We recently had an American friend come over and so the family took him to Middle Farm. Not because Americans have never seen a petting farm but so he could be introduced to decent cider and cheese and marvel at the legions of people in World of Warcraft t-shirts who still buy meade. Imagine my disappointment when the Mrs insisted we actually had to take the kids ROUND the petting farm first AND give them a go on the hay bales.
In my day they'd have been left in the car with a packet of crisps and a Panda Pop each while the adults got pissed as Lords and told jokes about poofters, before driving home half cut with the seatbelts off.
What is the world coming to?

when we were kids we used to play footy on dog shite spattered fields. once, a friend accidentally ate some poo and caught toxicara. nearly went blind, he did. kids these days don't get these life lessons. its all cotton wool wrapping and watch out for the peedos. we are literally breeding an entire nation of complete and utter pussies, quite frankly. everyone should be able to identify white dogs mess, and possibly taste it if need be. build up some of those antibodies. people of my generation aren't allergic to anything cos of the antibodies.

Oh the irony!
Got this yesterday in Harry Ramsdens. Had taken a chunk or two out of my haddock, waiter saunters over and says 'I see you're leaving the batter Sir, did you realise we can poach the fish instead if you don't like it?'
'Do you honestly think I would have ordered battered haddock if I didn't like batter ?'
****
I just heard some kind of whooshing sound.

Toilets you have to pay for, if a company is too tight to run this service out of their turnover then they'd shouldn't be in business. I always jump the barrier if I can get away with it.
People who eat really, really slowly.
People who drink their beers sooooo slowly it throws the whole round out.

I'm not even close to 40, nor do I own Billabong shorts and I think I might one Animal tshirt in the pile I wear when doing DIY - but due to frankenfeet the only shoes that I can buy in a normal shop that fit me are DC Court Graffik so its pretty likely I'll still be stuck with them >40

Some clothes shop gripes:
- Over-attentive assistants asking if you're "all right there"
- Over-hot changing rooms that make you feel sweaty as you're trying on stuff
- Feeling slightly ridiculous and self-conscious as you emerge from the changing room for the walk of shame to the mirror to look at yourself and say "Yes, I think that's fine" and turning round to look at your back in the mirror just in case it looks somehow wrong
- Changing room curtains that don't quite stretch all the way across your cubicle
- The fear of someone barging into your cubicle when you've taken your trousers off
- Waiting ages whilst they put your clothes in massive bags at the till

Aren't we an angry lot on here!!
People who drive 4x4s in London and think they own the road.
Not just London, The Yummy Mummies of West Chiltington merrily weave their Chelsea Tractors down the centre of our local backroads every School Run.
Although I suppose many of them will own their road in West Chilts.....

And me! The kids-standing-in-supermarket trolleys thing really pisses me off.
I'm talking about when they're actually standing in the bit of the trolley you put your purchases in, you know, parents: the place where I put my FOOD, and you're allowing your little darlings to jump around in, wearing shoes that quite possibly have trodden in dogshit, mud, piss, vomit and whatever else was on the pavement the last time you actually made them walk anywhere. Well done, mummies. Well done

People who write "peado's" when referring to sex offenders with a penchant for the young (where to start?) and also "here here!" as a means of endorsing what somebody else has just said.

With you on that one. I actually asked a load like like that if it was a theme night. Maybe they get a special deal if they buy 5 of the same shirt or something...

-People- usually in BMWs or 4x4s, it must be said, who park across two spaces in a car park, so as to give themselves plenty of room.
-Baby On Board stickers in cars.
-Eddie Howe and Harry Redknapp's media interviews
-That little chuckle John Motson does mid-sentence when commentating: "Well it does very much appear, Lawro, that [chortle] Arsene Wenger may have got more than he bargained for, I fancy!".
-John Motson's extended pronunciation of "Drogbaaaaaa"
-The Match of the Day producer who insists that the cameras must pan instantly to Roman Abramovich EVERY time Chelsea score. Why? Do we see Huw Jenkins celebrating when Swansea score? No. Why do the BBC think anybody gives a shit what some beardy, bug-eyed Russian billionaire thinks of Diego Costa's latest tap-in?

Indeed, plus you can throw in the alternative version, which also irritates the pants off me, " We will be ALL OVER the Singapore Grand Prix " etc etc.
