Fucking blister on my sole. It wouldn't have been too bad if I hadn't had to walk home on it.

On my way home I turned the corner and a neighbour was pulling out of his driveway. As the road here is narrow, and only fits one car at a time I stopped, reversed back around the corner and up another driveway to allow him through. Not so much as a nod. Not the merest acknowledgement from the cunt.

Noted! I will never, ever give that fucker the road again. I'll let him reverse out of my way every single fucking time I encounter him again. Twat.

Yep that behaviour fucks me right off as well when you let someone out and they give fuck all acknowledgment, that and the zero use of indicators on roundabouts..cunts

Such ballbag behaviour. It's so strange, I thought that kind of basic manners was beaten into all kids by their parents- I know it was for me. So that kind of entitlement would give me a twitch  :laugh: it would take a force if will not to give a smile and a wave to a neighbour for a start, nevermind someone who is doing me a favour. The dude was middle aged. He wasn't a little bratty teenager!

Cunts organising a stag do with 3 weeks notice, and making it the same weekend as the Siege... wankers!!

It's like that here in Edmonton too. Very rarely you'd get an acknowledgement from someone here for helping them out on the road. There's a real free-for-all/sense of entitlement on the roads here I find, people will really go out of their way to cut you off, even when it's totally unnecessary, so I guess that may be why they don't acknowledge because they already felt entitled to it.

I can't get used to it either, even after 11 years. The drivers in NI are so polite by comparison, and flashing the hazards as thanks is standard. They don't do that at all here.

I had an unhealed blister on my sole for 5 (5!) months. Hobbling around for nearly half a year. Last Fri there they finally just biopsy'd it out of there and put two stitches in. So I'm hobbling even more now, but at least I'm moving towards full healing at last.

Five months, fuck that. This one burst shortly after that so at least I got some relief. I've been in work boots most days since and so far so good... Socks are key, brethren.

They're quare enough all right.  I have a neighbour across the road from me who parks on the street, when he's getting in and out of the car he has the head down, won't look left or right to give a nod even though I'm out cutting the hedge or working in the garden, a few metres away.  I call out hello to him anyway, not to be dragged down to that level of English protestant behaviour.


"Lunch and Learn" - where the fuck did this nonsense come from?

An IT langball in our office introduced it first so we could all "learn" about phishing etc.
It was expected that everyone in the office turn up for it, on our time like, really???  FUCK RIGHT OFF YOU IT CUNT! Big wigs came around the floor to check that everyone was heading to the canteen for it.This is not what Connolly fought for! I was the only person that didn't go to. No thanks, my lunch break is my lunch break

That was months ago. But they did another this week via Teams. Again, fuck right off!
