Random Irritations

Up early this morning, out playing golf. Didn't play the full 18 due to the howling gale but that wasn't the irritation, I actually had a nice time. Came home and put the Liverpool game on. Annoyingly they won, but not irritating. No, I fell asleep towards the end of the game due to the cold windswept golf and woke up to find my wife and daughter watching Love Actually on the tv :eek::eek::eek:. It's a Saturday, Soccer Saturday rules and this guff is on the tv. Now that is irritating.

That reminds me of my father in law, he was the only one who wanted to watch MoD Saturday nights and he always fell asleep sometime during the second match. We used to slowly turn the volume down, switch channels and slowly turn the volume up. He used to wake up quite some time later and it was always " who changed the channel? I was watching that", change the channel and virtually immediately fall back to sleep.
 
Phil Thompson. In fact the whole soccer Saturday pundit panel - they sound like a bunch of half-wits. Now what side is Love Actually on?!
That is why there are two tellies in my lounge, one to watch the matches on MoD and the other to watch golf, snooker or anything else when the presenters are having a rabbit.

It's the childish attention seeking "GOAL GOAL GOAL" and inability to string a sentence together that gets my goat!
 
My golf today, lost the ability to hit 2 shots in a row correctly.:poop:

980 or 981 on sky. That’s the bbc red button. Final score from 2.30. You Don’t get that shouting and hollering. More reservered for me
 
Foliage, more specifically jungles on roundabouts.
We have a few.
You can't see anything past the thing...
You have to stop.
Once you've stopped you can't get going again as you cant see if there's anything coming.
You have to take your life in your hands and go for it....
Dead safe....pun intended:mad:

We have some exactly the same. I can never understand why the council plant in the middle of them and then when they do they don’t bother with the upkeep
 
I remember seeing flowers being placed at scenes of fatal accidents on the road, and councils trying to justify, on news bulletins, removing them as a distraction and dangerous. Now "The Codfather" fish and chip bar can pay the Council to advertise their shop on the roundabout??

A pee poor attempt at road safety; if we take out the see through, that'll force them to stop as they can't see what's coming. Yes, you numpties, and they won't know when it's safe to pull away as they can't see what's coming... :rolleyes: :mad:

Ah yes, but if you drive a hulking great 4x4, you are fine. Just don't drive a sports car. Esp. A lowered one. Like me.

People behind you think you will be able to nip accross, in the smallest of gaps. The reallity is, you just can't see diddly.
 
We are due to get fibre to the door broadband at work. Men in a van turned up, followed the cables and advised that the cable was 60 metres away and a trench would need to be dug to connect us up. Next day I received an email showing the route and could I okay it, all very efficient. I sent it to my landlord who asked for a slightly different route. Contractors okayed the new route, landlord signed it off.

The cable will need to cross a footpath, 1 metre across, and that is owned by a council run quango. I need their approval as well. It is on an industrial estate and is only used by dog walkers. 3 days after I have signed approval from my landloard, with a team ready to go and dig, I'm still waiting for the council quango to give approval :mad:.
 
litterbugs, walked home from a meeting at the council as Schools were out, witnessed a couple of groups of kids all just chuck litter, without a care. straight out of a shop, cans, plastic bottle and crisp packets, one of them even threw stuff in someone s front garden:poop:
 
Taxi drivers.
Fairly sure many don’t possess a driving licence. Appalling standards of driving.
Daughter told me she got a taxi on Friday night after a night out. She said he was being a bit suggestive throughout the journey, asking if she was single and other questions which were totally inappropriate for someone supposedly providing a public service.
Daughter felt quite threatened and got him to drop her off down the road from her house. She even pretended to live at another house as he hung around a bit too long.

You’d think they’d know better, especially after recent court case round here!
Bloody fuming. Suggested in future she gets a picture of the taxi licence plate and report him to the council or the police. Doubt they’d do owt about it though. They never did before. 🤬
