It was very poignant as it is one of the pieces which I had played at Dad's funeral. Anyone who has heard it will understand the sentiment and emotion which seems to accompany it. It's only a short piece, 3 mins 45 seconds and the presenter had the temerity to cut it off half way through. I felt like ringing and complaining, then remembered that D.I.D. has now become just a sounding ground for celebs to talk about themselves and not for us, the listeners, to enjoy wonderful pieces of music. Trivial, yes, and to me, just a bit heartbreaking.”

Music is great for helping with bereavement and it is annoying when someone either cuts it short or talks over it. You could use spotify and search for it on there and you can listen to it without interuption.

Thanks, open-arms (what a lovely username!), I did just that: went on Amazon, bought the complete works for 99p and listened to it whilst writing the above. Happy New Year.

Not being able to buy 3 paracetamol product in Sainsburys in a single transaction (and this is probably the case in other Supermarkets too). Guess x3 means you're suicidal and will sue them for selling you this evil product, but x2 means everything is fine and dandy. Thing is, they're more than fine with you buying >2, just buy them two-at-a-time.

Same thing just happened to me in Aldi. They didn't object to me wanting to buy multiple packs, it was just store policy that I couldn't buy them from the same till. They really are't arsed if I was suicidal or not!

I know, I love her wee snores and snuffles but the sluuuuurps make my skin crawl, but you are right one day I will look back and wish I could hear it again

Although they're a small minority, the people who can't figure out what I mean when I write a capital G*, even when it's obvious what I mean.

* - The best way to describe them is a 5 that's been spun 180 degrees.

There's a TV advert doing the rounds at the moment feauturing Glen Medeiros' late 80's power ballad "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You". What's actually very annoying is that I'm finding it quite nice to hear again after all these years.

Huh? I must be in the minority then; I have no idea what you are taking about, but then I am old.

Oh God I know what you mean. My old Alsatian used to slurp at her paws and breathe very heavily in the process. You could hear her from your bedroom ATM, I have two chihuahuas and they keep stealing hay from my house rabbits. The sound of them chewing it goes right through you! It's a horrid wet sound that reminds me of my toothless grandmother trying to chew a piece of caramel.

They can't read his handwriting for that one letter I think.

I'm in the getting to medium size majority, WTF are you on about?

-People who use my laptop and my youtube username to like stupid videos, so now I look like I have horrible taste by liking COD,Fifa,Deadmau5 and Wrestling videos yuck
(little brothers -_-)

-When you put loads of thought into a xmas present for someone and they give you a present which it's obvious they bought last second (left the price tag on) and in the end turns out to be useless as I can't use it for health reasons.

-Friends who expect you to watch their livestreams. I like ya and all but I don't want to watch 3hrs of you talking into the camera, it's boring and a bit self indulgent.

-Buying a gaming laptop and having the one game I've installed constantly mess up in different ways. Pretty sure it's the game at fault, I just don't understand why EA release buggy games.

Why don't you just write a capital G like everyone else and save yourself from suffering the annoyance you describe?

Folk used to try that with my laptop, so I hid my actual browser and made them use a different one that I'd installed on the desktop (drawn like moths to a flame).

There are quite a few trivial things annoying me right now. I'm finding it difficult starting new medication because it is going to completely knock me out for weeks until I get used to it. Not easy when you have to be at work and it's gong to make you sleep 16 hours straight.

Also - big boobs. Who the hell thought they were a good idea? Can't lie on my front without having to adjust them and can't buy clothes without stretching them to buggery. They catch on doors when I'm opening them inwards (ow!) and they're generally just a nuisance. Joy.

So in other words your handwritten capital G looks like an upside-down 5?

Power ballad?! Sorry RebelScum, you've just touched on a trivial thing that annoys me intensely - people who describe any slow song as a power ballad. I actually like the Medeiros song you mentioned but.....(sorry I'm on work PC so can't do youtube links)....Love Walked In by Thunder, or Beautiful Night for Love by Bob Catley - now THEY are power ballads!

While I'm at it, the over-use of the words "rock" or "rock and roll" make me seethe as well, e.g. the American Express TV ad - "all part of the rock and roll service". Just STOP it already!

Do you mean one of these? "2" We were taught to write it as a curly figure two.

Me too me too! Sometimes I actually still write like that

The cardboard covers that you get with some DVDs that have exactly the same thing that is printed on the sleeve inside the protective bit of the case.

What is the point in them, especially in this day & age where you're made to feel guilty for wanting a plastic bag to take your extortianately priced shopping home in, yet things like this are allowed.
