Topic: The small things in life that really hannoy

[Barneylfc∗]

Wasn't intending to start a debate about women sleeping in trucks and shitting in bags 

But in 2024 it's disgusting that a woman can be celebrated for just grabbing her newborn kid and taking her 200 miles away and the father has no say in it whatsoever.

Obviously just a TV show, but it's a storyline that actually happens every day in real life.

Ticketmaster should die

Seeing Godspeed You! Black Emperor again in Oct, party time, drop an E, let the good times roll

Ticket is thirty bar

An extra tenner goes on for Handling Fees, Processing Fee and Site Fee and all that. Handle WHAT, it's a digital, generic, standing-room-only ticket??

Unless the parent is an absolute twat, kids need both parents there, it shouldn't be celebrated like you say.

Agreed. In mitigation we know someone where the dad's behaviour would totally justify her doing that.

The 2 manc families that arrived on Friday night to stay in the caravans next to us and think it's ok to disrespect where they are.

Constant noise, screaming, shouting, dogs barking, traumatizing the livestock and to cap it off they've left their dog shit on track to our house which they covered with leaves meaning I drove over it this morning and it's now squished into the gravel.

I had a run in with these last time they stayed when they kicked off after I asked them to keep the noise down at 11.30pm.

You can take the Mancs out of Manchester, but....

A'hhh so she sells sea shells . . . . . . . by the seashore.

[PaulF]

Except when people come into the store when it's raining. Then she sells sanctuary.

Any more of these puns and theres going to be a Revolution

[bradders1011]

The proliferation of mediocre American fast food chains coming into the country that get to charge premium prices because idiots will lap up a name they've heard on a sitcom.

The everlasting shitty rain.

Bang goes the plans to sit out around the Albert dock for just cough a few beers this afternoon before the Klopp event.

Everywhere is charging premium prices now. £9.80 for smashed avocado on sourdough toast in the cafe we went to yesterday.

Five Guys is quite decent taste-wise - as far as fast food goes.

But they're charging a fortune for it.

Search 'getting fucked by Five Guys'. There's loads of interesting videos on it.

[Elmo!]

We just got a Popeyes in Aberdeen and I thought it was pretty decent to be fair.

Five Guys i don't mind although it is pricey.  Burgers are pretty tasty for fast food

Taco Bell and the like are pretty grim though

I'll take your word for it.

Have we got Taco Bell in the UK now?

I've never been to Five Guys, as I'm not paying those prices for fast food - rather go buy a Wagyu burger from Aldi and cook that at home

We've a chicken place near us, its £7.49 for 8 strips of boneless chicken, fries and a drink, there's enough food for two people so the kids go there all the time

[Claire.]

there's a Taco Bell in town, it's very disappointing.

five guys is expensive but actually pretty good - I don't care how many people you're with, you will only need one order of chips, they multiply in front of your face.

Popeyes chicken is delicious, the gravy is really good, cajun chips lovely... for whatever reason whoever is making/baking the biscuits took the name literally and thinks they need to be the consistency of a fucking digestive so don't bother, they're also the size of a 50p which is nonsense.

I heard Mrs Rob loves the taste of Five Guys.

[Lee1-6Liv]

Went to our local chippy last week, £4.50 for small chips and curry sauce, bastards are charging £1.50 for the curry

Yeah. I always order just one small portion of chips if I'm getting a Five Guys delivered. They fill the whole bag with chips anyway. What's that about? haha.

Goes on the piste with Cantona.

You already have.

I thought it was really pricey though (we have one here, not tried yours).
But then I guess that's the point of them in this thread, all these takeaways seem pricey!

[Statto Red]

Chain takeaways are way overpriced, there's a Pizza Hut near mine which is £16.44 for a 13" pizza [& that's on offer, normal price over £20], an independent sells 12" pizza for around £10, the independent one is just as good as the chain pizza if not better, but better value for money.

The chain ones are ok if their doing one of the buy a pizza get one free offers, but not great for me when im single & live on my own.

Set up about 3 different Uber, Deliveroo, Justeat, etc, accounts. While you're using one, they send offers or credit to entice you back to using the dormant accounts. I never buy full price. Too pricey these days. I'd rather spend the money on decent grub to cook at home.
