Bar staff who are incapable of noticing who next to serve - but when they do get round to you, insist on asking you 'anything else' despite your knowledge that they are not capable of keeping more than one drink in their heads.
I once had the following conversation when ordering just two drinks:
Pint of Pedigree and a vodka and diet coke please.
Single or double? Single.
Smirnoff or Absolut? - Smirnoff's fine.
Ice and lemon? Yes, please.
Pepsi OK (instead of Coke)? Yes, fine.
Was that diet or normal? Diet.
Would you like a straw in that? Why not.
What beer was it again?
Would I be right in thinking that the one is owned and operated whereas the other is just managed or maybe even a concession? Maybe, just like English/British food was the butt of jokes a (comparatively) small number of years ago, we will eventually, find a way of running small scale enterprises that resemble the best American and continental ones - I just don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime with Subway.You want amazing? Watch and be in awe of a barman in a busy Italian espresso bar - coffee, change, chat flying in all directions, a constantly changing twenty-ish number of customers, only the briefest of waits, pastries served. Fantastic! It does rather set one up for annoyance when next one visits a Costa in UK, though.
Have you read Orwell's '1984'? It's all part of the plan, Nishy.Chill pills! Now that I'm not practising I can whole heartedly say how the NHS go about dishing these out is mental in itself. A questionnaire, asking, 'are you depressed?' should not qualify someone to NEED anti-depressants. Aren't we all depressed and happy at various times, isn't that just life? Obviously they are an aid to some, that is recognised, but for others is it just too expensive to offer counselling or otherwise?! Easy fix...short term.
Chuggers.... Whilst I understand they are being paid to do a job, why do they think they have the right to assault peoples personal space. I was walking down a high street when I came across a couple loitering with intent, and one said you look unhappy and went to give me a hug! When I explained that it wouldn't be in their best interest they got all stroppy! Now I understand I might have got myself into trouble, but I would have just used the I thought he was trying to mug me excuse. Wonder if that would have worked for decking the idiot???

THEY'RE BACK!!!
A certain other shave forum has reintroduced their Annual Awards. Like last year, there is no explanation of the testing/assessment process of products i.e. how they have reached the award veridcts and yet the results are thrust on people with an uncomfortable sense of all-knowing authority.
The "like it or lump it attitude" from the administrators when people start to discuss and critique their decisions is getting boring frankly, and I also find the comments from folks lapping up the awards with over zealous enthusiam quite irritating too. Does anyone else bother with this other forum or is anyone else irritated in these awards again?
Normally I find this forum to be quite acceptable... maybe this is why I am so disappointed to see this event again.
Smug bastard - bet you bought the Techno-remix version an' all.Pah!
Fucking doddle.
Enjoyed them so much, I bought the CD!
