Today I'm angry about.....

[thebish]

People stinking the place out with the sweet delicious smell of bacon butties, then eating them sat not three feet away from me as I'm about to have an apple.

Selfish bastards.

Agreed, can't beat a bacon buttie smell for craving one. Possibly the worlds nicest food...

you're fooling nobody Gooner Girl - you were NEVER just about to have an apple...

[Little Green Man]

the rise of wanky radio speak..

it started with..

"at the top of the program" (NO! - at the START of the program)

now it's..

"we'll keep you across that story." (NO! - you won't - you will keep me up to date with that story)

Not forgetting the appearance of 'yer' as in 'here's XXX with yer news', ''here's XXX with yer weather'. Yes, I'm talking about you Phil Ferking Williams and Colin Cocking Murray. And while I'm at it, Murray, now is pronounced now, not noy. And Liverpool has two Os, not fifteen. Tossface!

anyone who is NOT Irish using the word "craick"

also...

people who say laxasaisical - (yes - that's YOU Alan Green) instead of lackadaisical...

That started on Sky with them saying "at the top of the hour".

Yet another reason why Murdoch should be eradicated from the face of the planet.

Muppets that park in the baby and child spaces in the supermarket when they have no child whatsoever with them, its chucking it down with rain and you have 2 screaming babies in the back...

I thought they were called 'parent and child' spaces; there's no age limit on them and as such I feel fundamentally entitled to park in them when running my 70 year old mother to the shops.

Ditto.

Oh, & you know, at peak hourss they offer a degree of sense. At 8pm at night I feel fully in my rights to park in the effing things (not disabled). The shop's nearest 2100 spaces are empty at that time.

I parked in one at about 11pm once - and got glared at by a woman with a 2yr old child...

Cancelling pet insurance and two weeks later the dog looks like he will need a leg op - not much fun for a three legged dog esp as its the only one he has left at the back.

Oh and back to shopping, stupid parents letting their kiddies pay at the counter when there is a huge queue and the kid makes a meal of it.

[BWFC_Insane]

There is absolutely no need for parent child spaces whatsoever. Its perfectly possible to get a child in and out of a car in a normal sized space.

Of course they were invented for all the 4x4 driving mums who can't park in a normal space.

And usually take hours reversing know full well when they come back they have to get to the boot and now can't cos the reversed in and can't get the trolley round to the back of the car.

Very good point. I've often wondered why people bother reversing into those spaces, there is absolutely no point. Whats worse is when all the parent child spaces are taken so they come with their big cars that they can't drive and park across two or even three spaces in a car park with limited space as it is. Then when you complain they tell you its cos "they've got kiddies and need the room".

No it ain't love, its because you're driving a car you can't control and can't park.

Worse still is when they double park and block entire roads picking their offspring up from school. Yes I know little Tommy is finishing at 3.30 but that does not give you the right to park right in front and block the public highway whilst you "nip in".

As per you two have missed the point by miles.
There is enough room in normal spaces, agreed. But small kids are not going to care about ramming their door into the nice new car parked adjacent. The parent/child spaces are as much for other car park users as the parent/child users.

Well than, that's a problem with parenting, not parking

Oh, and nice to see that PC bishop can be a male chauvinist when it suits after all. Welcome to the club.

Indeed. If the kid is small enough or not sensible enough to be able to open the door carefully then the parent should do it for them.

[Raven]

Ignorant bast parents who can't teach their kids to open car doors properly then

the kids for whom those spaces are intended are usually strapped in and behind childlocks - they have no chance of opening the door!

the people who open car doors and bash my car most are OLD PEOPLE!

[Lofthouse Lower]

People who drive.
