    Stoney Creek, Ontario. It's just east of Hamilton.

    I'm hoping to move there within the next 5 years.
    Got some things to get out of the way here first.
    Before that I do want to visit...next summer with luck.

    House swap? You come here, I'll go there, it'll be brilliant!* :D


    *You'll have to put up with my wife though :p


    On-topic of trivial annoyances:


    "Panties"... *shudders* :(

    They're knickers for Christ sake, or underwear, or thongs, or french boxers, or briefs, anything but that horribly child-like word! I can hack a lot of Americanisms, but that's one that had me clenching my teeth as I struggled to read the FSOG trilogy while resisting the urge to want to fcuk them in the shredder!

    When you manage to arrive early at lectures (because you sprinted from work) and get a nice seat not too near the front, not too near the back, with a free seat in front so you can see the lecturer...and then some idiot arrives late and plonks themself down on the seat in front... :mad: Feel like stabbing them with my pen when that happens...

    I hate it when I Google a random product, and then adverts for that very same product start popping up on every website I click on...kinda creepy.

    That's how google ads work. They use your search history to populate ads. You can turn it off in your google settings age.

    Or when women pee directly into toilet water! The feckin noise of that.

    By the by, when you say toilet water, I presume you mean the liquid in the toilet and not the little bottle of perfumey stuff some grannies wear:D

    in bewleys this mrning for wat i thought to be a quiet cappocino and some brekky. Ordered stuff got cofee from friendly waitress etc. Next thing these middle age ladies sat down the table behind my back. They both started giving out to each other quite audibly about their individual experiences in morning rush hour, and how bad it is now on Monday in Dublin as well as on Fridays. One of them, poor dear had to wait twenty minutes make a turn. That chat was going to go on and on lime that. Bolted my croissant and danish - paid nice bewleys staff and left half my coffee.

    I heard this word again tonight and it makes my bile boil. Everything about this word is wrong. The meaning, the history, the manner in which it is said and the retarded buffoons who say it.

    The word is....













    BLING.

    And people who ask me to "plug the kettle etc out", who then look at me as if I am insane when I say "Unplug"

    Assuming this is for the person asking you to plug it out, I'd suggest pushing the head down the toilet and flushing a few times should do the job.

    Came across an article in the paper today about a disgruntled Tesco customer ( is there any other sort) who phoned head office in Dun Laoghaire only to be told they don't accept phone calls and was transferred to a call centre in Cardiff

    People who switch off the socket that an appliance is plugged into. If you're that worried about the kettle exploding despite being switched off itself, plug it out unplug it, don't leave it sabotaged for the next user to be waiting for ages for it to boil only to discover it's not powered.

    Similiarly, parents (mine) who go crazy unplugging everything in the house if there is lightning despite the ammount of circuit breakers & fuses protecting the appliance, yet leave the tv aerial connected despite the other end of it sitting at the top of a steel pole that is the highest object around their house.
