran shouting her boy's name in a panic. Everyone to a man started spreading out in different directions, running into shops to alert those with walkie talkies, all areas covered, everyone looking and shouting his name. Little boy was found thank goodness.

That's no mutt. He's beautiful

Very very good hopefully?

lol

Really lovely

I agree the with you on the camden market food it is excellent. Love the selling chant: "Wa u wan? I got vegtible spwing woll. You wan pwawn?"

It's stopped here too

Love it

In the 80s I worked for the Performing Right Society. Adam Ant (Stuart Goddard) visited our Head Office regularly. He would arrive unannounced never expecting any red carpet treatment. Always friendly and unassuming he would never leave without making time to pop in to all the different admin offices, have a chat and a laugh, sign records etc. No other artist did this and we all respected him greatly.

So funny the things you hear on a busy high street. "Does your Brian read Margaret?" "Yes" ....................... "But not books" Lol

wrinkle nose storms out on reporter querying if Manchester clubs are struggling in Europe

It IS very interesting and not at all trivial!!! How exciting. That has cheered up my really boring weekend no end. Congratulations ............. (I assume you said yes ) xx

Kenny and Ginger turn your chairs around and face the wall until then end of the lesson!

Happy birthday little amh. My youngest is 20 next year. What freaks me out is when one of my mates says "My baby will be 42 on friday"

Thanks Jon. I know I dont share my taste in music with anything ever posted on here but I like that cover even though its old
