little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Harry's Lad]

The background dirge they have on programmes which isn't really background and certainly isn't necessary. 

All it does is overpower the dialogue ruining the programme especially if you're hard of hearing where it makes it virtually unwatchable.

 

It's mainly American shows such as Chicago Fire/P.D etc, but it is creeping in elsewhere.

I keep asking what the he'll was just said and she, more often than not says she couldn't hear it either so rewind and rewind again until you suss it. It just ruins your viewing.

Pain in the arse.

You can appeal your banding. It does run the risk of being increased but they only do that from the date of inspection I think. If it’s banded down you’re owed a refund all the way back to when you moved in.

You can research it online, definitely worth doing if you’re confident it won’t go up.

The reason houses on your street may be different is that when someone has an extension etc, it only gets re-banded when someone else buys it.

They tried to put mine up because the last owner changed the garage into an office but I appealed and won. I imagine there are countless properties being overcharged.

I cant be arsed with it and run the risk of everybody else's being raised. I think the entire tax system in the country needs overhauling.  Year after years of changes, rules, new technology different society, like most of our systems needs a clean sweep.

I wear hearing aids and this is becoming a big problem for me along with the assumption that mumbling constitutes 'proper' acting these days. I have bought a sound bar that links to my hearing aids to help , but even that hasn't  eradicated it completely , yes Tom Hardy I'm looking at you. In relation to your main point I have had to give up with a couple of historical documentaries in the past month or so as the producers appear to feel that I can't imagine what a cannon sounds like without having my ears blasted out while trying to hear what is being said by the narrator.

[Bjornebye]

Overbearing scouse women who need to let the whole fucking shop know they are there. And that stupid "thank yyyyeeeuuuuooowwww" they all seem to be using these days. Fuck off talk quietly, go about your business like a normal human being and stop putting on a fake accent you fucking wham bar

I thought that was massively cunty. Belittled any opinion of anyone of savage and below in playing ability.

 

”I’ll take it off my mates”. Then all the press cunts screaming laughing at it. 

What a whining bitch.

 

Here's a thought: if you want to be loved, don't be a racist cunt and don't be a shit manager. I hope Robbie Savage phoned him up the day after he got sacked, to say that he should have listened to the criticism.

I think I have mentioned it previously but the last time I went to winter wonderland in Hyde Park, me and my wife were stuck in front of 2 young scouse couples. For the forty min walk to the nearest open tube, I wanted to kill myself. Never come across anyone who wanted everyone to know they were there as much as these. 

 

It was as if Cilla had a cameo in bread, where she started reading dave kirby poems.

I've worn hearing aids for the last 12 months and I hate them.

 

I can hear bass and treble, but it's the mid range that's the problem added to the fact that everything sounds distorted, like listening through a blown speaker.

 

All hearing aids do is amplify this, they don't make it any better and it's driving me mad. 

 

My hearing has been deteriorating for years, factory work, gigs, dj-ing years ago and loud music have seen to that, but this distortion is a relatively new thing which makes watching these shows all the harder.

 

I've loved music all my life, but I haven't listened to an album in over a year because when I do, it sounds nothing like it should do and bits are missing, little things that add so much to the overall piece are gone.

It's like I'm in mourning.

 

 

I've only got myself to blame, I'll be 58 in May and I've abused my hearing for more than two thirds of those years.

 

So to anyone reading this, look after your ears because hearing loss is a bastard.

I have the opposite problem, my hearing is oversensitive. 

 

When the dog barks I'm like this..

Loud noises like the dogs barking are very uncomfortable, so yeah, I know exactly what you mean. 

Many's the time I've had to rip my hearing aids out especially when they won't shut up.

Little sods.

I was expecting a fucking avalanche of them to be honest!

[Remmie]

When I cook and serve food on the table, about 75% of the time my wife finds 300 fucking things to do before sitting down and eating it (5+ minutes) while it gets cold, then when finally sat down asks me for a drink. Had the mother in law staying over who is otherwise brilliant but found out where she gets it from.

Yeah, people like them don't get where they are without probably have a bit of a bully in them, bet she's hardly a shrinking violet.

[sir roger]

I was bullied is just the 'go to ' phrase at the moment for everybody , making it practically meaningless.

 

On a similar note seeing 'brave' people whining on about their problems every time I turn on the tv is making me borderline homicidal.

The overuse of the term ‘suffer from’ 

Even the most minor ailment or discomfort  now is pretexted by ‘I suffer from’

 

Suffering brings to mind images of people going through the the utmost hell like losing someone close or dying of a genuinely dreadful disease, you don’t ‘suffer from’ a slight anxiety of speaking in front of a crowd.

 

There was a post on our local FB page the other day when someone asked which doctors had the best pain clinic or something. This led to all the usual gobshites from the fibromyalgia crew jumping on trying to ‘out suffer’ each other. 
 

Baffling how according to them they’re basically crippled and in constant agony but also the first ones to threaten violence   and pap on about how hard they are when they want to post about someone being parked outside their house or setting off fireworks.

They keep saying on the snooker that Judd Trump has been complaining about the conditions at this weeks venue. Ronnie amongst others have done it in the past. Fuck off the lads in the top 16 of this sport are getting paid thousands just for turning up and playing a few hours snooker, staying in a plush hotel don't moan that your dressing room is too small or the practice table room hasn't got the right wattage bulbs in. Fucking arrogant little wankers go and work on a building site for year for a 12th of your annual earnings and see how far moaning gets you. Jumped up cunt Trump I've never liked him.
