Silly skewed nostalgia shows like the Goldbergs; a working class family in the 80's who buy every single new mod con and consumer good as soon as it comes out. Things like walkmans, video tapes and camcorders cost a small fortune back in the 80's, you would need to be a millionaire to spend like they do. On one ep they went out and bought a new microwave on a whim :rolleyes:

I had a flight once where some idiot decided painting her nails was appropriate. The whole plane was stinking by the time the staff got her to stop.

Not just nostalgia shows. Something like The Middle, they're always talking about how broke they are, and yet they're always having take-out food for dinner and buying new stuff. I actually like the show, but it is a trivial annoyance because I'm just thinking - "live within your means, ffs!!"

I liked shows like Roseanne and Malcolm in the Middle and because they were struggling with money and there were real consequences.
Now look at a show like friends, how the hell could Joey with an odd acting job here and there and Rachel working as a waitress and then an intern afford those massive apartments slap bang in Manhattan, drink expensive coffee in Central Perk every day, never wear the same clothes twice and go out on dates the whole time?

Went out for a pizza the other night and this guy at the table next to me got his pizza slice, folded it over and eat it like he was eating a sandwich. He then proceeded to do this with every remaining slice.

It didnt really annoy me I just thought it was an abomination and wanted him to stop.

Thats the way they do it in Italy. It stops you burning the roof of your mouth on the toppings.

Bought an Aer Lingus flight to Paris, oh la la , my first time there

My TA is their €8 administration fee

I’m buying a ticket off you and I’m doing all of it on the Internet and don’t take up any of your staff’s time and get charged €8 for it

No better than Ticketmaster :rolleyes:

Had my bank holiday last weekend so I'm feeling the bank holiday envy now today. Boo.

Also GP's are ****ing useless. Odd pain in my jaw yesterday which has spread to my neck today. Went to the GP as I've never experienced anything like this before. Checked my ears, throat, said 'ooh yeah it seems to be tender there but I can't see anything. Go away and come back if it gets worse.' :rolleyes:

And when you were a teenager I am sure it was " Bring me here .... Can you get me this .... Buy me that ..., need a lift to ......
Its how family works

madmaggie

I went to bloom at the weekend. It was gorgeous, but at €25 per adult, they're really pushing the price. Luckily I get free travel on the train with elderly uncle, otherwise it would be one very expensive day out.

People on Bank holiday Mondays.

Perfectly decent at any other weekends and other Mondays.

Dickish, narky and arrogant on a bank hiday Monday though, especially.

Edit....lol lol

theoldbreed

I live beside one of the nicest beaches in the country, we walk the dog there most days rain or shine. Annoyed that I thought it would be a good idea to go down there on a hot bank holiday weekend. So many inconsiderate, filthy, rubbish leaving tw*ts down in their mobile homes for the weekend taking over the place.
I hate crowds.

It might be worth ringing a dentist, if you get no joy from your GP. The last time I had that it was my wisdom teeth and an abscess acting up - it might very well not be that at all, but if it is, a dentist would be able to point you in the right direction.

I feel your pain - one year the "little job" they had in store for me was to try and fix the leaky garage/shed/haybarn roof. And no, I'm neither a roofer nor a builder, nor a carpenter.

TA'd by British Airways turning into a pack of Ryanair-style stingy b@stards with the constant charges for everything onboard.

If I don't pay £11 to select my seat EACH WAY, I get lumped into a middle seat in aisle 30 or a seat right at the back beside the toilets every single time. If I don't pay for priority boarding, I have to check in my cabin bag because "we are operating a full flight" every single time. GAH. Cheapskates.

I usually ask for the back seat so no-one sees me having a meltdown every time the seatbelt sign goes on or there's any bit of turbulence..also first for the drinks trolley and near the loo if I'm brave enough to use it which is very rarely in case I get sucked down when I flush..😭

wheresmahbombs

F***ing hell.
A staff member of a restaurant (which is where I'm currently on holiday in Greece) was smoking indoors, even though there was an albeit dated-looking poster stating that smoking is prohibited indoors.

I have a tough time dealing with the smell of tobacco and weed. These days, I can overreact to the smell, trying to hold my breath and cough in the presence of tobacco or weed.

And speaking of smoking, it's a shame that it probably won't be any time soon when the oral use of tobacco and weed will stop.

TG1

Listening to the radio this evening and they spent about 5 minutes discussing how "men with beards looking up" has gone viral. That's TAing enough but then when I got home I actually caught myself googling it.... Very TAd (but...... Also, giggling stupidly to myself because in fairness, it's a bit hilarious......)

Do you fart in the bath?
What's the difference between a dedicated fan and a groupie?
Can you smell colours?
Do you Twitter?

Almost missed my flight, was last to board. I suffer from anxiety especially travelling and especially travelling alone. Had a cry at the wrong gate because it was closed and then realised it was the wrong gate. On the plane now and trying not to cry and just calm down.

Just think of the destination Cleo & meeting your parents. Not the journey.
