little things that annoy the shit out of you

[Mike D]

The BT police come out and give us talks now and again.

Basically say look away cos some will stand there and stare you out.

One of our lads hit a horse the other night and that shook him up, even a pigeon makes an almighty bang and you shit ya self.

 

Ive got a bit of a dark sense of humour but again I’ve never had it happen. My ex was a nurse and she had a dark sense of humour, some jobs you’ve got to.

 

True, I had a dog which looked like lassie running towards me and I could see it for ages about a quarter of a mile away, I was motoring along and blowing the horn like fuck and at the last second it darted out the way. 

Went back the mess room and told them and this old hand fella just said, he might have been trying to tell you so something!

People saying "track and trace". Those are synonyms, it makes no sense, it's test and trace.

 

I realise of all the myriad things to take umbrage with during a global pandemic this should be a minor annoyance, but it never fails to annoy.

In every documentary, someone always says "this was before the internet, before cellphones!" like the 1980s were some mystical time.

I hate on documentaries these days where every minute or so it cuts to some non expert bell end like this. Just have one person doing a voice over.

What the fuck is that 'on' doing there?  Pack it in for heaven's sake.

I am hard of hearing and my main problem with documentaries is that you can hardly hear what is being said above the din of background sound effects or music.

Yep, not just documentaries either. That constant drone makes a lot of stuff unwatchable.

You'd think that these days you could just have the dialogue without the noise by pressing the red button.

When you sell stuff on EBay, pack everything up properly in a box, promptly send it off by courier etc. You leave feedback for the buyer. Then, when the courier confirms delivery, the buyer who has fucking loads of feedback doesnt leave you any. Cunts!

Ha, grammatical pedants. You're as bad as that cunt who moans about missing apostrophes. What is this, a fucking Grammar School or internet forum?

Well, in some cases, it's both.

On an internet forum, 'standards' is a paradox.

Covid, Covid threads, jerks making 50 posts a day debating it.

it depends on the forum, or rather, its users.  

 

Anyway, there are worse things going on on this forum than my grammar nazi behaviour.

Totally agree, but I'll make an exception with this response.

Im watching digging Britain which I like and Alice Roberts has a tidy body but why do so many archaeologists wear tie die t-shirts have mad coloured hair and wear spirit crystal jewellery. People can do what they like but it's a shit uniform of choice.

Quite right Alice is quite comely but its like TV antique so called experts having to acquire some sort of zany side to their character, feather in your cap, scarf when its not even cold, that type of thing. 

Fruity accent too, what can ail?

This week I am mainly reading Voltaire :

[Carvalho Diablo]

The way Roger Waters pronounces "fantasy" as "van da zee" at 2:55 of Hey You has boiled my piss for nearly 40 years.

 

Love that song too.

Yep. Less contents and more expensive too.

We need an original recipe original size website that reproduces all our nostalgic treats how they were originally made. It may turn out its better now. Personally I think they're ripping off our taste buds and pockets. I hates them all.
