To be fair, if I knew I was in Manchester, I'd be brassed off as well.

 

Yeah that's it to be fair. I left Lime St at 7am in a good mood. Wet and miserable here.

Miserable and wet. Like Janice Battersby's growler.

The way the announcer on Northern service trains says “Manchester Oxford Road” she says it really stressy and it annoys the shit out of me. 

 

I used to love the way the satnav guy said Formby Bypass as Bye-Parse like he was the queens equerry.

you must get the same train as me - cant say I have noticed but no doubt will next week when I am in again. On a similar note, on the way home, they seem to have really maxed the volume for Whiston and Wavertree Technology Park when reading the stations out - knocked me out of my kip on the way home yesterday!

Haven't noticed that I'll keep my ear out! It's only on the Northern Services, listen out for the Oxford Road shout.

People in meetings who when asked for a brief introduction spend 5 minutes and give you their entire career history. Nobody gives a fuck, we’re just being polite.

Why do people feel the need to raise their fists when having their photo with a pro fighter. Do you make a pretend steering wheel if you get your picture took with Lewis Hamilton. Stupid.

People (family members) that change the dial on the toaster.

I love the passive-aggressive shit that goes down with those industrial toasters in hotels. I usually turn them up to eleven once my toast is done..

When you call someone on twitter a thick tory flagshagging cunt and they don't even have the courtesy to respond.

When you ask someone how they are and they actually tell you 

I fucking do this. Not always, but every now and again, if someone asks me when I’m in a period of overly-dwelling on some stuff, I just blurt it out. It’s not often, but I hear myself doing it immediately when I do, then get into an awkward point where I’m trying to opt out of the detail I am dishing out while maintaining at least some level of normality, which makes it even weirder for them.

There's a very precise sweet spot on ours, a fraction either way and it's either anaemic or burnt.

 

She blames me, but it's her. She puts it in a cupboard when it's cooled and obviously knocks the dial.

 

Why does she do this? She hates clutter.

One for the World of a Woman thread.

Yes to both of these.

 

I’ll add toasters that aren’t tall enough to cook a complete piece of bread. I’ve had to work ours out over the last 3 years to set it at about 60% of where I’d want it, so I can turn it over AND round, to make sure it’s even and the top and bottom are cooked. Having written this out I now realise it would probably just have been easier to buy a better toaster. Or grill it

I buy smaller bread to get around this but you're right, should have invested in a taller toaster.

Those small loaves, and especially the orange warburtons, need at least half a loaf before they even start to make a dent in even the slightest hunger.

 

Im going to get a new toaster and kettle today. Might even dress it up as an early birthday present for the wife. She will love that

Whilst this is all toaster themed, what about the toasters with the release mechanisms that they've recycled from crashed F16 fighter jet seats.

When you come to park your car somewhere and have to pay for the privilege and rather than put some coins in a slot or put your bank card in you can’t do either of those things and instead you either have to download a fucking shit app or phone some automated shite and enter your bank details that way and the whole process takes longer than you need to even park your fucking shitty car in said fucking shithole. 
 

Fuck off modern life you are shitter than VAR on a fucking shitty football pitch you fucking cunt.

Looking for the average price of new windows online. Anything between 800 quid and 40 billion pounds. Okay I'll look per window roughly mid range anything between 300 and 1 million pound per window.

When there’s a pothole in the road and there’s a car on the opposite side of the road at the exact same spot and no matter what you do you can’t avoid smashing into said cunting pothole. 
 

Even slowing down, the powers of the universe conspire against you because that car on the opposite side of the road will still be at the exact spot you don’t want it to be.
