1. When you finally nail the spot that has grown up your nose and the damn thing just leaks rather than expires with a satisfying CRACK.

2. The recent series of Dr Who.

The argumentative nature of the forum this week. Is it a full moon or something?

If I hear one more argument about how a sexist minister got her tits out for a post nativity MMA v TKD smackdown atheist calendar, I'm going to scream.

+1 - after all that pain as well....

How easy it is to put on weight.

How hard it is to lose weight.

When you open a bag of crisps only to discover that they weren't properly sealed and have gone all soft.

When you pump up tubeless tyres and the beads just sort of sneak onto the rim rather than popping on with a couple of proper loud bangs.

When you put effort in, and expect a window rattler, but the fart is a mere gentle rasp.

2. The recent series of Dr Who.

Glad I'm not the only one - I gave up halfway through this series and I've loved it since the reboot with Christopher Eccleston.

I have no comment to make regarding spots in the nose though.

Not knowing if the Star Wars spoilers thread contains any actual spoilers and being too afraid to read just in case...

Cambridge. You expect so much of this hub of excellence and knowledge, but you get a small market town with bloody students everywhere and no bloody parking.

The internet. As much as it's good, it's full of complete rubbish and I really expected a lot more of it by now. VR, AR, AI. It's just been ruined by funny cat videos and cybercrime.

On the contrary, it's been really rather excellent, the last few episodes in particular have been superb.
But then I can compare them to the dross that came after Tom Baker, and even Hartnell and Troughton had a fair few that were mediocre, to say the very least.
Hmmmm, so much life, so [i]many[/i] disappointments...
Getting the lottery notification that you're a winner, and it's £2.36... 😐

Being self-employed.
Realising that the great offer I've just received for the 2 boats I have on ebay is from someone in Poland.OK, I'll let the auction run.

The same line about rim tape being repeated

[quote=perchypanther ]The argumentative nature of the forum this week. Is it a full moon or something?

It's not as good as when TJ and Fred were here, is it?

Not being imaginative enough to create a hilarious name for a Strava segment which when you do create find the only other people to ride it are due to GPS errors.

Christmas .

The box of crackers where every motto was 'It is often better economy to buy better quality' ran out of humour after #5

Cheap cordless power tools.
Cheap printer cartridges
Anything on offer attatched to a petrol pump ( led torch / sockets set)
When you open up your 'BIG TASTY' to find it is neither and doesnt look like the giant picture over the counter. ****ers.
