The angry thread

[Bealman]

In retrospect, my Maccas open on Christmas Day post is probably a little hypocritical, as the Bealman clan go out for Christmas lunch every year, not MacDonalds, though.

I just got a surprise as it's the first year it's happened.

New venue for you to try then? McTurkeyBurger anyone?

Back on topic, I would like to vent my anger at the small phalanx of neatly-dressed pensioners on pushbikes who decided to formation-cycle through a crowded crossing here in Tokyo, ignoring the lights and any pedestrians in their path. Utter bumblewombles.

Japanese rule breakers    The world is going to hell.

The wold is going to hell.

Which one? We've got lots of wolds up here in Lincolnshire, and I need to avoid the big hole left when it's gone.

The woods have gone!?
Have you been chopping them down to make coffee stirrers which you use to make all sorts of model stuff?

Indeed, as many as three times this year I've found small items of litter in our street. But I suspect people of a certain age and temperament behave however they want the world over...

Local bus stop

Local bus stop 

Your locals are obviously better behaved than the locals are back home in Yorkshire - the glass in your bus stop is still intact  . Should not complain though, the nearest bus stop to me is 5 miles away - and that is used once a week, yes, I said week !

Very depressing... Shame the so and so's can't be caught and made to clean it up. Afraid many of our bus stops and streets look just the same.

So, I was at the local zoo today with the Squidlet (2nd birthday in sight) watching the penguins (Squidlet loves penguins) when a well-dressed snooty-looking young woman and her well-dressed young son (7or 8 I guessed) pushed in, and the son blatantly ignored a clearly-marked "entrance forbidden" sign in Japanese to get a better look at the penguins. Cue Squidlet pulling in that direction, which I put a swift stop to; at his "but that boy is there, why can't I?" expression I remarked loudly (in Japanese) "well obviously those people are illiterate".

The continuing saga of an Australian bus stop......

Last Wednesday my favourite stop was inhabited by a nice pair of shoes



Thursday they were still there......



But were now joined by a gaggle of shopping trolleys!!





At least the bus is always on time.... 

[Mito]

A trolley bus?

You Asda laugh really.   Sorry 

I had better say "Sorry" again - I don't suppose 'Asda', (supermarket),  have got down under - heck, they ain't even got into Ireland yet! Well, they have a presence in Northern Ireland.

[Bealman]

Thanks for that, David - I was wondering what it meant!!
