Idiotic parking - here's a good example:

To the crusher with them...

If my brother remembers, I can beat this hands down. Same place, left hand disabled bay occupied legitimately, right hand one with a workman's van in it, parked at such a lazy angle that the driver of the other bay couldn't get into their car even if they wanted to. He reported them.

Duracell alkaline batteries! When they get to the end of their life they leak big time. They have almost destroyed very valuable items when I've forgotten where I installed them. I'm sick of them. Never had a leakage problem with similar freebee single use batteries from Panasonic or Toshiba, just Duracell.

Some years ago I ditched single use AA/AAA batteries and went the rechargeable route. Now replacing those with Panasonic Eneloop Pro rechargeable's and they're excellent

There was a time when Duracell promised to pay for anything their leakage damaged.
Not Anymore.

Yep, those were the days. I'm not sure about Energizer but I'd never buy another Duracell product again.

The Mountain Rescue team I am a member of moved away from Duracell years ago, we now have an arrangement with Varta which are excellent.

Thanks Al, that's worth noting for future reference

If you can find them they are brilliant alkaline batteries

And here it is:


Might be the worst piece of parking I have ever seen.

I'm sure I've nominated this before, but people who occupy the overtaking lane and are not 'using' it. I know it's not the end of the world, but those who wish to dawdle shouldn't condemn others to the same fate!

The common cold.

 

[WayneKerr]

Looking out of my lounge window over the last week and the amount of blokes walking past wearing a thick top coat, cos it's flippin' cold, and ruddy shorts! Are these people mad? Even women have more sense and wear trews in this weather!

There's a guy at our local who wears a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops pretty much all year round. But his insulation is self-contained, if you catch my drift!

Have come to expect permanent shorts on postmen.
But I've been surprised at the amount of blokes walking round Tesco in T shirts and shorts....when I'm just about comfortable in layers + a coat.

People who make it their purpose in life, to get offended by anything and everything, just because they can and, especially if it spoils things for other people.

Gary Lineker.

From far away, don´t understand some english people and their "hate" for Gary Lineker (assuming you´re english).

 

[WayneKerr]

Because he's a greatly overpaid and overrated football pundit who happens to work for an unbiased television network. He should keep his biased and small-minded political opinions to himself, he gets paid over £1million a year to comment on football, nothing else. There is a growing general dislike for this opinionated idiot in the UK.

See the previous post for your answer.
If you were English you might understand....especially if your licence fee contributed to his salary.

It's do-gooders like him that are ruining Britain.

He is the highest paid 'talent' at the BBC and plenty of us wish they'd sack him for his tweets.

Sorry for jumping in Gray, I think we share a common dislike for this so called 'talent'.
