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.

I can feel I'm going to get annoyed today, and subsequently do something self destructive.
How'd it turn out, Fj?

I can't remember whether you're now in Maidstone, or Canterbury, but you do know that there's a St Pancras <-> Canterbury West service don't you? High-speed link takes less than an hour.

Yeah I'm in Maidstone but getting the St. Pancras service would mean leaving stupidly early to get back.

Drive to Ebbsfleet and pick it up there? Last one back from London is about 11.30pm.

I thought about driving to Bromley South but I really wanted to have a beer. Don't think I've been to a gig and not had a beer. The two go hand in hand for me 8-)

Wondering right now what a bloke who thinks it okay to spit in the face of a 14 year old girl is doing involved in a TV charity football match if I'm honest. Similar Ant and/or Dec who is now flogging bank accounts

Danny Baker and Jo Brand castigated for what was probably little more than poor choices for jokes, yet drink driving and crashing into a car with a kid in or flobbing in a kids face is fine if you're mates with all the right people. :eh:

Hearing the same adverts on commercial radio stations, over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over again...
I make a point of never buying that product, just to get my own back.

I was mainly talking about radio ads but yes, there are plenty of tv ones that make me want to go postal, as well.
Radio seems worse I think, because you're not always near enough to mute, fast forward or skip it.
And unlike your eyelids, you can't close your ears!

^ Yes, that's why I posted it. Every ad break yesterday on radio X was that cretin.

They've ruined a great film character now.

I’ve never seen so many grossly obese tattooed up women trying to eat their own body weight in food 3 times a day in one place. Add to that all the Liverpool football shirts on display (mainly warm by Germans oddly enough, really took the shine off a pleasant enough week away.
i can empathise with you - now i only go all inclusive at 4 or 5 * star gaffes gets rid of the riff raff

the amount of people that also left half a drink and just got a new one also pissed me off no end

Pathetic comment.

Don't you know they prefer it if you speak at them in English, using a poor foreign accent.

Had trouble at a toll booth in Spain once, and the person on the intercom answered in English , apparently, according to my kids who still remind me of it when we`re abroad, I started using a Spanish style accent explaining that my "teeeket" wasn`t working! I on the other hand have no recollection of this.

When I was in Portugal and jumped in a taxi, the first thing the cab driver did was apologise to us for his poor English - which in fairness was pretty good and far superior to our Portuguese.

Of course we all insisted that the ****er compensate us for his **** linguistic skills by reducing our fair, the lazy selfish prick. :thup:
