Low ceilings. I just dislodged a light bulb, which fell to the bathroom floor and smashed, when taking off my shirt. And not for the first time.

When I first read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I thought the photo (movie still) of Jack Nicholson must be the Indian (Chief Broom) as he looked nothing like McMurphy (described in the book as a brawny, red-haired, red-sideburned Irishman). I read the book several times as a kid and never realized Nicholson was McMurphy until I saw the movie many years later. Naturally the movie had no hope of matching the brilliance of the book.

It's the arrogance of trying to dictate what people post, and then getting all eye rolly when people don't do it. Bloody tinpot hitlers!

That's waaay too angry. Count to 10, breathe in/out...or smash something not valuable...
Went to drop off some papers for a friend at a car dealers - Citroen. there's loads of other dealerships on this estate. I went to park and drop it in. Then this bloke from Mercedes said you can't park there. I said I'd only be 5 minutes. He insisted I moved it. Bloody typical arrogant German. He looked like he thought he was the master race too.
I gave him a real mouthful filled with expletives as I left having done what I needed to do in 5 minutes. I shouted at him that he was a typical german and everyone looked round at me.
Probably because you were being loud and racist.

I'm not proud of it but I'd had a crap day and I could imagine him as one of the Hitler Youth.

That means he was in his twenties during the war. Please tell me you didn't shout at a man in his late eighties?
