    Apples in polystyrene trays, wrapped with cling film!>:(
    What is the point?:confused:
    S*ins*urys DOESN'T do that and there is usually at least one badly bruised apple - though maybe I carried them home roughly
    Tesco DOES do that and I'm virtually guaranteed a perfect set of apples when I open it up. - though maybe I'm just getting lucky.

    If I want a quality set of fruit I'ma gonna buy it from Tesco, even with it costing a 2hr round trip.

    I'm going to 'loose' my mind, instead of lose. Seeing it drives me crazy.
    How about he drove 'passed' my house, sometime in the passed, or he 'past' me on the M-Way, or ect, instead of etc, frieind instead of friend?
    We could be here all day with these, or hear all day.


    The 'lose/loose' and 'past/passed' thing annoys me as well. On a similar note seeing people type 'women' when they are talking about one female gets on my nerves, for example: "Claire is a strong women".

    My driving instructor (about the time when dinosaurs walked the Earth) told me it was good practice, as anyone coming up behind at speed and whopping you up the a*se wouldn't push you into the car in front.

    Oh, and people who think the term is 'here here' rather than hear hear.

    See above the safety aspect of doing this. You should be able to see the car in fronts tyres and tarmac too.

    Plus it's not like you will be getting where you are going any quicker. Still sat in the same queue.

    Mark Ronson @ Glastonbury. Aaaargh, the word is AT.

    And just 'Glasto' is enough to set my teeth on edge.

    Anything to do with Glastonbury sets my teeth on edge. When did it all turn into one huge glamping fashion statement? Look at me with my fringed handbag and designer wellies..... >:(>:(>:(

    My trivial thing at the moment is people on ebay who don't read the description of the listing properly. My OH and I design and sell record sleeves and at the moment we are offering some of them in sets of 5. We ask the buyer to pick any 5 of their choice - simple you might think - all they have to do is message us and tell us what they want. We have customers from all points of the globe who have no trouble understanding this, yet one f**kwit in the UK can't get his head around it - he paid first then asked "How do I choose the ones I want?" We explained again in words of one syllable but he still doesn't get it and wants his money back - DUHH!!! Definitely one for the "blocked" list - or should that be blockhead?!

    Sorry - rant over, I can't sleep so I'm more ratty than usual :)

    Sainsbury's do stock those cartons of apples, same as every other supermarket. No need for your two-hour round trip!

    Avatars and/or signatures on forums that are images and/or gifs of scantily clad women. It just seems a bit sad.

    Still doesn't make it a pound shop every item for a pound

    The 'item' is 2 drinks. Is it all that hard to understand? :confused:

    Yes, it's a pound shop. Traditionally every item for a pound, not two items for a pound. It would be an item if it was sellophaned, but it wasn't

    It's a pound shop. You're paying a pound. You CAN buy a single drink for £1, they're just BOGOF.

    They're not cellophaned as you get to mix and match the 2 drinks.

    I'm a Star Trek fan, I've watched the DS9 episode The Visitor several times over the years ...and I can't believe that each of those times I missed this...

    First world problem

    Yes, f*ck off you sanctimonious tw*t. I know kids kicking football on the road at 10pm is not on a par with land grabbing, crop failure and corrupt politics. If you're so 100 per cent focussed on third world problems why are you wasting your time and money posting on sites like this?

    Won't mean much unless you're a Trek fan, but, that's Gates McFadden standing behind Kira. She played Crusher on TNG, but obviously managed to sneak in an uncredited appearance as an extra for this DS9 episode. Trivial, but annoying considering I've watched it a number of times and never noticed before.

    Radio stations that play the same few songs on a loop all day.
    Reminds me why I never turn the radio on.
    I can guarantee within the first hour of being at work I will hear that god awful ' I wanna take shots with some baaady' song and Taylor Swifts screechy ' baby I know we got BAAAAAD Bluuuuud', I'll hear them at least 3 times within the hour.

    Horrible, horrible songs. I wanna pick up the work radio and throw it out the nearest window.

    Speaking of radio shows, people who ring in and go "Can I please request that ubiquitous pop song that every station is playing all the time anyway?"

    And when the DJ says 'after the news, we'll be hearing from the Beach Boys' and you just KNOW it's going to be friggin' Good Vibrations. FGS, they did make lots of other records, you know, and Good Vibrations wasn't their best.
