And so I have decided to let the following "reasons to be angry" ebb away into nothing ( at least for today)
- kids riding sports bikes ON THE PAVEMENTS
- Parents who say that their child "is my best friend"
- People that stink ( and who don't have a mental illness)
- People who stand chatting to old friends in the centre of Sainsburys food aisle
- People that drink cheap beer on the train at 9.30 am
and I shall leave you with this rather charming video of Tom Stephenson trying to work out his new web cam! Love the part where he asks HI to drop the front of her dress
Have a nice weekend everyone
I'd know Tom anywhere, but who's the belching guy next to him?
ReplyDeleteOoo! Are we having a "Love-In?" I'll be right there! GALLOP! GALLOP! GALLOP! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThey are quite the pair aren't they? Which one is Tom?
ReplyDeleteDelightful.
ReplyDeleteGood to let things go, difficult, but good.
The video is too cute [and slightly too much what occurs at my house although with significantly less swearing] Sorry to hear you had a rough night at work. Odd, we rarely have alcohol based admissions but frequent drug related ones - they either took too much and didn't mean to or meant to and didn't take enough to quite get the job done.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite right - let go of what you can't control. Rant away if it helps chase those demons.
hugs

I'm definitely with you on number 4, John. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are so foolish indeed in our salad days- love that term..
ReplyDeleteI agree with all your points! I am going to add to the list:
Teenagers roaring down a road while talking on the cell phone, oblivious to those walking their precious dogs (leashed)
Love the video. Happy weekend xo
Parents using pushchairs as a weapon
ReplyDeleteTeenage toerags riding mopeds through our quiet streets at 3am. Especially the ones that use the alleyway as a cut through. If only I could find a make your own traffic stinger website....
I see now why Tom is such an imp! He has a capable assistant.
ReplyDeleteI saw that video on the news and unfortunately, could relate.
ReplyDeletePet peeve of my summer-
Young people racing their loud, high performance cars up and down my winding country road at night. The noise is deafening, they run over animals, and one day they will possibly kill themselves. They usually start this about 9 pm, while I am sitting outside enjoying the night sounds. However, youth doesn't care - I remember doing things annoying when I was young also.
The video is all over the news here --I think Tom is a star!!
ReplyDeleteOK, you jokester! I see this video on Huffington Post and it gives the names Bruce Huffman, 86, and his wife, Esther, 79, of the Hillside Retirement Community in McMinnville, Oregon.
ReplyDeleteGood, though.
jan..I am actually tickled pink that you thought it COULD be tomas!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to watch this video with broadband on a go slow. Can somebody out there give BT a good kick up the 80's. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteAs an addition to number 4; people who always choose to gossip in doorways, and then give you a dirty look when you try to use said doorway!
ReplyDeleteThat couple is adorable. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeletePet peeves - I've got a few! I think it helps to have a rant now and then.
Please add people who let their young kids run riot in the grocery store, baggy gangsta pants (trousers),people who ignore me when I hold the door open...hold on... I'm getting pi**ed off...time to go.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Good smiles today - peace
ReplyDelete'Just for today' the idiots have al gone past you. And I wish you a better day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love that video
ReplyDeleteMy husband is wonderful about letting things go..makes me want to smack him. ;)
Oh yes!!! What has happened to parenting that parents need their kids for best friends, poor unfortunate kids?
ReplyDeleteIf people want to drink themselves to death and stink it's their choice but I feel very sorry for those who have to deal with them.
Better day tomorrow?
That's what you call "Mature-aged serendipity" lol!
ReplyDeletevery funny, and yes in with the love,
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
I thought you were serious! I was all ready to go over and congratulate Tom on his sudden ascent to fame. (Is it better to be gullible than cynical?)
ReplyDeleteReasons to be angry:
*@#*!!*@#$ squirrels
Reasons to be happy:
The two pears and one apple they didn't destroy are practically perfect and almost ready to pick!
Dia
Your list is way too short!
ReplyDeleteWhat ? Not a single comment from the real Tom ? Nerve. Must've hit one.
ReplyDeleteThose idiots are job security for people in your field. And if they're really stupid, job security for people in my field.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it!! Also love the fact that Google keeps putting an advert across the bottom which says 'Look ten or fifteen years younger' - is it trying to tell Tom something.
ReplyDeleteLike your list - could I add motor bikes that weave in an out of the traffic on country roads and creep up silently behind one (usually on double white lines) and also dog owners who do not pick up their dog poo.
When I was in hospital last year they brought in a pretty young girl suffering from too uch drink and rolled her on to the bed in the recovery position and just left her - she was still asleep twelve hours later - I think everyone in hospital gets fed up with it John.
That's a good short list, and a good thing to do.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you all, John.
Drives me nuts when a parent claims to be his/her child's best friend. You are not supposed to be your child's best friend. You are supposed to be his/her parent!!
ReplyDeleteThe video was adorable, although I see shades of myself and hubby 20 years down the road...
I saw this couple on CNN recently...hubby and I had a good laugh. So this is Tom ;) Glad you were able to let things 'go'.
ReplyDeleteMaura :)
