Buskers with no musical ability. I was in town today and there was a bloke playing the harmonica - by "playing" I mean breathing in and out with a harmonica in his mouth.
He was nearly as bad as the one playing "Johnny B. Goode" on a kazoo - now that was just blasphemy!

The reason I didn't need a bag? I already had one and had clearly opened it so that I could put my mags into it.”

A cashier at WHS? Now that's a rarity. I thought they had become extinct and those infernal machines had taken over.

It wasn't in Maidenhead, was it?

There used to be a busker in the subway and a local whino obviously observed him and Saw the potential to make some money. He would do the same thing - 3 notes on the harmonica over and over again.
The last time I saw him he had advanced to a recorder except he plays it sideways like a flute for added drama

I'm starting to see quite a few young women having their hair in a tall beehive.

Fine with me, but it really annoys me when I see a lot of back-combing in the back. Poor hair. There are kinder ways of doing up a beehive, people.

Nope, Dundee. Maybe he's on tour

When the postman, and others but the postman does it every day , leaves my gate open, even though it was closed when he arrived.

Awww yeah! Steamers are ace! My mum always used one and now I swear by them too. Their also good for doing a nice fluffy mash too, much less watery.

And that brings me to another annoyance: why do they give 2x20p + 1x10p rather than 1x50p?

Seeing the phrase "toe the line" written as "tow the line" makes me really irritated.

I hardly ever see it written the right way these days - what's up with people?

When you turn on the TV and always have to switch it to HDMI1, even though it was already on HDMI1 when you turned it off.

What's more annoying about them than their circular counterparts? Is it harder to get the spoon into the corners?

You shouldn't have to. Sounds like you might have something wrongly set up.

Pulled pork.
Everywhere you go now it's all you see in cafes and places to dine - pulled pork this, pulled pork that. These places have no imagination.
And it's disgusting. Shredded meat? No thank you.

The fact I seem to have less space in a 3 bed house than I did in our 1 bed flat. I mean how is that possible, the kitchen is 3 times the size with a utility room and I still struggle finding space to cook! I haven't increased what we have on the work tops, our blender, mixer and food processor are on the side in the utility room. So where is all the space????

When the cats lick the jelly off their chunks and leave the rest.

Every now and then they have a phase of doing this and it's very annoying.

It's a cat's function in life to annoy and confuse its servants

The Gromit trail in Bristol. I don't get it. They're only plastic dogs. As far I'm aware none of them are interactive. Why the mania over getting photographed with some brightly coloured tat?

What does Wallace & Gromit have to with Bristol?

I'd love to know what. I've already read the instructions front to back as well as asked in relevant forums. It appears to be a qerk of the modern day TV.
Of course if anyone here knows how to get a Panasonic Viera to remember to stay switched to HDMI1, I'm all ears! Cheers
