The stupid time change. There is literally no reason for it at all. If they kept it normal all year it wouldn't be dark at 5pm. Nothing is worse than coming home thinking its super late because it's black outside and it's practically afternoon still.

Hehe! I know how you feel. On the train ride home every night it's like riding through a tunnel or darkness, even though it's before dinner. Feels like I get home a 9:00 instead of 6:00!

A major gear-grinder for sure.
 
People that can't seem to put rubbish into the bin. How hard is it?
I'm currently a part-time cleaner and it's amazing how people can't grasp such a simple concept. Rubbish goes into the bin, not onto the ground or garden. :mad:

Whether you get it or not, it's entirely their own choice. Just the same as it your choice to ignore or dislike MLP.

I know it just makes No sense. I don't care that they watch it.

Feeling down when I know I should be on top of the world...

I could easily make that same statement. I should be on top of the world yet I'm feeling down. My beautiful wife can't fix it, my supportive family and friends can't fix it, my well paying job can't fix it, my huge supply of cheap beer can't fix it. Hell, Prozac can't fix it! There's no reason someone should feel down without reason unless they're seriously suffering from mental problems, so if you're not, I've no sympathy, sorry.

Going bald!!! I already have an OCD thing that means I constantly play with my hair making large amounts of it fall out. It's a nervous thing I don't even realise I'm doing.

Oh well, s**t happens.

It doesnt matter. He's 9 hours ahead of GMT, so he will probably be asleep now.

Yeah, I was sleeping.
 
There's an ad on Australian television at the moment - Channel Eleven - where these two wankers (there's no other word to describe them) lure an actor from "Neighbours", a popular soap opera, to an open space and then everyone around them does a flash mob, singing the show's theme song. It's all very elaborate and the two morons are laughing and high-fiving one another because it's all such a very clever prank and it all went perfectly ... except that the whole thing is such an obvious set-up. It's not clever, it's not funny, and it's, well, stupid.
 
Wow....Neighbours is still playing? I haven't seen that since the evil twin killed a load of people. I think it was Paul's son.

Neighbours is shockingly terrible right now. The whole thing went downhill after the character "Bridget" died.
 
Neighbours is OK. It's a bit odd ATM, but I can remember ages back when Paul was still evil.
 
Neighbours is purely made for the UK. Aussies aren't silly enough to watch it. :lol:

Another thing that grinds my gears, people that can't do the speed limit. Under or over it annoys me. I'm fine with people doing a few under that's no problem, but why do 20-30 under on the free-way? I understand if you're driving a large truck or towing but otherwise keep near the limit.
And speeding in built up areas and heavy traffic isn't needed. I sit on the limit and people always pass me. Mostly young women in their econo-boxes or mothers in their four wheel drives. Construction zones are the worst when the sign says 80 you do 80, you don't continue to do 100 or just slow down to 90.

Chongqing has gone yellow. Seriously everything outside all of my windows is yellow. It's not the windows because I checked to see if it was smoke stains. I'm sure it's just pollution but it's freaking me out. It's like CS gas has enveloped my building.

On top of that I haven't discovered a single thing to eat in my fridge. Black tea, green tea, red tea, no grub. I love it but I can't eat tea. It does now mean venturing outside into the yellow clouds and finding the nearest fried chicken shop, noodles or fried rice will just not cut it today.

Lucky me I don't need nor seek your sympathy. As I stated I think it can be the lack of sleep, you know when you're so tired that every single little thing that goes wrong feels like a huge deal.

Anyway, I'm off to bed.
 
When you hear a noise outside and figure it's nothing than wait 10min and say to yourself well wouldn't hurt to look out. Than go up to the widow and move the blinds just enough to see outside and see a black guy staring back at you.

If he's on your property, get your tool. If not, smile politely.
 
Was just the light catching the pollution in a strange way that gave everything a yellow glow. I went back to grey after a few hours.

Meant to be going out for some beers but I'm still waiting for Mrs Shem to get home and she's already nearly an hour late. What the hell is wrong with women? Doesn't she realise I'm thirsty?

I'd probably s*** myself! :scared:

It happens to me all the time when I'm in England. I usually just say "Bruv, get back in the house. The zombies aren't here yet. Put the machete down" and "You're cooking the bacon in the morning, don't go getting all tired on me because you stayed up late in the close looking through the neighbours windows!"
 
When drum major conduct at different tempos. I don't know who to watch, and I'm in the drum line so I absolutely NEED to be correct.
