Weather changes making my eczema flare up. Although I am (one of the few) people happy to see no sun outside - I might go and dance in the next rain shower.

I dislike my now cracked hands though - so very painful and I find it embarrassing.
I hate how it ruins my plans, like I went on a trip to the seaside with some friends recently but left early as I didn't want them to see my hands when we went to the arcade (not that I told them that).

I bought this beautiful dress that looked amazing on my figure and didn't get to wear it for my mates party - I didn't have the confidence. To rub salt in the wound, an acquaintance (who I dislike) was there wearing my dress. She didn't look that great though as she is large and I just don't think bodycon dresses suit that shape. I would have rocked it tho - maybe next time.

My last gripe is rubbish venues/clubs that everyone seems to love. The venues are always full of those obnoxious idiots who are so far gone/drunk they bump into everyone in the club. I always bump them back - fed up of them walking into me.

I agree. Or on property programmes where the poor seller has been forced to practically give away their gorgeous house / apartment because of the economic crash, losing thousands, and yet the well-off would-be buyer grins and winks and says "I'm going to make a cheeky offer".

When a major recording artist dies and the record company releases a load of cash in albums by padding out half recorded demo tracks or promoting mediocre B-sides as new must have material.

People constantly getting the words of the national anthem wrong, it's God save THE Queen, not God save our Queen. Even Team GB did it.

My mum hijacking my hospital appointment and coming with me (she works at the hospital so just popped down). I had things I wanted to discuss with the doctor but felt I couldn't with her there so basically just answered everything with a 'yes' or 'no' and wanted it over with ASAP.

Do you really feel that alcohol is a central part of life? or are you trying to provoke a reaction? If you feel like not drinking alcohol makes a person in some way sinister ... well I won't say anything but its a shame.

I'm amazed at how little some people who work in health care bother about patient confidentiality. Years ago my mum knew I'd cancelled several doctors appointments. She worked for a totally separate part of the authority but was either phoning them or they were letting her know.

I was over 18 so that wasn't the problem.

This is similar to something that happened to me yesterday. I went to the doctors for an appointment and was sitting in the busy waiting room when my Grandad walked in to the reception, turned his head and saw me and shouted "what you doing here?" and probed me for an answer in front of everyone.

I was looking at him like "are you serious??".

In the first verse, in the first two lines it's "our" in the third and last line it's "the"

The second verse ends "God save us all" of course and then back to "God save the Queen" in verses 3, 5 and 6.

Those people who go skiing each year, not because it's there thing, but because they think that's what they should be doing having run out of other meaningless crap to do.

I'm surprised the gp allowed that.

The day after London 2012 finished, they put up the Result Book - containing every result from every event in every sport - on the website. (As a result, it went to 5255 pages.)

There are still some sports from Rio 2016 which have yet to have their Result Book posted - never mind the entire book.

Not intensely annoyed, but I see ads for Zulily quite a lot and their clothes look nice so I thought I'd click on their link. Turns out I can't have a browse on their site without first giving them my email address.

I've just had a look at the site and was able to browse just fine, without giving an email address, using this link: https://www.zulily.co.uk/shop-by-siz...us/?ref=header

Nope. I still get a pop-up window asking for my email. I can't close it or get around it.

Oh weird! It's OK for me. Maybe because I'm using Adblocker?

Anyway, just type in any old rubbish - these things never verify emails - and then sign up properly if you think you'll be buying stuff.

I can sympathise with the eczema one - I get it. On my face so there really is no hiding. I manage to get rid of all of it except for one patch next to my right eye that just won't go whatever I do.

It knocks your confidence, although I have learned that you yourself notice it more than other people. We always notice what we feel are our imperfections more than other people do.

I don't have anything else to say really, but just that I know where you're coming from.

But most people end up singing "our" instead of "the" in the third and last lines as well. It's very odd given everyone knows the name of the song.

The appointment letter did say you could bring someone with you. I probably would not have been bothered at any other time (she works at hospital and is actually quite knowledgeable and useful), but like I said, I had something specific I wanted to bring up but couldn't : (
