Oh patchouli. The scent of college indeed. One of my friends used to rub it into his clothes and I fell victim to this gimp habit as well. What a fucking tool I was. The smell of it now makes me want to lash out.
I’m quite lucky in my workplace that you are told straight out you are a smelly fucker.
We have designated it a safe zone. By that I mean all pc shit is left at the door.

That was how this place used to be when I started working here nearly 15 years ago. There was always a bit of back and forth, slagging etc. etc.  but never mean spirited.

Nowadays... Christ - if you tell some of the younger lads to cop on or watch their time-keeping they nearly start a fucking tribunal.

The youth of today are full of self righteous nonsense. We all were at that  period of our lives - in our twenties. However as it’s been discussed many times before the power and saturation of social media makes out up and coming colleagues believe their way to be the best way and all opinions count.
Yes they do but they doesn’t make them correct. 
I firmly believe empathy is needed as is being able to tell someone to shut their smelly arsehole mouth.

Patchouli oil is awful smelling stuff.  I was at a gig a few years ago and a chick walked in to the venue and stank the entire fucking room out of it.  The venue was,  shall we say, a bit lax in terms of the rules and loads of people were smoking but the eye watering bang of patchouli oil hammered through every other aroma straight to the back of the skull. It's horrendous.

I'm sure I put this up before, but news stories which include the twitter reaction of some scrote nobodies.


Yeah that confuses me. I use the BBC Sport to follow the soccer and rugby if I'm out and can't watch it, and between updates, 'Guy from Herefordshire' thinks 'Brown has to do better there IMHO'. Fuck off and let me know what's happening!

Someone took it upon themselves to trim back my rose bushes.  >:( Those thorns were there to keep the kids away from my windows dammit!

Money Super Maaaahkeeeeht...

I had a right good peeve thought of there a minute ago, and then I forgot about what it was.

That's one in itself

My old ipod finally bricked up after 10 years good service

More of a pet peeve against myself, but just an observation that when your mind gets into certain grooves and patterns it's very hard to shift it out of them.

That's why I don't smoke the # till I'm drunk...  :laugh:

Fridge fucking up. Right on a Friday evening.
8 years old. They don't make them like they used to.

They don't make anything like they used to. Almost everything is cheap disposable shite unless one pays the same as they did 20 or 30 years ago accounting for inflation. So a 500 punt stereo might be 1500 euro now, where the 500 euro yoke will be way shitter. Cheap, lead-free solder has a case to answer as well.

Cars are one of the worst offenders for being relatively useless compared to a couple of decades ago

The lack of getting laid because of this Virus.
