Just Katie Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Getting engaged - why?People who use big words unnecessarily because they believe it makes them seem more intelligent. - No, it makes them seem insecure.British people who let the nation down whilst wearing socks and sandals abroad (especially with a panama hat) - I have nothing to say on that one.

Furry Knickers Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Emancipation is the biggest word I know. Poor owl Mary Hoolihan used to suffer terrible with it, she would be all swollen up like a balloon for weeks. They gave her bottles of calamine lotion to cure it, but it just made her fart like a mad thing. They often say that the disease is worse when it's cured, well that was the case for her anyway, because she died when it cleared up.[kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 People who make sure you share their conversation from three tables away, over lunch or dinner - after lunch today I know an awful lot more than I ever need to about Florida, Disneyland and the Epcot centre but also that the people will never go back because 'after all there is nowhere in the world worth going after you have seen New Zealand' !Parents who make no attempt to ensure their children behave appropriately for any given situationMotorists who overtake me, at speed when I am correctly positioned and signaling to go down the outside lane of a two lane road off a roundabout Motorists who use my brakes - use your own !Cyclists who cycle on the road when there is a clearly marked and empty cycle lane a foot away - why ? (and buy the way did the man cycling along a busy B road in Henley with his small child being pulled along in a mini rickshaw type thing, think he was being GREEN ? The child was nicely level with all pasing cars exhaust !!!)Supermarkets that stock beefburgers 4 inches across but tell you the branch you are in is to low a grade to stock the right size rolls !!!Why do they sell burger rolls in 6's when they sell burgers in 4's????Anyone who calls me a grumpy old woman [:D][:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 1. People who invite you to their hen party/stag night, which these days turns out to mean anything from a long weekend to one week in Prague/Dublin/Berlin.2. People who have been living together for years, get married, and still present their friends and relatives with ridiculously expensive lists of gifts.3. People who choose to get married in some remote castle in Scotland; Anyone who has already been suckered by number 1 and 2 would not be able to afford to attend anyway, but it still gets my goat.
