Little things that irritate you

Will.I.Am competing with Bono in being the greatest corporate whore.

It seems there's very little he won't put his name to.

Same on the tube as well. I've worked out the sweet spot to elbow when I sit down, they soon move.

Exhaust snapping on the bike on the M25. All of a sudden got louder and when I got home, it was hanging on its bracket. That's £200 I'll need to fork out. Bugger.

When I got home from work...

Wife: 'You left the kitchen light on this morning. Been on all day wasting electricity'

Ten minutes later...

Me: 'Ah, you doing some washing? I've got some bits need chucking in'

Wife: 'No, this is the load I did last night. I forgot to get it out and stick it in the dryer this morning, so I need to re-wash it...'

Me: 'And you say I'M wasting electricity by leaving on a 25 watt light bulb for 6 hours?' :twisted:

Yes, I know, it is only a little thing, but it irritated me...

Lower on the right. It started growing so quickly that it cracked the (completely healthy) tooth next to it, so I got that one removed to allow the wisdom tooth a bit of room to move.

Unfortunately, the pressure must have weakened the wisdom tooth too cos that cracked a few weeks later and needed a filling. The bloody things still growing and hurts like a b*stard for a bit, then the pain completely disappears.

usually with a lower wisdom tooth it'll be a surgical extraction , which either means a specialist nhs clinic or a
hospital , as both the left and right teeth are very close to nerves in your face , truly pointless they are and cause a great deal of pain . good luck

Picture frames .... me and the missus are currently away for a couple of days exploring the Exmoor coast and today I've been dragged into a few art galleries .... in between 'local tat' shops (you know, they are full of tat that you don't ever need in life, and you walk out of the shop with an armful of it). Anyway, I have lost count of the number of decentish paintings totally ruined by absolutely awful frames .... it's as if a large frame will make the picture look bigger and justify hiking the price up even more. More often than not these garish appendages don't even suit the picture they are framing ... and no ... a gold frame does not make the picture better/more valuable ....

Mild middle age rant over ..... thank you.
