I honestly have no idea what this means. It's the same when people bang on about licence fee and "left leaning BBC" or whatever.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Yet again some dog owning tosser this morning was letting their pooch piss all over my garden despite signs saying private garden not a dog toilet.

Mrs went out to remind them it's a private garden and she got told it's just urine, then called her a fat cow (she isn't) and you've only lived here for a short while so fk off.

This is a leafy village, not a fecking council estate!!

At least I know where I can go for a st now, she obviously won't mind if I use her garden.

Is there some way you could electrify your lawn, so that any pissing pooch got a shock where it would hurt most?

Everyone else? This time of year I'd say trouser-wearers are in the minority in the under 60s.

The same BBC who give a massive amount of coverage to Farage but pretty much none to the Greens who got the same number of seats?

There always seems to be people on the right complaining the BBC are too left with, and people on the left claiming they're too right wing, which suggests they're doing a reasonable job to me.

It sounds like you live where I am.

I live in a very big village, which looks nice, but I just find it snooty, snobby and it's got a huge majority of selfish dog owners. The amount of dog poo on the pavements is shocking. Also the amount of used/full dog poo bags hanging of endless trees, especially in forest areas.

The local park is basically a dog park, with them all roaming off loads and it being impossible to sit and enjoy the sun without another slobbery dog running over to you.

I will be moving in a couple of years back to civilisation

Is that the same BBC which has been, and continues to be today, The Official Nigel Farage Channel?

I worked in central London last year for a couple of months, private gardens in squares surrounded by ridiculously priced houses and flats.
I couldn't believe the amount of dog mess on the pavements, just seemed so out of character for the wealth of the area.

Not seen anyone in shorts today, of any age or gender.

Why do you say "this time of year" as if humans are not capable of self-determination and as soon as March arrives it's shorts weather, regardless of snow, sun, wind, rain, temps etc?

It was 12.5c here in Macc yesterday, and some people unable to dress appropriately were in shorts. Would they wear shorts in late October with temps of 12.5c? Of course not.

Who is to say whether it's appropriate or not? You don't get to make that decision for anyone other than yourself. I wear shorts between (roughly) April and November. I am not alone, but then we are in the south. My 2 x primary age boys wear shorts every single day, both at school and at home, sun, rain, or snow, and the eldest is dreading secondary school where he will have trousers. He genuinely does not own a single pair of long trousers, not even pyjamas.

QED. Selfish dog owners. It only takes a few to ruin it for the majority.

I'm the bloke who says 12.5c isn't warm enough to get your knobbly knees out. I'm backed by very nearly everyone I see, except a few man-babies like yourself. The fact you've inflicted your naked-knee beliefs on your children and are totally unrepentant shows how deranged you really are.

You don't have football club tattoos on either of your calves do you?

[FiF]

Not sure exactly why it registers but it does, but people wandering around the supermarket with an armful of shopping, not using basket or trolley, but just carrying loose stuff. If you're only popping in for 2 or 3 easily carried items, say for lunch, then that's fair enough, but I'm talking about folks with a pile of stuff precariously carried round cradled in folded arms, like one of those contestants on Crackerjack* if you remember that Friday afternoon childrens' TV show?

Just stop fannying around trying balance a packet of bog rolls on top of the mountain and then decide you need to nip back for some biscuits but make a total meal of picking something off the shelf because your arms are already full ffs!

by the way, just for the record,- * CRACKERJACK!!!!!!!!!!

Next time you should be there with the hose to wash the urine off your lawn as soon as it is deposited.

If stupid pooch and even more stupid owner get soaked, that would just be bad luck.

They're probably people like my wife who will nip in to the supermarket to buy some milk and reappear half an hour later with a massive bag of stuff because it turned out they had stilton on special, so she had to buy some crackers to go with it, and then some camembert and port salut because you can't just have stilton, and then some wine to go with it.....

Surely a man baby is someone who thinks 12.5c is too cold for shorts, I thought Northerners were supposed to be tough

Range Rover drivers, driving as close as they can. I know they’re really important but wish they’d just fk off.

What is it with these wkers. I’ve honestly not seen one of these of late being driven with consideration for anyone other than themselves. They expect the traffic to part like the Red Sea so they can continue ploughing forward at breakneck speed.

Narcissism. It's just the RR and other SUV type things are their current vehicle of choice.

Agreed. I nearly let one hit me on my rear quarter as he came around a fast bend over the white line the other afternoon coming home from work. He soon corrected himself as he realised I wasn't going to yeild (being well within my side of the road, knowing the road very well so holding a fast line and in a sh!tbox thats currently got an airbag light on 🤷‍♀️)

[Dr Murdoch]

It was me yesterday, went in for two items and then remembered a few more items that we needed, including milk and a big box of cat food, but I was either too lazy or stubborn (both?) to go back to the entrance to get a basket, so I valiantly struggled on....

Indeed. And speak for yourself on the knobbly knees front. Just because you haven't the physique to get away with shorts, doesn't mean the rest of us have to give 'em a miss.
