Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Is that all?

I'd be expecting much higher.

The Central Line felt as bad. On the platform, as the train came into the station, it felt like a greenhouse.

Almost impossibly, it was a few degrees hotter on the actual trains.

Felt a few drops earlier but I think it's just too hot!
Loads of thunder just now.
All our suffering & we didn't even break the hottest day record. Short by 0.5° :x
Beat the hottest July day though.

The Central Line is just pure evil in hot weather. It's like stepping into a sauna getting on a train there in hot weather. Luckily I only go a few stops but Jesus the heat when you get on is oppressive.

I don't know if that was the official temperature, someone at work relayed the information from someone else.

I'd have put the likely temperature on the central line as surface of the sun + a few degrees.

The number and frequency of old fart advertising on ITV. So we'll go on that cruise then... "But what if your dick falls off again dear?... No problem, with old **** travel insurance the bosun will sew it back on for free! Now, what about that stairlift...

Every 15 minutes. Yeah, I'm 60 but I don't want reminding at every turn

The fact that it has been sunny all week and then we get to Saturday and my cricket game is abandoned due to rain. Headbanger

Another one that gets me is blokes trousers that finish half way up their ankles. Modern day fashion eh; in my day they were called ankle swingers and you had the p**s ripped out of you mercilessly.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

I keep telling my kids that fashion and style are two completely different things...……………...They ignore me though. :lol:

The oldest son looks like David Rich from Garden Rescue with his short trousers, long hair and beard like a rugby match (15 a side).

Take and keep plenty of photos so they can cringe in 10 years time when you show them to their new partners...

Lots of things today;

Having to visit two Westfields in one day - one in Stratford and one in White City. What sins did I commit in a previous life to be made to do this.

The three South African youths in a shop trying to steal an electric scooter and when caught started giving it all jack the lad, wanting to punch out the staff, then saying they wanted to pay by card (which not surprisingly failed three times) and seemed intent on causing trouble for the sake of causing trouble until the old bill arrived and they all turned from tigers to lambs.

Sorting out my new phone - jeez much more complicated than a pc these days. Accounts, emails and passwords for everything, updates I didn't even ask for, the snapdragon system being a nightmare to use, a million flavour of WhatsApp, alarms to be set, ringtones to be sorted. 2 hours and I'm still at it - and I still can't convert my iPhone settings to snapdragons, so it looks like I'm going to have to manually input all my numbers.

British people calling american football 'football', just because they like it and/or prefer it to football.
British people calling football 'soccer' for the above sort of reason.
