He is a brave man

Apologies Al, they're off again :frown:

Signing up to a new gym, and no less than 5 days later the fvcking place got liquidated.

I shouldn't laugh, but ...:supergrin:

Oh wow, what a ****.

Who are they?

That’s happened to me twice.

Working on sites in and around London.I need a career change:(:(

Putting on 2lbs.

Meh. A good shit ought to sort that out.:)

Come back when its 2st :D

That Studio Pelaton ad makes me want to destroy the tv.

Steve McManaman

Yeh it’s bad enough hearing him talk about a team he supports. Imagine any other club.

Wanker.

Seeing Morph for the first time in ages just to find out it's a Tesco advert. Their marketing department has no soul at all. Disgusting

Shearer - on MOTD he is boring, when he commentates he’s loud and boring.

I was listening and was pleasantly surprised by him.

Was he tickling you with a feather at the time ?

Great European Nights at A*****d.

Fvcking Electric Dreams ad.

People on public transport who very obviously have a cold sniffling and snuffling but don't have the wit about them to blow their noses so that they can breathe.

Are they too tight to buy tissues?

That since Hunter have moved their Wellington manufacture over to china they are crap and only last a couple of months before falling apart.

They were always a rip-off.

I don't know if you have this sort of thing in The UK, but I have satellite radio in my car, and you can get different stations that are dedicated to playing just the 50's, 60's, 70's etc., etc..

I find myself listening a lot to the 60's and 70's stations, but what is really annoying is they wheel out these DJ's from that era to interject their wit and wisdom periodically between songs.

Now the fact that a guy who was 30 in the 60's or 70's would now be in his (or her) 70's or even 80's makes them terrible at what they do, if in fact they were ever any good. All the little anecdotes and very bad attempts at humor are cringe-worthy. Totally ruin the listening pleasure.

I suspect it would be like listen to Tony Blackburn or David Hamilton still in The UK.

David Hamilton is still on the radio doing just what you Described. Very annoying.

We have Magic radio which does much the same thing, albeit a bit more recent. We had Kids From America Kim Wilde and Never Gonna Give You Up Rick Astley as presenters who must have had written into their contracts that their songs are played at least once an hour, regardless of whether it was their show or not, fecking torture. Now we have Ronan Keating in the mornings so it’s wall to wall Westlife.

From prison ?

Has he got dementia ?

When we're at home in Austria we have similar stations, but no presenters. Just wall to wall music from your chosen era/genre. Bliss.

The official club website advertising Christmas parties already!

Since joining the National Trust, not being able to visit the Olde Shoppe without the Mrs buying something.

In fairness, most of the time it's like that here. It's just either at night or at the weekend they roll these old guys out.

Chris Sutton

Controlfreaks who complain.about how they have to do everything

But if I don't, it's not done properly.

Karen Carney (sp) I hate her voice, it’s like chalk on a blackboard.

The legal “profession”. Absolute jobs for the boys.

Wankers.

When did you meet my ex ?

Women you mean?

About 9 years ago apparently.

Yes, totally agree.

My God, my heart bleeds for you and your son, had to use TWO paper straws, what probably made it worse for you is i expect you didn't grab two when you paid and had to go ALL the way back to the counter for another.

Have you ever tried to stow your bag while sitting down, or even standing UNDER the overheads, pretty tricky i would guess.

Jog on mate.

This is a thread sharing thousands of slightly annoying things that happen in life....the key word being ‘annoying’, no one is saying these things are earth shattering or devastating.

My post was agreeing with another person that it’s annoying that McDonald’s is advertising how great their new straw is, when in our experience it’s actually not.

And no, we didn’t grab two straws initially, as we’ve never needed to be wasteful before. Which is ironic because McDs were meant to be helping the environment with their wonderful new straw.

:rolleyes:

Even so, two paper straws are more environment friendly than one plastic, and the walk back for the second straw helps to keep you fit

Most of them seem to be very annoying on twitter as well (e.g. Jolyon Windmill)

A song about a film about science fiction performed acoustically in front of iphone-wielding hipster ***** sporting Victorian beards. They all need stabbing to death with the cider apples they are marketing.

:D

If you are eating in McDonald's - the LAST thing you are thinking about is keeping fit :D

Salford gaining promotion

Wankers

The big fish small pond 'luck' will run out next or the subsequent season. We'll see how munificent that are when £15m is needed to move the team forward.

The legal profession and legal system.

TFL rejecting my appeal for a PCN for not paying congestion charge, despite me providing evidence that their payment website was down on the day, and that I'd attempted to spend 30 minutes on the phone before giving up because it was going to take much longer than that.

Crooks.

Yes, very true

You should have told them "i am free when i am unavailable"

The ‘annoying’ part was McDonalds boosting about their fabulous new straw, when it’s not.

It’s the false representation and unwarranted self congratulation by them in their publicity that’s the problem.

Hence my comment of "I bet he is".

But look on the bright side - it keeps a few more tossers off the roads

T.V ads in general.
What happened to the ad makers? I can remember in the 70's/80's looking forward to some ads as they were genuinely funny.
The worst culprit must be Nationwide - the 2 girls singing unfunny ditties, the old girls forcing themselves to laugh but worst of all, the girl in the photo booth with her gay mate.
'So I can share sunrises with you'.
Embarrassing.

I was thinking the same thing recently. It's all been nailed down by focus group analysis and algorithms. I am absolutely certain now that they build in annoyance, because it causes the watcher to remember it and is a lot cheaper than being creative.

Things that annoy you
 

What about that Captain Obvious - a very annoying, and painfully unfunny c unit sounds American , should be deported.
Martin Freeman, nice guy, fine actor, but no more Vodaphone ads, please.
Meerkats, feck off!

EastEnders winning a BAFTA

Was that awarded by Gary Lineker as well then? Bit of a pattern emerging here.

Men who have to lean on the wall with their arm/body/face to support themselves at urinals. What is that about?

Alcohol?

No, and I am not recommending that you try, but of course one could always wait for a lull in the boarding, or of course until some selfish stowing git with a seat closer to the entrance gets on

Or that your annoyance threshold has decreased, with your advancing years ?

I have become increasingly **** intolerant since hitting my 50's.

The award is surely won by Experian for the "data self" ads, especially the one on the naturist campsite. if ever there was a face that needed a good hiding....

Oh, and the Andrex one, clean as a baked bean on a surfboard? if that was my kid, i'd stick them in care.

It annoyed me yesterday, when in a conference call with some senior management on the mobile while driving (hands-free obviously), when the traffic lights ahead changed, which stopped me turning right. It annoyed me even more when I yelled "******** HELL!!" at said lights, only to remember that I hadn't turned muted my phone. :o

Don't want to be that old bugger who shouts at clouds and younger people, but the response I got to an advert for apprentices to earn 19k PA and earn an NVQ was annoying to say the least. At the end of the the two years there was a good chance it'd be converted to a £27k permanent post. £27k at 18??? But the response was generally, "nah, I've got propa dreams bruv".

The Officers Mess at Akrotiri has cushioned padding at head height above the urinals for when you are feeling a little 'tired and emotional'.

Apprentice what?

Sorcerer. Mickey-takers need not apply.

Pen-pushing council scum.

Iirc so does the sergeants mess at akrotiri.

Running out of ink half way through printing urgent documents.

You need an apprenticeship for that?

If you had done a pen-pushing apprenticeship, you would not have allowed that to happen...

No idea. Just saw it and thought that was decent bunce for people with no qualifications; surprised at the lack of response when all I hear is there is nothing for young British people and all the good jobs are being taken by forrins.

Tis true.

Blooming updates from the Captain an hour into a two hour flight. Completely unneccesary. I'm trying to bloody sleep!

A cunning plan from the Crew to make the walking freight buy some overpriced brew.....I bet you bought a can of coke to knock you back to sleep :)

They give it away in first dontcha know

People who feel the need to sleep during a two hour flight.


Just drink like the rest of us.

It's ChiswickEagle. It's probably his private Learjet.

Are you one of those ***** who recline the seat on already knee-crunching short-haul flights?

No such luxuries on Ryanair.

Dead right about the adds, but the best bank to deal with and use that i ever had, and i have had a few.

Where exactly do you wait for a lull in boarding if you haven't stowed your bag, or do you mean just take your seat and leave your bag in the isle?

The Clowns reaching the playoff final.

People who go back on their word. Duplicitous sods

Scum who put their feet on train seats

the 95 % of all drivers who turn into a road by cutting across the wrong side of the road they are turning into even when cars are coming that way

Worse than that, wankers who sit next to the window and put their bag on the seat next to them.
I always get them to move their bag so I can sit there regardless of any other empty seats.
C*nts.

Yep airport and plane heroes who have to sleep across the seats like they are Tom hanks and have been there for months.

I'm at an airport I'm so sleep deprived. Wank+rs

Cockney Mockney chav wankers who sell moody perfume etc outside empty shop fronts to gormless members of the public.

The empty seats behind the dug outs in an FA Cup final at Wembley. True fans would kill for those seats and they make it look as though no one cares. Are they the “sponsors” seats ? If they are can we get some decent ones that will turn up ��

Carl Benjamin - when is this odious individual gonna end up in court?
