The-Snowman:
That sicky feeling you get when you put your shoes on without checking inside first and feeling something in thereWhere I live, you soon get used to checking for toads, cockroaches, snake etc.
How anyone in Australia manages to function is a mystery to me. If I lived there, id be a nervous wreck. Checking for spiders under covers, under chairs, in shoes, in slippers, EVERYWHERE!
Yeah that 12+ hours of sunshine must be murder! 
How annoying when you bite the side of your mouth or tongue and it’s too painful to eat .
That urge to scratch the back end but can’t because you are at customers place .
A slight case of Piles or Haemoroids .
When the Renault Magnum first came out, the joke was we could all see the driver scratching his cocunuts being so high up and all that windscreen .
Car drivers doing 38 mph in a 60 mph limit then are totally oblivious to the 45 cars behind the idiots .
The lead car constantly dabs his brakes for no reason , they look like drunk drivers but normally its some old fool that comes out once a month .
Political posters/signs in peoples’ gardens/windows. Why do you think I will vote the same way as you, just because you put a stupid sign in your kitchen window?
People who fall for the travelling tarmac brothers, and then cry to the local press.
These huge shopping malls or outlet malls that everyone flocks to like a seagul after your chips .
Nobody buys anything, they leave with no bags or purchases in their hand .
Cinemas that add up £1.50 extra to see a blockbuster .
I ask why pay more, they say its down to head office in London .
Those 50 odd year old daft bints who “fall in love” with a 20 yr old Turkish waiter, give him their life savings and are then so shocked when it turns out they have been conned and all he wanted was her money and/or he had a fiancee in Turkey all along that they go to the papers or now! magazine and tell their story “to warn others” of what happens and “to stop others making the same mistake I did”.
If they were so stupid to still fall for their patter despite all the previous horror stories (or to think it was actually true love in the first place) what the ■■■■ makes them think spilling THEIR story is going to be the one to make a difference?
James Arthur, he seems to be on the radio with that dreadful song of his every 10 minutes.
Just the grinding sound of his voice is an assault on the ears 
24/48 hour colds.
Woke up yesterday feeling as rough as a bears arse but struggled into work like a trooper.
That bit of phlegm you cough up after half a day on the Benelyn cough syrup, why is it grey and looks like a piece of chewing gum.
That trickle of liquid snot that dribbles down your nose at night and tickles so much it wakes you up.
Anyway youl be glad to know I’m at the ‘■■■■■■’ phase of my cold whereby although I look awful I actually feel great.
October and November is the time for the coffin dodgers to board fleets of coaches for the Turkey and Tinsel tours with a few days at the Zimmer hotel at Margate or Minehead.
The coach will be adorned wirh Christmas decor to block the drivers vision, the driver with the regulation waistcoat .
When the coffin bus goes past, some passengers look like they are dead or about to pop their clogs , but they are asleep .
If you toot the Intercity 125 train horn on the lorry, it will give half of them a myacardial infarction .
kin beer infused with fruit etc …wife just gave me a 6 pack o special offer beer ()was cheap ) ,cant even get the first one down kin pear and another is grapefruit 
omg after near 50yrs beer/lager drinker this is the worst and that includes some o the southern English warm ■■■■. why o why do brewers listen to the bearded trendy ones tell then fo and leave the beer alone!
JIMBO47:
some of the southern English warm ■■■■.
Northerners who think their own ■■■■ tastes better than beer! 
less o the northerners please EB …Scotsmen who think their own ■■■■ tastes better than warm English beer. 
nothing better than a cold pint o Tennants lager after work…would kill for one instead o the Canadian/Usa 3% crap I have now.
JIMBO47:
why o why do brewers listen to the bearded trendy ones tell then fo and leave the beer alone!
Have to agree. It annoys me that just because someone brewed it in a tin bath in their shed, it’s deemed better than mass produced ale/beer/lager.
Which reminds me…Courage “Directors” Ale. Slightly alcoholic ■■■■ infused with fairy liquid. Where is this distilled urine brewed now because at least they had an excuse when it was in Reading. Courage? You need it to drink it. No wonder the heir to their brewing empire killed himself in a formula 1 car.
Being suspended from work because of a passenger complaint!!!
At least I can drink alcohol for a few days as my disciplinary isn’t until Tuesday - zb driving buses and zb you Oxford city centre!!!
Was it something dire or do you get a lot of complaints ? What was the complaint about ?

Don’t know about DAF95 but we used to get lots of complaints - mainly false. It didn’t help that the bus company would often give away a free day ticket by way of compensation. Once people cottoned on to the fact they can get free travel they’d find all sorts of non reasons to have a whinge.

Even worse, a so called ‘friend’ has recently sent me a bottle of Brakspears (Thames Water, urgh!) as he wanted to remind me of home! 
Bloody hell, I moved north 41 years ago to get away from that crap!
Pete.

To be fair he got on my ■■■■ and I ended up telling him to go forth and multiply… 
I’ll hold my hands up and admit I forgot about the audio recording as well as the cctv 
In my defence though I’d just done a month of lates/nights with 1 day off after every 5 days, finished early Sunday morning and back in at 05:20 Monday morning with no sleep because my body clock is ■■■■■■ and something was going to give - it was my temper…
Company also claim to be “family friendly” - my arse are they

I had a few… nah, plenty that got on my ■■■■ when I was driving buses, so I know where you’re coming from. Better off on the trucks.
Re Brakspears’ “Thames Water” it annoys me when breweries still proclaim the beers’ origin even when the brewery’s long since vanished. Brakspears is brewed in Witney where Hobgoblin is made, Henley brewery shut over 10 years ago. I don’t believe all Wychwood beer is brewed in Witney, considering the number of outlets that sell it you could never get that many wagons into their yard.
