Me and my wife went to the pictures a while back some woman a few seats down on her phone through the first 25 mins of the film , the wife wouldnt let me say anything, surprisingly no one else said anything eitherOh, gigs, cinema, theatre, basically anything involving an audience have become fucking unbearable. Went to a gig last night and the people behind me were just having a normal-volume conversation that got louder as the gig got louder, I told them to be quiet and they stared blankly at me like they didn't understand what was happening
People make mistakes were not all familiar with every junction / island/lights directional arrow's since they became unstardised, I guess you have to use a GPS nowadays, because they seem to have wanted people's brains to mush like every other app apart from leisure activities and then they still get some value from them.Mum in hospital in different town to where she or I live. Near hospital a van got into wrong lane and was trying to get back (same mistake I had made first day I visited). Three cars didn’t let him back in. I did (understanding his confusion) and driver courteously double flashed his blinkers but car behind impatiently beeped his horn and gesticulated.
Oh and fuckers filming everything as wellOh, gigs, cinema, theatre, basically anything involving an audience have become fucking unbearable.

This is the Football too,in my experience.Oh, gigs, cinema, theatre, basically anything involving an audience have become fucking unbearable.

If loyalty cards didn't benefit the vendor they would not exist. Simple logic.People make mistakes were not all familiar with every junction / island/lights directional arrow's since they became unstardised, I guess you have to use a GPS nowadays, because they seem to have wanted people's brains to mush like every other app apart from leisure activities and then they still get some value from them.

I for instance have had some discussion with my daughter and she doesn't believe me when I say that if I go for a product in a supermarket it will lead to inflated prices if they can tag you to everything you buy, when you buy it and where you buy it,dad but it's convience ,no it isn't it's control via obstacles present to you that they then appear to remove with a discount to the norm of the shop you used to get, even with one I can quote a price increase on that product since I bought regularly recently dropped by ten @% now increased by twenty percent in a matter of week's.
You didn't need a card just ten year's ago,well you had things like nectar,,so they have benefited from reducing that avenue?If loyalty cards didn't benefit the vendor they would not exist. Simple logic.
Cadbury chocolate prices a perfect example of this! Used to be £1-25 for a biggish bar at Sainsbury. Used to buy loads of it! Crept up and now £2-25 and the shelves are always full. They drop it now and again to promote interest then back up to £2-25.People make mistakes were not all familiar with every junction / island/lights directional arrow's since they became unstardised, I guess you have to use a GPS nowadays, because they seem to have wanted people's brains to mush like every other app apart from leisure activities and then they still get some value from them.

You’re ageing quite normally. It doesn’t get any better except we have more time to moan.On the way to work today I gave way to about 5/6 cars not one of them said thanks , doing a bit at work walking along a corridor and moved aside to let a group of people{ my age or older so should know better } past not one thanks.

That would make my blood boil. I guess it would be the right place though?Mum in hospital in different town to where she or I live.

Loyalty cards discriminate against the poor, disabled and busy people. Paying 25% more for the same product is simply unfair on those that don’t have them.If loyalty cards didn't benefit the vendor they would not exist. Simple logic.
Would they thank you if you slammed it in their face?Yes I hold the door open regularly at work Uhcw very rare anyone says thanks the DR’s are the worst.
Honest I am in a right grot today don’t like itYou’re ageing quite normally. It doesn’t get any better except we have more time to moan.
No but they’d be able to put the stitches in themselvesWould they thank you if you slammed it in their face?

Tough day.Honest I am in a right grot today don’t like it
Didn’t help when I gpt to work in tile hill , then was told to go to walsgrave got there and was told to base myself in Longford . I was an hour in the office and was then asked to deliver supplies around the city starting in that’s right the place in tile hill I left earlier , then Whitley then Keresley . Roads are a nightmare , Noticed I was on one bar of petrol the the warning light came on checked my phone and my wonderful wife forgot to tell me she had my cash card thanks fully the mother in law was in so I had to borrow £20 . Then when dropping stuff in keresley my collleague phoned to say could I go on our system to document all the supplies I’d dropped on our system . Bearing in mind I was doing my colleagues a favour and they couldn’t be arsed . So I’ve had to try and remember every item that was delivered to each address like I was a contestant on the fucking generation game ( one for the kids )
Anyway half day Friday
Nothing a dog walk won’t sort outTough day.
Pie and a pint in order on Friday lunchtime for you I thinkNothing a dog walk won’t sort out
I visited New York a few years ago and was really suprised just how friendly people where compared to the UK.It really depends where you are in the world, but I definitely feel like society seems less friendly. Weirdly enough I find in America people are a lot kinder.
I posted a story on another thread recently but I had an eye opening experience not too long ago when I dropped my passport on the Eurostar. I checked my bag and pockets getting off and realised it was missing. Got back on the train franticly trying to find it before the train left, and there it was on the floor completely untouched. There were several people who saw it and didn't bother to say anything.
probably report me tbh.Would they thank you if you slammed it in their face?
Having lived in both London and New York, the latter is definitely friendlier, although I’d be very surprised if there was a higher percentage of English speakers in NYC. Both places can be unforgiving to newbies but I generally find their reputation as cold places is a bit overblown.I visited New York a few years ago and was really suprised just how friendly people where compared to the UK.
Sent to Coventry refers to how people here dont talk to you or even acknowledge you, its a phrase that goes back to the English civil war when prisoners were held in Coventry. But by far the worst place ive been to is London where you may as well be invisible. It doesn't help the situation when so few people there speak English as a first language.
