Random Irritations

Mrs Shark going out for the night, leaving the Sky Box on live pause and then being totally unable to find the remote control. Turned out it was in her bag. There will be payback for this. Oh yes.
 
Generally, as long as they follow the rules, I have no issue with cyclists....I used to be one.
But, for the Love of God, make up your minds!!
Either cycle on the road or on the pavement - I don't care which, just pick one and stick with it.
Switching from pavement to road to pavement to road is going to end up one way - you either dead or in hospital.
Twice, in the space of 5 minutes, I saw a cyclist veer onto the road from the pavement and narrowly miss getting killed...and this was at 7 am!!!
 
The I-Pad was put to use instead, to be honest as it is most nights when Mrs Shark is watching her useless drivel. I had the choice of posting on this forum or watching porn. My hit count here is going up nicely :-)
 
Having to go out in fancy dress even though I know the rest of the pub won't be. And, I'm going to be the first there so I'll have to stand at the bar and look ridiculous.....
 
Scoring a 4 over par, 7 under handicap, (43 points for any one not scottish) in a nothing swindle this afternoon, when there is a medal tomorrow morning, when I will play rubbish.

Yep. 92, net 81. Flipping rubbish. Cows bottom and banjo. All day. Baltic cold. 4 hours 40. First 4 out this morning took 4.45, and set the pace for the day. They need a cattle prod up the nethers.
 
Babies in pubs!

(Bring back smoking in pubs i say - no-one ever brought their baby into a smoke-fugged bar!)
Totally agree. We have a couple of Wetherspoons in Reading and there are always parents in there having drink after drink with screaming babies in a cot or pushchair. Alternatively their offspring are allowed to run around the pub making loads of noise and they then get shirty if you ask them to control them as you're trying to have a quiet and enjoyable time.

Played badly this morning and my mood wasn't enhanced when I came in and next door was trying to change the brakes on his car (and clearly had no idea what he was doing) and had everything sprawled over out drive making it impossible to get to my garage to but the Go-Kart away

You should get an infraction for not telling us which pub so we could come along...







and offer moral support, obviously 🤣
