die hard doonhamer Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 THE ROYAL MAIL Thought i should add some context , copied from my facebook rant If my postie tries to deliver a parcel and we aren't in he comes back an hour or so later to try again before handing it in to the sorting office. Good guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 My pal was a postie and told me he would do this on a common basis if it was a large parcel and he didn't want to carry it around. I'm almost positive that was the reason he was sacked I seen a documentary on this and it's common practice. I say documentary but I really meant the postie in still game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) If my postie tries to deliver a parcel and we aren't in he comes back an hour or so later to try again before handing it in to the sorting office. Good guy. Almost everyone in my street seems to collect post for each other. The elderly around me are like constant CCTV so if there's a postie with a parcel, they'll know about it and will be straight out if they know somebody's away. In fact, most people seem to have spare keys for each other's houses seeing as most have known each other for >30 years. It was only a couple months after we'd moved in that our neighbours told us that they had forgotten they still had a set of keys for our house!

Hedgecutter Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Being able to get a bus past Brechin on the A90 but never being able to stop there because it's a Citylink/Megabus from Aberdeen to Dundee. The only other way to get there by public transport for match days takes over double the time and involves getting a train/bus to Montrose and then faffing around for half an hour before getting another bus over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you get for choosing to visit a place trapped in the 17th Century. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the driver for a needless tour of Dundee. As if the coach half full of Weegies wasn't enough.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Any adult who uses the word 'tummy' when not talking to a child. Defo. You can add "pee", "poo", "willy" and "bum" to the list. Cringeworthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Defo. You can add "pee", "poo", "willy" and "bum" to the list. Cringeworthy. Careful Cardinal, using some of those words around kids could see you end up in court! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 People who wear Muay Thai shorts at the gym when they aren't in a training session has moved up in my gym hate list over people who wear full football kit, it just seems to be an excuse to let everyone know that you are hard and do a niche sport when in reality it highlights that you are a throbber of the highest order. What's wrong with normal shorts ffs? The same person I saw today also started taking selfies on an ipad, is doing combat sports just about letting everyone else know you kick/punch people for fun so dinnae mess rather than actually being any good at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanarkshireLion Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Seeing the rants about postmen make me grateful that we have a good one,he'll try deliver it a second time and if not successful he'll put it round the back somewhere and say so on the we missed you card. As for what annoys me,I don't see it as petty but just about everyone I know does. People eating loudly,honest to god, it can make me so angry to the point I have to leave the room or I'm going to punch them in the face. My mum is by far the worst. I refuse to sit next to her when she's eating. Surely I'm not alone in being annoyed by this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy is fair enough, but the others are all commonly used acceptable words. Pee isn't as bad as poo. Poo is the noise a child makes when they smell it. It's not to be used by grown adults describing bodily movements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just threw the annoying catchy video of "winky winky bum bum poo poo titty titty winky winky bum bum bum" into my mind. Damn you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
