Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

I ogo through something like this on a pretty regular basis. However, it tends to be about the time I'm thinking of heading to bed. I usually start thinking of lots of pretty mundane, not particularly stressful life-things (but which need addressed), then dwell on it too long and end up awake until around 2 or 3 in the morning. Then when the alarm goes off at 7am I wake up feeling totally horrendous. A coffee usually sorts me out though but then it usually catches up with me mid afternoon. Again, coffee and nicotine usually get me through but it takes its toll and hits you hard eventually, usually culminating in one weekend every month-or-so where I feel utterly done-in and end up sitting doing nothing all weekend to recharge the batteries before going the whole cycle starts again.

I usually put it down to the job I have though.

Maybe lay off posting on P&B for a while, see if that helps?

Two things... 

The "jovial banter" between the contestants on Tipping Point. f**k off, you're meant to be competing against each other, not congratulating each other on how good a drop it was. 

Winter is shit. Anyone who likes is v. weird.



It's a horrible, lazy fcking disgusting waste of time watching that show. Basically watching morons play a bigger version of the coin machine at the shows. My parents had it on one time I was down. I pointedly refuse to watch such nonsense.

Can't remember who it was that said Tipping Point was for those too thick to get on other quiz shows

I'd just open my box right at the start and sit back with a smug grin to watch Noel try fill 30mins of airtime there after!

This should be what comes up when you press 'i' on your remote to find out what the f**k the programme is about.

I've always said that Noel should do away with the phone and "contact" the banker be holding his arms out, rolling his eyes into the back of their sockets and moaning out his offer.

Bus Tales of Hedgecutter (chapter CLXVII):

Meant to be getting the rather nice, cosy and direct Megabus Gold bus from Aberdeen to Glasgow.

However... staff in Aberdeen brought out the rather (over)elaborate robotic wheelchair aid to get a disabled lad on, evidently having no idea how the thing works. It will therefore come as no major surprise that after eventually getting him on board, the thing gets stuck and nobody has a scooby how to fix it, with the 'soon to arrive in a minute' mechanic being a total no-show.

After about half an hour, those of us with functional legs are put on the shitey Edinburgh coach to catch a shiteier, frozen one from Dundee, with the disabled guy still trapped on a bus in Aberdeen for all I know. One hoorah is that the coach has plug sockets for your mobile, the downside is that they don't actually do anything.

This country.


PS. Last time I got the train down I ended up with a replacement bus. Why can't buses get replacement trains? (rhetorical)

Buses should tow wheelchairs.
