Having contributed to the Bulgarian economy by having my car washed at Sainsbury yesterday I do find it annoying to be asked today by the same person whether I want my bright, shiny, clean car washed

Anyone who sings 'angels' by Robbie Williams at Karaoke. The original was bland and cringy, hearing 2 drunk lads singing it with their arms over each other just leaves me with a feeling of total dispair...

My apprentice. Lazy little fucker. He seems to tick a lot of the boxes above. Likes to refer to people as geezers. He’s scared of hard work. He listens to sht music. He doesn’t understand what tidying up is. Wears skinny black jeans, then complains of being hot. He’s constantly on his poxy phone, CONSTANTLY!!!! Not interested in work at all, but lights up trying to explain to me about a computer game. Moaning about his girlfriend, but won’t chuck her in. I’m sacking him soon I think.

I hate apprentices also. lazy little turds, never show up on a day there is proper work to do. never in Mondays & often work the evenings as a 'DJ' so they are useless next day. One of my lot I told to paint the ceiling white & do a sample of the yellow emulsion on the wall, ended up with a yellow ceiling. Another was in the van with me as we drove past the war memorial on purley way, croydon. 'whats that' he said. its the war memorial i replied. 'Is that where it happened...'he responded. sack him today. Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents? Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Originally posted by Rudi Hedman I saw one caravaner recently at evening rush hour reversing into the Warlingham green petrol station and gridlocking the whole area instead of driving down to sanderstead or just filling up at another hour. Was the caravan part of the friendly caravaners that have taken up residence on the school green and spent last night setting light to things. The misunderstood little scamps. Detest motorists that throw fag butts and rubbish out of the car window. Also travelling people who leave sh*t everywhere (literally) and seem completely above the law. Edited by Apollofuzz (22 Jun 2018 12.56pm) I ride a GS scooter with my hair cut neat I wear my war time coat in the wind and sleet.

Originally posted by YT Yeah I ‘get’ the pencil thing, Ginge. It’s always staggered me how often my daughters pick up a pencil only to then drop it; and it annoys me every time.

I’m sure the words ‘woe betide you’ were used. my kids get a 'woe betide you' now. it just does my nut in. I'm pleased I'm not alone. (edits but to nut!)
