Because that's just the way it is there Maj, anyone on a scooter for whatever reason gets that privilege

Obviously some people have hidden disabilities but the amount of fatties you see there on scooters suggests they can't all have them

[broadsword]

People who don't lift their chairs when pulling them out and putting them in again.

[Mike E]

People who flick their long fringe with their head instead of tucking it away with a finger.

I don't see why having a trolley means you should get to jump the queue, surely sitting in the line is easier than standing.

Fatties wouldn't get a trolley in Majiland, they'd get a dog collar and be tied to a treadmill until their slim again. Although it is funny watching them squeeze their giant asses into the trolleys wee seat.

Haha, Majiland! I can't even begin tonimagine what that place would be like!!

[Guest Norbert]

Come to Devon, shop-mobility trolleys drive down the middle of the roads there. Crazy people.

Tom why didn't you say something I would have?

I've lived in South East Devon, and I can say that Bridlington (aka Royston Vasey-on-sea) is far worse in terms of spaz chariots in the summer. If you're a pedestrian, you're being shunted onto the road by these infernal machines, thus increasing your chances of needing one in the future. Then you can be genuinely disabled and get disability allowance, unlike the other benefit fiddling cabbages that inhabit that part of the world.

[donnermeat]

When people say 'rocking the ______' as a term for wearing something, be it an item of clothing, jewellery or whatever. Annoys me that.

[broadsword]

Yes, or replacing "turn up" with "rock up".

"The post has rocked up".

Huh?

[Majiball]

Make me PM and you'll all find out. Not sure you'd like maji's version of HS2 but it's more fun and you get a free munch.

Oh yes plenty of benefit people living in Devon these days. The trolleys drive me mad, the lanes are all 60 mph in Devon, high bankings so you can't see too far along the road you turn a blind corner and there they are doing 5 mph in the middle of the road when your surrounded by bankings that will flip you if you get it wrong. They're not allowed on roads and one day there will be a serious accident.

Are you serious? After the economic and social damage the last sweaty did as PM? No thanks.

you'd love it theno, bye bye welfare state.

[Guest Norbert]

Wasn't Blair born in Scotland too?

I can't think of the last Scottish born PM before that.

[donnermeat]

People saying 'kicks' instead of trainers.

[Mike E]

The word 'reem'.....ugh. It's invading the north :/

Yes he was. As leader of the opposition Blair succeeded Smith and New Labour was stacked high with scots in senior cabinet roles.

[T.J.Newton]

having to work under 2/3,4,.... faced, lying, completely self centred, bullshiiting, back stabbing gobshytes (which I think technically makrs them borderline psychopaths)

[broadsword]

'new Labour' - the name itself is redolent of focus groups, marketing and style over substance.

Tony Blair is the embodiment of the dysfunctional nature of politics today. Polticians now are low on convictions and principles and high on filling their own pockets and telling people what they want to hear.

I have no time for any of them

[jim mk2]

Governments and Cabinets stuffed with Old Etonians and Oxbridge types none of whom know what it's like to live in the real world.

Saw an interesting show about psychopaths yesterday. Apparently the psychiatrists were asked to pick out examples in movies, and they said the best example was Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. And they told the story of a guy who very nearly convinced everyone he had some sort of split personality, and therefore not be charged with a series of murders, and sent to a loony bin instead.

Anyway, I'll be disappointed if Andy Murray won Sports Personality, but I don't dislike him enough to rant about it. Chris Froome or Mo Farah for me.

Oh and about politicians. They often have no experience of 'the real world', as they seem to go to public schools, then a top university, work their way up through a political party, either as MPs, activists, or Special Advisors (sort of party alternatives to the civil service) and then get in the cabinet. A few may be former doctors, or ex-military but most have never worked in a factory, ran their own small business or whatever.

Or the price of a pint of milk. Or this weeks howler - The chancellor having no idea how much it costs to fill up a Vauxhall Astra with petrol.

I saw that. Bankers came top of the list of psychopaths, no surprise there then.

[adopted scouser]

Posters on forums (not this one) who assume some kind of mod status based on the number of posts they have submitted.

The number of nasty comments aimed at Abbey Clancy for steaming through SCD at the moment, Daily Mail types the lot of them.

[broadsword]

it would be interesting to see the statistics for occupations taken up by those who bullied at school. banking would be a top one I'm sure.

Funny, as I was looking at the web page, and there is a little test they had, that gave you a percentage for how far along the line you might be (I got 39%). They did an average score according to what paper you read, and the Financial Times was way out ahead with 68%. The Daily Star was second with 54%.

[T.J.Newton]

police force would be the absolute top, id imagine.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

You'd do well in a school then !

Ramsey McDonald, another sell out merchant. I used to call Blair Ramsey McBlair.
