Home for the terminally bewildered, one step ahead
Just been thinking that as I am getting older I, believe it or not, am getting less cuddly and more intolerant. So I have compiled a short list of things that annoy me OR that I cannot see any need/use for ie. Alan Carr

jimmy Carr

Josh Widdicombe

estate agents

TV sub personalities that insist on bringing in their spouses and giving them a speaking part

ie mockney Compton on combat dealers and his wife

slaphead Drew Pritchard off SAlvage Hunters and his poorly dressed wife

that twonk on the yoghurt advert that has to have a stunt double walk into a glass door and then gets something white on her nose, possibly yoghurt.  Too thick to eat with a spoon WTGrape is going to happen when she tries a fork!

CGD 3 phase boards

anything knightsbridge ( ML )

potholes

ALDI LIDL fruit and veg from their 'straight to compost' range

associated sales....get to,checkout 'are you alright for toilet rolls and chocolate?'

trying to fit wiper blades

catching finger with ROLOC disc on a die grinder

flies

horse flies

mozzies

chancers

muppets who try to 'bid' me on eBay

M4 SDS bits

leaking batteries  

 Cheap razors

T&E that won't strip

SWA.  Ditto

CCS wire

CCA wire

Tw@s that rock up to a restaurant in pink shorts, Hawaiian shirt, espadrilles etc.......then they validate their existence by stubbing their toe on a step and call an ambulance due to quite a large blood loss

Portaloos on a hot humid muggy day

caravans and everything associated with them

nitrox injected cars.   WHY ?

car music so loud you can hear it in another galaxy

Pharmacy assistants....why does it take 3 weeks to take a box off a shelf

cashiers who insist on telling you how to use your card

cashiers that pre empty the 'remove card' message

cyclist groups any wider than two tw@s 

cyclists on pavement

carrot and corrander soup

dog egg trees

supermarket aisle dawdellers 

Doctors receptionists who by definition know more than the doctor after 5 minutes training

there may be a couple I have missed

 
Back in the day I had to study Latin at school.  In the translations certain phrases were said to be "given". I.e. It was understood what they meant and didn't need expanding upon....much like Brucie is in my rantings  /statements of fact

same as Ant and Dec

Gloria Hunniford

Esther 'I never met or even knew Jimmy Savile' Rantzen

Michael Gove

any football pundit

any footballer

any football manager

foreign call centres

people who,will not integrate

Now what the hell are :-  

Mockney Compton ?

Drew Pritchard ?

CGD boards ?

Knightsbridge ?

CCS Wire   ?

Ah  yes  David  Gringworthy  Walliams    

Designer  clothes  ...rip off .    our friends grandson  21,   although on a Student Grant,  insists on designer clothes from a certain shop  ...will not tolerate, say,  a T shirt from  ASDA George  range .  The only differences are the  labels and the prices. 

 
I used  to do a lot of work for a clothing /sport clothing manufacturer and retailer

originally ALL the leisure stuff was made in UK including denim, knitwear and shoes. Technical stuff was made abroad in their own factory.

now all non tech stuff is made in China, Vietnam, Philippines anywhere they can source it. Same factories as 90% of the market

Tech is still made abroad in same place 

son n law only wears Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss.....he won't listen to me!
