Mr Adams is a ball sack. If they were purposefully vandalising the park then fair enough, but to have young kids reprimanded for such an innocent act is fucking bent. He's clearly the type of curtain-twitching busybody who everyone seems to have had one of in their street when they were growing up. The kind who would call the police if you played football in the street or chap the window at you and tell you to move along even though you weren't on his land. The kind of person, in fact, whose absurd behaviour actually makes kids and neighbuors more likely to be mean to them rather than having the desired effect of being left alone in their hermit-like misery.

The police were called by a family member of Conservative councillor Mr Adams,

ah.

edit:

"If you want to pick flowers you grow them in your own garden."

a bit presumptuous?

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

hmm

he may be technically in the right. but does anyone else think 'mr adams' is a bit of a c**t?

Bryan Robson has Throat Cancer.

^^ ooft.

Someones not had their hole in a while.

true but not relevant to my comment. thus puzzling.

Girls

What. The. f**k.

I would normally agree. obviously women not girls though.

However today, I was proactive and -with situationally required postponements aside- was met with a reasonably positive response.

My -previously hypocritical- advice would be proactive.

[Things you want to share with P&B]

Ha, whipped or what!

Sometimes, its best Adam, just to concede you're in the wrong. Particularly when you are.

Sometimes, its also good to realise when to keep your mouth shut.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I only had 2 hours sleep last night

ouch. tha's never good.

[Things you want to share with P&B]

What because you read one post here and on facebook. I do apologise, find the ignore button and use it.

I genuinely forgot about this - I would have deleted/edited it otherwise. My hypocrisy has been pointed out to me. In retrospect, its clear I've behaved like a bit of -if not total- c**t. My sincerest of apologies.

Give me no more thought. In fact red dot all posts and ignore me. I'm genuinely mortified.

[Things you want to share with P&B]

The richter scale is exponential. I did not know that.

its also been largely superseeded bythis

except on bbc news reports.

I think I made up a racist joke earlier, and on the one hand im pleased because its pretty funny, but obviously im not particularly proud to be making up racist jokes.

Also, why does Rowan's post above have 4 red dots? Is there something I'm not getting?

I've no idea why it has 4 red dots, it doesn't deserve that, but I red dotted it because I'm fed up hearing about it.

I just applied for a job in Surrey/Croyden. If it follows the trend of every other job application since November, I wont hear anymore about it. Though if it goes well, I need to be ready to fly down to interview and teach a spec. lesson next Tuesday. -Do you know, I don't actually have a wearable suit? I checked my wardrobe there and I don't. Its been *that* long since anyone invited me to interview.

Anyone got any experience of these places or more specifically their schools?

What is the best web browser in your own personal opinion?

IE is slow as f**k on my pc

Chrome sometimes crashes (something to do with plug in unresponsive)

It's doing ma tatties in

firefox

I use 4 beta but 3.6 is great.

edit: is Adriano currently available on a free transfer since Roma tore up his contract?

[Quick Question Thread]

Nope, unless I'm mistaken it was changed on the 1st September 2009 to 10am to 10pm, seven days a week. I bought beer just after 10am on a Sunday morning last year whilst I was getting food at Tesco.

ah. its not really something I get a lot of. and its been a while since I worked for Sainsburys. so I stand corrected.

Why does the periodic table look a strange shape and not like a normal table?

history young man, history. and its not a strange shape.

[Quick Question Thread]

10am-10pm

Nephew has me puzzled he asked- "If lions have paws and giraffes have hoofs. What do elephants have?"

feet.

they're ungulates, antelope or deer or cattle, but not even toed or odd toed ungulates they're in a third special group for various skelatal reasons.

but basically feet.

How come every bugger knows all about Charlie Sheen?

I had never even heard of the guy or his shitty two and a 1/2 men before today. I have absoltley no interest in him and am annoyed that he is everyones hot topic of the week.

fairly sure not topic of the week in Japan. But you make a good point.

Corn flour will do it (mix into a smooth paste with some water first and then add it in), but if you've got vegetables or potatoes in it, take about half of them out, blend them and chuck them back in.

I'd agree with this cornflour or arrow root

edit: I see you're anti-flour in which case definitely arrow root.

An expired passport is NOT a valid form of I.D

really? it was for my GTCs disclosure.

edit: obviously a load of other stuff was needed too; drivers license, utility bill. But the passport expired in November last year.

Make proper scottish pancakes, none of this crepe crap!

crepes are great! with like jam and brandy and cream and stuff in them. but you are right re actual pancakes.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I know, but it sounds horrible. The ingredients on that back are fine - expect for the fact they all end in powder. It smells horrible too.

We'll see.

do you like potnoodle? its basically the same idea. dehydrated pancake mix. just make sure enough water is added and its thoroughly mixed. it'll be fab.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

Just wade in all guns blazing and talking a load of shite. That's what everyone else does here.

you should know

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

It's pancake day.

You may think that this is in the wrong thread, but it's not. Instead of buying sugar, butter, eggs and milk - my mum has bought 'shake-a-pan-cake'. You add water into a pre-made pancake powder mixture and pour it into the frying pan. Yum...

I appreciate this is pttgoyn, but that actually sounds thoughtful. she could have bought nothing.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I just realised how little I have to offer this forum. I have probably looked at 50 threads and couldnt think of anything constructive or helpful to say in any of them. Even the Ross County threads are all a bit abstract these days as I cant get to many games.

Even this post is pointless.

Thats my PTTGOYN.

there's constructive and helpful stuff on this website?!

How can she eat it once she's given it to you? Don't be so silly.

Just bloody ask her. The worst thing that happens is she says no and you feel awkward around her for a bit. On the other hand, you might just get your leg over.

true I didn't think that through.

also true. this stuff is SO much easier when they're not already your friend.
