The over the top orchestral intro music on Good Morning Britain. The music itself is fine but it strikes me as ridiculous when the rousing, dramatic music climaxes in a weak introduction to Dr Hillary discussing mouth ulcers or something equally banal. Anti-climatic and not very fitting.

There's a bit of it at the start of this link, but a bit more about 1/4 the way in, after the One D clip. Sorry, for some reason Youtube not displaying the actual time on the playbar like it usually does. Consider that another trivial thing that irritates me.

The BBC News website - is there *still* a need for the Scottish referendum result having a prominent place on its main page?

Wow there's some cheeky buggers out there, what a personal question to ask someone

^a Dell laptop - looking for a 2nd hand lappy that comes with Win7 (and not the crappy starter version that doesn't (iiuc) do dick) and a hole for an RJ17(?) internet cable cos my wireless signal isn't so good. Turns out there's a wealth of laptops fitting this requirement in eBay , together with a wealth of keen bidders.

I get annoyed at my poor memory and concentration. Forgot to put the link I was wittering about earlier. Ah well, hardly matters, it's only trivial.

Glad grimtales asked. I'm nosy. Meant to ask earlier myself but I forgot that as well as the link. Am so nosy I kind of want to know Takae's salary is too but I'm afraid to ask.

Was in Aldi earlier and before I went in I went to get a trolley. Some idiot had left their litter in it! They left a label, an empty carton of apple juice and a half-eaten custard cream I had to remove them before I could take the trolley into the shop. Why can't people use litter bins for their rubbish? I shouldn't have to remove someone's litter from a trolley before using it

Coffee jar lids.

They used to be so simple. 3 or 4 turns and done. But now some smart arse has decided that took too much effort and designed a lid that takes a single turn.

Unfortunately it takes me about 4 attempts to do it up without cross-threading it and it now takes twice the time.

I thought that was just me! Seriously! I rarely buy coffee, and the last couple have been those new-style lids and I cannot get the buggers back on properly. My son has to follow me into the kitchen to put the lid on, because it bugs him if he picks it up and it's not on properly. I tell him he may as well make the cuppas whilst he's there.

So, annoying lids = getting out of making a cuppa.

You could add some brandy to your lemsip, it does help! Hope you feel better tomorrow.

I bought a different brand the other day - a square jar and a stupid square plastic lid. One good reason to tip the whole lot into the coffee container.

Ask away, but you'll be wasting your time because I still won't answer the question.

Very true, but unfortunately I've got two sons who'll only drink caffeinated coffee, and one who'll only drink decaf (caffeine sets him off anxiety-wise). So because the decaf lad is outnumbered and doesn't live at home, he slums it with the coffee jar and the other two get the container.

Re decaf coffee, why not just feed decaf to the two who insist on full-strength and tell them it's decaf? I thought I was drinking caffinated at work for months until the new sales girl told me. Chances are they won't know. Put some decaf in an old full strength jar and see if they spot it.

Ha that's so evil - I love it.
