You lose tolerance with delusional fools like atW and CyberCretin.

I find I have more tolerance with idiots such as Sasgarbage !!

And what the fashion of wearing trousers half pulled down your legs all about?

It's called Droopy Drawers, and is supposed to be macho. But it looks blatantly gay to me.

(But then biker leather gear and whiskers like a walrus used to be thought macho ..)

I was up at my parents the other day and got one of their unsued phones talking to the other Dect compatible phone. Anyway I thought I'd make a note on how to do speed dialling on it for them. It comprised just two steps.

1. Press the [draws the icon] button until the name of the person you want to call comes up.
2. Press the green [draws the icon] button

Just to be sure I asked Mother to pretend she was phonmeing me...First thing she did was press the 1. key. D'oh!

Just had to practically kick two students out of my way to get enough room to walk down the corridor...

They're lucky I don't have anything to do with the marks they get...

Which part of "Excuse me" was so difficult to understand...

"Yo! Bitch! F--k off outta my mothaf--kin' way! BITCH!!" is, I think, the latest idiom.

Actually I think it’s the old farties who are rude and inconsiderate, pushing into queues, claiming their pensioner privileges and ranting about young people today; most of the young folks I meet are quite polite and friendly.

True - I had a debate with an old geezer who tried to push into an airport check in queue ahead of me - he was all new agey "like why be so heavy about it man, does it really matter" so I informed him if it was really of so little consequence I couldn't see why he needed to be ahead - and retook my original place in the queue :-)

GB is looking older. When he first took over from TB his hair was totally black. I saw him on the news yesterday and he's going very grey/silver - perhaps he's been inspired by Darling?

Darling seems to be a bit undecided about whether to age or not. His eyebrows are making a last stand.

I thought politicians were getting younger. Prime Ministers anyway?

I thought politicians were getting younger. Prime Ministers anyway? Are managers also getting younger? I thought these used to be older guys?

I saw Douglas Hurd recently and he looks ANCIENT.

Not only policemen look young - so do politicians....

Yep, in my day kids were rude and couldn't spell. Now it's pensioners
