I don't like people who sees you with a pushchair on a narrow pathway and expect you to go into the road. I call them no brains.

Good call Stuart28,

Though I personally hate twin buggies, there is never enough room for them and people coming in the opposite direction. Given the power I would ban them and make everyone use tandem buggies.

Gooner :ugeek:

Maybe the easiest solution is to attach the buggies to large helium balloons and simply hold onto them by a cord attached to the frame. That way, they don't take up any pavement space - and you'd know if they threw toys out of the buggy 😆

Twin buggies + Buses/Trams or Trains = Major fail. While I appreciate the convenience for people with more than one baby I also see the flaw in the design. Now, the ones with the bit for older children to stand on at the back.... they're GENIUS.

Seeing as though this is a thread for ranting:
Also, Why do people think that just because I'm an I.T. specialist I'll back hand them windows discs and extra RAM or worse..... go over to their house and fix their computer when I'm trying to relax after a day of doing pretty much just that all day!??!?!

I know the feeling - I work for a Mobile phone company and everyone thinks I know all about them and can fix every fault!!!

How about this one - some funny person (s) has only stolen my wheely bin!!!

I had to (embarrassingly) phone the police to get a crime reference number before the local council would order me another one!!!

Have to wait six weeks for my replacement - think the Xmas tip in my road will be a little lighter this year

lol. It comes with the territory. FFS, My friend works in Gamestation and gets asked all the time [censored] like "have you played fallout: new vegas yet?" - that was in AUGUST. It wasn't even shipped to stores or even leaked.

Wheelie bins used to get set on fire regularly when I was growing up coz they were pretty new at the time. Mine never got set on fire though because they knew my dad would tear them a new [censored] hole.

That reminds me of the time someone stole our door bell - it was a snazzy no wires one with a 300 metre range. For the next four hours they kept ringing it. We had an au pair at the time and she hadn't noticed that the bell had gone so kept answering the door. I got home after work to find her at braking point after answering the door 100's of times to find no one there every time.

It must have been kids from the other side of the road having a laugh watching her answer the door.
I saw the funny side though I don't think she did.

My mother has one of those - used to go off every time my sister alarmed/disarmed her car or I did same with my motorbike alarm.

I was in Leeds the other day and within the space of about 400 yards had been accosted by no fewer than 6 "Charity" people.

I do give to charity but on my own terms - especially with the daft wisecracks!!
