House number also has a 7 in it so they've got a big green and white striped 7 and put it over the top of the number on the door, possibly the most tragic thing I've ever seen

Are we on about her Neighbours house, or yours?

Don't do anything illegal like setting fire to it or anything, but burn it.

Still here mate, got my parents here at the minute so will be a bit preoccupied for the next 6 weeks. 

Don't have the boat any more but it was very comfortable living on board although that might not have been said if the on shore facilities weren't available and the boat wasn't mooring in the middle of Edinburgh.

Electric ovens, when did they suddenly become so popular? I think I'm the last hold-out I know who still uses gas, but it makes cooking so much easier. Reminds me of uni, where not only was it an electric oven but an electric hob as well. Nightmare. Having to wait twenty minutes for an oven to heat up totally threw my cooking times.

I think you'll find that modern electric ovens take a lot less time to heat up. I prefer them, as you have far more temperature control. Totally agree on the hob though. I suffered not having a gas hob once before, and would never let it happen again.

Was watching an old Wheel of Fortune at lunch (hosted by Bradley Walsh!?) and 2 things :

Contestants that clap themselves for any reason. Fck off.
 

This seems to happen a lot on the shite gameshows found on Challenge. I think it's just because the goons on these things simply really are that thick.

I have ranted about it far too much over the years but this type of thing does my tits in.

I used to know an aussie guy just from drinking in the same pub occasionally who was always on about how shite bar staff are over here. Said a barman is a recognised trade over there and here its treated as part time unskilled shite.

Same goes for the US. Admittedly the tipping culture is probably what prompts them to go the extra mile but service in most places over there is head and shoulders above here.

 

To be fair, in Australia being a barman is probably about the same level as being a politician or surgeon.

Pamela Anderson on the telly advocating that wives shouldn't allow their husbands to watch porn, that there is a dark side to porn, that playboy is objectification of women. This is a woman who's only noteworthy quality was her tits and when people got bored of them the sex tapes happened.

How could they stop them watching it if they wanted to do so?

Porn is pretty shite though.

"Shouldn't allow" What the f**k Is wrong wi women?

If men started telling women what they can and can't do I'm pretty sure it would be seen as controlling and abusive.

Unfortunately, a lot of the general public in the UK think that they can treat restaurant and bar staff like shite and it's OK to do it.

I also think the curmudgeonly barman is a national treasure. I mind when I used to frequent the Cask & Barrel on Broughton Street & Big Mike behind the bar, I think I only managed to get him to smile once, when I tried to pay with euro's. I once went in before a Spartans Cup match wearing a sombrero (don't ask) & he told me to take it off, saying I could have someone's eye out if I turned too fast & one of the wee pompom thingies that dangly down might hit them? Best was when a fellae dressed as a banana came in, the door hadn't even shut when Big Mike gave him the evil eye & just motioned his finger to turn around & go away.

Re the restaurant staff being treated like shite, I don't very often go anywhere posh but it's they middle class c***s that moan at the staff, I just hope the staff stick their cocks in the meals before giving them to them.
