14 year olds who start their first day at a new school and instead of getting THE 16.33 as instructed, just get any 16.33 and end up in Leicester!!
Grrrr!!
One of her friends also got lost in New Street station, completely puzzled as to why it wasn't London Euston!
What are they teaching them at school these days?
Two days ago, my daughter was talking about the Editors song 'Munich' and asked me what a Munich was.
Geography's her favourite academic subject, but she doesn't know where anywhere is.
Yeah, they tried that, but I still found them rude.Just speak slower and louder
Haven't watched tv in years apart from news and sport so can't comment !Strictly come dancing. What a bunch of self indulgent pricks.
BRITAIN annoys the crap outta me!
I spent last week driving around Holland and Belgium, and made a few observations.
1) European people are so much more polite, on the whole.
2) Europe is MUCH cleaner than the UK. The motorway verges in Holland are spotless.
3) Civic pride. Every village I drove through was very well maintained. All grass verges mowed, and generally well maintained.
4) Driving. Europeans to roadworks in 1-2 mile stretches and actually have people working on them. In Britain, we close 15 miles of lanes off, and there are 2 people working.
5) Health and safety. In Britain we seem to implement every European regulation to its fullest extent, which either makes life difficult, or sucks the fun out of everything. In Europe they are a lot more relaxed. For example,.in Centre Parcs UK, there is some twat blowing a whistle at you every 2 minutes, if you so much as look like you might go down a water slide in an 'unauthorised' position. In Europe, they just let you get on with it. If you want to go down 5 at a time, feel free.
Can't help feeling that if Britain ran itself more like the rest of Europe, the Brexit debate wouldn't happen.
I'd skip the hotel and make it home before 4amRoadworks drive me crazy I will be working in leyland for a few days and will finish at 1am on Saturday morning but will have to stop in a hotel and drive back in the morning as the ridiculous amount of roadworks mean I won’t get home until just before 5am. Virtually the whole motorway is 50mph at best no work being done just cones
I'd skip the hotel and make it home before 4amIts all for the new 'Smart' motorway thingy.........Basically average speed cameras so all motorways will be limited at 60mph very soon.
Birmingham Airport !

You got it NickWaiting to get back through passport checks for about 4 hours or the dodgy drop off thing where you have to kick people out and go before you have to take out a mortgage?
You got it Nick
Red lines everywhere
No where to just pul in for ten minutes or so until you get a text or call that they're through
I'm expecting a fine as I didn't see the signs and it took 40-50 minutes for my daughter to get through
Had a similar situation at Wickes last week as they reckoned I'd overstayed their 90 minute limit by just over half an hour
Sorted it as I had a £100+ receipt
But it's the time and inconvenience and downright disproportionality of it all
Grrr I definitely am developing authority issues ,abuse of power ,downright unjust examples of rinsing Joe Public etc !!
SnapI ended up parking up in a layby round the corner on an industrial estate and waiting, then got bored so did laps round the roads without going in then parked up again to wait until I got the call.
To go into the pickup / dropoff bit and wait for an hour is stupid money.
Snap
It's just a rediculous situation.
They're as entitled to be on the road as you are. Not all cyclists are dickheads in the same way as not all motorists are.FUCKIN CYCLISTS - should be banned from the roads 6am to 12 am - old boy on a bicycle today makes a meal of a corner on a country lane so i give him a wide birth - coming towards me is a lycra lizard who is shaking his head at my move - he was'nt even looking as i had clocked him coming towards me - another car could have still got through the gap WANKER with Sky lycra - they are FUCKIN ROAD NUISANCE
This probably deserves its own topic, and longer than a lunch hourIn light of the recent Aimee Challenor story, something that I previously found just laughable I now find rather disturbing, and that's the concept of gender self-ID.
It's something that Owen Jones, for example, supports.

It's an insult really when blokes grow their hair and they suddenly think they are a woman.
How about the other way, where women end up with a beard?
How about if it's not tablets, they just have an artificial beard because they identify as masculine, but they have no desire to be a man and would be mortified at the thought of being called a bloke?Still not a bloke if they have just grown a beard and taken a few tablets. It's the same as when they come out with the "man having a baby" type stories. It's not a man, it's a woman with a beard that still has a womb.

That's a cracking replyThey enter Eurovision.
I found them to be friendly if you speak to them in French.If you think Europe is friendlier, you clearly have never been to France.
Friendly when you actually get to know them, but at first they can be very rude.
Like this?I found them to be friendly if you speak to them in French.
And it has to be French with a good accent.
