Seeing Noel Gallagher annoys me because every time I look at him, I think of Parker from Thunderbirds.

I cannot be the only one who noticed the resemblance.

Fiona Bruce shaking her head as she reads the news

Thank you. I also seem to have problems when I pull a door towards me and it doesn't open. What are your words of wisdom this time sir?

People who do not tuck their chair in when leaving the table. The height of bad manners.

Please excuse me for grinning, but I couldn't help it. I feel for you though, I really do. Wharratotalbugger.

Another pet hate of mine is when you buy something and you think you got a bargain, and you excitedly tell someone, who immediately tells you, "They're selling those for half that in a shop in town - you should have said something". When you point out (through gritted teeth) that you actually did, and had even told him about the shopping around you did before buying, the 'friend' blithely says "Oh yeah. I forgot." Grr! I'm sure they only do it to burst your bubble.

The fact that Swansea's manager (Garry Monk) reminds me of somebody, but I can't figure out who.

Motorbikes. They probably have the most a annoying engine sound in the world.

Especially when you get about 5 riding down a street together.

Propriety cables.

Instead of just using a standard USB cable a device has a propriety connection at one end.

And computers that now come with their own power pack instead of using the 'kettle' lead type plug that has been happily used for years.

Ricky Wilson of Kaiser Chiefs and The Voice fame?

I have done that too

But I came very close to cutting my own head off in anger when last year I paid almost £30 for a cut of prime rib roast as a once-in-a-blue-moon sunday dinner treat for the family. Our kitchen was being renovated and I was using a convection microwave for a couple of months. I lovingly prepared the beef and put it in the oven - 35 minutes later I checked it only to see that I had hit the microwave button which sits directly above the convection button......£30 worth of beef reduced to something resembling a piece of rock that had fallen from space

Damien Lewis?

Do they stop you from downloading porn?

Depends what the cables are powering/connecting.

Grrr. My wife is a b*gger for this. She does her work on the dining table in the front room, and when she's done she never, NEVER pushes her chair back in. This means that whenever I need to get past I have to squeeze by or push her chair in.
Mind you, she has form for not finishing stuff. I've lost count of the number of times I've found lids not put on jars properly, knives/crumbs left on the work surface etc.
She also has a habit of pinching the pen that we keep by the PC and leaving it elsewhere. God knows I try.....

On You Tube. People who post 'original TV sitcom themes' that are most certainly not original. I was looking for the original theme tune to 'Bewitched' (TV 1960's) last night and found a number that were clearly cheap, re-performed versions that had only a passing resemblance to the real one. And the comments below were equally depressing...'such lovely old music, it brings back memories. Thanks for posting' etc. Gah! It's just a cheap knock-off!

Most of the music channels playing songs from this year that no one wants to listen too.

When you misread a date on an important Council letter as 30th instead of the 20th and thus wake up to find you've no running water and nothing in the fridge to drink - darn it.

People calling the police "the po-po". Where did this come from? It makes me cringe.

There's another affectation just arrived. Starting sentences with 'so'. Scientists being interviewed like to do it, eg:

Interviewer: Could you tell us about this research?

Scientist: So we are trying to find the reason for etc .

Interviewer: And what are your findings so far?

Scientist: So it seems that....

The other morning on 'Today', two scientists in two interviews did it.

When you get a letter from the Council saying "oops, water won't be returning until tomorrow after 3pm", adding "please ensure you have stocked up on enough water to fill your needs" - completely missing the point that we can't stock up on water cos the damn water has been turned off. Our Council must be run by a bunch of dildos.

1. Facebook.
2. Poeple who claim to be poor/skint/broke yet can still afford to smoke/drink/have a widescreen tv/cable or satellite.
3. Any form of religion.
4. Fit and healthy British people who sit on the dole and complain about foreigners take jobs and hate it when they are shown a job vacancy.
5. People who prefer Phil Collins era to that of the far superior Peter Gabriel era.

Surely they mean stock up from the shops to get you through the night

But that is annoying, But they did give you notice which is more than some do

^guess I should learn to read those letters more fully next time, darn it. Am currently considering switching off my fridge so the freezer compartment will defrost and I can collect the resultant water to then boil for some camomile tea.

When people don't text back and when eventually you get through to them they say something like 'oh sorry I was on my computer'. There is a thing called multi-tasking ya know?
But that's too much effort for them.

Why do people think they are entitled to instant replies?
