I hate

People have been having staycations all along and not even realising it.

I was staycationing before you heard of it.

I staycationed HoliStayed in Florida a few years ago, when I flew there and resided in a villa.
Does that count?

shouldn't a staycation be when you stay at home?

The first time I heard the word was in 2005 and that is what the person meant.

They planned to chill and enjoy spending time in their house and garden with some beers and cold wine rather than spending the money and fucking around with travelling on holiday.

VW.
Our dieselgate Skoda has now got a failed EGR valve, which seems to be a common problem after the 'fix' from their filthy lies.

As said in my original post referenced by DethBeard, you've got to stay at home or you're just on Holiday.

'Oh yeah me and the boyfriend are thinking about having a staycation'
'Oh yeah that'll be nice, what are you planning'
'We reckon we'll try and find somewhere in Cornwall to stay for a few days'
Right you're going on holiday to Cornwall then, you're not staying are you.

Maybe I'm just bitter because it turns out all but two of my family holidays as a kid were actually just staycations as we only ever needed a passport for two of the total holidays.

Noon ads

The latest McDonald's ad, Mark Morrison must be laughing all the way to the bank though!

First thing I said when I clocked it was a McDs ad, he better be getting payed good money!

Still wish he hadn't done it

People who have a flapping shit fit when a wasp flies into the same postcode.

Being mildly irritated by something pretty minor, and then forgetting what it was and how amusing it could have been, by the time I next look at this thread

How come?

People wearing a face mask permanently on their chin. Are you wearing one or not ?

oh, just some of his commentary

"he missed one earlier, but this one's going in"

it doesnt go in

i am a bit partisan towards o'sullivan though

how was your snooker gig?

Insane.

Hardest thing I've done in 20 years.

But, proper pinch myself moments when reffing on the table that had been the TV table for the World qualifiers, that Jan ver Has had been reffing on the week before.

I did have a few fuck ups mind....

Yellow, Brown, Green, Blue, Pink, Black. Easy!

Patronising idiots who say it’s only a wasp, it won’t kill you.

I carry two epi pens, they can kill me.

Am generally calmer around them these days but we had two hornets nests in our house this week which had to be removed.

Damn, foiled again, if it wasn't for those pesky kids....

If the wasps actually pose a threat, that’s a different matter. I’m pretty sure you don’t flap about running backwards and forwards making ineffectual swats that serve to agitate the wasp trying to increase the chance of a sting.

Those shit review sites that just scrape info, post affiliate links and say everything is great.

This flows into one of my other hates - where the Internet and search engines seem to be moving:

I can't put my finger on it exactly, but increasingly searching for things or information seems to be dominated by shit ads or sites that are basically ads that hinder me finding what I actually want.

I felt I noticed a real difference living in the States to the quality of the Internet and Google searches in particular. Initially I thought it was me, but coming back here cemented the idea that it wasn't.

Now Google seems to be increasingly like I remember it being in the US.

@dancing James - if you want to go bling you can get smart epi pens that talk to you. Ikd if there available in the UK tho.

Infant-minded lads in their slammed, drainpiped , motors stepping on the loud pedal when they eye somebody eyeing them. Look, sonny. We just happened to glance in your direction at nothing in particular. We didn’t take a look cos we are impressed and we certainly ain’t more impressed-er. What could have been mild but fair appreciation of the talents of the employees of the local body-shop has been ruined by your attempts to out-do the trombone/kazoo section of the Royal Philharmonic.
Oh, and take that sulky look off your face and your stupid rigid arm off the top of the steering wheel while you’re at it.

A wasp landed on my nose during a Teams client meeting yesterday afternoon. I had just been asked a question as well. Grr.

I thought only the eastenders cast went on holliday to southend.
