I mean, is there shop that caters specifically as they all look the same? Seen some pictures of that Reminisce this weekend and it's samehead central and that's lads as well as girls.

"Reminisce Festival, you have broken me but it was so good going to Reminisce Festival because I've been going to Reminisce Festival since it started in the year that Reminisce Festival was first invented to provide a day out like Reminisce Festival"

 

Just in case their "FaceAIDS Friends" didn't know they'd been to Reminisce Festival and where the 10,000,000,000 selfie photos came from.

"Living his/her best life". What's wrong with posting "I'm enjoying this"? Oh no, we have to have stupid trends brought on by spackers.

Or just don't post it at all and enjoy your own moment and not feel the need to look for other people's affirmation

Heard that reminisce was an absolute disgrace. Serves anyone right for going in the first place. Greedy bastards

Yeah sounds like they sold too many tickets.

Took some people 2 hours to get in.

Yeah, like that Spike Island gig a few weeks back, I gave my tickets away to a mate who went instead. Started queuing to get in at half twelve, it was half three before they got in and got first round of drinks.

 

I'm alright for stuff like that.

This.

 

Plus all the usual overcoming whatever "illness" she has that week.

My driving licence has to be medically reviewed every 3 years. I am disabled, so my car has been modified with hand controls, which make me just as competent a driver as I was before.

 

I filled the form in when I received them with all the relevant information and posted it to them on the 16th of June.

 

I still hadn't heard anything last week so after trying to contact them for virtually the full week, I finally managed to speak to someone.

 

They took receipt of my application on the 28th of July, which is 6 weeks after me posting it.

After asking how much longer it would be, because it was 3 weeks late last time, his reply was it would probably be considerably longer this time, using Covid as an excuse. 

 

I asked why they didn't issue the forms earlier if they knew there would be delays. The excuse was it's the computer.

 Such convenient excuses for the lack of foresight, ineptitude and incompetence of the Ministry of Transport.

 

My licence expires tomorrow, so now I won't be able to drive for weeks, possibly months, and to top it all, if and when my licence gets reissued, it will be a continuation of my old one and not from the actual date it was reissued.

 

How many people are waiting for them to do what everybody else who has to work for a living does, and actually do their job?

 

Fucking pisses me off. Wankers.

The YouTube update that’s made it so on here you can’t scroll past a video without it starting to play. It’s pissing me off.

I haven't come across that yet, I hope it stays that way.

I'm sure its been said before, but people stepping in front of you, then walking at a slightly slower speed than you. You have to decide whether to a) properly speed up and overtake, looking like a mincing speed-walker in the process, b) slow down and accept it, or c) maintain your current pace and commit to a slooow overtake, which will leave you side by side for an awkward amount of time.

Richard Ashcroft solved this problem in the 90's.

People who won’t leave the house promptly. Mrs Williard comes out, remembers something goes back in “for a moment” and takes ages to reappear whilst I’m left sitting in the car waiting. Drives me fucking mad.

That just doesn't sound right. I'll always know her as Mrs. Kutz.

My Mrs has got a bit of OCD. She checks the gas knobs on the hob countless times before we go to bed and then goes back and checks them again.

 

She checks the lock on the front door countless times before we go out as well even putting her shoulder against the door.

We'll get in the car and she'll say " I did check that front door didn't I?... and the gas?.

 

I just let her get on with her ritual, but fuck me it's annoying.

Get her to take pictures of hobs being switched off and maybe videos of her testing the door is locked

I have started doing this type of stuff recently but hadn't done it much beforehand. Have to check the front door loads of times before bed even when I know it's locked and shut.

She'll never change mate, she's done it for as long as I've known her.

She knows she's being daft and she's never seen anyone about it, but she won't settle unless she does these things, but thankfully hasn't  manifested into other things apart from checking the kids were breathing when they were asleep.

It was a nightmare until they turned 2 and then it eased off. I must admit though I was a bit like that myself when they were babies.

I do that too. Mine is even sadder than that because ours is a leccy cooker. If it was gas I’d be checking it about 15 times. 
 

Also have to make sure the kettle, microwave and dishwasher are turned off at the wall as well as have a quick look at the fridge and make sure the freezer door is shut. 
 

The freezer door has never, ever been left open but it needs checking, just in case.

A mate's wife has something similar, she has to take a picture of birthday/wedding cards to make sure she hasn't called someone a cunt before she can send it or hand it over. Seems fucking awful to have that level of self doubt

It's strange the way the mind works in the way it compels you to do things before it can rest.

I always check things as well, but once I've checked that's it done.

Apart from where the kids were concerned when they were little that is.

That's the thing, she's a really confident and competent person. She's been a school caretaker since 1992, nothing fazes her, it's just the gas hob, doors and windows.

She's a strange one. Amazing, but strange.

Does she do call outs? I regularly leave my keys in the car, the car running, the keys in the door, my wallet in the open car etc etc.  She’d be busy but might enjoy it.

Nah, you're alright mate, she's got enough to contend with here.

Ta for your kind offer though.
