Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

I know more people who find Godfather boring than deem them classics, myself included. I can see that they are technically good but the critical praise they get is ridiculous. It's like critics have to like them to be deemed worthy.

Give me a Kubrick, Woody Allen or Hitchcock flick over these any day.

My 'classic film' hate is The Breakfast Club. For a film about looking past stereotypes and seeing the person within, none of the characters EVER break out of their stereotype.

Oh man, sciatica. I've had it on and off for years, and it came back on Friday morning after I got out of the shower.

My coccycx feels sore to the touch on its left and right sides, but this could be due to my attempts to apply pressure to various points to relieve the pain. I can be lying down or sitting, and I'll have a variety of pains in various places. Sometimes it feels like I'm having pieces of sharpened dowel stabbed into my lower back and arse cheeks. Other times it feels like my skin in the lower back is being nipped really tight. Almost consistent is the pain travelling from my lower back down to my feet, mostly the right, but sometimes both. Mostly sharp aches, but sometimes the pain is 'itchy'.

I can't believe I spent last weekend and Wednesday hauling furniture around with nothing to show, but getting out of the shower is utterly crippling.

just so long as it isn't also 'tasty', I would consider myself lucky

Maybe you just have bad taste in films? Give us some recommendations on alternate choices?

Errr.......Chinatown, Once Upon A Time In America, Scarface, Pulp Fiction, LOTR Trilogy, Batman Begins, 28 Days Later.
Another film irk is Platoon - boring as hell, & only a hit because of the shock value that the gook head beating scene gave.
Full Metal Jacket is a million times better.

Give me a Kubrick, Woody Allen or Hitchcock flick over these any day.

Agreed.

Word of advice - go and see a doctor. Trust me I thought I had sciatica & it turned out that I'd suffered with a slipped disc for 18 months.
I was getting leg pain shooting down from my pelvis to my knee. Then it travelled down to my foot, then I couldnt get out of bed 1 day. My physio told me if it had reached my big toe I'd have been in big trouble.
It sometimes feels as if someone's ripped my legs out of their joints at the pelvis, like as if they've been dislocated & popped back in.
I cant sit in 1 position for too long either as I either get pains or my thighs go numb.
If you've been lifting furniture during the wk then it could be very likely its your back. A disc may be protruding & catching the nerves running from your spine down your legs.

Double sigh.

I cycle to work and get fed up when other cyclists creep past me at the lights and then cycle really slowly so I have to overtake them again. Then at the next set of red lights - they do it again!
However, today a bird with a nice arse and tight lycra leggings did it so I didn't mind staying behind her for a few hundred metres.

Bought a vegetarian burger from Hamburger Union on my way home from the printers the other day. Asked for it without onions. When I got home and unwrapped it I found heaps of onion rings in there. Picked it all out and tried to eat it but it had seeped into the bun and the rest of the ingredients and I had to throw it away. It's expensive enough to eat there but this happens almost every time I go there now because of the staff's tenuous grasp of English. I don't know how I can be any clearer when I'm ordering the food without sounding rude but it's beginning to get really annoying now. :/

[kernow]

Have you tried asking for one with onions?

[Decider-VT]

Haha, I'd probably end up with a beefburger if I started tampering with their understanding like that.

Pervert! I do the same when I am walking..If a girl with a nice bum is in front..I just walk the same pace without overtaking..

When you know you are going to need to lay some cable in the not too distant future but you're going out for the day and it just won't come in time.

I'm off out fishing in the middle of nowhere in a bit and I have this distinct rumbling inside.The thing is, I know no matter how much I try to force it, nothing will come if I try to go before I leave. Yet as soon as I get halfway down the motorway, I'll feel this little turtle head playing peek-a-boo.

Why does this ALWAYS happen?
