Never mind the popular page, I'm having a rant
I was in the bank the other day, having walked there in the rain, and had to wait in a queue as usual. Behind me was an old bloke who was whistling.

Now, I've been known to whistle. Quite often in fact. But when I do so, it's at least vaguely musical, with a decent pure tone and a recognisable melody. This geezer though made little breathy whistles, almost under his breath, and I struggled to make out anything of a tune, except for one 2-bar phrase which seemed to be repeated frequently. It was doing my head in.

Finally I got to the head of the queue, and attempted my transaction, only to be told that I needed 2 forms of ID to do this particular thing, and I didn't have enough. So I had to leave and resign myself to a repeat visit the following day. But as I walked out of the door, just behind me the old cunt was right there, still whistling that same little tuneless phrase.

I didn't do anything of course. But I really wished I'd had a referee's whistle in my pocket so I could have blown it right in his annoying old face. Loudly.

Sorry for the lack of any point to this story. I just felt like a rant.

Fucking old people, why won't they hurry up and die already?

He was probably deaf
And thought he was whistling silently. But it annoyed the hell out of me.

4 hours on a train in Spain with an old woman siniging the same 2 bars over and over...

Oh, that hurts
I had a minidisc player. In fact I still use my hi-fi MD deck.

yeah me too, playlists aren't as engaging as a mixtape/disc somehow

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:12, Reply)

I have an MD player and I'm a whippersnapper.
It was a funky electric blue. I made a Rammstein collection with my first recordable disc. Ahh the memories.

Pfft! I've just had to pay a bill I shouldn't have had to pay to those fuckers Talk talk.
I was going to let them take me to court so I could have my say but then I remembered I'm shit and would probably get a panic attack and fuck it all up.

Isn't that why you hire a lawyer?
They can do the difficult stuff for you.

For a cost, of course.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:00, Reply)

The bill to talk talk was probably cheaper than a lawyer.

It's the principle of the thing though.

The principle of the thing
Is to be happy and don't have a headache for months.

Too much hassle for the amount of money.
I could afford it but I was going to do it as a matter of principle.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:02, Reply)

Was it a lot of money?
Sometimes it's worth it to just pay in order to get peace of mind.

I am planning on blowing up Talk Talk head office though.

( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:04, Reply)

I am now with Talk Talk by default
started with pipex, bought by Tiscali, bought by Talk Talk. Which is annoying as I purposfully avoided them at all costs.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:06, Reply)

I could do the same with Tiscalli
They charged me for 6 months the highest broadband tariff, when we were getting the lowest one. We complained 3 consecutive months and they didn't sort it. Then we tried to stop the contract for another 3 months. It was a nightmare.

Tiscalli are now Talk Talk.
They are complete fucktards.
( girlinthehole, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:08, Reply)

The only reason I managed to finish the contract
was because I moved house to a different section of the city and needed a new phone number, so had to go back to BT for a year again.

They are ok until something goes wrong and then they are absolutely no use whatsoever.

But that sums up almost every service we have in this country
I've been waiting almost a month for my car to be returned. Its had three engines in, and the only problem was a diesel pump.

Yeah but they really are very very shit with customer service.

I used to think I could whistle, until a chum recorded it and played it back. I don't whistle anymore.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 8:59, Reply)

I do, thanks
I'm not an expert whistler, and try not to do it in public. But at least I can whistle in tune.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 9:01, Reply)

My bf does that too
The tuneless whistling. I usually don't mind, but it feels terribly bad when we're cycling together, normally because I'm leading, showing him the way, and while I'm pedalling at my most, sweating and barely unable to get enough oxygen in my lungs, he's just behind me, happily whistling.

Good for you
I've had some diet cereals and a banana. I managed to lose another half a kilo despite the belgium biscuits and streaky bacon.

I have it all in my legs.
I put all my weight there, so I lose it from there. From waist up I'm a size 8-10; from waist down I'm 14-16.

It could be, as I'm eating a lot of fiber.

However, I always weight myself post-dumping, therefore, it can't be only shit that I'm losing.
