michael_bolton Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 ******* ******* shitting insomnia! I've averaged about 3 hours sleep a night this week. Dead on my feet exhausted at points during the day, have a nap in front of the telly at night but when I need to go to sleep, nothing. I get this for at least a fortnight once a year. Started 7 years ago and I've only had one year without it. This year I just accepted it. Didn't fight it. Got up and watched tv and just accepted I'd be tired at work. Works as well as anything else.

Ribble Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Blokes wearing footwear without socks. Especially 'smart' shoes. Morons. There was one guy on our cruise ship recently that done that very thing, the seethe from my mrs was unreal! Worst footwear the guy had on were what can only be described as the kind of plastic sandals that you would see on a 3yr old girl, utterly horrific!

The Future's Maroon Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 An old boss of mine wore sandles one day without socks....if that wasnt bad enough he also had his nails done with that Shellac (black) stuff that bursd get done? He actually tried to have a go at me about something (we didnt get on at all) and I promptly turned to him and said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "Look Andy, I cannot take a row man with nail varnished toes seriously" - he replied "its shellac not varnish", to which I quipped back "even worse" and walked out for a smoke break in disgust at him...even his boss was creasing herself! He was a big, well built, trendy married man, not gay as you may have thought after reading that. I still cringe thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korf123 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 People at work who moan when you give them something to do at 915 saying, "you've been waiting for me to get in haven't you?" Eh naw, you're meant to start at 9 and you've left early every night this week you skiving ****. Plus you get paid 5k a year more than me to do a half assed job.

Cut it out now or you may end up like me. Not grea. I sleep 3 hours a night for the last 15 years and it's enough. Plus point is you can listen to up all night on radio 5. Pretty much the best radio going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Not sleeping again so rewatching the home leg against Liverpool. So many comments from the commentators about the noise and atmosphere, and the stunning piece of skill and interplay between Taoul and Novikovas around the 10 minute mark!! EDIT. Our cup final side would have taken this game. Edited October 18, 2014 by Tazio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shapes Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Waking up in the middle of the night with horrendous cramps and having to take cocodamol and wait for it to kick in before there's any chance of getting back to sleep. Another one here with general sleeping problems though. It's rare that I'll sleep through the whole night. I actually thought it was a normal thing to wake up 5 or 6 times during the night I don't nap so it can't be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm up for work at 5am most days, with the result that I wake up around that time even on my days off. It's so frustrating, particularly when I know I've got a busy day/night ahead of me. I'll probably be ready for a nap about kick off time today.

The Future's Maroon Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Its probably been mentioned by someone, at least once, but another from me is people in the supermarket. 1. Folk who stroll about like they are out for a Sunday stroll. 2. Folk who abandon their trolly anywhere - or the ones who use it as a battering ram, just say excuse me. 3. Folk who think its a family day out and there is about eight of them, I do not include folk there with their kids because that can't be helped I guess. 4. Folk who getting into a conversation in the middle of the ally/lane and block it for others getting passed and then look at you like you have horns growing out your head if you say excuse me. 5. Folk who park in the 'parent/child' spaces when they have no kids with them (a empty child seat in the car doesn't count). I often get these idiots told as I feel its my duty, especially when I have just parked two miles from the main entrance and spot someone who has done this. 6. Old folk at the shop on a busy Saturday, why? They have all week to do their shopping so why choose to go on the busiest day of the week, most of us have things like work which stops us going during the week...have a little consideration and get yer shopping in during the week. Not completely linked to supermarkets but Walkers....for putting cheese n onion in blue packets and Salt and vinegar in green packets!!

Guest C00l K1d Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Just about had a really bad smash on the inverness road last night. Was on a single carriageway and the boy infront was doing about 45, road was well clear infront of me there were cars way in the distance but i had plenty time to overtake. Knocked it down a gear and went to go past and the idiot sped up. I was doing 70 when i finally got back in and i mustve been about a bawhair away from smashing into the car coming the other way, and only just nipped infront of the car who sped up Not sure why people do this tbf, he was doing 45 ffs surely he expects people to overtake him.

ArcticJambo Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Folk who don't put their hand brake on at the lights. Instead, they sit with their foot on the brake pedal, blinding me with the 32 ultra-bright red lights on the back of their over-sized piece of shite. Better just to keep it on the biting point but occasionally letting the car roll back scaring the folks behind. If you ****-up you can just accuse them of running into you.

There's also something called the Kate Kennedy Club, which as far as I can see exists solely so rich people can 'network'. Was having a conversation with some bursd the other day and after a while it got to the stage of asking where she was from. Although not the poshest up here, she had what I thought was a pretty posh southern English accent and I was fully expecting Kent or London or something (like most people here who aren't American).

The Internet Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 People that just lie about utterly nothing stuff for no apparent reason. My girlfriend's mate seems to have fallen for an age-old internet rumour that Jimmy Chungs was being closed down because they were found to be using pigeon meat. Fair enough, but when she told my girlfriend this she said that she had phoned Jimmy Chungs and the person she spoke to told her they were being closed down for that reason.

The Internet Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ah right yeah I meant the girl was lying (she is known to exaggerate, or just talk nonsense, at times), not the person she supposedly spoke to Should have been clearer there. Apparently she phoned up to book a table and got told that they were closing as above. So unless she phoned the wrong number and spoke to someone with a pretty good sense of humour, she's talking shite and that annoys me.
