You just watch it in the background day after after day after day after day. For some of these poor schleps on it it's the biggest thing that'll ever happen to them, so it's hardly surprising that the presenters try to big them up for their handful of minutes in the limelight. And they are trying to string out a pub quiz with 5 questions into a 45 minute programme.

Triviality of the day: people who approach a dual c/way roundabout to go straight on by moving to the r/h lane but go sooooooo slooooooowlllllyyyyyyyyyyy that they block traffic behind who quite reasonably expected the driver in question to get a move on as he / she had moved over, but instead he / she stays in the r/h lane for the next 350 yards after the roundabout until it becomes single c/way again, thereby preventing all following traffic from getting past in readiness for the next stretch of open road. And when navigating the r/about somehow manage to use all three lanes. Hint: the paint is to guide you. It's not a Jackson Pollock abstract, the white lines are instruction & guidance, not ....ing decoration.

What's been really annoying me the last couple of years is all the bloody charity bags I get week after week dumped in my post box. Three this week so far and five last week, it's beyond a joke. Always the same charities as well. One month I kept them all just to see how many and it came to twenty six.

Argh tell me about it! The internet's full of them as well. I purposely avoided news yesterday just to avoid fake news stories on real news sites. Just clickbait

Women. because it's always women, referring to their cars as "pap paps".

Got one doing this on my Facebook - get a grip, you're 43 not 4.

I don't mind them - we use them as bin liners! We don't get that many though.

The fact that baby wipes come in packs of 56 or 64!

Why such random numbers as those?

Why not sell them in round numbers of 50, 60, 70 or 100?

I am annoyed by just three tiny things at the moment, Ant, Dec and Jeremy bl**dy Clarkson.

Sorry, four things, that stupid advert with the old man and the girl singing Culture Club. If he is paying for her singing lessons he should ask for his money back, voice as flat as a pancake.

I think they do it so it’s difficult to work out how much it costs ‘per wipe’;.......either that, or they are deliberately trying to confuse the child.

Could not agree more.

I’ve used ‘Allianz’ for virtually all my insurance requirements for many years.

However, I’ve now cancelled every single policy;........Boy George has a lot to answer for.

So do I. I've probably saved quite a few quid over the years.

People who use the word "channelling" when all they mean is "copying the image of". Makes me grind my teeth.

My 15-year-old's tardiness.

She knows I need to sleep right now (it's roughly 11:30PM) and she's 30 mintes late. Why the heck did I agree to pick herand her friends up? I'll break the steering wheel if she doesn't get to hereor answer my texts in the next ten minutes.

edited:

Now I can seeher ambling up street with her friends. Taking their damn sweet time with talking and looking at theirphones. She's looking at her pone. why didn't she answer my damntexts? I'll have a word with her abut that later.

Am I missing the point of a quiet coach on a train? I seem to have mistakenly thought that it meant no mobole phone calls, mp3 players etc.

And now a woman's got on who is eating crisps noisily.

MPG - Miles Per Gallon - totally pointless in the 21st century.

We stopped being sold fuel in gallons years ago, so how are we meant to relate to MPG in the 21st century?

A couple inspired in the past few posts.

The term BHP used on Top Gear. James May always uses Brake Horepower but Clarkson would use Horsepower. Even in the same item talking to each other they would use the different terms.

I know it's only one word and Clarkson is just using a shorthand version but it is a trivial annoyance for them to use different terms when talking to each other.





Another is drivers not being in the correct lane and then in a line of traffic decide that they want to be in your lane ahead of you.

Why didn't you think of that before getting stuck in the traffic jam?

Boy do I feel your pain! My daughter 14 has a mobile phone, she is never more than a metre from the thing, that's if it's not welded to her hand. So, why does she never reply to my texts or answer the flippin' thing? It really grinds my gears cos generally I'm either asking what time she's getting home, if she needs picking up or if she's eating with the rest of us, grrrrrrrrrr.

You know those boys who's jeans hang off their hip bones? They're wearing hipsters. A fashion ploy to use miniature zips instead of full 6" zips. In other words, those who follow fashion whether or not it looks good.

People keep talking to me about their holiday and how great is was.
One went to Milan, one went on a four week cruise, one went to Denmark came home for a few days and then went to Holland. I just don't wanna hear about it anymore.
I haven't been abroad in 6 years (so yes I'm a bit jealous) as I can't afford it.

I need a t-shirt printed saying 'I do not want to hear about your recent holiday'.

Radio DJs who call a song a tune
For crissake the tune is the melody, a song with musical backing is not a tune.
