Random Irritations

Went to Nausicaa in Boulogne yesterday. Absolutely fabulous aquarium (with a massive new section since we last went). Irritation? All those folk (nearly half perhaps?) getting in the way, taking videos of the fish, instead looking at the damn things.

Was bank hol in France yesterday so was really crowded. There'll be thousands upon thousands of near identical photos uploaded to the Web adding nothing to the sum of human knowledge. And most of them never to be looked at again after a few days ...
 
The "Drive for dough..." and "WHS doesn't work" threads - the best arguments in many years for the forum having an "ignore this thread" button.

And I know I could just not click on them, but (a) I'm weak and continually think that maybe something interesting has been added (spoiler alert - it hasn't) and (b) good software should be there to help us.
 
Getting loads of letters and emails from my (soon to be) old broadband supplier trying to convince me to stay. If I contacted an ex lover as much as they are contacting me I would be accused of stalking and have a restraining order placed on me!

Have you not been in the LIV and football threads?
 
The current use of ‘super’ in place of ‘very’. Just heard that the greens are ‘super tricky’ and the rain isn‘t ‘super heavy’.
 
So you'd both be super annoyed by this then.... ;)

Probably the 3rd or 4th time I've mentioned this but the phrases " there's nothing worse/better than...." need discarding to Room 101 ASAP.
My imagination can knows few boundaries....
 
Almost as irksome as people starting their reply to a question with “So…..”

Really grinds my gears.

So, there’s nothing worse than …….😬
 
There's a roundabout on the way to the Club.
It's a T junction with, for me, a straight ahead and a left.
I have good vision of whats coming that I have to give way to..
Drivers coming from my left have very little vision, so little that, to be safe, you need to be around 5mph or less....
3 times this week I've had to slam the anchors on because some lowlife numbnut has decided that there's nothing coming and they're just going to go anyway and hang the consequences....
One day I'm just going to brace myself and not bother to stop.....
 
First proper sunny day here today. About 20 degrees. No golf for me though as my wife is out on the razzle all day with her mates. I sorted dance, gymnastics etc. Dog walked. Lunch made and gardens cut. Sun was blazing so me and the dog sat out the back, soaking up the rays. Just finishing my second can and get a text asking if I can pick her and 2 of her mates up from the station at 9.30. The Indian I ordered will now be consumed without an ice cold lager. Mario Balotelli said it best - “Why always me?”.

“Sorry love, I’ve had 3 cans already” is surely the reply?
