Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Just 2 very small ones, one of which never opens because it's for speaking through. The rest of the shop is glassed in and the assistant fetches your beer for you. It's right opposite the Cottage Bar. :D

I like that pub. I particularly liked the 'gorgeous' barmaid who was hitting 40, had the single worst fake tan in the universe and her hair stretched back so tight it looked like some had just un-wrinkled a particularly dense prune. I'd been drinking for about 12 hours and she was still repulsive. :lol: Mind you, judging by the way the snarled at me when I had the audacity to politely ask for some drinks, the feeling of appreciation was very much mutual.

Adam got a free drink in there for showing the barman how to work the television. He made football happen and the regulars thought he was God. Although, I don't think most of the regulars actually know it as a television. I think it's the magic box or something.

PTTGOYN: Back in hospital just for a check up this morning, the stupid doctor taking my blood managed to spike right through the vein and out the other side, so when she did pull the needle out, after taking ages to actually get blood out, the blood started pouring from my vein into my arm, I had a big lump where it had swollen up and now it's going to bruise and it's sore as f**k. :angry:

This doesn't get on my nerves as such, just something I don't understand.

Homeless people always try and skip the queue when Im at a till in Tesco so they can buy their can of Super T. Surely if you are homeless you'd want to stay in the warmth as long as possible, rather rush in and out.

Also they always says keep the change, if its like 2 or 3p. You need it more than Tesco mate

Liqour Barn, Cottage Bar - Holy crap - you guys really like living life on the edge. I'm Shettleston born (well actually Duke St born, but close enough) and raised and wouldnt go there!

Also about 50 meters along from the liqour barn (going east) there is a double doorway onto shettleston road with a sign above it saying 'The barn' - always wondered what that was but was always to scared to ask the neanderthals hanging about the doorway.

It's not that bad! You big old coward! :P

Christ, I dread to think what you'd do if you visited some of the areas I lived in in Bristol. :lol:

The cottage bar has some dodgy history does it not? Its not the one that was owned by Tam McGraw but it was prominent in the Arthur Thomson/Paul Ferris/McGraw feuds and I think some murders took place there. In fact was it not outside there the car with Bobby Glover and Joe Hanlon was found after they were killed in retaliation for Arthur Thomson Junior being shot?

Aye, I heard someone got shot or stabbed or something in there a few years back. But then while I was living in Aberdeen, more people got killed in the street I lived in and surrounding area while I stayed there then I've ever known in the whole of Bristol in the fist 26 years of my life. I can't say someone being killed a few years ago bothers me that much.

Right, having a rant on this one...

The term 'spastic' when used as an insult or to score points on here should be a no-no. For the people that use it, there should be a wee word in their ears, and if they continue, a wee trip to the sin bin. As I have stated elsewhere, when used in the context that I have seen recently, it is no-better than 'coon' or 'nigger' to a black person, and all it shows is a lack of intelligence by the poster. Having a disability is not a choice, in the same way as having a different colour of skin, and in this day and age, there really is no excuse for it. People with difficulties/disabilities have a difficult time being excluded from society as it is, and a wee bit of respect for them being people in their own right wouldn't go amiss.

I'm not one for running to the mods to single out individuals, but hopefully they will pick up on it and get it sorted on the quiet.
