"Go on Ronnie." Shouted in a Guy Ritchie, wankney accent by absolute c***s that go to watch the snooker.
Add also,
Wankers that have to be the first to shout something unfunnily tedious after a golfer tees off,
Posh wankers having to be the last to shout before a shot is played at tennis,
Groups of wankers singing the 'yaya toure' or 'stand up' at the darts for what seems like century (both Toure brothers stop playing over 5 years ago, and they didn't play darts),
All these folk making watching snooker, darts, tennis & golf worse.
Bring back COVID and empty arenas or the P&B boot should be administered - especially to the ones at golf that shout 'mashed potato'.

With ghosts seemingly being merely apparitions with no actual physical mass (never encountered one personally), are they even capable of having a wee chug in the afterlife? If not and I should end up one myself, I'd probably just stick to going around scaring cnuts I didn't like when I was alive instead of hanging about Rhianna's bedroom as an ethereal ball of sexual frustration.

At decimalisation in 1971, a first class stamp cost 3p. It now costs £1.25. Using the Bank of England inflation calculator, if it had only risen buy inflation, it would be 36p.

Costs a lot to have top notch computer systems like Horizon to run everything efficiently and make the lives of post-masters easier

The UK/US treatment of Yemen as it has faced the murderous onslaught of a much better western armed neighbour nation (Saudi Arabia), makes the west views on the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza seem even handed fair.
This situation is entirely of the making of west backing side and not giving a f**k about right or humanity.

Underrated - Seafood (bar lobster which is overrated - crab is better than lobster). Love all seafood from simple fish & chips to scallops, oysters, prawns/langoustine. Make own fish pies and couquilles san jacque,
Which takes to the 2nd underrated food potatoes, in Couquille, mashed for top of a fish pie, chips with your fish, toppings for other pies, boiled, roasted, and always boil too may so you have a few to chop and fry on a Sunday morning with your breakfast. Fried Tattie scone yes, fried tatties yes - Hash brown - not on my breakfast.
Haggis is also underrated either on its own or when I make sausage rolls or pies with mince, mix in some haggis for a bit a spice.
Overrated - chinese takeaways. always suspicious of foods that insist on too much sauce to hide the main ingredient.

Academics giving presentations on things that they don't know how to pronounce. Recent example was somebody giving a presentation centering around the prominent hill of Bennachie, which the guy was consistently calling Ben-acky (rather than Ben-a-hee).
Usually the result of somebody Down South travelling up to Scotland and failing to converse with anybody outwith their little pool of researchers.
Eta: this is actually well beyond 'petty' for me. The ignorance really grinds my gears.
Impossible Engineering - normally a great programme, bar the one on The Falkirk Wheel.
Despite no matter where they go in the world they always learn how to pronounce locations. Bar when the english twat came to Falkirk and mispronounced FALKIKRK about 20 times.

Late 90s for me. Also on the checkouts but often got extra shifts doing other stuff. Time and a half for Sundays and bank holidays.
I imagine this is very much a thing of the past.
Doubt any supermarket does more than plain time bar holidays.
Sundays were great, worked 8-12 on checkouts, then nearly always 2 -3 hours in warehouse throwing rubbish in compactor to tidy up night shift mess.
A 7 hour shift at double time nearly every Sunday, every little helped.

Same here when I was in Somerfield.
Got paid time and a third for the night shift.
I'm that old that my first job at Tesco when still at school I got paid in cash in a wee brown envelope (even Tesco still paid all staff in cash), I worked on the checkouts where you actually had to key in the prices on the till after reading them from price tags stamped on the goods, but you did get time and a half on a Saturday and double time on a Sunday, and my only two shifts were a Saturday and Sunday.
Please note I'm only referring back to the mid 80s.

As far as I was previously aware, bacon came in smoked or unsmoked. I did not know cooking bacon was a thing. And visually it looks like every other bit of bacon I've ever had from the top. It's just 4x thicker.
Does this make you the equivalent human, a cooking human. Looks human just ...

As a raise on stepping in dog shit, stepping in vomit. Early morning walk into town down King St in Aberdeen. That weird faint dirty heel mark, and another darker, and another, and another,
Then a puddle of Friday night spew with with a sliding heel mark through it. Someone did a stand on a banana skin style slide, then trailed the evidence away. You know they had a horrible walk and I laughed to myself

Someone missing a bus/train then doing that wee run thing and pretending they never wanted to catch it in the first place
Till my dying day I will still laugh at the family (in a scene like the running family from the Fast Show), trying to catch the southbound train on platform 6S at Aberdeen. He made it through the barriers with what he was carrying and to the platform. The rest of the tribe were still getting through the barriers. As the train doors closed with him just reaching the platform and the train starting to move he threw one of the things he was carrying,
A dog bed. It sailing and twirled down the platform at the departing train. The dog and kids and wife and bags were still clearing the barriers.
The desperation of throwing a dog bed at a departing train, comedically beautiful

Mentioning Blair it now at the point in history where date on him is starting to come out.
Yesterday was moving Wimbledon FC to Belfast to be renamed Belfast United and play in the EPL to assist bringing peace and harmony to Northern Ireland,
And today to deal with immigration 20 years was a 'radical' idea of a detention centre on Mull, and coming out the ECHR.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67827016
A detention camp on the Isle of Mull and breaking international law were among measures on migration presented to Tony Blair while prime minister, according to newly released files.
Papers from 2003, released by the National Archives, show Mr Blair was increasingly frustrated by the failure to deter people from coming to the UK.
He had called for more "radical" ideas.
Other suggestions presented to him included safe havens overseas for those whose asylum claims were rejected.
In a paper entitled "Asylum: the nuclear option", advisers even questioned whether the UK needed an asylum system at all, because refugees would already have passed through a safe country before reaching Britain's shores.
And they different from the tories how????

Post Office Scandal
in The General Nonsense Forum
Posted
Post Office just before Christmas and I was doing a couple of things and asked for 1st class stamps,
Cashier - Books of 4 or 8 are available
Me - Book of 8 (and I put a tenner on the counter at that point)
She hands me a book of 8 and I stand there, she looks at me at which point I realise a book of stamps is a tenner as they £1.25 each.
