Might pass their number on to McPake, might do a better job stopping folk going past than our defence.

If Dunfermlines problems aren't being illustrated by a series of Simpsons gifs, then the chair doesn't recognise them.

People stopping in pathways etc is a well worn one on here, but either iv hit an age related crabbit c**t tripwire, or its getting worse. The examples of complete fucking ignorance I've witnessed in recent weeks has driven me insane. 

To give an example, Morrisons in Falkirk has one door for entrance/exit. Usually on the outside of the door there's a sort of pathway leading up of pallets of whatever outdoor shit is on offer.... plants or charcoal or whatever. So there's about 8 narrow yards where people enter and exist he store. Wife with trolley and auld guy in a electric wheelchair/motorised type deal have clearly shopped together and need to divide their stuff. 

Where do they choose to stop, turn broadside and start gittering about with what's in the bags? 

Imagine being so fucking ride as to fully block the only way in or out of a shop when there acres of room yards from you? 

Fucking awful behaviour but seems to occur every day now

People just don't seem to be aware of their surroundings anymore. You can blame being glued to a mobile phone if you're dealing with the young and middle aged. Not sure about coffin dodgers though.

Who else but a Briton could hold the Commonwealth and European Titles?

A Gibralterean I suppose - but still!

People constantly moaning about the lids being attached to drinks bottles now. They cause absolutely no problem and can very easily be broken off the tiny bits of plastic holding them on. I'd say if those lids are causing you problem then the issue is more likely you.

Maybe we should tie one on their necks like happens to some poor animal or bird when these things are discarded. Fukc humans.

I think they’re quite useful if you’re driving and can’t understand why people get so annoyed by them

People probably moaned when old fashioned ring pulls were replaced on drinks cans with the stay on ring. No longer could you find ring pulls in the street, break them apart and use the tongue to flick the ring at people. (maybe a Kenneth moment there!)

The only mildly irritating thing about the new caps is that they're not as easy to screw back on one-handed, as they usually mis-thread after being bent out of the way.

I'd never have thought that people discarding the cap separately from the bottle was a problem but apparently it is. Did any P&Bers previously throw the cap on the ground separately before disposing of the bottle correctly?

How can I be the issue? It was never an issue before it was changed.

And if we are just breaking them off anyway, what's the point in them?

I remember being at primary school when the first attached ring pulls came out . On a school trip one of the parent helpers was sent round with a bag on the now defunct job of collecting all the ring pulls, when she came round to me I showed her my snazzy new fangled ring pull that opens the can yet stays on it ! She was having none of it , wrestled with it back and forth before triumphantly snapping it off and chucking it in her bag leaving me to drink my irn bru with a razor sharp piece of jaggy metal slicing my top lip open.
