I hate

Toothache. Fucking oww

Upper middle class, upper middle aged men who's sole items of casual wear are deck shoes, dark blue jumper and corderoy trousers the same colour as their bulbous, port-enriched noses. In Hampshire it's practically a Sunday afternoon uniform.

I never understood class 'uniforms'. I once had lunch in a gastro pub in Sevenoaks, and I'm not joking when I say every guy wore the same. White v collar tshirt and skinny trousers and boat shoes no socks. All of them... And all the women weren't that far off either from the cookie cutter. Made me feel like I was on set of the future of children of the corn.

My job

When someone has ‘make an offer’ in their eBay BIN but then clearly isn’t prepared to accept anything more than a quid below asking.

Bad table maners, loud eating/chewing with open mouth!

Guys who point at the water rather than the bowl therefore enlightening everyone within earshot of their bladder capacity.

Please give us Ravenscroft in that slot.

Being stuck on a train minutes from home for over an hour after travelling for 13 hours.

Realising that you hadn't travelled as far you thought whilst you were asleep on a train and in actual fact are at least an hour from home rather than a few minutes and don't seem to be going anywhere soon.

Oh good the LNER website isn't working for me to claim a refund. Branson you fuck.

Being poor I love delayed trains. Hate it when the dirty bastards get to keep my money.

Just shelled out £100 for a return ticket, that's about £10/hr I'm paying for the privilege of sitting in decades-old train surrounded by hooligans

If I was paying for the ticket myself and hadn't been travelling all day and hadn't been away from home and my girlfriend for nearly a month I'd be delighted to get the £70 back! As it stands I've got nothing to gain other than being able to finish my book.

When you claim delay repay the money goes to you, not who paid for the ticket.

Ive claimed loads of delayed work trips back, both train and plane, often while still technicly working. Win win!

I have quite an accute reaction at loafers no socks - even when I see it on screen (Mrs likes First Dates) it simply screams "c*nt"

One for the parents:

Bing.

So Bing goes on a roundabout and gets dizzy. He starts whinging and the weird tiny carer people start flapping about saying ‘are you ok?’ ‘Oh dear!’. He’s just fucking dizzy! Why write an episode basically teaching kids that being dizzy is something to avoid and that requires medical assistance?! Being dizzy is an essential part of childhood. Stupid fucking rabbit.

Also, stop mispronouncing things on purpose.

Lighten up, it’s only a kids show. Next you’ll be moaning about how Peppa Pig gets lengthy home visits for the slightest ailment and how this is setting unrealistic expectations for GPs to live up to.

At the risk of starting yet another internecine conflict about something related to other people's experience with children and/or their interaction with television programs, Bing is brilliant.
Well, Bing isn't. Flop is. As are all the adults. Bing et al (including weirdo Pants off Pando) demonstrate truly terrifying (well, normal toddler) behaviours. And yet, we never see Flop lose his shit. This is how it should be.
Flop is literally modelling good parenting. Flop is demonstrating HOW a parent should respond. Flop is demonstrating to children that things aren't worth getting all fussed up about.

I remember trying to teach my kid "to blow the angry away" (as Flop and Soolah demonstrated once). I failed. I wish I could be more like Flop.

I’m not sure I agree re. flop.
I’m with you on the calm, level approach and that’s something I strive for in my parenting style (is there a ‘shit fixie skidder parents say...’ thread?). But he exerts no discipline whatsoever. When two kids are fighting over the same toy and it gets physical (bing and Sula tug of warring a tiara), he just sort of hops around saying ‘oh, err.... perhaps maybe don’t do that?’. To hell with that - I feel like I’d be avoiding my responsibility to teach Bing boundaries by not being assertive at that point.

Pando’s great, though, fair play.

Ah the old authoritarian vs authoritative debate.

I'd love to not step in, but I do. Unfortunately.

He does hop around, Soolah (spelling?) is much cooler.

Definitely Sula...

I hate getting old.
I looked at my strava history and wept. All those memories. All those times I was "not bad".
