Mobile phone key tones... I was in Beaumont hospital for about 4 hours in various waiting rooms and in each one there were people having text conversations and had the key tones set on and loud on their mobiles! OMFG it was unbelievably annoying. beep-beep-bee-bee-beep! Turn the gorram key tones off!!!!

Indo article intro:
A SPOKESPERSON for a Travellers organisation has issued a stark warning to members of the community involved in a dangerous road race: ‘Don’t do it again’.
Pretty stark warning all right... I'd really be bricking it if someone told me "Don't do it again"

Another WTF goes to some of the people giving out about the tweet in question, some no doubt follow (insert Man U/Liverpool/Chelsea/etc here) with their Sky Sports subscriptions.

Amazed that Esso would implement this. WTF that people would pay to inflate their tyres.

1euro is a joke though!

Charge a man 1 euro to inflate his tyres and you will keep him on the road for a day, Charge a man €9.50 for a 12V compressor on ebay and you will keep him on the road for life!

Nope, just making a point.
They are ten a penny and it's hard to find a bogee tbh. The father has a cheap jobby he bought circa 1982 that still works.

The garage by my dads, I think its a maxol, have been asking 1€ for air for ages, but its like the supermarket trolley system, you put in the euro, use the air, take it out, or something like that. Is this really keeping the euro? Pffft.

It does keep the euro..It gives you 3 minutes for the euro I think it was and you can use the air, vacuum or they have a fragrance dispenser. I had to use it once because some how I went to 4 garages in one day and this was the only one that had the air working

When I want air, I go to the air first and then the fuel. Unless I'm stuck, I go elsewhere if the air isn't working. If I am stuck I buy a tenner of fuel.

The best thing about a mobile phone is the 'OFF' switch. Its a pity so many people don't seem to have a clue on how to use it.
