Can I nominate Boris Johnson for saying we should plant more London Plane trees? I'm sure that anyone working or living in London over the past few days will understand why...over a period of about two weeks, they all suddenly decided to shed their little seeds, which are spiky, horrible little fibres of nastiness that make a beeline for your eyes and respiratory system. You can SEE them in the air.
I am normally feeling the love when it comes to trees, but London Plane trees? Pass me the chainsaw.
Annoying young kids who look all of maybe 9 or ten who go around smoking and swearing and generally being abusive thinking they are so clever..
Sarah Jessica Parker, she has a face like a foot...
Oh and finally the annoying people who walk on the pathway along the back of my house really early hours of the morning where my bedroom happens to be and then decide to stop and have either a huge arguement, stab/mug people (yes that has happened) or have sex against my garden wall.....(i'm only jealous)
Goodness, I think I need a break, what a rant! lol
Mrs Sossidge, love trees and London Plane's are gorgeous most of the year but (coughing, sneezing and spluttering) you have got a point... Maybe part of the problem is the unseasonably dry weather and lack of green grass to 'mop up' the seeds. So I'll nominate those who are doing nothing to stop global warming and everyone concreting their front gardens.
Looks at Wikipedia... RichardB I think the important thing they miss out is the tree's bark: it comes off in flakes so the trees end up a mosaic of different colours, especially in poluted areas where the oldest bark can be nearly black. Other flakes are creams and greys. Makes for some great pictures against blue sky in winter...
I spent my Saturday night on the phone to so called technical support about BT vision after trying to watch an on demand film, then after 11/2 hours they decided to book an engineer to come out who didn't turn up between 12:00 & 18:00 yesterday. According to BT he apparently did come round and one of my neighbours said we were out all day total b***sh*t as they all work all day.
I want to slap folks who think opening a window will always make a room cooler... Actually if the outside temperature is scorching it will not... this is talking as someone who has a hot south facing livingroom, and knows I can keep it cooler in summer by keeping the curtains and windows closed during the day (I do open windows... at night). Very often as I walk in from my north-facing, semi shaded doorway it's noticeably much cooler inside.
Double slaps for folks who open windows when there's airconditioning on inside.... makes the airconditioning a totally pointless, power burning, global warming producing waste.
I know I have already had a few on my slap list, but can I add the "White van man" who thought driving 2 inches from my bumper this morning was a good idea.
Funny though, he back off when I put my brakes on and gave him a right mouhtful out the the window.
Ooh in that case add the numpty souped up Clio driver who drove 2 inches away from my bumper.
Yes, I shall drive faster just for you mr Numpty, I'm sorry for holding you up from your oh so important business. You are obviously so much more important than I. I can tell this by your impatient weaving behind me. I realise that the 50 mph speed limit does not apply to you. Here, let me pull over and let you pass so you can go on your way at 70mph......yeah right!!
The tosser who thought up phone filter systems that require you to ... press 1 for customer services, press 2 for accounts, press 3 for administration, press 4 for service, press 5 for new accounts, press 6 for activating a thermo nuclear explosion to end it all!!!!!!!

No slap for this chap (or chapess) only a slow painful death would be good enough for the torment cause on the world by the "push 1 for sales, push 2 to be cut off, push 3 for suicide"

Can I nominate people who enjoy getting slapped in a thread about serious slapping?
Slaps all round....
