People buying those neck pillow things for flying. Conning themselves. An hour maximum into the flight it’s on the floor or in their bag because all it’s done is irritate them. You see some families walking through airports looking like buckaroo, with things to try and bring them optimal comfort and it’s all a waste of time and money.

That's because everyone wears them the wrong way round, so all they do is push your neck and upper-back forward so it is no longer supported by the seat. You are supposed to wear them with the wide part under your chin (to stop your head lolling forward), but no-one does, so no-one gets on with them!

I took an eight week mindfulness therapy course earlier this year. It's genuinely been a huge help and I definitely feel happier, less minded to hold grudges, and more optimistic.

However. No amount of mindfulness, no amount of therapy, will ever be able to abate or quell the searing, ethereal hatred I have for people who walk slowly side-by-side on a narrow path. If you branded the word HATE onto every atom in the known universe, it would not add to one one-billionth of the amount of hatred I have for them.

100% with you there about slow walkers with no awareness of how they're holding others up.

If I ever exceed 20 mph on my bicycle the song 'Breaking the Law' (the Motorhead version) starts playing in my mind.

This happens even in a 30mph zone as I imagine what might happen if I was in Wales.

I can relate to this when leaving the supermarket checkout & find myself behind someone slowly plodding along whilst reading their receipt

A gentle nudge in the back of their legs with your trolley is allowed & should be encouraged

It's the disbelief really either way,the look of disgust at the meager amount of food per tenner spent or the size/weight of said product for a set fee trying to hold the price,in all aspects it's a rip-off, may as well try that dog food as someone mentioned it in a tweet today,is that right .

Noticed this with watermelons. The ones you buy in the shop are very expensive for something about the size of your head. In Greece they cost far less and are about 3 times the size.

Weather related nonsense or something I'd imagine, the usual coverall if they even bother to make a statement?

Not at all, only on phone through central London or maybe on the continent for me, which does the job as I need.
It's the switching off cognitively I object too.

They are great for finding the right place at the end of the journey - some like my bike one is very clever with speed cameras and alternative routes with traffic

I like to use my satnav out of spite to see what it thinks is the best route and time and then I go a different way and do it quicker.

Basically the car's a prick, and it knows I think this which is why the lane correction and collision detection selectively kick in at awful times and give me the impression the car is actually trying to kill me.

I use it if I drive down for our games mainly to give me an ETA, warn me of congestion or if I need to take a diversion. I use Google maps as it is on my phone & it seems to be programmed to go the shortest possible route so will try & navigate me through back streets rather than stay on the main road.

It's purely down to where the stories are coming from. Their people are generally in Coventry and Birmingham, I know for a fact that a lot of stories are produced in Coventry even if not filmed there

Okay don't wanna keep going back to the well on this one but I nearly ran some poor Chinese kid over today. This was turning right at the junction from Mile Lane (little park street police station) to join the ring road. This lad was walking out into the first lane near the slip road to the police station. Looking the completely wrong way just bewildered. I work for the Uni and I wish there was somewhere I can report this to because some poor sods gunna get run over.

I had to pick my daughter up from uni last night, she is in Derby. I left the house at 5pm , took the m6 , m69 and M1 took the grand total for nearly 3 and a half hours { traffic was at a standstill at Leicester services apparently there was an accident } . Then on the way back the exit to come back to Coventry was closed off it was kicking the arse out of 10pm when we got home

NatWest - sending me a carbon footprint report and ways to cut down on my carbon footprint. I can't help but think this will be adopted by all companies soon and before you know it, we'll have a social credit score.

Depressing isn't it. Highly intrusive that your bank is monitoring what you spend and basing a measurement on a complete load of bollocks too. I use cash as much as possible.

You'll be charged dependant on it.
I've certainly realised that we Humans are just providing a harvest to our master's and the the technology we're implementing is to pen us all in.
I just wonder what do we actually make/produce,not much is the answer I guess it was ever thus before in a certain way but not as extreme as it's becoming.it will only become worse it won't matter which party runs it

We’ve been to a few now where people go in, record a WankTok of themselves in front of the screen as the film starts to say they went, then leave.

Fucking weird.
