The radio.  In particular news item, documentaries etc where the producers feel the need to add in sound effects to "set the scene".

"Crunch crunch crunch", "Im walking through the woods here where blah blah blah.."

"Splish splosh splash", " Im here at the seaside where blah blah blah...."

"Fuk the feenyins/orange b*****ds", "Im here at Rangers v Celtic game where blah blah blah...."

I was with you until the last one.

That would clearly be dead air, then the volume on the presenter's mic turned back up for them to speak.

Despite being told in Brussels and on the online tracker that my lost luggage would be delivered to my home I got a call this morning saying that my bag has been sat at the airport since yesterday and when will I pick it up.

Apparently, as it originated outside the EU they can't deliver it because it needs to clear customs. Its a 6kg bag full of clothes. So now I'm on a four hour €23 round trip, half-day off work to retrieve my luggage.

People who, in my present area, on hearing a Scottish accent can't resist in coming out with the time honoured classic comment :
"Ock aye the noo, Jock"
Scottish born and bred I may me but I don't even know what that means.

An Irish jakey asked me for money in Dublin city centre and when I said no, her response was "och aye the noo ya Jock p***k" which was at least quite creative. No idea what any of it means though.

You must have a very pronounced Scottish accent if she was able to deduce you were Scottish just by you saying "No". Or was it your kilt that gave it away?

I never said that. Was never approached by an Irish jakey in Dublin.

It is confusing, but that was WeAreElgin's post you were quoting.

Likewise, ketchup bottles although they do have the flaps. And bottles of tonic water have a plastic cover over the lid that is disproportionately strong to it's size. If it doesn't have perforations then you're in for a battle.

White VW with tartan seats in a certain part of Edinburgh.

should be able to arrange to have the paintwork keyed by tomorrow night...

That would send me clear through both the PTTGOYN and Heads Gone threads into a new Apoplectic With Murderous Rage thread.

Was told that we were getting moved back to our offices tomorrow (weve been in a different building for the summer) only to be told now, we are not moving until Monday.

All my shit was in crates and lifted by the movers yesterday hence im sitting on a rickety old stool working on a tiny laptop.

Fuming.
