Itās a good thing there is a less than significant relationship between specialist alone time activities and immobilising groin strains. NHS wouldāve gone under years ago otherwise.
People who play their music on their phones etc. This goes back to ghetto blasters and evolving over the years. Itās not just teens either Iāve seen grown up people on bikes with speakers for their Ipods etc. When we were in Mauritius on an unspoilt quiet uninhabited island a 20 year old girl and parents rolled up and sat next to us with her playing music from her docking station thing. Whilst she went into the water. Not even bloody listening to it. I get we all like to share what we think is the next best track but those near us may not have the same taste.
I ventured out to central London today and have to say people who stop dead in their tracks / head in phone on the underground system are just the worst.

I have been listening to Absolute Radio a lot recently and they proudly boast that the never play the same song twice. Maybe not in one day, but I hear the same songs on a regular basis. Also they only seem to possess a few CDs. They are all Best Ofs so you constantly hear the popular Smiths, Cure, Police, Manic Street Preachers etc. Occasionally they will throw a cool obscure track in to the mix but given how much music there is to chose from, it is more than possible to play a huge diverse range of music every day.
Maybe in hindsight offering to wring the neck of my sonās dying Guinea Pig āto stop any further sufferingā wasnāt the best fatherly thing to doā¦

I did further offer to cleave it head from itās body with a spade but no dice.
It could have been worse - at least you were sensitive enough to ask the question rather than just stamping it into the kitchen floor and then trying to explain how that was a good thing you just didā¦

Not cricket! Gerbil deserves fighting chance imo. Either you should both be tooled up, or neither, and then u Fight to the Death. That is the Natural Way.
Bear it was a Guinea pig they deserve nothing
By the way Bx3 The Ferret is on your case and so watch your back
Thereās always an upside to a sad event like that Bobā¦

Yep there is a middle aged man who cycles around Carlisle (not me) who plays music out of speakers on his bike. I donāt get it. When I cycle now, it is about the only time I do not listen to music, look at my phone, I just cycle and enjoy the scenery. Any other time music is pretty much on all the time!
People who jump in front of trains so the evening rush hour is fucked for thousands of people travelling out of Waterloo
I feel desperately sorry for anyone whose mind is unbalanced enough to do it - but ffs, other people have lives to get on withā¦
(that may not have come out very well)

tbh Cob, when my time is up Iām hoping itāll be a real pain in the arse event, seriously inconveniencing lots of people ā¦ something like dropping dead at the local bar on the busiest night of the year, (Christmas Eve mebbe, if Iām lucky)
I know itās a bit cuntish but Iām not going to be around to feel bad about it, so what the fuck ā¦ a bit of attention can only be a good thing

Dropping dead in a bar on Xmas eve would be acceptable Steve, but topping yourself would be bang out of orderā¦bad form.

Nopeā¦thatās not an inconvenience for the well trained publican. Theyāll just prop you up in a corner of the bar with a pint in you handā¦nobody will notice.

This pretty much sums up my attitude to retirement. I will be such a pain in the arse that people will probably push me on to the tracks to end their misery.

Donāt be silly Cob, wasnāt talking about topping myself. All those years perfecting my coolness would be lost in an instant and thatās all Iāve got by way of legacy
