    I can see you lurking on this thread Jim waiting to see if anyone replies. Did you get your message from the Queen or was that last year?

    Anyway have a happy birthday and if you can remember it tomorrow you did not drink enough!

    They are available, although illegal to use.

    Some buildings, lecture theatres included, have cladding or a “Faraday Shield ” built into the walls and ceiling to block signals.

    What really get me though, is when visitors come to your house, get a call on their mobile and expect you to be quiet.

    I tell them to take the call outside. I shut and lock the door behind them so they have to ring the bell to get back in.(best when it cold and wet)

    You know when your getting old, when you are in a Supermarket, with loads of people around you, and you want to fart, but despite how hard you try not to, they come out in little “Squirts”.loud enough to be heard
    I just tend to turn and look at the nearest person to me, as if it’s THEM 😀

    Jim you are doing it all wrong again. What you should do is say sorry folks there is nothing I can do about it. I think I have another one coming on and I hope I don’t follow through again while tentatively feeling the seat of your trousers. I think a mixture of broccoli and sage and onion stuffing the night before clears a path for you or gets you to the front of the check out queue. If that fails a loud retort of “sniff up quick folks before it goes” never fails!

    Very rude indeed, I see this a lot at check outs and it also delays people waiting in the queue. The next step seems to be when the assistant finally gets their attention is burrow in their handbag for money with phone clamped between shoulder and head. Following step is try and pack shopping with one hand.
    Two days ago my wife and I were having a pub lunch and a couple of girls sitting a seperate tables some 20 feet apart were chatting to each other on the phone. sitting at a table inbetween them my wife and I could hear both sides of the conversation. I would ban then from pubs and resturants as well. At least when they are texting they are quiet. Utter madness!
