pmsl @ Allan :-D :-D :-D (NOT because I'm bored!)

Living in Australia ;-) :-D :-D

when you say "Hello, how are you?"......

and they tell you ALL their family & medical problems :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Dear All

Hello

Where to start!


Being put on hold on the telephone. Drives me nuts.


Being asked "Can you ring back later?


Any meetings held in the workplace..


Nosey work managers and bosses, who want to know all about their employees personal life. Yes, we are entitled to one and we are not on call.


Being contacted at home by work manager and asked:
" We are short staffed, so can you come to work?"
NO!


Endless TV repeats.


Instructions that come with goods and you simply cannot follow them.

Take gentle care

Ironing....hate it!
Cricket,....motor racing.....,x factor.....to name a few! :-S

Party Political Broadcasts :-0

Though as a child I did enjoy fairy stories :-D

Tec :-)

sports club presentation nights.

YAWN.

Guess where we're going on Saturday night.

Football is not a sport, it is a game. Hunting, shooting and fishing are sports. Bob

Second to none is the HMRC 'hold' music ( which has no discernible tune) which I was subjected to for about 30 minutes yesterday

Best bit of hold music geared to purpose was with my life insurance company... Frank Sinatra singing 'That's life' :-D

As it happens Island ....No I did'nt read it, just the first few lines....that was enough :-D

I think it's a wind up.

Just realised - I'm bored with this thread.

Anyway, it's Wednesday - time for my weekly toe nail clipping.

Religion and Politics.... Both factions want to own your soul and tell you what is right and what is wrong for you.
Hypocrisy of the highest order in both camps.

You mean you actually read it Jax? :-0

Since when has Eastenders been set in Walthamstow?

Politics bores me...not fussed about sport being on TV as I can just watch what I want any other time of the day or night

Other peoples families.

I wonder why they bother at all whereas my grandfather, now he.......................

Superfluous Advice.

I honestly don't understand why anyone gives so much as a nano second to anything they deem to be 'boring'. If it bores you, ignore it and do something interesting. :-\

G P Racing, football,Tennis,

X Factor,

Unless you are very unlucky call systems are annoying rather than boring
. Some firms though seem to delight in keeping people on hold forever.

Judging by the number of people who shell out for tickets and Sky sports and participate sport is very popular with most people. Otherwise there is always a boring soap on the box eg EastEnders (set in Walthamstow), Corrie or Casualty.

The most boring activity known to modern times has to be flying which takes longer and costs more year in year out. Where possible I like high speed trains.

Driving used to be fun at times but is now firmly in the boring category.

Supermarkets are boring beyond belief hence the slump in sales. The main reason Lidl et al are doing well is that they are smaller and thus less time to be bored and endure assault from members of mumsnet. Lidl often has eclectic surprises so is trying not to be boring.

UK commuter trains. Berners Lee invented the internet so as to get around the invidious choice between the M25 and South West trains.

Facebook.

Twitter the post pointless thing ever.

School. Anybody who found school anything other than boring is either a liar ex prefect or a teacher. Some poor souls choose to become teachers with the noble idea of changing things then find they cannot.

Michael Gove MP (see above). Seen in the flesh you will understand why Dave has put this square peg in the sq hole of Chief Whip.

Blended whiskey.
Lager.
Curling
Women's cricket ... magistrates should consider it as a useful punishment.
lawn mowing
Stephen Fry
Boris Johnson and his rellie Allan. Which one will be the most boring pm ever?

Waiting hours in NHS clinics is very boring and a bit terrifying on top if your loved one has cancer ... the brilliant NHS saved my oh so I shall forgive the waiting.

Waiting for buses except in London where a bus will soon turn up but goodness knows who riding inside. Freddie Kreuger?

For all the above Boredoms there are worse but not to be mentioned or the RR man will be around.
