Things that piss you off that shouldn't

Talking of crooks and casinos - I took a photo of the outside of Royal Bank of Scotland's HQ in Manchester Spinningfields, 3 security guys ran out of the building and across the street and told me it was illegal and wanted to see the photos on my camera.

 

We had a brief discussion on whether standing in the street taking photo's of the outside of buildings was illegal, they then 'demanded' my name and I pointed out it was turning into a bit of a farce but if they wanted to call the police I'd happily wait.

 

They left.

 

These type of security guards are the bane of my existence. 

 

There's been a few times in my life where I've been called to a 'disturbance' and I arrive to find something like this.

 

They get annoyed when I tell the guards the people are not doing anything wrong though :D

 

The laws around public filming and the areas around it are a bit inconsistent to be honest, but it's their job to know them.

All security people are rocket polishers.

Never knew Mike Skinner was a blue nose.

 

He was my late teens/early twenties hero

 

 

 

:(

 

 

My monthly check in on this thread left this as my first unread post.  Can confirm. Saw him play The Academy on tour for his debut album, he wore a Blues shirt during the gig.

That I love watching Storage Hunters & Lizard Lick Towing. Think I must have been a redneck in a former life.

 

Nothing wrong with that!

 

I saw an episode of Lizard Lick Towing with Ric Flair in it. :thumb:

That in 2 of the 3 toilet cubicles at work some dirty bastards have left big chunks of shit floating in the bowl.

Some people are really not higher up the tree than animals.

Indeed.  We share a floor and therefore toilets with a well known oil firm.  All of their employees seem to want to recreate the Gulf Of Mexico pollution disaster in the communal traps.

Well that really depends on the animal. I mean, if you're talking about arboreal creatures such as a number of monkeys and marsupials then no, we most certainly could never hope to be. Ground and earth-dwelling critters though? Absolutely.
