Trying to decide on a holiday for next year. We're just never going to agree so I might go on my own.
This is very much a 1st world irritation. On holiday at the moment in Italy, or little Germany as it turns out. If I want a beer I can't have a Peroni, Moretti or any other Italian beer. If I want a German beer, no problem. I found a bar yesterday that served German beer on draught but had bottles of Moretti. Great, I'll have one of those. It arrived in a straight glass, Muenchen branding ?. Come on..........

Less than £3 for a pint of Leffe. What's not to like?
OK, there's the sticky tables, the blokes in vests, the sticky floors, the uncleared glasses and plates of food remains left on tables and the large ladies in too short dresses. And did I mention the food?
But the Leffe is less than £3 ...

Pretty much everything you've listed. I don't care how cheap the beer is; if there's a good chance I'll end up wearing somebody else's beer I'm not interested in going there.

Lake Garda?
Ha ha, yes. We are in Lazise and loving it but at times I wish it stayed a little more Italian and less Munich on tour. It's not the people but all of the German branding that annoys a tad.
Hey, it isn't the Red Lion in Spain with John Smith's and Carlsberg on tap but part of coming to Italy is to have Italian food and drink. Thank heavens for the endless Aperol Spritz ?

I'm in your camp really. Honestly! Nearly alway goes 'somewhere else'. But I can't say I never go to one (the Ledger House in Canary Wharf is ok). But please god, don't ever let me forget that i shouldnt buy their food ...

Ah, I love Lake Garda, beautiful part of the world.
I remember going on a coach tour with a German guide. We stopped at a place called, I think, Riva.
We sat outside having a coffee and behind us sitting in the corner of the restaurant was the guide tucking in to his continental breakfast, and probably on the house for bringing a coach load of tourists to their restaurant. Made me chuckle, but good luck to him!
I'm now gonna try and post a pic of said restaurant.
Sorry can't do it on here.

The World Cup Final being played at 3pm (UK) on Sunday 18th December clashes with my church's Carol Service - the service most widely supported by non regular church goers of the year. And so as we cannot get the timing of the Cup Final changed we have to move our timing. No big deal - just irritating.

So no irritation about the fact that it’s been given to a country with an appalling human rights record, or about the number of workers killed during the construction of the stadia, just about the fact that the carol service needs to be moved. ??

My wife has had to go into her office for once, so I said I would meet her for lunch at Pret. Only irritation is trying to decipher which one! There's literally about 7 in vicinity, it's ridiculous. They're every 100 yards.
