Old Frightful Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 When you stay at old people's houses and they start banging Surely you don't begrudge them that rare bit of pleasure? It's what the lady gets up to after taking her false teeth out and the noises that incurs that would concern me. "When I saw the Pistols and The Clash I realised it didn't seem that difficult, they didn't seem like they could play very well either, so the thing was to form a band then work it out. We didn't even know who was going to play what - we passed around all the instruments until we found what we were comfortable with. I wasn't comfortable with any of them so I became the singer." Terry Hall on forming The Specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why did you endure it? As an engineer, surely you understand the concept of the 'off' button? As to your opinion of the two 'phonies', I can only concur.

hindle xiii Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I detested Michael McIntyre. Now I just avoid everything he appears on. Partly because I'm afraid I'll laugh once and find out it wasn't that bad. I can't risk that in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark S Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Tills in busy shops that seem to be there for decoration only. Or busy bars with one poor sod serving whilst a manager counts the money behind the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C H Calthrop Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Positive rant. Why aren't there more shops like Wilkinsons. I popped in last week bought razor blades, batteries, de-icer, woodglue and some light bulbs in less than 5 mins. I was in then out. No one with trolleys of goods just hand baskets it blends the DIY centre with the supermarket with the car shop and probably a number of others. Common sense shopping experience in the high st and not housed in a grey metal and breezeblock warehouse in some outskirts car park wilderness.

The problem with finding an example of good service is that it makes you see how poor service is elsewhere.

After my last visit to Wilkinson's I am now banned by Mrs Moose from shopping there unless accompanied by a responsible adult. I'd nipped in for some batteries and thirty minutes later, feeling rather pleased with myself came out of the store clutching not only the batteries but a ball of garden twine, a packet of broad beans seeds, (I hate broad beans) a tin of paint and, what I thought was a very reasonably priced set of stepladders. Mrs Moose was not impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 When I went to the England v Australia match at the Olympic stadium, because of train cancellations, and replacement buses mysteriously disappearing it took me 4.5 hours to get from Stratford to Hastings. The following day I put a Delay Repay form in, but only today did I get a reply, saying they will begin to look into it. Aren't Southern Rail already in enough trouble without P***ing off paying passengers even more? Just Repay my damn fare, and forget about it, like you do with everyone else, as long as you get the franchise fees, you make a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Moose was not impressed! This is the essence of Wilkinsons it appeals to those who say "I can do" rather than "I'll get a man in to do". But most of the things you buy there will go completely unnoticed by women even if you stored them on the coffee table, you can continue with your guilty pleasure with complete security. And it allows you to purchase many of the things you need from Boots but without all the nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you book with and travel with Virgin West Coast they process the Delay Repay automatically and put the money straight back into your bank within 7 days without you having to do a thing yourself.

Mumby Magic Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 People posting on Facebook, 2 things. 1) Posting photos showing them having "fun". What denotes fun and is it really fun walking in the rain with a dog covered in mud? 2) Posting pictures of food. It'll go cold whilst you're pratting around taking a picture plus I don't care about what you are eatingas much as you care about what I am having. And if you put "nom nom nom" on it I will find you, I pray I will find you.................... Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Its what we're good at...That's the trouble, people think they are good at moaning but their not. Good moaning takes ages to learn. When I was young I was taught moaning by people who really could do it. Todays moaners are only playong at it. Their not fit to lace the boots of the old school. Proper moaning that was Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
